The Delphi murders struck at the very heart of America, shaking communities from coast to coast. These were two innocent young girls, Abigail Williams and Liberty German, brutally murdered as they enjoyed a simple afternoon hike in Delphi, Indiana in February 2017. The case stood unsolved for years— a haunting reminder of the darkness that can invade even the most peaceful American towns.
Now, recently released videos from 2022 have surfaced, showing convicted killer Richard Allen defiantly denying his involvement during police interrogations and conversations with his wife. Allen, sentenced to 130 years behind bars in December 2024, was found guilty by a jury convinced by powerful evidence, including a bullet matched to his firearm and clothing similar to that seen in a video from one of the victims’ phones.
Yet, the newly revealed footage tells a different story. “It’s sounding more like you’re… I’m not going to be somebody’s fall guy,” Allen told investigators in October 2022, as reported by Fox News Digital. He insisted throughout the interviews that he was innocent, even when confronted with the compelling ballistic evidence linking his weapon to the crime scene.
Allen’s arrest in 2022 was a shock to Delphi residents. Here was a man they’d known as a friendly CVS employee for years, suddenly accused of a horrifying double murder. The initial investigation back in 2017 had briefly considered Allen, who admitted to being on the Monon High Bridge trail the day the girls vanished, but a clerical error tragically removed him from immediate suspicion. It wasn’t until five years later, when authorities recovered a matching firearm and a blue jacket at his home, that Allen became the prime suspect.
As conservatives who proudly defend law and order and justice, we believe in holding criminals accountable to the fullest extent of the law. President Trump has consistently championed strong criminal justice policies to keep our communities safe and secure. The Delphi murders represent exactly the type of heinous crime that demands swift and decisive justice—justice that was delayed in this case by procedural missteps and investigative setbacks.
Allen’s claims of innocence stand in stark contrast to his jailhouse confessions, where he admitted to ordering the victims “down the hill”—a chilling phrase captured on victim Libby German’s phone. Allen also confessed behind bars to attempting to assault the girls but claimed he was “spooked” by a nearby van, prompting him to end their lives instead. His attorneys have argued that these admissions stemmed from declining mental health, but the jury saw it differently, and the evidence spoke louder than Allen’s late-hour denials.
“Am I an angel of a person? No,” Allen admitted during interrogation. “But I’m not going to turn into that guy.” Yet, the facts remain unyielding: his firearm produced the bullet found at the scene; eyewitnesses placed him on the trail dressed similarly to “Bridge Guy,” and the confessions align with the tragic timeline. Americans deserve a justice system that does not waver in the face of claims of victimhood or denial when confronted with overwhelming evidence.
The Delphi case is emblematic of the need for vigilance, accountability, and an unwavering commitment to truth and justice in America. Under President Trump’s renewed leadership, law enforcement has the support it needs to solve crimes efficiently and fairly, ensuring that tragic delays like those in the Delphi murders become a thing of the past. The memory of Abby and Libby demands no less from us.
This case once again underscores the critical necessity of strong leadership in law enforcement—leadership that supports our officers, provides resources for investigations, and ensures that justice is done swiftly. The MAGA movement stands firmly behind policies that prioritize public safety, support for law enforcement, and justice for victims and their families. The fight for justice never ends, and it’s a battle worth fighting for America’s future.
