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.

Her personal items, a hairdryer, lipstick, and red high heel shoes, as well as a bent car key, were strewn about the area. Police recovered an unidentified palm print from her vehicle. Neighbors report hearing screams at about the time that Huisentruit would have been leaving for work. The popular TV personality is still missing more than two decades later,  but private investigator Steve Ridge has announced a new lead.  He says a former girlfriend came forward claiming an initial person of interest (now deceased)  confessed, "I did it."

DOUBLE KILLER O.J. SIMPSON GETS SLAP IN THE FACE BEYOND THE GRAVE

The Buffalo Bills new Wall of Fame at the new Highmark Stadium will not have an exhibit on former running back O.J. Simpson.  Bills COO Pete Guelli says Simpson is "not a fit" to be displayed inside the organization's new facility.  This decision has sparked a divided response from the fanbase as many still do not believe "The Juice" as he was known, killed ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson. A group called the "Committee to Preserve OJ Simpson's Place in Buffalo Bills History" has actively started a petition to demand the team reverse its stance, citing Simpson's undeniable on-field accomplishments and his legacy as an MVP. A stunning interview the former NFL star gave in 2006 leaves no doubt.  The remarkable video was forgotten until it was rediscovered in an office that was being cleaned at FOX Studios. Simpson's purportedly hypothetical scenario of what happened at Nicole's condo the night of June 12, 1994 was on it. Nancy Grace is joined by death scene investigator Joseph Scott Morgan, Judge Ashley Wilcott, and Investigative reporter Art Harris.

DEAD, MISSING SPACE SCIENTISTS MYSTERY RAGING UNSOLVED

The FBI and other federal agencies are investigating the deaths and disappearances of more than a dozen top scientists and personnel tied to NASA, Los Alamos Nation Laboratory and  classified military research.   The remains of Los Alamos worker Melissa Casias were found in Carson National Forest  nearly a year after she vanished. Police records revealed that missing retiree Anthony Chavez had been researching quantum physics with a Los Alamos scientist.   In the meantime the February disappearance of retired Air Force General William Neil McCasland,  continues. McCasland had links to many of the dead and missing who were connected to classified  aerospace and national security programs.   Conspiracy theories abound on a coordinated effort to silence these researchers. Do any of them have a hold on reality?   See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
