An Indiana jury found Richard Allen, a 52-year-old resident of the state, guilty of murder Nov. 11. Allen is charged with killing 13-year-old Abigail Williams and 14-year-old Liberty German, who had been walking on a hiking trail in Delphi, Indiana, in February 2017. The case became known as The Delphi Murders, according to the Associated Press (AP).
Deliberations stretched into a fourth day before jurors found Allen guilty of killing the two girls. The former drugstore worker was convicted of two counts of murder and two additional counts of murder while committing or attempting to commit kidnapping. Allen could face up to 130 years in prison, according to AP.
