A judge has ruled that multiple confessions made by Richard Allen regarding the 2017 murders of Abby Williams and Libby German can be used as evidence in his upcoming trial. Allen reportedly admitted guilt up to 61 times while at the Westville Correctional Facility, with the judge stating that these confessions were unsolicited and voluntary. The trial, initially set for May, has been postponed to October 14 through November 15. Allen, who has pleaded not guilty and faces additional murder charges, was arrested in October 2022 and had lived in the Delphi area, which has been deeply affected by the unsolved case. Additionally, a gag order remains in place to restrict public commentary from involved parties. The case continues to draw national attention as it unfolds.
