Today is not a day to celebrate, but the arrest of Richard M. Allen of Delphi on two counts of murder
is sure a major step and leading to the conclusion of this long-term and complex investigation.
In that phone call, Richard M. Allen admits several times that he killed Abby and Libby.
Talking on the phone and just saying, I was shocked.
It's not made.
you're not going to make me believe it's me.
You're not going to find anything that ties me to those murders.
So I'm not really that concern.
You know, you went from trying to, I don't know what you want to say,
get my trust and then slowly lure me into telling you I killed somebody and I'm not going to do it.
Of all of the cases that we've covered, there are very few that are more publicized,
more controversial, or more heartbreaking than the case we're talking about today.
and it is the case of the brutal murders of Abby Williams and Libby German.
Abby and Libby, they were best friends, and they were only 13 and 14 years old when their lives were viciously taken from them.
Taken from them when they were out on what should have just been a normal happy walk along the trails in Delphi, Indiana.
And one of the most shocking things about this case is how long it took for an arrest to even happen, despite massive searches and despite intense public attention,
I mean, it took five years before anybody was arrested.
Five years.
I mean, that is a lot of time for rumors to spread, for people to start questioning the investigation,
and also for some extremely sketchy characters to just like crawl out of the woodwork.
Now, the last time that we covered this case, it was back in 2023 when a suspect was finally arrested.
But since then, this case has literally exploded.
There has not only been a huge trial, but a huge country.
or, you know, world divided. Because yes, many people believe that justice has finally been served
for Abby and Libby, but others are convinced that the police, they got the wrong guy. And in the
meantime, there's also been leaked photos, crazy jail calls, recorded confessions, rumors about
cults, alleged setups. I mean, it has been absolute chaos. Also, when I was out on my live
tour last fall, one of the most highly requested cases that I reopen and re-examine is this case,
the Delphi murders. Just because I think how controversial it is and how so many people do believe
that they got it all wrong, that Richard Allen isn't the guy, that it's somebody else entirely.
So today, we are reopening this case and we are breaking down everything, the suspect, the confessions,
the trial, also the evidence on both sides of the argument. This case is incredible.
complex and incredibly controversial. So my goal today isn't to tell you to believe one thing over
the other, but rather it's to break down all of the facts and really walk you through the
arguments on both sides and determine what you think is true. Hey, true crime besties, that was a
sneak peek of an all-new episode that is out right now over on my second podcast, 10 to Life. It's
