Only The Killer Would Know: Richard Allen Interrupted From His Plan To Assault The Girls
Key evidence from his confession reshapes the quest for justice for Abigail Williams and Libby German.
*All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law*
The trial of the century — the murders of Abigail Williams and Libby German in Delphi, Indiana— has captivated not only the true crime community but anyone who has been hoping for justice for these two little girls since they were brutally taken from the world in 2017.
It didn't look good for the prosecution until Day 11 of the highly anticipated trial, which was almost entirely closed off to the public. Their “smoking gun,” the Sig Sauer cartridge found by the bodies of the girls at the crime scene, still left doubt in the minds of many that Richard Allen was not the murderer.
The whispered rumors of Allen confessing to investigators and revealing information that “only the killer would know” seemed to be just that: rumor. But Day 11 brought some substance to the case against Allen.
- Libby’s cell phone stopped moving at 2:32 p.m.
- A nearby resident drove by at 2:30 p.m.
