Suspect arrested in murder of 2 Delphi, Ind, teens
‘Crime Stories’ host Nancy Grace discusses the audio file from the suspect arrested for murder of two Delphi, Indiana teen girls on ‘America’s Newsroom.’
Richard Allen, the Indiana man recently charged with murder in the 2017 Delphi murders of two young girls, was involved in a "domestic" incident with his wife two years prior in 2015, according to local reports.
Deputies responded to the incident around 3 a.m. on June 18, 2015, to "keep the peace," according to a report obtained by FOX59 Indianapolis.
His wife apparently said Allen was drunk at the time, and she took him to a nearby hospital to be evaluated, the outlet reported.
Indiana authorities took Allen, 50, into custody Oct. 26 after police searched his home and found evidence linking him to the killings of Liberty "Libby" German, 14, and Abigail Williams, 13, according to FOX59.

Indiana police say German used her cellphone to snap images of a man walking across the railroad bridge shortly before she and Williams' bodies were found on Feb. 14 in a wooded area near the Delphi Historic Trail. German also recorded the man believed to be the killer ordering the pair "down the hill."
