DELPHI MURDERS: Richard Allen arrested in connection to double killing of Liberty German and Abigail Williams
DELPHI, INDIANA: A 50-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the 2017 murder of two girls in Delphi, Indiana. More than five years after the murders of Abigail "Abby" Williams and Liberty "Libby" German, officials arrested Richard Allen on Friday, October 28. Allen was taken into custody at the Carroll County Jail in Delphi before being transferred to a state facility for his protection, reported Fox 59. He has not yet been charged, but according to law enforcement officials, the arrest is a "major development."
On February 13, 2017, the teenagers, both aged 14, vanished off the Monon High Bridge. Their remains were discovered on February 14, 2017, at midday, after being reported missing, reported Metro. Since the high-profile murder case has been unresolved for more than five years, a ton of online rumors have been spread regarding who the murderer is. By looking through the images, videos, and audio files discovered on Libby German's phone, police were able to piece together some minor pieces of information. Investigators think that on a day when they were off from school, they had intended to meet a man, reported Fox 59.
