After more than seven years of mystery, delays, controversies, and evidence leaks, the alleged killer of best friends Abigail Williams and Liberty German, known as the Delphi murders case, is finally on trial in Delphi, Indiana. Richard Allen, a local resident, was arrested in 2022 and charged with the teenagers’ murders, denying the charges.
During the trial, it was revealed that both girls were believed to have been killed with a knife and a gun, with disturbing details about the crime scene emerging. Allen has been connected to the murders through a bullet found at the scene and has confessed to the murders multiple times while in jail.
The defense has raised theories involving Odinism and neo-Nazis as potential suspects, but the judge has banned these theories from being presented at trial. The defense attorneys have faced their own controversies, with graphic crime scene photos leaked and a subsequent attorney withdrawal.
Jury selection began amidst these delays, with a new set of public defenders appointed to the case. The trial is expected to last about a month, and if convicted, Allen could face a lengthy prison sentence. With the town of Delphi hoping for answers, the trial of Richard Allen is set to shed light on the long-standing mystery surrounding the tragic murders of Abby and Libby.
