Leaving #Delphi tonight after being here for nearly 4 full weeks. Just a few things to pass along…1. From a visual standpoint, things are starting to return to pre-trial Delphi. The barricades & barriers have been hauled away and courthouse square is now fully open.

2. How strange to be able to walk into any Carroll County courthouse entrance freely with no signs of police, sheriff deputies or security anywhere. Inside the courthouse, security has returned to how it was before the Delphi murders trial. That would be no security at all.

3. The metal detectors purchased for the trial are no longer being monitored. I’m told they don’t need to be. No metal detectors used at the CC courthouse prior to this trial. No need for them now.

4. The town is still painted purple and light blue in honor of Abby and Libby with downtown businesses showing support for the murdered girls and their families.

5. Talked to five different Delphi residents today. Four think the jury got its verdict right. One isn’t sure. All said they think the trial gave a sense of closure the town has been needing for 7 1/2 years.

6. My final stop before leaving Delphi after this 4-week trial: where this tragic case began. My producer & I visited the Monon High Bridge.

So quiet.
So beautiful.
So sad.

This crime changed #Delphi.Covering the crime & trial changed me in ways I cannot explain.

"For #RichardAllen's many supporters, he was convicted not because of what the jurors saw but because of what they did not see. Here's a look at what issues he could raise on appeal."

Odinism, confessions, alleged judicial bias among issues Richard Allen could raise on appeal

"This isn't over at all," a visibly upset Kathy Allen, Richard Allen's wife, said as she left the courthouse Monday, hinting at an inevitable appeal.

@BobSegallWTHR

WTHR has already submitted a request to have a camera in the courtroom for the sentencing. No reason to believe Judge Gull will grant that request but have to try anyway.

Another hero - Kelsi German has been the most amazing and inspiring sister I’ve ever seen! It’s an absolute pleasure to know her!

It’s been an honor getting to know Libby’s family especially her sister Kelsi. I am forever grateful to @NancyGrace
for sending me to Delphi and giving me the privilege of working on this important case.

Leaving Delphi today with these two brave girls forever in my heart. Libby filmed and Abby helped keep the phone safe. These two alone solved their own murder. Rest in peace Libby and Abby. I will keep working hard in your memory—following truth wherever it leads.

"Today, rejoice that justice has come to the murderer of Abigail 'Abby' Williams and Liberty 'Libby' German. Pray for peace for their family. And never, ever forget them."Kelsi German, Abby's sister, reposted this quote on X following Richard Allen's guilty verdict.

That changed on Sept. 21, 2022.

Kathy Shank, a retired government employee who had started volunteering as a clerk to help with the investigation, came across a "lead sheet" about Allen.

The document seemed to catch Shank's attention. She'd previously read that a girl had reported seeing a man on the trail on the afternoon of Feb. 13, 2017, when Abby and Libby went on a hike and were never heard from again. Allen, according to the document, told police three days after the girls disappeared that he was also on the trail that afternoon.

Richard Allen was not on Delphi investigators' radar. Then a volunteer found a box of tips.

Testimonies in the double-murder trial revealed how investigators focused on Richard Allen in 2022.

“Justice has been served for the girls. I want to thank the jurors. I hope they get a chance to see this, that they took time out of their lives…to get to a verdict, and for that, I’m grateful,” Mike Patty says at a press conference following the sentencing of #RichardAllen.


“A form of justice was served, but it does not bring Abby and Libby back,” Tony Liggett says at a press conference following the sentencing of #RichardAllen.


“Any notion of a coverup, any notion of us having decided this…is not correct,” ISP Superintendent Doug Carter says at a press conference following the sentencing of #RichardAllen.
