Bombshell footage has been released for the first time revealing the moment that the Delphi killer’s wife realized he had lied about his whereabouts on the day that he slaughtered two teenage girls.

In the video, captured during a break in his police interview on October 26, 2022, Richard Allen is seen admitting to his wife Kathy Allen that he was on the Monon High Bridge in Delphi, Indiana, on February 13, 2017 – when Abby Williams and Libby German were brutally killed.

Footage of Allen’s police interviews were presented at his high-profile trial in October but had never before been made public. They have now been obtained by the YouTube account ‘Crime Circus’ and shared online.

‘But were you on the bridge?’ Kathy asks. 

Allen replies: ‘I told them I was on the bridge. I went out to the first trestle.’

A sobbing Kathy appears taken aback by her husband’s admission – and confronts him about changing his story. 

‘Oh okay. I don’t remember you telling me that,’ she says.

When she tells him that she told police he wasn’t on the bridge, he tells her: ‘Hun, you’re not in any trouble.’

Kathy, who shares an adult daughter with the convicted killer, breaks down into sobs with her voice inaudible through the crying. 

She then says: ‘I didn’t know you were on it. I’m sorry.

‘You told me you weren’t…’ she tells him.

Allen appears to briefly loose his cool and denies that he has changed his story about where he was at the time of the murders.

‘No I told you that I walked-‘ he says, before abruptly stopping himself from saying anymore.

He looks away and pauses.

Allen then tells his wife he loves her and leans in and kisses her. 

Allen, a local CVS worker, was convicted in November and sentenced to a lifetime behind bars for the brutal murders of the teenage best friends. 

Abby, 13, and Libby, 14, disappeared back on February 13 2017 after setting off on a walk along the Monon High Bridge.

Their bodies were found around half a mile from the trail, close to Deer Creek, the next day. 

Both of their throats had been slashed, with the murder weapon believed to be a box cutter. Libby was naked while Abby was fully dressed in some of Libby’s clothes and an unspent bullet was found between their bodies.  

Before they were killed, Libby managed to capture a video on her cellphone of a man dressed in blue jeans, a blue Carharrt jacket and a cap following them over the bridge. 

Her cellphone was found under Abby’s body, leading cops to recover the footage of that became critical evidence in the case.

During the years-long hunt for the killer, a small clip of the grainy footage was released to the public, along with the audio of the man known as ‘Bridge Guy’ ordering them: ‘Guys… down the hill.’

Days after the February 2017 murders, Allen had admitted to authorities that he was on the trail that day.

But that information was lost for more than five years due to a clerical error, before investigators came across the tip and first questioned by police on October 13, 2022.

Police then searched the home he shared with Kathy and uncovered a ‘Bridge Guy starter kit’ including blue jeans and a Carhartt jacket matching the outfit worn by ‘Bridge Guy.’

Investigators also found a Sig Sauer Model P226 pistol which Allen said only he had access to. 

Ballistics experts matched the gun to a bullet found between the two victims’ bodies at the crime scene. 

After finding that evidence, Allen was questioned by police a second time two weeks later on October 26, 2022.

It was during this second interview that Allen’s wife Kathy was allowed to enter the room to speak to her husband while investigators were out of the room.

When Kathy first enters the room, the couple hug and Allen reassures her ‘it’s going to be alright.’  

Allen quickly tells Kathy that he has been told she thinks he killed Abby and Libby.

‘They’re trying to tell me that you actually believe I did that – and I just can’t believe that,’ he says.

His wife of decades is stunningly silent for several moments – neither reassuring him nor confirming her beliefs. 

Through tears, she then whimpers that she is trying to understand how a bullet from his gun could be at the crime scene. 

Allen repeatedly claims to his wife that he also cannot explain that piece of key evidence.

Multiple times, he tells her ‘I know you know I didn’t do this.’

‘You know me. You know this isn’t something I could do. And I know that you know that,’ he says.

‘You don’t have to tell me that. I know.’

While behind bars awaiting trial, Allen confessed to murdering the girls a staggering 61 times including in jailhouse phone calls to his wife and mom.

In one damning confession presented at trial, Allen revealed information that only the killer could have known. 

He said he had planned to take the girls into the woods to rape them but was startled by a white van driving past and so quickly killed them, jurors heard.

The man in the white van testified that he drove home from work at around 2.30pm that afternoon, to his property close to Deer Creek. 

This matched the time that Libby’s cellphone last recorded movement – and came just minutes after the ‘Bridge Guy’ video was recorded – and so this is believed to be the time when the girls were killed.

Despite his series of confessions – which were also released for the first time – Allen pleaded not guilty and Kathy stood by her husband during his murder trial.

When the guilty verdict was handed down, she defiantly told a reporter on leaving the courthouse: ‘This isn’t over at all.’

During his trial, Allen’s defense team claimed his damning confessions while he was suffering a mental health crisis due to the ‘prisoner of war’ treatment he was enduring inside the state penitentiary. 

Allen’s attorneys had also claimed Libby and Abby were actually murdered as part of a ‘ritualistic sacrifice’ by a local white nationalist cult called Odinists – even publicly naming four individuals as the killers in bombshell court documents. 

Those four men have never been named as suspects or persons of interest and have never charged in connection to the case.

As part of the shocking theory, Allen’s defense pointed to sticks found on the victims’ bodies, claiming they were arranged specifically into Pagan symbols. 

Jurors did not hear this theory at trial, as the judge blocked the defense from introducing the Odinism theory or from introducing any other alternative suspects.

In another twist in the case, Allen’s defense was briefly struck off the case – and then reinstated before trial – following the leak of graphic crime scene photos.

Allen was convicted and sentenced to 130 years in prison.

In the trial’s closing arguments, prosecutor Nick McLeland called Abby and Libby ‘heroes’ for capturing the damning video that ultimately captured their killer. 

‘They’re more than victims, they’re heroes. Libby for making the video. Abby for hiding the phone and both of them for camouflaging the bullet,’ he said.

Abby’s mom Anna Williams spoke to DailyMail.com in February on what marked the first anniversary of the murders since their killer was brought to justice and said the girls’ bravery is the one thing she is grateful for about that devastating day.

‘I was always very grateful that the girls stayed together,’ she said. 

‘And whether or not things turned out the way we would have hoped, resolutions came about because of how they were that day and how they stayed together.

‘Both of their actions helped us get to solving their crime.’ 

Since his trial, Allen’s attorneys continue to file a string of legal objections and have appealed his conviction.
