An Indiana jury found Richard Allen, 52, guilty of two counts of murder and two counts of felony murder Monday, Nov. 11, in the deaths of two teenage girls in 2017. The case made national headlines, becoming known as the “Delphi murders.”
The jury spent 19 hours deliberating before coming to its verdict. Allen was arrested in 2022, five years after investigators found 13-year-old Abigail Williams and 14-year-old Liberty German dead near a trail.
The case garnered national attention after video and audio of a suspect was discovered on Libby’s phone. Investigators eventually identified the “bridge guy” as Allen who was working at local CVS pharmacy until his arrest.
The Associated Press has reported Allen could be sentenced to up to 130 years in prison. His sentencing is set for Dec. 20.
