Found Deceased IN - Abigail (Abby) Williams & Liberty (Libby) German - The Delphi Murders - #149

[SMK777]

Yes, if they had no idea ... and I'm guessing not .

The shame is all on the perp !

It must be devastating for his family to realize this, but BTK killer’s wife and daughter also had no clue that husband/father had been in that case killing for years.

 

[TobyWong*]

Because he was hiding in plain sight.

Who knows what goes on behind closed doors.

It would be interesting to know if there had been any recent upheaval in his personal life. Separation, divorce etc.

Karla Homolka ratted out Paul Bernardo after he beat her up so bad she feared for her life. Not that she wasn’t complicit but that was the deed that made her talk.

Who knows. Something similar?

MOO

Jumping in before i get to the end of the thread.. im wondering if K K gave up info to help his CSAM case going on right now(using initials to not violate TOS)

 

[taylorss]

Wow
Finally!!

 

[tmar]

What gives here? The second paragraph is citing FOX59 as stating he has NOT been charged with a connection to the murders.

Yes. I read this also.

 

[Gardenista]

The linked FOX article says Allen has been “booked in connection with the Delphi murders”, not that he was charged with them. I’ve not found any articles yet that say he was charged.

Correct and the OP said he was not.

 

[Dhighsmith]

I hope they're watching this chap like a hawk, the last thing we need is for him to take the easy way out and whatever he knows to the grave.

Agree, he’s been moved to secure facility per updated article.

 

[swedeheart]

Yes!!!! Today is the day!!!

 

[iamnotagolem]

Like you, I'm sort of flabbergasted if that height is correct. That would be unusual for a man. Forget all the other details, that one alone would have likely narrowed the search down considerably if eye witnesses mentioned it (and why wouldn't they?). Of course, it could just be a typo on the website, that happens, but if it IS correct, that is just so strange. Was that not shared with the public for some reason? Because we are looking for a guy who looks like this sketch vs. we are looking for a guy in the 5'3"-5'5" height range who looks like this sketch is a very, very different thing. Looking at photos, he doesn't look that short, but hard to tell for sure. I'm so curious.

Again adding to the theory that the sketches/witnesses didn’t see BG. They also specificity said not blue eyes. Being 5’4” would have been notable even if they didn’t notice anything else about him. I’m short so any time a man is around my height I notice since they typically tower over me.

I had more to add but can’t find the link I wanted to discuss the initial height estimate for BG.

Quite possible.

I agree i feel horrible for them to. They had no idea im sure.

Looks like a Heavy typo because the linked article says nothing of the sort

It appears the media is relying on sources but are not yet able to officially confirm what the charges are. I assume in the State of Indiana a suspect can be held for a certain time pending formal charges to be later placed? Maybe that explains where things stand today?

'Today is the day': Update to Delphi murders of Libby and Abby announced by ISP

Indiana State Police plan a Monday morning news conference in Delphi to update the investigation into who killed Libby German and Abby Williams.

www.jconline.com

“……Fox 59 in Indianapolis is reporting that a man named Richard Allen, 50, was arrested and booked into the Carroll County Jail on suspicion of murder in connection to the girls' killings. Fox 59 reported that the man was moved to a state facility for his safety.

The Indianapolis news outlet attributed the information to "sources."

The Journal & Courier called the Carroll County Jail. No one answered.

The Journal & Courier called Carroll County Sheriff Tobe Leazenby several times and left voicemails. He did not respond.

Indiana State Police Sgt. Jeremy Piers said he cannot confirm if an arrest was made in the case.

Indiana laws require police to release the identity of anyone arrested, as well as anyone incarcerated at a jail or prison within 24 hours of the arrest. The name, age, and address of the person arrested, as well as the crimes he is suspected of committing, is required by law to be released.

Piers still refused to release information, saying that any update will be released Monday.

The Journal & Courier filed a request Friday afternoon to inspect public information with Indiana State Police and Leazenby. They are required to respond within 24 hours of the request…..”

Has it been confirmed he works at CVS as a pharmacist? I‘d have great pity for any Delphi innocent who just happens to have the same common name.

Pharmacy Tech not pharmacist.

MOO Feeling emotional and also the most hopeful about this case being solved that I have since day 1. I know the hardworking LE team will not rest until there's a conviction and these precious and strong young ladies have justice. I keep thinking about Libby taking action to document the deranged individual. She would have been a heck of a LE investigator, websleuth or anything else she set her mind on. I again find a bit of comfort knowing these girls were so loved in their lives and that they each had such a loyal best friend that stood by each other.

It's going to be a long weekend waiting for the press conference but we are really close now. Justice is near. MOO

I’ve always believed eye witness accounts claiming to have seen him were mistaken identity due to fact his pants would have been wet and blood was no doubt present on his clothing. JMO

 

[girlhasnoname]

Not to mention, on the bridge, he had a sloppy, sort of unkept look. At work he was probably neatly groomed.

And a neatly styled, older pharmacy technician will almost subconsciously give an impression of safety/security. They are like Dr.'s in that they help us when we're sick. Not someone you would probably even consider in thinking about as a killer.

I do think having a clean criminal record, family man, perhaps a regular church goer probably helped keep him from even being suspected.

Wow, I'm still in a bit of shock myself.

MOO

 

[whitelilac]

Earlier I listed what LE may possibly have on this guy.

One of them was items or trophies.

Now I see this:
"According to WISH-TV, citing the search warrant, two articles of clothing from one of the girls was missing from the scene, leading authorities to believe they may have been taken as a souvenir."

Makes one wonder....

Yes but there wasn’t cell phone video and audio of BTK or most perps prior to 15 years ago when the first iPhone came out and everyone had a device in their pocket.

 

[dgfred]

Maybe the 'in connection' is with another?

 

[stargazer17]

Quite possible.

If true, I hope he still gets a lengthy jail term, KK can not be rehabilitated.

Some of those accounts were presumably before the attack, however.
