episode DELPHI KILLER RICHARD ALLEN CONVICTED OF GRUESOME DEATH OF TEENS LIBBY AND ABBY DEMANDS REVERSAL cover

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.

VIDEO OF NANCY GUTHRIE & KIDNAPPER CLAIM

New in the Nancy Guthrie case, another email to TMZ by a person claiming to have video of Nancy and her kidnapper. The anonymous emails demand one Bitcoin in exchange for information on the abduction of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie. The email claims the anonymous sender has hidden cellphone in a secure location that contains a short video of one of the kidnappers with Guthrie. Reportedly that video was taken on the day Nancy allegedly died.   The email also reportedly contains names, ages, and addresses of the alleged suspects. TMZ  forwarded the emails directly to the FBI. Pima County Sheriff, has expressed heavy skepticism about the legitimacy.

'BIKINI TEEN' MARLY 'VANISHES FROM PARTY BOAT,' GRUESOME DISCOVERY, NO ONE ON BOAT 'REMEMBERS'

Marly Kinney, 19,   disappeared June 24, 2026 while on a rented pontoon boat with a group of friends at Grayson Lake. Investigators say she was last seen around 4 p.m, getting off the pontoon for a bathroom break. The group boarded again to move to another location. After realizing Marly was not on board, they returned.  Authorities were later notified, prompting a large search. Drones, sonar, boats, helicopters, K-9 teams, and underwater search equipment were used as more than 50 community volunteers searched the shoreline. Five days after she went missing, Marly Kinney's body was recovered from Grayson Lake.  The cause and manner of death are being determined by the state medical examiner.   Related to the case, boat operator, Cameron Conley, 23 has been arrested on a charge of boating under the influence  after responding officers observed signs of intoxication.     Joining Nancy Grace: * Skye Lazaro  -  criminal defense attorney   Law Firm: Ray, Quinney & Nebeker, website: www.rqn.com [http://www.rqn.com/], Facebook: SkyeBeth, Instagram: SkyeBeth1  * Dr. Bethany Marshall  - Psychoanalyst,  https://www.drbethanymarshall.com/ [https://www.drbethanymarshall.com/], Instagram FB & TikTok: drbethanymarshall, Twitter:@DrBethanyLiveAuthor: "Deal Breaker,"    featured in hit show: "Paris in Love" on Peacock and "The Valley, Persian Style" on Bravo.  Host : "On The Couch with Dr. Bethany Marshall"  * Robin Dreeke   - Behavior Expert & Former FBI Special Agent / Chief of the FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, Author: "Sizing People Up: A Veteran FBI Agents Manual for Behavior Prediction," "Unbreakable Alliances: A Spy Recruiter's Authoritative Guide to Cultivating Powerful and Lasting Connections, "website: www.Robin.Dreeke.com [http://www.robin.dreeke.com/], Twitter: @rdreeke  * Ben Dobrin  - Virginia Beach, VA - Emergency Response Diving Instructor, Police Diver,  Emergency Services Diver  * Dr. Kendall Crowns  - Chief Medical Examiner Tarrant County (Ft Worth), Host:  "Mayhem in the Morgue", Lecturer: Burnett School of Medicine at TCU (Texas Christian University)  * Susan Hendricks  - Investigative Journalist, Author: “Down the Hill: My Descent into the Double Murder in Delphi", IG @susan_hendricks X @SusanHendicks  * Sydney Silvagni  -  Investigative Reporter, 'Crime Stories'   See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
