Richard Allen has been convicted of murdering Abby Williams and Libby German in 2017. A jury found him guilty on all charges.

Richard Allen, 50, was charged with the murders of Abby Williams, 13, and Libby German, 14, in Delphi, Ind., in February 2017. Last month, a jury found Allen guilty on all charges in the double homicide: felony murder for the killing of 13-year-old Abigail 'Abby' Williams while attempting to commit kidnapping; felony murder for the killing of 14-year-old Liberty 'Libby' German while attempting to commit kidnapping; murder for knowingly killing Abby; and murder for knowingly killing Libby.

People will have a chance to address Allen through victim impact statements at sentencing, but they were prohibited from commenting during or after Allen’s trial. Law enforcement, prosecutors and defense attorneys have also been under a gag order and have not yet commented on the verdict. Richard Allen was charged with the murders of Abby Williams and Libby German in Delphi, Ind., in February 2017. Abby and Libby were walking along a Delphi hiking trail when they were attacked on Feb. 13, 2017. Their throats were slit and their bodies were dumped in the nearby woods. Moments before the murders, Libby posted a photo of Abby on Snapchat showing her on the Monon High Bridge. After crossing the bridge, the girls saw a man behind them. As police looked for the suspect, they released footage from Libby's phone to the public: a grainy image of 'bridge guy' and an audio clip of him telling the girls to go 'down the hill.' The prosecution’s key physical evidence was a .40-caliber unspent round discovered by the girls' bodies
