Delphi man held in 2017 killings of teen girls

LIST. GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. I’M ROSEANNE TELLEZ. WE HAVE MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS TO SHARE IN THE MURDER OF THOSE TWO DELPHI GIRLS . ANTHONY IS HERE TO EXPLAIN EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TODAY, AND I THINK, THE INDIANA STATE POLICE SUPERINTENDENT SAID IT’S BEEN 2086 DAYS SINCE THIS HAPPENED, SO THIS HAS BEEN A THAN 5.5 YEARS, POLICE MAKING IT OFFICIAL TODAY ANNOUNCING AN ARREST AND MURDER CHARGES IN THE DEATHS OF ABIGAIL WILLIAMS AND LIBERTY, GERMAN, THE YOUNG TEEN HAPPENED AFTER THEY DISAPPEARED FROM A HIKING TRAIL IN 2017. THIS IS A CASE THAT IS NOT

ONLY GRIPPED THE DELPHI COMMUNITY IN THE STATE OF INDIANA, BUT REALLY THE ENTIRE NATION. A LOCAL MAN FROM DELPHI 50 YEAR OLD RICHARD ALLEN, WAS ARRESTED. HE IS NOW CHARGED WITH TWO COUNTS OF MURDER, BUT IN A POSSIBLE INDICATION THAT THERE IS STILL MUCH WORK TO BE DONE IN THIS CASE, AUTHORITIES HAVE REALLY BROKEN PROTOCOL BY NOT RELEASING ANY DETAILS ABOUT WHAT LED TO ALLEN’S ARREST. NOR ARE THEY MAKING THE PROBABLE CAUSE AFFIDAVIT PUBLIC, WHICH IS USUALLY THE STANDARD PRACTICE. TODAY IS NOT A DAY TO CELEBRATE. BUT THE ARREST OF RICHARD M. ALLEN OF DELPHI.

ON TWO COUNTS OF MURDER. IT SURE A MAJOR STEP LEADING TO THE CONCLUSION. THIS LONG TERM AND COMPLEX. KELSEY TWEETING THIS MESSAGE OUT MOMENTS AFTER POLICE MADE THAT ANNOUNCEMENT, SHE TWEETED OUT. QUOTE. WE GOT HIM OCTOBER 28TH WAS THE

DAY AND THE CARROLL COUNTY PROSECUTOR SAYS THE INVESTIGATION IS STILL VERY MUCH ONGOING, DECIDED NOT TO RELEASE DETAILS TO MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF THE CASE AND IS KEEPING THE EMAIL TIP LINE THE PHONE TIP LINE OPEN HERE. ALLEN IS BEING HELD WITHOUT BOND. HIS PRETRIAL HEARING IS SCHEDULED FOR JANUARY, AND WE’RE GOING TO HAVE MUCH MORE

ROSEANNE ON TODAY’S DEVELOPMENTS COMING UP ON OUR AFTERNOON AND EVENING NEWSCASTS AND BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH A SMALL, TIGHT KNIT COMMUNITY. I THINK PEOPLE WERE TERRIFIED THEY WERE SO HOPEFULLY THIS GOES A LONG WAY TO EASING
