And that’s when Shank said she found a lead sheet in a file folder box labeled “Richard Allen Whiteman.” It was marked “cleared,” Shank said, but it was from a tip Allen sent in from Feb. 16, 2017, saying he was on the Monon High Bridge the day the girls went missing.

Richard Allen, the man currently standing trial for the deaths of Delphi teenagers Abigail Williams and Liberty German, was interviewed by investigators within one week of the murders and originally labeled "cleared.

Due to a labeling mix-up, a tip that defendant Richard Allen was seen on the Monon High Bridge on the day of the murders of Abigail Williams, 13, and Liberty "Libby" German, 14, in 2017, was not reviewed after September 2022.

As Day 6 of testimony in the Delphi murders trials began, the state began to lay the groundwork for its case against Richard Allen. Allen is charged with four counts of murder in connection with the February 2017 deaths of Abby Williams and Libby German near the Monon High Bridge.

Tuesday’s proceedings included an account of items found at the murder scene and testimony on the infamous “Bridge Guy” video.
