The Indiana State Police released the following information the Delphi Double Homicide:

After an extensive investigation, the Delphi Double Homicide Task Force made an arrest for the murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German.

On Feb. 13, 2017, Williams and German were tragically murdered while visiting the Monon High Bridge in Delphi. Shortly after, the Indiana State Police and Carroll County Sheriff’s office created the task force, which encompassed federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. This task force has worked diligently the last five-and-a-half years to ensure this horrendous crime did not go unsolved.

On Wednesday, detectives with the Delphi Double Homicide Task Force took Richard Allen, 50, from Delphi, Indiana, into custody at the Indiana State Police Lafayette Post for the murders of Williams and German. Allen was transported to Carroll County Jail, where he was being held.

On Friday, Allen was formally charged with two counts of murder and transported to the White County Jail, where he is currently being held without bond.

The task force thanked everyone who was involved throughout the investigation, which included the Indiana State Police, Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, Delphi Police Department, Carroll County Prosecutor’s office, United States Marshals Service, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and numerous other federal and local agencies. These agencies have invested countless hours and resources into this investigation.

This is still an active and ongoing investigation.
