Delphi Murders — Abby & Libby

On February 13, 2017, teenagers Abigail Williams (13) and Liberty German (14) were murdered while hiking near the Monon High Bridge Trail in Delphi, Carroll County, Indiana. Liberty's smartphone captured video and audio of a man on the bridge, including the words "down the hill," which became central to the investigation. Their bodies were discovered the following day approximately one mile from the bridge. The case remained unsolved for over five years until Richard Allen, a local CVS pharmacy technician, was arrested on October 26, 2022. Allen was tried in Carroll County from October 18 to November 11, 2024, and convicted on all four murder counts. On December 20, 2024, Judge Fran Gull sentenced Allen to 130 years in prison, imposing two consecutive 65-year terms.
