"New Delphi Court Documents: Richard Allen's Alleged Confession and Knife Used in Murders Revealed"

Richard Matthew Allen, an Indiana man charged with the 2017 murders of two teenage girls in Delphi, confessed multiple times to the killings in a phone call to his wife while in prison, according to court documents. Allen allegedly admitted to killing Abigail Williams and Liberty German during the call, which was transcribed by investigators. The bodies of the two girls were found in a wooded area near their hometown. The documents, previously under seal, were released after a judge allowed public access to over 100 filings in the case. Allen's defense attorneys claim his admissions were a result of his declining mental state and the stressful environment of the correctional facility.
