Finally! JUSTICE FOR ABBY AND LIBBY
It's taken seven years, but the families of Abby Williams and Libby German sat in a courtroom today and heard Richard Allen declared guilty by a 12-person jury. Allen was convicted on all four charges, two counts of murder and two counts of murder while kidnapping the girls. The jury listened to nearly three weeks of testimony and deliberated a total of 18 hours. The bodies of teen girls were found near the Monon High Bridge in February 2017, in Delphi. Allen, a Delphi resident and local pharmacy tech was arrested five years after the murders. Searchers found the two girls dead in a wooded area near the Monon High Bridge. Libby was unclothed and bloodied. Both girls had their throats slit. Allen, who confessed at least 60 times, showed no emotion or reaction as the verdict was read. He was then cuffed and taken from the courtroom. Allen’s wife, Kathy Allen, said “this isn’t over at all” to 13 News as she left the courtroom. Sentencing will be at 9am ET on December 20.
