0:00.0 | In February of 2017, two teenage girls were killed in Delphi, Indiana. |
0:15.5 | On February 13th of that year, a day before Valentine's Day, 14-year-old Liberty Libby German and 13-year-old Abigail Abby Williams were out hiking on a |
0:25.2 | historic trailhead near downtown Delphi. |
0:28.3 | They would post a couple of pictures to Snapchat before disappearing that afternoon, and |
0:32.4 | an extensive search of the region would find their bodies the following day. |
0:36.7 | Both had been violently killed, |

1:24.3 | man they believed might have been the killer, which came out just a short time before I released my original episode on this story back in 2019. Finally, in 2022, police |
1:34.1 | announced that they had identified a suspect in the crime. Then 50-year-old Richard Allen, |
1:39.5 | a Delphine native that had surprisingly come forward to police very early on. In the days immediately |
1:45.7 | following the murder of Abbey and Libby, Allen identified himself as someone that had been on the |
