Someone mentioned on here that the timeline isn't known yet but it most certainly is. This is from RIchard Allen's PCA but they jump around a lot in it so I thought I would put it in chronological order.
February 13, 2017
At 12:43 p.m. three teen girls and a little girl take a picture on the Monon High Bridge.
At 1:26 p.m. Those same girls take a picture on a bench after having walked the entirety of the approximately one mile trail. They then head westbound toward Freedom Bridge.
At 1:27 p.m. A car that resembles Richard Allen's 2016 Black Ford Focus is seen traveling westbound on CR 300 N. Heading in the direction of the former CPS building.
In his first statement, Richard Allen, says he parked at the old farm bureau building and headed toward Freedom Bridge. He says he was on the trails that day from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.
In the vicinity of the Freedom Bridge the three teen girls see a man. They describe him as "kind of creepy", "not very tall", had his hands in his pockets, wearing blue or black jeans and a blue or black jacket. He had gray hair maybe a little brown.
He matched the man in the still photo from LG's cellphone video.
Richard Allen said at the Freedom Bridge he saw three females. One was taller and had brown or black hair. He then says he walked to the High Bridge.
Just before 1:46 p.m.
Betsy Blair observed four girls (The three teen girls and the little girl) walking on the bridge over State Road 25 as she was driving underneath.
At 1:46 p.m.
Betsy Blair's car is seen traveling eastbound.
She parks her car across from the Mears farm and starts walking toward the High Bridge.
At 1:49 p.m. Kelsi drops Libby and Abby off across from the Mears' farm.
When Betsy Blair makes it to the High Bridge she
sees a man wearing blue jeans and a blue jeans jacket standing on platform One approximately 50 feet away. He matched the man from the still photo from Libby's cellphone video.
Richard Allen said in his 2022 statement that at the High Bridge he walked out onto platform One. He described himself as wearing blue jeans and a blue or black jacket.
Betsy turns around to finish her walk and halfway between the high bridge and the Mears' farm parking area she sees two girls who she believes to be Libby and Abby. They were headed to the High Bridge.
At 2:05 p.m.
Libby takes a picture of the bridge in between the second and third platforms (I will explain how I know this in my follow up post).
At 2:07 p.m.
Libby gets on the third platform and turns around to take a picture of Abby walking across High Bridge. No one is visible in the picture except Abby.
Around 2:10 p.m.
A man on his way to Delphi on State Road 25 observes a purple PT cruiser or a small suv type vehicle parked on the South side of the old CPS building. It was backed in as though to conceal it's license plate.
At 2:13 p.m.
While at the end of the High Bridge or very close to it Libby, who is turned toward the beginning of the bridge, begins recording video of a man on her cell phone. The man is coming from the direction of the beginning of the bridge. He is between the fifth and six platforms walking behind Abby. (I will share how I know this in my follow up post)
In the video it has been described as containing the following...
Abby looks up at Libby and asks if the man is behind her. One of the girls', it is believed to be Abby, mentions the man has a gun. The girls' discuss where they should go. The man approaches and says, "Guys.... down the hill!"
The sound of a gun clicks. The video is said to be 43 seconds long and ends at 2:14 p.m.
At 2:14 p.m.
Betsy Blair's car is seen leaving westbound from the trails. As she passes by the old CPS building she sees a car parked in an odd manner. It is in the same general spot and backed in like the man observed around 2:10 p.m.
Other people were on the trails after 2:13 p.m.
and none of them saw Richard Allen, Libby, or Abby.
Around 2:28 p.m.
A man sees a small dark colored car parked at the old CPS building. He describes it as possibly a smart car.
At 2:32 p.m.
Libby's phone ceases movement, according to the Apple Health Data on her cellphone.
At 3:57 p.m.
Sarah Carbaugh is driving eastbound down CR 300 N when she sees a man walking westbound away from the Monon High bridge. He appears muddy, bloody, and like he's been in a fight.
There were other individuals on the trails or CR 300 N from 2:30 p.m. to 4:11 p.m. and none of these people saw a man resembling RIchard Allen on the trail.
The girls were found dead the next day and a .40 caliber unspent round was found less than two feet from Libby's body and in between Libby and Abby's bodies. There were extraction marks on the bullet. When LE tested Richard Allen's Sig Sauer P226 the extraction marks matched the one's on the unspent bullet from the crime scene.
