CAPTURED: Killer on the High Bridge

AUDIOCHUCK
About this episode

Today, October 31, 2022, the Indiana State Police, in conjunction with the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, United States Marshals Service, and the Carroll County Prosecutor's Office, held a press conference where they made the announcement thousands of people have been waiting to hear: an arrest had been made for the murders of Abby Williams and Libby German.  

Here’s what we know:  

  • A man named Richard M. Allen, 50, was arrested on the morning of Friday, October 28, 2022.
  • He has been charged with 2 counts of murder and has plead “not guilty” on both counts.
  • Much of the evidence, timeline of events, and how they got to him has not been publicized, so we’ll have to wait until his trial in March 2023.

 

 Even though there has been an arrest, ISP is keeping the tip line and tip email open, so if you have any information about Richard Allen or anything to do with the Delphi case, you can call 765-822-3535, or email abbyandlibbytip@cacoshrf.com.  

You can listen to Libby German's sister Kelsi on Voices for Justice at www.voicesforjusticepodcast.com.
