Richard Allen Sentenced For 2017 Delphi Murders
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING An Indiana man was sentenced Friday to 130 years in prison for the brutal stabbing deaths of two girls in the small town of Delphi. The 60-foot-tall Monon High Bridge, once a popular backdrop for celebratory photo shoots — including weddings, local news station WRTV noted in 2017 — became an infamous landmark following the killings: Not long before they disappeared, Libby posted an eerie photo on Snapshot of Abby walking on the railroad trestles — and appeared to capture the killer approaching the girls in a blurry video later recovered from her phone. The man, dressed in jeans and a blue coat, was nicknamed “Bridge Guy” by true crime sleuths obsessed with the case after the state police circulated snippets of the video in which he apparently directs the girls to go “down the hill.” A detective testified that he could hear one of the girls say that the man had a gun, WTHR reported. Allen’s attorneys had earlier claimed that the girls had been killed in a “ritualistic sacrifice.” The judge barred Allen’s attorneys from presenting that third-party theory during the trial, however. At a news conference following the verdict Friday, prosecutor Nick McLeland said that the girls themselves provided “arguably the biggest piece of evidence” in the case: the video that Libby recorded on her phone.
