I'm Drew Nelson. In Indiana, the state rests its case in the Delphi murder trial of Richard Allen,

marking day 12 of proceedings.

Allen faces charges for the 2017 deaths of two teenage girls Libby and Abbey,

whose bodies were found near the Monon High Bridge.

Following the prosecution's 40th witness, the defense began calling its first witnesses,

aiming to counter the state's case with testimony about overlooked leads and possibly suspicious individuals in the area.

First, Cheyenne Mill testified.

Mill had been on the Monon High Bridge Trail with a friend on the afternoon of the murders,

describing seeing a man who did not respond when they said hello. She described him as

overweight, matching what others called the bridge guy. The two young women continued across the

bridge and took several photos on Snapchat. It was not until the following day after hearing

that the girls had been found

dead that Mill contacted police to report her experience, but she testified that her initial

attempts to reach the police were met with dismissiveness and said she did not meet with an officer

until two weeks later. Mill said that several months after the meeting, the FBI reached out,

asking for her phone, which had pinged on the

trail during her time there. Mills said that online rumors and speculation about her presence on the

bridge had left her, quote, blasted out and suspected by others. She ended her testimony by clarifying

that she had not seen anyone else on the bridge, but did observe a man and woman on a

moped nearby, who seemed, in her words, frantic. The second witness called by the defense,

Teresa Liebert, who lives near a private drive near the murder site and Brad Weber's property.
