| 0:00.0 | In February of 2017, two young friends in Delphi, Indiana went missing. |
| 0:06.0 | That day, 14-year-old Liberty or Libby German and 13-year-old Abigail Abby Williams decided to go hiking, |
| 0:14.0 | and the two disappeared after posting a couple of pictures to Snapchat. |
| 0:17.5 | Their bodies were found hours later, with both having been brutally killed by an unknown |
| 0:21.7 | subject. |

| 1:07.7 | Yet this man, Richard Allen, wasn't treated seriously as a suspect until 2022. |
| 1:13.6 | When investigators looked into him, they discovered a number of red flags. |
| 1:17.6 | When I brought you the last update in this case, prosecutors had filed charges against Richard Allen, |
| 1:23.6 | charging him with the deaths of both Libby and Abby, and had begun to formulate their case against him. |
| 1:28.9 | Now, two years later, that trial has come to a conclusion. |
| 1:37.3 | On Monday, November 11, 2004, 52-year-old Richard Allen was found guilty of all four charges filed against |
