On tonight’s episode of Crime Stories with Nancy Grace, the spotlight turns to the Delphi Murder trial, revisiting the gruesome killings of two teenage girls, Abigail “Abby” Williams and Liberty “Libby” German, in 2017. The show looks into the disturbing details of their abduction and murder while hiking near Delphi, Indiana.
The case centers on Richard Allen, 52, who stands accused of committing these heinous crimes alone. A crucial piece of evidence is a cellphone video recorded by Libby, which captures a man approaching them on the bridge and giving ominous instructions to descend “down the hill.”
Allen’s trial, which commenced in 2022, includes charges of two counts of murder and two counts of murder while engaging in the kidnapping. The legal proceedings have captured national attention and taken unexpected twists and turns, marked by evidence leaks and changes in Allen’s legal representation.
As the trial progresses, Allen faces the possibility of a lengthy prison sentence, with up to 130 years behind bars if found guilty.
Crime Stories with Nancy Grace: The Delphi Murders Trial airs tonight, October 21st, at 6/5 PM CT, on MeritTV.
