Richard Allen Faces Trial for 2017 Delphi Murders

Jury selection begins in the trial of Richard Allen, accused of killing teens Libby German and Abby Williams in a case that has baffled investigators for years.

The trial for Richard Allen, charged with the 2017 murders of Libby German and Abby Williams, commenced with jury selection on October 14, 2024.
Allen, a Delphi resident and former pharmacy technician, was arrested in 2022 after a bullet found at the crime scene was linked to his gun.
The Delphi murders case has remained unresolved for years, drawing public interest due to evidence captured on German's phone and various investigation twists.
Prosecutors allege Allen, referred to as the 'bridge guy,' murdered the girls and left a crucial clue at the crime scene.
Defense attorneys argue Allen's confession was coerced and have been barred from presenting a theory involving a cult, which they claim is responsible for the murders.
