Within days, police released files found on Libby's cellphone — two grainy photos and audio of a man saying “down the hill” — that they believed represented the killer. According to the affidavit, Allen said he had never been to the place where the bullet was found, that he did not know the owner of the property, and “had no explanation as to why a round cycled through his firearm would be at that location.” The case has seen repeated delays after evidence was leaked, Allen’s public defenders withdrew and were later reinstated by the Indiana Supreme Court. Allen County Superior Court Judge Fran Gull, who is overseeing the case, issued a gag order at prosecutors’ request in December 2022, two months after Allen’s arrest, barring attorneys, law enforcement officials, court personnel, the coroner and the girls’ relatives from commenting on the case, including on social media. “Next to physical evidence, they want to hear that the guy said he did it.” Allen's attorneys had hoped to present evidence that the girls were killed in a ritual sacrifice by members of a pagan Norse religion and white nationalist group known as the Odinists, but Gull ruled against that, saying the defense “failed to produce admissible evidence" of such a connection.
