This is a true crime in real time update from True Crime Today and the Hidden Killers podcast.

Hello, I'm Tony Bruske, and today we delve into a story that has gripped a community for over seven years,

intertwining tragedy with the relentless pursuit of justice. In the Delphi murders trial,

the evidence, or lack thereof, continues to unfold revealing

shocking details that could alter the course of this high-profile case.

As the courtroom doors swung open for day nine of the trial against Richard Allen,

the chilling revelations from forensic experts sent ripples of disbelief through the jury and the families

of the victims. A blood spatter analysis suggests that one of the victims, Liberty German,

may have been dragged to the location where her body was found, indicating a harrowing struggle

against her attacker. This expert testimony sets the stage for the prosecution's narrative that

Allen, 52, a man already facing two counts of murder, not only committed the heinous act, but also

attempted to cover his tracks in a crime that has forever changed the small town of Delphi, Indiana.

These questions hang in the air as jurors listen to the gut-wrenching testimonies about the

scene where Abby Williams and Libby German were tragically taken from this world.

Major Patrick Cicero of the Laporte County Sheriff's Office took the stand,

He detailed how Libby's blood patterns suggest a violent struggle,

a struggle that may have left her not only injured but possibly incapacitated when her life was

tragically cut short.
