Delphi killer Richard Allen, who was convicted in the brutal 2017 murders of Indiana teens Abigail Williams and Liberty German, was sentenced Friday to 130 years in prison.
52 year old allen was pleaded guilty The eighth-grade students, both 13 and 14, were murdered last month — nearly eight years after their bodies were found with their throats slit near a hiking trail.
The former drugstore employee encountered the girls, who were close friends, on the Monon High Bridge Trail in February 2017.
Prosecutors said Allen forced the couple out of the way at gunpoint and threatened to rape them — but changed his plans when a van drove by.
He then forced them down a hill and cut their necks about a quarter mile from the trail, where they were found the next day.
The gruesome murders that haunted the small town of Delphi, Indiana, remained unsolved until October 2022, when Allen confessed to murdering the girls.
