Since Monday, February 13, 2017 was such an unseasonably warm, beautiful day in Indiana, 14-year-old Libby German & 13-year-old Abby Williams decided to head out for a walk along the Delphi Historic Trail in the small town of Delphi, Indiana, a community of just 3,000 people, & never returned home.
A video was later recovered from Libby’s phone that she recorded on the afternoon the girls vanished that helped solve this case nearly eight years later. The residents of Delphi were shocked by their deaths & their small Midwest town was forever changed.
Liberty “Libby” German & Abigail “Abby” Williams were best friends & eighth grade students at Delphi Community Middle School & they had a shared love for art & sports. Since the girls had a four-day weekend & were off of school from Friday to Monday, February 13, 2017, they decided to arrange a sleepover for Sunday at Libby’s house.
Libby German was born on December 27, 2002 in Lafayette, Indiana to parents Derrick & Carrie. She spent much of her free time swimming, playing volleyball, soccer & softball. She loved photography & played the saxophone in her middle school’s band. Libby adored going on vacation, doing crafts & painting. According to her grandparents, she loved life & in the short time she lived, she wanted to get as much out of it as she could.
Abby Williams was born on June 23, 2003 in Michigan to her mother, Anna Williams. According to Anna, her daughter was an amazing person who cared about others & wanted to help people in any way that she could. Like Libby, she also played saxophone in the school band & was on the volleyball team. She loved reading, camping, spending time outdoors & she adored animals, especially her cat, Bongo. She loved photography, art, drawing & even decorated the home she shared with her mom.
On Sunday, February 12, 2017, one day before the girls vanished, Abby spent the night at Libby’s house. When they woke up the next morning, Libby’s father, Derrick German, made the girls banana pancakes for breakfast. Later in the day, Libby’s older sister, Kelsi, dropped the girls off at the Monon High Bridge trail off of County Road 300 North shortly after 1:40 pm. At 1:41 pm Libby posted a photo to Snapchat of herself & Abby in Kelsi’s car. Since the trail where they were headed was a really picturesque spot, the girls wanted to get some fresh air & take pretty pictures for social media.
The girls also wanted to take advantage of the unseasonably warm weather since temperatures that day were over 50 degrees so they planned to go for a hike. As the girls climbed out of Kelsi’s car, Libby told her sister that she loved her & sadly, it was the last time Kelsi ever saw her sister alive.
Investigators were later able to trace the girls movements at the trial after they vanished using cell phone data.
At 1:38 pm, Libby called her dad, who she named Daddy-o in her contact list, to arrange a time to pick them up at the trail later that day. Derrick told his daughter that he was in Frankfort & wouldn’t be able to get to their location for a couple of hours.
Derrick arrived at the trail at about 3 pm, but there was no sign of Libby or Abby at their arranged pick up spot. After he called Libby, he was surprised when she didn’t answer since she would normally pick up right away & she knew he was coming to get her.
Derrick contacted family members & they began looking for the girls, walking along the trails, calling out their names. They continuously tried calling the girls from 4 pm until late into the night as they searched the area in hopes they would find them. Their initial concern was that the girls had injured themselves since they were planning on walking the Monon High Bridge, an abandoned railroad bridge that crosses Deer Creek & is 63 feet high.
Still with no sign of Libby & Abby, the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call about the missing girls at 5:15 pm. Their families, community members & investigators searched the area, scouring around the Monon High Bridge & further downstream of Deer Creek, desperately hoping to find them.
A man named Brad Weber, who owns a property near the trail said that he was awoken at 5 pm to a sheriff’s deputy knocking on his front door, requesting that his property be searched. The search was called off at about 10:30-11 pm with plans to resume the search in the morning.
The search for Libby & Abby picked back up first thing on Tuesday morning.Two searchers, Patrick Brown & Jake Johns, parked at Riley Park at 8:30 am & reached the bridge about four hours later. As they walked along Deer Creek, a flash of color within the branches on the bank of the river caught Jake’s attention.
Jake called out what he’d seen to Patrick who went to investigate & stumbled upon Abby & Libby’s bodies at 12:17 pm on a private property in the woods Northeast of the Monon High Bridge on the other side of the creek. The wooded area was only 0.2 miles northeast of the bridge where they had been walking.
Indiana State Police crime scene investigators arrived after 1 pm where they remained until 11 pm that night. Another deputy who was helping with the search found a tennis shoe floating down the creek by a nearby cemetery.
Libby’s body was found at the base of a tree with four tree branches of various sizes placed in an intentional manner around her fully naked body. A large branch over her upper body, likely an attempt at concealment. Her body was covered in spots of blood & her phone in its Harry Potter themed case, was located under her body.
Meanwhile, Abby’s body was fully clothed, wearing two bras, a tank top, Libby’s black hooded Delphi swimming sweatshirt & jeans. Both the clothing she wore as well as her hands were free of blood.
Abby’s clothing & Libby’s tie-dye t-shirt were found inside out, in the creek. This told investigators that Abby had likely been naked at the time she was murdered & then re-dressed in Libby’s clothing after. Like Libby, tree branches had also been arranged around Abby’s body.
Some articles of clothing from their bodies were missing from the scene that included a pair of underwear & a sock which suggested that the killer had taken these items as a souvenir.
The following day their bodies were sent to Terre Haute for autopsies. For years, police refused to reveal how the girls died, but in June 2023, court documents were released that revealed new details in the case for the first time.
Their autopsies proved that both Libby & Abby had died from wounds caused by a sharp object, likely a knife, & their deaths were ruled homicide. A gun was also believed to have been used during the crime after a .40 caliber unspent bullet with extraction markings was located less than two feet away from Libby’s body, situated between both girls. The teen best friends had each suffered from slash wounds to their necks.
Neither girl had overt injuries that indicated a sexual assault & there was no blunt force trauma or defensive wounds. There was a reddish mark near the bottom of Abby’s lip that suggested that something had been placed on her face, such as duct tape or a cloth, but there was no glue residue left behind so it’s truly unclear what made the mark. Abby suffered a single 2 inch mortal wound to the left side of her neck that hit a jugular vein & would have caused her to bleed to death within five to ten minutes.
Libby had as many as five overlapping wounds to her neck & two of the cuts, one to each side of her neck, were lethal & cut her carotid artery which would have accelerated her death. Because both girls lost a considerable amount of blood when they died, their killer would have likely had a substantial amount of blood on their clothing & hands.
Some of the wounds were serrated which suggested that multiple weapons had been used although the medical examiner later indicated that the wounds could have been caused by something like a box cutter & admitted that he was unsure how many weapons had been used.
Libby was likely fatally wounded before her body was dragged 20 or so feet to her final resting place. Based on blood that was found on the bark of a tree, she had likely been slashed near or against the tree. A heartbreaking detail based on blood found on her hands, indicated that she may have grabbed her throat to control the bleeding. Blood found on her foot was consistent with her walking through her blood which meant that Libby had been standing upright which was consistent with blood stains seen on her torso. Blood flow on her thighs reveals she was in a seated position at another point.
As investigators analyzed Libby’s iPhone 6S, they were able to establish a timeline sequence of events that told them what Libby or the phone user had been doing & what the phone was doing behind the scenes. Both Abby & Libby had utilized Libby’s phone during their time on the trail.
Between 1:41 & 1:44 pm Libby posted photos of herself & Abby on Snapchat & according to analysis of her phone, they reached the Monon High Bridge at 2:05 pm.
The phone was last unlocked at 2:13 pm when Libby recorded a 43 second video of Abby after she made it to the other end of the abandoned railroad bridge before her friend. The video depicted Abby crossing the bridge & in the background, a man could be seen following. The man, who wore blue jeans, a navy blue coat & a brown winter hat later came to be known as Bridge Guy.
As Abby crossed the bridge & passed Libby, the phone was turned sideways & pointed down at the ground. Libby could be heard saying There’s no path, the trail ends here, we have to go down there. The video showed a gravel trail & after the audio was enhanced by experts, the man could be heard saying, Guys & Abby said, Hi. The man responded, Down the hill.
The Apple health app on Libby’s phone recorded her last movements at 2:32 pm, just about twenty minutes after Libby unlocked her phone & began recording the video that depicted Bridge Guy walking in the background.
Libby’s grandmother, Becky Patty, texted Libby at 4:06 pm, You need to call me now!!! After that time, Libby’s phone didn’t receive further SMS messages until the next morning, but the phone did receive iMessages. At 4:33 am, messages came pouring through with about 15 SMS messages which indicates her phone connected to local cell towers at this time.
The phone never moved after 2:32 pm, but a digital forensics expert later testified that a headphone or auxiliary cable was plugged into Libby’s phone at 5:45 pm & the cable was removed at 10:32 pm although it’s possible that it was water or dirt that had gotten into the port.
Images of the man that came to be known as Bridge Guy were released to the public on Wednesday, February 15, one day after the girls’ bodies were located. Investigators believed that this man was responsible for Abby & Libby’s murders.
One week later, on February 22, the Indiana State Police released the audio recording of the male voice heard in Libby’s video saying, Down the hill. Based on the area where the girls were located, investigators suspected that the man was likely local & familiar with the area.
Four witnesses who had also been on the trail that day came forward; each had seen Abby & Libby as well as Bridge Guy. 16-year-old Railly Voorhies knew of Libby & Abby, but wasn’t close friends with the girls. She decided to go to the bridge that day since the weather was so beautiful. She walked from her dad’s house with her half-sister, picked up her friend, Bre Wilber & then got her sister from her mom’s house on the way to the trail. The four girls went to the bridge, took photos & headed back home.
As they began to make their way home, Railly noticed Bridge Guy walking on the trail & remembers him clearly since she felt he was overdressed for the unseasonably warm weather. He wore a heavy coat, a hooded sweatshirt & a hat while his hands were in his pocket as he walked.
As the girls came upon the man, they said hello to him, but he only glared back & in their opinion, seemed to be an unhappy person. When Railly realized that Abby & Libby were missing, she thought it could have something to do with this man so she gave her statement to police on February 15, the day after the girl’s bodies were found. When police released the photo of Bridge Guy from Libby’s video, she realized that this was the man who ignored her greeting that day.
Railly initially told police that she saw the man on the trail at 2:15 pm in the wooded area near the Freedom Bridge which didn’t line up with the timeline as Libby recorded her video at 2:13 pm & the locations were about 0.7 miles apart.
However, Bre Wilber, who was out on the trail with Railly was able to shed more light on the actual timeline. Bre was friends with Libby’s sister, Kelsi & she was also friends with Libby on Snapchat. While she & her friends were walking back home from the Monon High Bridge, Libby messaged Bre on Snapchat in response to a photo she posted of herself by the bridge. Libby asked Bre if she was still at the bridge, but Bre responded that she’d left ten minutes earlier.
Bre saved a photo with a timestamp that she took with her friends at 1:26 pm which was close to the time they passed the man they were sure was Bridge Guy. When they passed him, Bre noticed that he was walking with a purpose as if he knew where he was going. After he ignored Railly’s greeting of hello, Bre felt weird vibes from the man.
Bre was with Kelsi later that day when Kelsi’s grandma called her to tell her that Abby & Libby were missing. She spoke with police that night about the man she saw out on the trail who wore a blue or black jacket & walked with his head down.
A woman named Betsy Blair was also out on the trails that day. During her third loop on the trail, she saw a man on the Monon High Bridge, standing on a platform on the right side of the bridge & on her way back from the Freedom Bridge, she passed Abby & Libby. Later that day when she realized that two girls were missing from the trails, she called the sheriff’s department & told them she had seen the girls as well as a man on the bridge. When photos of Libby & Abby were posted, she confirmed that these matched the girls she’d seen on the trail & when she saw a photo of Bridge Guy on the news, it also matched the man she’d seen. Data from her Fitbit indicated that she’d seen the man around 1:30 or 2 pm.
A man named Richard Allen also came forward on Thursday, February 16, 2017, three days after the girls were murdered & told investigators that he had been out on the trail on the day on the Monday they disappeared between 1:30-3:30 pm. He said that he passed three girls as he walked to the Monon High Bridge.
When investigators spoke with a local woman named Sarah Carbaugh, she indicated that she walked the trail daily with her dogs. She had been out on the trail that Monday, February 13, 2017 & when she was driving down County Road 300 North near the cemetery at 4 pm, she saw Bridge Guy about three feet away from her car. He was walking in a hunched manner with his hands in his pockets & when she looked at him, he didn’t make eye contact with her. She noticed that his clothing was muddy & there was visible blood on his lower legs, feet & ankles. The rest of his body was muddy as if he’d fallen down a hill or into a muddy creek.
After the police released the photo of Bridge Guy, Sarah saw his image on the news & realized that this was the man she’d seen. She waited three weeks to contact police & blamed her delay on trauma, panic & the fact that she was overthinking & having a moment. When she noticed an officer taking tips at a roadblock, she realized that this was her chance to reveal what she’d seen.
Despite the fact that police had solid video evidence of a man whom they believed was responsible for Libby & Abby’s murders as well as the fact that they suspected he was local, on top of the multiple witness accounts, years ended up going by with no arrests.
In May 2017, an inmate named Ricci Davis, came forward to tell authorities that while behind bars, a fellow inmate named Ron Logan, confessed to killing Libby & Abby. Logan just so happened to own the property where their bodies were found. He made the confession while he was serving his sentence at the New Castle Correctional Facility for a probation violation. In June 2017, Davis wrote & signed a statement that read:
Mr. Logan has made reference to the killings in Delphi, IN. He told me he was the one who had killed those girls, that it got out of hand. He walked with them in the woods to his property & the girls wanted to turn back. Said something about walking the –, he grabbed the youngest girl to reassure her it was ok, however they panicked & he also panicked. He indicated he ended up cutting the oldest with a box cutter. He went on telling me that he killed both of them because it was too far.
Davis went on to say that Logan also said that when searchers were out looking for the girls, Logan returned to the scene of the crime to move Libby’s body to an area it wouldn’t be found. He burned the clothing he wore that day in a fire pit. When Logan allegedly confessed to Davis, the fact that the girls’ throats had been slashed had not yet been released to the public. Logan’s home was ultimately searched in March 2017, before Ricci Davis came forward, but it’s unclear if anything was found that linked him to the murders.
Ron Logan was never charged in connection with Libby & Abby’s murders & he died from COVID in January 2022.
Moving forward to September 21, 2022, more than five years after Abby & Libby had been murdered, Kathy Shank, a retired government employee, was volunteering as a clerk to help with the investigation when she found a box of tip sheets in a desk drawer. She came across a lead sheet of the man’s statement, who came forward on February 16, 2017 to self-report that he had been on the trail on the day the girls were murdered, Richard Allen.
Kathy read the details of Allen’s interview from February 16, 2017 & noted that he indicated he had been on the trail that day between 1:30-3:30 pm. He also reported passing three girls who were also out on the trail that day. Kathy remembered that these three girls passed a man who they referred to as creepy & also matched the description of Bridge Guy.
Because Richard Allen placed himself at the scene of the crime during the timeline of the murders, Kathy took the report to the then chief deputy at the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, Tony Liggett. After he read through Allen’s statement, the tip stuck out to Liggett because he was not aware that anyone had seen the three girls on the trails back in 2017.
With this, focus was placed on Richard Allen. Liggett later admitted that Allen had not been a suspect earlier since he got lost in the cracks as the tip sheet had been misfiled & incorrectly labeled.
Investigators interviewed Allen on October 13, 2022, the first time they’d spoken with him in five years since their initial interview after the girls’ murders in 2017. Once again, he indicated that he’d seen three girls while he was out on the trail that day & confirmed that he went to the Monon High Bridge where Abby & Libby had been walking. He confirmed that he was wearing blue jeans & a blue or black Carhartt jacket with a hood as well as a head covering & that he physically walked on the bridge that day.
According to Allen, other than the three girls that he passed, he hadn’t come across another soul. When he made his way to the Monon High Bridge he watched the fish, he walked onto the first platform, walked back, sat on a bench on the trail & then left.
Now in 2022, Allen reported that he was on the bridge at about noon & left the area at 1:30 pm which was in direct contrast with what he told investigators days after Libby & Abby were murdered in 2017. In 2017, he reported that he’d been on the trails between 1:30-3:30 pm. His updated timeline of events would mean that he wasn’t on the trail at the time the girls were murdered, somewhere within 2:13-2:32 pm.
Investigators also spoke with Allen’s wife, Kathy Allen, who confirmed that her husband kept both guns & knives at their home. She also confirmed that he still owned the blue Carhartt jacket in question.
Investigators believe that Richard Allen was Bridge Guy, the last person who had contact with Abby & Libby before they were viciously murdered. With this information, investigators were able to search Allen’s property at 1967 North Whiteman Drive in Delphi.
Search of his home located jackets, boots, knives & firearms. The Indiana State Police Lab analyzed his Sig Sauer Model P226 & determined that the unspent bullet found between Abby & Libby’s body had been cycled through this very gun.
When Allen spoke with investigators on October 26, 2022, he indicated that he’d purchased the gun in 2001 & never allowed anyone else to use or borrow it. He had no explanation as to why the bullet had been found by the victim’s bodies as he said he had never been on that particular piece of property. He claimed that he didn’t know the girls & had nothing to do with their murders.
The video from Libby’s phone showed that the girls had come upon Allen that day on the southeast portion of the Monon High Bridge at 2:13 pm. He ordered the girls, Guys, down the hill & they were never seen alive again. There was no further outgoing communications from Libby’s phone. As Allen approached the girls, he mentioned the word gun & the girls began to proceed down the hill & the video ended.
No witnesses saw Allen on the trail after 2:13 pm because at that point in time it’s believed he was in the woods attacking & murdering Abby & Libby. Investigators believe that after he killed the two young girls he went back to his car by walking down CR 300 North where Sarah Carbaugh described seeing him covered in mud & blood at 4 pm.
Allen was booked on October 26, 2022 in connection with the murders & he was moved to a state facility for his safety. Prior to his arrest, his name had never been publicly linked to the case. At the time of the murders he would have been 44-years-old & he lived with his wife Kathy in a home that was less than a five minute drive from the trail where the girl’s bodies were found. Records indicate he had been living in the house since at least 2006 & had lived in Indiana his entire life. He & Kathy shared an adult daughter.
Allen was officially charged with the kidnapping & murders of Abby & Libby on October 28, 2022. His arrest came after investigators reviewed thousands of leads over the course of nearly six years. Multiple composite sketches had been released of the suspect based on eyewitness accounts in addition to the video of the man walking on the bridge that was recorded from Libby’s phone that additionally captured the audio of the man instructing the girls to go down the hill.
Allen pleaded not guilty & was held at the White County Jail without bond.
Allen was trained as a pharmacy technician & had last updated his pharmaceutical license in February 2018, one year after the murders. At the time of his arrest, he was working at a local CVS store & his face was a familiar one since it was the only pharmacy in town. Many people viewed him as nice & helpful & would have never suspected him capable of violence.
After Allen’s arrest, Libby’s grandparents recalled a time when he processed their photos for them after their granddaughter’s murder. Their order contained photos of Libby & Abby & when they came to pick the photos up, he didn’t charge them.
After his arrest, a chilling photo came to light that Kathy had posted to Facebook in December 2021. The photo depicted herself alongside her husband at a local Delphi bar & in the background, a 2019 police sketch could be seen of the murder suspect. Looking more closely at the photo, some felt that Allen looked similar to the drawing.
Kathy posted this photo to social media during the same month that investigators made a fresh appeal, urging the public to come forward with information about an online catfishing account that was believed to be tied to the murders.
The trial began two years after his arrest on October 18, 2024 after many delays. This included Allen’s attorneys dramatically quitting the case in October 2023 due to scandal over a leak of graphic crime scene photos. The images circulated online & originated from a man who was close friends with one of Allen’s attorneys who previously worked at the law firm. After an investigation began in regards to the leak, the man died by suicide. Allen was then assigned public defenders by the court before they filed a motion to remove themselves from the case after a short time & his original attorneys were later reinstated.
Jury members were pulled from Allen County since it was a very high profile case while the trial itself was held at the Carroll County Courthouse. No photography was allowed inside.
Indiana State Police Detective Brian Harshman testified that Allen had confessed to the murders more than 60 times since his arrest, mostly in recorded jailhouse phone calls when speaking with his wife or mother during his time at the Westville Correctional Facility. During his confessions, he spoke very specifically & gave details of the crime as well as his alleged motives. During a conversation with his wife on April 3, 2023, he mentioned to Kathy several times that he killed Abby & Libby until she abruptly ended the phone call.
A fellow inmate of Allen’s also came forward to claim that Allen had not only confessed to the murders but specified that he’d used a box cutter to kill the girls which he later disposed of in a dumpster outside the CVS where he worked.
According to Monica Wala, the former lead psychologist at Westville Correctional Facility, Allen initially proclaimed innocence, but began confessing to the crimes in April 2023, just about the time he was placed back on suicide watch for the second time. He told Wala, I killed Abby & Libby. I’m sorry. According to Allen, he abducted Libby & Abby on the south side of the Monon High Bridge & threatening the girls with his gun, he forced them down the hill to the south side of Deer Creek. He indicated that his motive was sexual in nature & it was his full intention to sexually assault the girls. However, when he saw a van, he forced the girls across Deer Creek from south to north. Once across the creek, he slashed the girl’s throats & covered their bodies with sticks.
Investigators learned that a man named Brad Weber, who owned the property on the south side of the creek, came home from work that day in his white cargo van right around 2:30 pm which is what would have interrupted Allen’s plans of sexual assault. However, the defense argued that according to surveillance video, Weber’s van didn’t arrive until after 2:44 pm which was twelve minutes after Libby’s phone stopped moving at 2:32 pm. Additionally, an FBI report indicated that Weber’s phone first pinged at the property at 2:50 pm.
Despite his confessions, there was very little physical evidence that tied him to the case as his DNA was not found at the crime scene & neither Libby or Abby’s DNA was found on items recovered from his home. The prosecution drew attention to the .40-caliber unspent round by the girls’ bodies that matched Allen’s pistol. There was also no digital forensic evidence that linked him to the crime.
His attorney’s argued that his confessions were the result of his poor mental health after he’d been treated as a prisoner of war at the state prison while awaiting trial. They claimed that he was delirious & psychotic from months of being in solitary confinement.
Neuropsychologist Dr. Polly Wescott took the stand & indicated that her assessment of Allen revealed that he is a fragile egg who struggled to cope with anxiety from a young age & she believed he has both major depressive disorder with psychosis & dependent personality disorder. According to Wescott, those with dependent personality disorder have issues functioning on their own. From her discussions with Allen’s wife Kathy, Wescott learned that when stressors at life & work got too much, Allen would curl into a ball & cry while Kathy helped him recover.
There were mentions of instances of Allen acting strangely during his time in prison. In one case, he was wetting paperwork from his attorneys & eating it, at times he refused to eat or sleep for days, he banged his head on the wall & even consumed his own feces.
Deanna Dwenger, a clinical psychologist, testified on the behalf of the defense & indicated that Allen was diagnosed with a serious mental illness in April 2023 & a team of mental health professionals concluded that he had a grave disability.
Allen’s attorneys previously suggested that the girls were killed as part of a pagan ritual sacrifice & accused police of ignoring evidence from the crime scene as in March 2017, an FBI agent claimed that the girls’ bodies appeared to be moved & staged when they were found. The branches arranged around their bodies were said to be in the shape of pagan symbols. They accused investigators of finding multiple ritualistic symbols, possible Odinism signatures at the crime scene, including the way that Libby’s body had been positioned.
Odinism is a pagan Norse religion with origins in ancient Viking & Nordic beliefs & pre-Christian European culture. Many of the followers are now said to exist among the white supremacist prison population. Allen has no known connection to any pagan cult & the judge repeatedly rejected motions to introduce this theory.
Closing arguments were delivered on November 7, 2024, seven years, eight months & 25 days after the girls’ bodies were discovered & the jury, which consisted of seven women & five men, began their deliberations.
After nineteen hours of deliberations, the jury delivered their verdict on November 11, 2024 & found 52-year-old Richard Allen guilty on all counts as he sat wide-eyed, holding his Bible.
On December 20, 2024, Allen was sentenced to 130 years in prison, 65 years for each death. The 760 days he served since his arrest will count towards his sentence.
Libby & Abby were two lovely & innocent teenage girls who’d gone out for a walk on an unusually warm winter day to take photos & enjoy nature & sadly lost their lives to a brutal monster who just happened to be lurking along the trail that day.
