MOSCOW, IDAHO: More than five years after the slayings of two Indiana teens, Abigail Williams, 13, and Liberty German, 14, the culprit is finally behind the bars. The 50-year-old Richard Matthew Allen, who got charged with two counts of murder on October 31, 2022, is scheduled for trial in January 13, 2023, in the Carroll County Circuit Court. But what has caught the attention of internet sleuths now is the striking similarities of the Delphi case to the cold-blooded University of Idaho murders.

From how both crimes took place in small towns to how law enforcement (LE) is handling the Idaho investigation, many shared their take comparing the two. One wrote on Reddit, "In both cases, these are very violent crimes that occurred in small towns where you wouldn't expect them to happen. They involve young women and girls who were seemingly attacked at random. In both cases, the investigators closed ranks and refused to disclose information surrounding the case."
