The man accused of murdering two teenage best friends in 2017 allegedly “confessed five or six times,” the prosecution said in court on Thursday.
Richard Allen, 50, is accused of killing best friends Abby Williams, 13, and Libby German, 14, while they were hiking through the Delphi Historical Trails in Indiana on February 13, 2017. Prosecutor Nick McLeland stated in court that Allen “made multiple confessions to multiple people,” Fox 59 reported.
His defense attorney, Bradley Rozzi, acknowledged that Allen had made “incriminating statements,” but said those statements couldn’t be trusted due to his client’s deteriorating mental health.
