Summary
Delphi residents tell reporters that they are still in shock after learning that local pharmacy tech Richard Allen has been charged in the 2017 murder of teens Liberty German and Abigail Williams.
Photos of Allen in a local bar with the police sketch of the murder suspect posted on the wall behind him have surfaced.
We have also learned that while at work, Allen developed photos of the girls, to be used at their funeral, for the families at no charge.
Police say Allen came forward as a witness in the early days of the investigation, but nothing at that time linked him to the crime.
