INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Seven years, eight months and 5 days since Abby Williams and Libby German went missing in Delphi, the trial for accused killer Richard Allen is about to begin.
Allen, 52, is charged with murder and murder while committing or attempting to commit kidnapping in the deaths of 13-year-old Abigail “Abby” Williams and 14-year-old Liberty “Libby” German. The girls’ bodies were found near the Monon High Bridge near Delphi on Feb. 14, 2017, a day after they went missing. Allen was arrested in October 2022.

Allen’s defense has filed a response to the prosecution’s Motion in Limine Regarding Composite Sketches. Judge Francis Gull is expected to rule on this motion today.
After the prosecution argued that the sketches are inadmissible due to the fact that they were intended as an ‘investigative tool to generate leads,’ and are irrelevant. The defense is arguing that the sketches are composites of persons witnesses saw on the bridge the day of the murders, and do not look like Richard Allen, therefore they are highly relevant.
