Richard Allen, a resident of Delphi, Indiana, faced trial this week for the tragic murders of two teenage girls, Liberty German and Abigail Williams. The girls, both 13 years old, had gone on a hike on February 13, 2017 and never returned. After an extensive search, their lifeless bodies were discovered the next day on a hiking trail. The news of their deaths shook the small town, leaving everyone in shock and disbelief.
Allen, a 52-year-old man who was married and worked at the local CVS drugstore, was arrested years after the girls' bodies were found. He pleaded not guilty to the charges, but the evidence against him was strong. It was revealed that Allen had been in the same area as the girls on the day of their disappearance. In addition, a warrant filed by an FBI agent in 2017 revealed that the girls had suffered a lot of blood loss, indicating a brutal attack by their killer. The affidavit also mentioned a bullet found near the bodies that matched ones from a gun owned by Allen, which he and his wife were the only ones with access to.
The prosecutor, Nick McLeland, stated that Allen had confessed to the murders on multiple occasions while he was in prison for the past two years. It was a heartbreaking realization for Liberty and Abigail's families, as they had been best friends and had gone on the hike together. Libby had even been posting pictures on Snapchat throughout the day, giving no indication of the tragedy that was about to unfold.
The investigation initially led to a person of interest, Ron Logan, who owned the land where the girls' bodies were found. His voice and build matched the evidence collected from their phones, and he had lied about his whereabouts on the day of their disappearance. However, a thorough search of his property yielded no evidence linking him to the murders.
Another person of interest was Kegan Kline, a convicted sex offender who ran a catfish social media account and had been in contact with Libby German. However, neither Logan nor Kline led to any arrests or charges in the case.
As Allen's trial began, the community held its breath, hoping for justice for Liberty and Abigail. The trial is expected to last for a month, and the families of the girls can only hope for closure and peace after the devastating loss of their loved ones. The investigation may have been a long and arduous process, but it was crucial in bringing the perpetrator to justice. May Liberty and Abigail's memories live on forever in the hearts of those who loved them.
