Summary
Accused killer Richard Allen has confessed, according to recently-released court documents.
Allen made a phone call to his wife and in that call, admitted several times that he killed Libby German and Abby Williams. Allen's wife abruptly hangs up the phone. All calls from jail are recorded.
Allen's attorney says the admissions were caused by Allen's decline in his mental health, which prompted the attorney to ask for Allen to be moved to another jail. The judge has not ruled on the move yet.
We also know that the girls' injuries were caused by a sharp object. Some articles of clothing from the girls were missing from the scene, including a pair of underwear and a sock. Most of the girls' clothing was found south of the girls' bodies.
