SIX years after the Delphi murders, justice has yet to be served for teens Liberty German and Abigail Williams.

Libby, 14, and Abby, 13, were found dead on February 14, 2017, along a railroad track at the Delphi Historic Trails in Indiana.

Their murders remained a mystery until October 2022, when suspect Richard Allen was arrested.

The bombshell was the first big development in years in the 2017 cold case.

Despite pleading not guilty to the murders, Allen allegedly confessed to his wife Kathy Allen in a jailhouse phone call after his arrest.

The April 3 phone call was transcribed by investigators.

“He admits several times within the phone call that he committed the offenses as charged. His wife, Kathy Allen, ends the phone call abruptly,” court documents said.

The case hit another snag a year later, in October, when Allen’s attorneys were pulled off the case.

As his new lawyers start building their case, there are still many unanswered questions surrounding the murders.

GRUESOME TROPHY

Investigators said the girls’ bodies were “posed” and that the suspect took trophies from each victim to keep as a souvenir.

However, these items were never disclosed to the public.

It was alleged that the crime scene appeared to be “ritualistic” in nature, according to a shocking filing by Allen’s defense team.

The eighth graders were found stabbed to death, with the defense arguing that they had been sacrificed by an Odinist cult and that runes and other symbols had been left behind at the crime scene.

These allegedly included sticks placed over Abby and Libby’s bodies at the crime scene to form Germanic letters associated with Odinism, a letter painted on a tree with Libby’s blood, and faux antlers created with sticks and branches placed above Abby’s head, the attorneys said in court filings.

Prosecutors have sought to pour cold water on the claims, calling the defense’s allegations “unfounded” and supported by “absolutely no proof,” according to court filings.

CAUSE OF DEATH

For years, the public was left in the dark about how the girls were killed.

It wasn’t until June 2023 that case documents were unsealed by Allen County Judge Frances C. Gull.

“Autopsies of the girls ruled their deaths as homicides and their wounds were caused by a sharp object,” the documents said.

“They also determined that articles of clothing from the girls were missing from the scene, including a pair of underwear and a sock,” the documents continued.

However, it still hasn’t been made public what was used to kill the tragic teens.

It was revealed in court documents that Libby’s iPhone was found under her body.

That phone contained a 43-second video that helped investigators piece the case together.

A man is heard telling the girls to go “down the hill” in the haunting clip.

The documents also said that three girls were on the Delphi Monon High Bridge trail the day that Libby and Abby disappeared and that they observed a man in the area.

The girls’ description of the man they saw on the trails reportedly matched that of the male captured in Libby’s iPhone video.

One of the girls described the man as “kinda creepy,” according to the documents.

SINISTER CATFISH

Kegan Kline is an accused online predator who allegedly used a catfish social media account to communicate with Libby before her death.

He even once claimed to have had plans to meet with her where she was killed on the same day she was murdered, according to police documents.

He entered a guilty plea in late March to 25 unrelated felony charges, including child solicitation and exploitation, possession of child pornography, and obstruction of justice.

Kline was sentenced to 40 years in prison and faces three years of probation when he’s released.

He denied any involvement in the girls’ murders and knowing Allen.

However, Kline revealed that he “tried speaking” with investigators about the Delphi murders but that they “don’t want to hear anything” he has to say about the case.

What he knew about the murders and why he was so interested in talking with police remains a mystery.

WHAT LED TO ALLEN’S ARREST

Another unanswered question in the case is how cops finally were able to track down a suspect.

Allen is a married father and was a pharmacy technician at a local CVS store in the heart of the town.

Investigators have released little information about the evidence that led to his arrest except to say that a bullet found near the victims’ bodies cycled through the suspect’s gun.

Police have said that he failed to explain why a bullet from his gun was at the crime scene.

Allen told the cops that he never allowed anyone to use or borrow his firearm.

OTHER SUSPECTS?

One big lingering mystery in the case is whether anyone else was involved with or had knowledge about the Delphi murders.

Prosecutors said in late November after Allen’s arrest that there may be another suspect involved in the killings.

At the November hearing, Carroll County Prosecutor Nicholas McLeland argued against unsealing case documents, claiming it would jeopardize the multi-year investigation.

“We have good reason to believe that Allen was not alone. That there could be other actors,” McLeland said in court.

McLeland also argued that if an unredacted affidavit was released, witnesses in the investigation could be harassed.

After the hearing, Allen’s attorney said that the revelation of a potential “second suspect” involved in the murders was “news to them.”

“If you read the probable cause affidavit, it does not mention anything about any other person,” attorney Andrew Baldwin said, adding: “That was news to us.”

The judge in Allen’s murder case has pushed his trial date back to October 2024.

It was originally slated to begin in January but his new attorneys said it would be “impossible” to present a defense after just being assigned to the case.

The attorneys that initially represented Allen were pulled off the case after graphic photos pertaining to the murders were leaked online.

It’s believed that someone got access to one of the lawyer’s offices where evidence was held.

Allen’s trial is now set to take place between October 15 and November 1, 2024.
