CARROLL COUNTY — Richard Allen has been found guilty on all four counts in the murders of two teenage girls in Delphi more than seven years ago.
52-year-old Richard Allen was charged with the murders of 13-year-old Abby Williams and 14-year-old Libby German. The two girls disappeared during a hike on Feb. 13, 2017, near the Monon High Bridge Trail. Their bodies were discovered in the woods near that trail a day later.
Allen has been on trial for those murders since Oct. 18. Prosecutors allege Allen committed the killings, citing ballistics evidence and his own confessions. However, the defense has argued there is no DNA or weapons evidence tying him to the killings and that he only confessed because he had a psychotic break.
Allen could face up to 130 years in prison.
