He is not a man- he is something else entirely. Real men protect women and children. So he does not fall in to that category. The men who tracked him, caught him and convicted him are the true men in this story. The true heroes.
@@tiabiamama Yeah he kinda folded when his wife said in front of law enforcement “ you told me you were on the trail and you didn’t go out on the bridge that day ? “ I think that’s when everything went downhill from there. They had him.

Wow ! What if Richard Allen hadn’t told his wife he was out on the trail that day ? She wouldn’t have insisted he tell law enforcement ? The girls helped to solve their own murder. Amazing. Without the “ bridge guy “ video and his voice , Richard Allen probably would have never told his wife he was out there that day ? And he may have done it again.
Don't misunderstand me please but why didn't the girls just RUN? Theres no way he could have caught them! Parents don't tell your kids stranger danger yell tell them to yell While They Run!!!
@ I know. I thought the same thing. Have you ever seen in the movies when the bad guy points a gun at someone else they just freeze ? Especially if they “ rack” the gun ? It’s a chilling sound. Most people and young girls would just follow instructions ? Hoping for the best ? And they don’t want their friend to get shot ? Even shot in the back ? I think that’s what happened. If someone would point a gun at me I would move very slow and just pray for the best. The girls must not have had an opportunity to run or if they did they didn’t want to leave the other friend behind. The guy worked at a pharmacy ? I’ve wondered ( on my own) if he had something to sedate them ? I’m thinking the forensics would have found it. Maybe he told them if they did everything he wanted , he would let them live. I’d be scared to death. I would freeze and shut up for sure.
The state made its case: a crime lab technician matched a bullet found at the crime scene to Allen’s gun; a camera captured Allen’s car near the murder scene; he admitted he was on the bridge on the day of the murders and confessed to the crime dozens of times, including in jail phone calls to his wife and mother.
Junk science and a biased court. This is not justice.

Funny how you gloss over this>>>Elvis Fields said TO THE POLICE and I quote, "if my spit is found on the girls, but I can explain; am I still in trouble?" Just days after they were killed he told his sister he helped kill them and that HE put sticks above Abby's head as horns. The sister went to the Delphi Police...they went out of their way to do absolutely nothing! Guess what. There were sticks above Abby's head. No one in the public knew that. Why did LE and Nick McLeland want that buried?? Elvis CONFESSED and then put his spit as possibly being on the girls. Why TF would he do that if he didn't know he was there and was worried they may have evidence connecting him...But you guys don't care about that, do you?!
He had a jacket like the one worn in the "man on the bridge" was wearing, a unspent bullet from his gun was found at the murder scene, and he confessed numerous times. The lawyers for him were more intrested in furthering their business more then justice for the girls deaths.
So many secondary victims we don’t think about RA mother and wife neither provided a character witness. It’s got to be horrible to realize your son could do this and your spouse you slept with all those years afterward with a killer. rA own’s daughter I can’t imagine the guy who walked you down the aisle could kill someone else daughter. The only silver lining is Liberty sister is in a legal field now to help other victims. So something good came out of something so bad.
And now taxpayers will pay dearly to house the sick twisted animal in prison for the rest of his sorry ass life while the children's loved ones will struggle with their losses in despair and darkness. Sick and very sad.
Well...sometimes prison justice is different. Regardless, he is gonna be miserable. What are you doing right now? Yep, that is something you won't be able to enjoy in prison.
😮YES 😮 HE IS A maybe going to the landfill . I have seen people in chains working at the landfills. Be rest a sure his mind ain't right someone gotta to do that work. He is an disturbing individual.
Yeah well we have a sick and insane society. Everyones actions and inactions effect everything in this world ….

I suffer from mental illness and I would never hurt anyone,so I get beyond mad when "mental illness is used as scapegoat and cover up for evilness. Rotten in jail. RIP 👼👼❤❤😪
Such a peculiar case. I wonder how many times in a history a man with zero criminal record,no ties to any other murder or violent crime what so ever, at the age of 50 decided to kill two young girls. How many psychopaths kill their first victim when they are in their fifties?
Richard Alllen is currently 52 years old, and the murders occurred in 2017, so he was 45 years old at the time. Just being technical; still does not disprove your point.
There are men in they early 30s or 40s that dress nice walk they dogs speak pleasant drink Starbucks and jog in the park everyday who have probably committed a murder and got away with it because the victim was probably someone the world deem as useless or unimportant to the eyes of most Americans
There's a chance he had been fantasizing about it for years.. or he's done something similar, maybe not as far as killing but violence and never got caught.
I just want to say that I hope those two precious girls rest in paradise in the arms of Jesus I can't imagine what their last few minutes on this Earth were like they were pure how done by pure evil and I know that they're in a way better place they are in love and light and jesus's arms and I hope that people remember these two girls I hope that they do something in their honor and their neighborhood to remember them like make some type of park or maybe even a restaurant or something in their name to remember them it's so sad and so scary that our children can't even take a walk without sociopaths and psychopaths wanting to harm them
The Jesus who let this happen? He didn't protect them this time, why on Earth would they ever expect him to do so next time? Run to your binky, Simpleton. Run and hide.
Thank God justice has finally been served for Abby and Libby, this man needs to ask for the families forgiveness because it would help bring peace to the families and he needs to forgive himself. I know it has been years but at least this case is closed and it can be put to rest.
