Delphi Murders Trial Begins: Richard Allen Accused of Killing Two Teens

Prosecutors present video and ballistic evidence against Allen, while defense claims investigation errors and reasonable doubt.

Richard Allen, 52, faces charges of murder and kidnapping in the deaths of Abigail Williams and Liberty German in Delphi, Indiana.
Prosecutors allege Allen forced the teens off a hiking trail at gunpoint before killing them, with video evidence from the victims' phone supporting their case.
A bullet found at the crime scene is said to match Allen's handgun, and incriminating statements were reportedly made by Allen while in custody.
The defense argues that Allen is innocent, suggesting investigation flaws and claiming Allen's statements were made under duress during a mental health crisis.
Emotional testimonies from the victims' families highlighted the girls' last day and the frantic search that followed their disappearance in February 2017.
