Delphi Murders Trial Updates
The trial of Richard Allen, accused of murdering two schoolgirls in Delphi, Indiana, continues to unfold as the jury hears evidence presented by the prosecution. Allen is charged with fatally stabbing eighth-grade girls Abby Williams and Libby German in 2017, and the prosecution claims they can link a bullet found at the crime scene to Allen's gun. As the trial progresses, Allen's police interviews are revealed, showcasing a shift from initially cooperating to becoming increasingly hostile as interrogators challenge his alibi. Witnessing his demeanor and conflicting statements raises questions about his credibility as he vehemently insists on his innocence while facing serious allegations.
The Disappearance of Suzanne Simpson
Suzanne Clark Simpson, a missing realtor and mother of four, was last seen after a domestic dispute with her husband, Brad. Following her disappearance, Brad was arrested and charged with family violence, and subsequently, a second individual, his business partner, was also arrested for allegedly tampering with evidence. Witness accounts suggest that neighbors heard a confrontation and screams on the night of Suzanne's last known whereabouts, and investigators are now exploring the possibility of foul play. As searches intensify, family members express their fears for her safety, leading authorities to treat the case as a potential recovery mission.
