It’s creepy the way Richard Allen’s home and work is located so near the middle school and the Monon High Bridge making him as local to the crime as local can get.
It really answers the question I and others had was how would a random pervert know the girls were out of school that day? How was the killer prepared for a spur of the moment opportunity to grab two girls at once?
There was no random pervert getting lucky. It was as warned by authorities; a local.
Richard Allen lived so close to the school he could monitor activities and take advantage of announcements of days off.
I pay little attention but even peripherally I notice that girls Libby and Abby’s age are in groups of two or more. I can’t remember when I’ve seen one their age going about by herself on trails. It’s always at least two and many times several together walking, talking, and stopping to sit.
So Richard Allen used his means of proximity to ‘stalk’ young girls and being so close to their school and having to go that way to get to work he could see there was no activity at the two schools if he hadn’t already seen notices meant for the school community.
Richard Allen came prepared to kidnap two or more girls that day, imo.
Any amount of observation, ‘stalking’, would have told him he would have to do so in order to have one he would have to deal with the group.
Looking at the map every time Richard Allen left to go to work at CVS he went through the intersection where the schools are located and where there is a led message sign with announcements visible.
On his way to work he is crosses wooded Deer Creek at Riley Park.
Monon High Bridge is a quick trip straight over E. Main St from CVS.
Can’t get much more local than that, imo.
