Description

Richard Allen,  convicted in the 2017 murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German in Delphi, Indiana, has filed an appeal to overturn his conviction. Oral arguments will be heard September 21, 2026.    The jury took two minutes from entering the courtroom to announce the verdict: Richard Allen, guilty on all charges. Allen was convicted of felony murder for Abby Williams and Libby German, as well as for knowingly and intentionally killing both girls. Judge Gull maintained order in the courtroom, where there were no outbursts, but outside on the streets of Delphi, shouts of "Guilty on all charges" echoed.  The jury, composed of seven women and five men, heard 17 days of testimony, including dozens of witnesses, disturbing jailhouse videos of Richard Allen, and photos of Abby and Libby as they were found at the crime scene. They deliberated for 19 hours over parts of four days to reach a unanimous verdict. Richard Allen was found guilty of four counts: two counts of felony murder and two counts of knowingly and intentionally killing Abby Williams and Libby German. Delphi residents tell reporters that they are still in shock after learning that local pharmacy tech Richard Allen has been charged in the 2017 murder of teens Liberty German and Abigail Williams. Photos of Allen in a local bar with the police sketch of the murder suspect posted on the wall behind him have surfaced. We have also learned that while at work, Allen developed photos of the girls, to be used at their funeral, for the families at no charge.  Police say Allen came forward as a witness in the early days of the investigation, but nothing at that time linked him to the crime.    Joining Nancy Grace Today: * David Yoder - Richard Allen's former neighbor   * Fran Longwell - Former Deputy State’s Attorney (Calvert County, MD), Former Assistant State’s Attorney (Prince George’s County, MD) specializing in child abuse, sex offenses and homicides * Caryn Stark [CarynStark.com] - NYC Psychologist; Twitter: @carynpsych, Facebook: "Caryn Stark" * Sheryl McCollum [ColdCaseCrimes.org] - Forensic Expert, Founder: Cold Case Investigative Research Institute in Atlanta, GA.; @ColdCaseTips  * Dr. Todd M.

FITNESS MOM, MISSY BEVERS, BLUDGEONED DEAD IN CHURCH BASEMENT

Missy Bevers arrives at Creekside Church at 4:16 AM and begins setting up for her 5 AM fitness class. She doesn't realize that someone else is in the building. Video surveillance shows a person dressed in full police SWAT tactical gear walking through the halls of the church with an unusual gait while clutching a hammer.   Shortly before 5 AM, one of Bevers' students arrives, finding Bevers' body inside the church.  Bevers has puncture wounds to her head and chest. The student calls 911. In minutes, police and rescue arrive, and Missy Bevers is pronounced dead on the scene.  Creekside church has surveillance cameras inside and out of their property. Still, in a tough break for cops, the outside cameras don't work. Police rule out Missy Bevers' husband, Brandon, as he was on an annual fishing trip at the time of the murder. However, Missy Bevers' death investigation now includes a vehicle of interest that police say was captured on surveillance cameras at a nearby business just before the murder. It is a 2010-2012 Nissan Altima, silver or light color, with an oval sticker on its bumper.   Tips can also be submitted directly to the Midlothian Police Department Criminal Investigation Division at 972‑775‑3333 or through private message on our Facebook page, Midlothian Police Department – Texas (@MidlothianTXPD).   Joining Nancy Today: * Dr. Geri-Lynn Utter  - Clinical Psychologist specializing in psychological evaluations and risk assessments for individuals involved in the criminal justice system, Author of “Mainlining Philly: Survival, Hope and Resisting Drug Addition,” and “Aftershock: How Past Event Shake Up Your Life Today”, and Producer of “Utter Nonsense,” a documentary of exploration of addition and severe mental illness, available to stream on Apple TV and Prime Video, website:drgerilynnutter.com, Instagram & Facebook: DrGeriLynnUtter  * Joseph Scott Morgan - Professor of Forensics: Jacksonville State University, Author, "Blood Beneath My Feet", Host: "Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan", Instagram @JoScottForensic *  Alan Duke  -  Investigative Journalist / Editor in Chief, LeadStories.com [https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://LeadStories.com__;!!PxibshUo2Yr_Ta5B!zpRUeC3ntFUZPYZqjXcSLqSL8s8LRW6n7K516-1C7emZUoghDGa27iVdqnsDHIxjR_4YVYmacNojE1-O$] Website:LeadStories.com [https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://LeadStories.com__;!!PxibshUo2Yr_Ta5B!zpRUeC3ntFUZPYZqjXcSLqSL8s8LRW6n7K516-1C7emZUoghDGa27iVdqnsDHIxjR_4YVYmacNojE1-O$]  X: @AlanDukeNews  * Dave Mack  - Investigative Reporter, 'Crime Stories'On Phone  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
