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

[whitelilac]

Thinking aloud about what they may have:

DNA...which would be irrefutable
Voice analysis
Clothing....seen with the same hat, jacket, on surveillance in CVS, bars or elsewhere, since this guy is apparently local?
Or was his place of residence searched? Was a search warrant involved? Items, trophies, clothing linking him to the murders.
What about a vehicle? Can't remember if a vehicle was involved.
Toxicology? if this guy works in a pharmacy?
Computer activity, online searches etc?
Tips from friends, acquaintances, ...wife?

 

[Peppery]

Today IS the day…FELONY FRIDAY!

 

[Springrain]

Praying for his family as well.

Yes, me too. NOT for him, but for his kids, and for his wife. I hope they are supported through this, as well as the girls' families. What an awful situation.

 

[digiskunk]

This is absolutely breaking my mind right now. I know I'm probably jumping to conclusions—or perhaps it's just willful thinking—but Richard Allen looks exactly like the sketch. I can't wait to hear more information regarding the circumstances behind this arrest. What a day!

Yes, me too. NOT for him, but for his kids, and for his wife. I hope they are supported through this, as well as the girls' families. What an awful situation.

Yes it’s a good reminder his family are also victims if he is guilty of this crime.

 

[DogRescuer]

He is local and looks like the sketch, yet NO ONE had made the connection? That's just unreal.
Monday can't come fast enough!

I plugged in an address that came up for this guy, along with the general murder location.

IF this is really the guy that killed Abigail and Liberty, he lives RIGHT THERE! IF the witnesses truly provided a description of who they saw on the trails, how is it NONE of them walked past him somewhere in Delphi or walked into the CVS Pharmacy and thought to themselves, "OMG, THAT is the GUY!" IF he is or was a pharmacy tech at CVS, he likely has been seen thousands of times behind the counter.

Of course, there are probably a number of possible answers. NO ONE really saw the killer that day, but rather just another unrelated trail user. OR he had an alibi for that day and LE wrote it off. OR LE got hot on the trail of RL and this guy slipped into the background.

 

[M. Kay]

I am so happy for the families! And, for the Delphi community, turn on those orange lights tonight!

< I apologize for selecting the wrong, never-veered from before, suspect years ago. >

Justice for Abby and Libby!

Today is the day!

DeDee was first commenter for me on Delphi 5 and 3/4 years ago. Finally, TODAY

Wooo Hoooo !!!!
Finally !!!

My phone has been blowing up with the news but I am stuck working and on a conference call (( shhh.. dont tell on me for digging into this LOL) **

So happy to hear this today, FELONY FRIDAY !!!
Presser on Monday at Noon, IIRC

I will be back later to catch up -- darn work anyway

 

[sleepysleuth]

I am so shocked that BG is married, I assumed we were looking for a single man. I wonder if he wore clothes that were not from his closet, because I cannot imagine living that close to a crime scene and seeing a photo of my spouse at any distance and not recognizing it based on his wardrobe alone.

My mind and heart are in absolute shock right now. This was really “the day.” Now to go back and read everyone’s input. I’m at work and am struggling to contain my emotions here.

[MassGuy]

Ok. Gray was sent that photo he shared, but I was able to find it easily, and it's going to be him.

There are 3 Allen's in Delphi. The guy that was arrested is 50, so that leaves one.

Allen is a very common name, so in order to find him on Facebook (I don't believe that he himself has an account),<modsnip>

There you will find that photo (along with others), that was shared with Gray Hughes.

You're welcome.

[gitana1]

The family members seem very happy so I think more information has been shared with them.

How do we know they seem happy?
