Delphi murder suspect Richard Allen has reportedly confessed to the brutal 2017 killings of teenagers Abigail Williams and Liberty German during a series of prison phone calls with his wife. In a shocking revelation, Allen, 52, admitted to the crimes, saying, “I did it. I killed Abby and Libby,” in a recorded phone call played in court.

However, his wife, Kathy, expressed disbelief and insisted that he couldn’t have committed such heinous acts. Despite her protests, Allen remained firm in his confessions, stating in multiple calls that he was guilty. The conversations were played in court, revealing a disturbing back-and-forth between the couple.

In one call, Allen questioned whether his wife would stand by him if he faced the death penalty for the murders. He repeatedly asked for her love and reassurance, while Kathy maintained her belief in his innocence. The emotional rollercoaster of these conversations shed light on Allen’s state of mind and the turmoil he was experiencing.

The victims, Abigail and Liberty, were just 13 and 14 years old when they were killed by a man who approached them as they walked along a train trestle in the woods near their Indiana homes. The chilling footage captured by one of the girls on her phone captured the man ordering them to go “down the hill” before their tragic deaths.

Throughout the trial, graphic evidence was presented to jurors, showcasing the brutality of the girls’ murders. Despite Allen’s confessions to his wife, prison guards, and psychologists, there are doubts about the veracity of his claims. The defense argued that Allen may be suffering from “situational psychosis” due to his prolonged solitary confinement, leading to erratic behavior and conflicting statements.

Prison guards testified to Allen’s alarming actions during his confinement, including self-harm, refusal to eat, and erratic behavior. His struggles with mental health and the toll of his incarceration were evident in his conversations with his wife, where he expressed confusion and distress.

As the trial continues, the complex nature of Richard Allen’s confessions and his mental state will be closely examined. The tragic deaths of Abigail and Liberty have left a lasting impact on their families and the community, underscoring the need for justice and closure in this heartbreaking case.
