- Richard Allen is on trial for the 2017 murders of two teenage girls in Delphi, Indiana.
- Key evidence includes an unspent bullet linked to Allen's firearm and a video of a man on a bridge prior to the girls' disappearance.
- The case has raised various theories regarding the nature of the murders, complicating the prosecution's efforts to prove Allen's guilt.
In Delphi, Indiana, the trial of Richard Allen for the murders of two teenage girls, 13-year-old Abigail Williams and 14-year-old Liberty German, continues to reveal significant evidence. The case, which had gone cold for five years, gained traction when a volunteer uncovered a crucial tip. This tip noted the alignment of Allen's timeline with the girls' disappearance. During the investigation, a pathologist reported that both victims suffered severe injuries, particularly to their necks, with wounds suggesting a serrated weapon. Autopsy reports indicated Libby would have bled to death within minutes from her injuries. Law enforcement discovered an unspent bullet that linked Allen to the crime scene, though the defense has raised questions about this evidence, proposing alternate theories regarding the deaths. Additionally, a video surfaced showing a man dubbed 'Bridge Guy,' further complicating the narrative. The defense suggests that the placement of sticks covering the victims may indicate a ritualistic murder. These elements together create a complex picture of the investigation and its legal implications, as the prosecution attempts to connect Allen to the crimes.
