He also had reportedly posed for a smiling selfie in front of a police sketch of the suspect in the murders.<\/p>\n<p>Allen has been charged with two counts of felony murder.<\/p>\n<p>On February 13, 2017, 13-year-old Libby German and her best friend Abby Williams went for a walk along the Monon High Bridge in Delphi,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/indiana\">Indiana<\/a>. The next day, their bodies were found in a creek about a mile away.<\/p>\n<p>After their bodies were found, police pulled evidence from Libby\u2019s phone, which included photos of a potential suspect, as well as an audio recording of a man saying \u201cdown the hill.\u201d Police released two sketches of potential suspects, as well as a short audio clip. The Murder Sheet Podcast was also able to obtain court documents this summer that showed an FBI agent sought a search warrant for the property where the girls\u2019 bodies were found, a property owned by Ron Logan.<\/p>\n<p>The search warrant revealed that the audio recording containing the \u201cdown the hill\u201d clip was actually 43 seconds but wasn\u2019t fully released to the public. In addition, investigators reportedly found a large amount of blood where the girls\u2019 bodies were found and believed the perpetrator must have gotten blood on their hands or clothing. Police also suggested that the perpetrator may have taken a \u201csouvenir\u201d from the girls and \u201cmoved and staged\u201d their bodies.<\/p>\n<p>The warrant also suggested Logan fit the physical description of the man seen in photos on Libby\u2019s phone and that he had lied about his alibi. Logan has never been charged with a crime relating to the murders and has never been named a suspect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Police on Monday formally announced the arrest of Richard Allen, 50, for the 2017 murders of two Delphi, Indiana, teenagers.
