"Delphi Murders Suspect Richard Allen Confesses in Prison Calls, New Documents Reveal"

Richard Allen, the suspect in the 2017 Delphi, Indiana murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German, confessed multiple times to the crimes in phone calls to his wife and mother while in prison, according to court documents. The documents also revealed that investigators believe a "sharp object" was used in the murders. Allen's defense attorneys are contesting the evidence, including an unspent bullet found between the girls' bodies and knives seized from Allen's home. The girls' injuries were determined to be caused by a sharp object, and articles of their clothing were missing from the scene. Allen's mental state and treatment in prison have been raised as issues in the case.
