@hiddentruecrime I know you and your followers are thoughtful and kind people. I know this case has brought a lot of strong and opposing opinions. But, you were the ones who introduced me to this case and the holes you saw early on e were what sparked my interest. I would hope you would follow your investigative inclinations and not let the story end with the sentencing. When justice is not served, no one feels closure. I understand the impulse to want to be right, but in this case there are so many things that were not fully vetted, and I hope you will consider the other side and use your investigative skills, now that the gag order has been lifted and we are in the post-sentence phase.
I am so pleased they acknowledged how she followed up on the tip that no one was aware of. She is the reason there is justice today for Libby and Abby! So heartbreaking, 💜🩵💜🩵💜🩵💜🩵

Thank you Lauren for going back to Delphi to attend Richard’s sentencing and bringing us back into the courtroom. Most importantly, thank you for reading the victim impact statements with the conviction that was in their words. I really appreciate hearing their passion for what they all had to say to that monster. Powerful stuff. You’re amazing at what you do x
Wow, some powerful words from the family. They are amazing people. To pull themselves together enough to be able to speak so eloquently is so admirable. I’m so sorry for their pain and suffering. I hope their words live and haunt RA forever. I hope he is put through humiliation and fear every day of the rest of his life. He is a monster. Lauren you at the best at bringing updates. So glad you were able to get back to Delphi. Thank you. I pray you can heal from the horrors you have had to hear and see to cover this. Thankfully you have Dr John who I’m sure is a huge supporter. God bless the family of these girls and the town of Delphi. Hugs and much love to everyone.
I lost my son (to natural causes) in May. Carrie Timmons' words resonated so much with me. It is hard enough to lose a child the way I did, I can not imagine how horrible it is to have to know that a monster chose to end the life of your beautiful, healthy child. My heart goes out to the families of Abby and Libby. Fly high sweet angels.
Lauren, thank you. Those victim impact statements were so powerful!! When I heard that RA rolled his eyes at the judge it told me everything I need to know about him. Merry Christmas to you and Dr. John.❤🎄
Thank you so much, Lauren, I became a member here and on your Patreon because I respect so much how you and your husband handled this case, despite all the pushback from those who bought into the defense narrative, the insults, and the attacks you stood for what you believed in. I share your views on this case and believe justice was served. I wish the families healing and peace.
Thank you so much for sharing the victims voices . These families will always be in my thoughts and prayers. I have been blessed to meet Becky and Kelsi and they are wonderful people who did not deserve to lose Libby and did not deserve how so many treated them . Thank you for being an ethical voice in this heartbreaking case .
I had a thought that after appeals and the defense lawyers move on and leave Richard Allen alone, and given his dependent personality, he may confess again. He is manipulative and gullible but once people aren't in his ear anymore, he may decide to tell the truth again. For the 64th time. (?)
It was stated that RA family was encouraged NOT to be there, the defense team wanted to show defiance and had the family stay home to exhibit non acceptance of the verdict. Court TV is now trying to entertain his innocents by discussing odenism and how it's "relevant. Only relevance to me is if RA was an odenist because he was the only man or men seen there. Period. He was tried by a jury of his peers he chose who unequivocally found him GUILTY. So in closing they are still going hard with the appeal and is adement it was a odenistic sacrifice. Smh.... 🤬 It's not over sadly for Abby and libbys family. The defence is disgusting by dragging these family members through the mud. If they don't have a person of interest they can prove did this crime, then they need to let this go and stop entertaining ideologies to set RA free. It's about those children not RA since he has confessed 61 times, wore and admitted such the same thing as BG. There is so much more.... he is GUILTY. THE JURY GOT IT RIGHT!
I gather from your comments that you think this is a ridiculous theory. I did too when I initially read about it. What Court TV did not get into is that Erica is from the area - a long time Victim's Advocate and private investigator who was not allowed to speak about the trial for the past 2 years due to the gag order. She refused to sign onto the case when she was initially approached because she wanted nothing to do with it. Then she looked into the discovery and came to believe in RA's innocence. She is just one person who has raised reasonable questions about this case. All I'm saying is that it is much harder for people to believe in the innocence of one man when they are primed to believe in the prosecution and law enforcement.
Lauren, thank you again for sharing Delphi with us and especially the statements of the families of Abby and Libby. Your compassion and dedication are evident as always. I hope you stay safe and have a blessed holiday.
Thank you for an outstanding job covering this trial. You are by far the BEST! :) Now Abby and Libby can rest in peace and hopefully the doubters will see that they were wrong when more evidence is released.💙💜💙💜
Lauren your hair looks beautiful!!! Replay crew over here. Thank you for your amazing coverage! You were born for this! We all appreciate you 😀. I hope you, John and B have a very Merry Christmas! Prayers for Abby and Libby’s families. I can’t imagine how tough daily life is, let alone holidays 🥺.
Lauren you handled this tragedy with such grace, compassion and gave the victims a voice. You and Dr. John are truly a blessing to victims and their families. Wishing you both a wonderful Christmas.
Big hugs to you, and Dr. John, Lauren. The impact statements always get me to tears, because there really are no words to describe the feelings that are felt in these cases. God Bless.
You have done a great job on this coverage. This crime has affected our whole state of Indiana in a very difficult way. Thank the Lord this evil man is off the streets
Sorry for what your state has gone through, and while I disagree with your assessment of Richard Allen, I hope that this trial will bring to light some change and eventually restore confidence in the public servants we are supposed to be able to trust.
The unsettling in our state is not law enforcement. It is the brutal killing of these two percious girls. That someone could be so evil to do this. Law enforcement can only do so much. Unfortunately people blame them instead of looking at all the facts. There is no person on this earth who are perfect, we all make mistakes on a daily. Usually other than the victims families, there is no one other than law enforcement who want these crimes solved. Especially the ones who have to deal with the crime scene and see the victims. I say put the blame where it lies, the offender. After all the evidence I do believe it is Richard Allen but if you don't believe it's him, put your anger towards who you believe is guilty! Those girls were brutally murdered and their families have to live with that until they leave this earth. If the people who believe Allen isn't guilty, then pull all your resources together and hire someone who can find and prove otherwise! We had an execution here in IN of a man who killed his whole family but to his dying day would not take responsibility for it saying he was innocent. Our prisons are full of "innocent" people who refuse to admit guilt. I for one believe Allen is one of those.
Thank you for bringing the event as it happens. I hope you get to write a book witnessing your journey in this horrific case. Your perspective is compassionate, detailed and factual. It matters. Ricky never should waste another nickel of the limited resources while rubbing salt, and pepper, on their wounds.
All these victim statements were so powerful and heartfelt. They really depicted Abbey and Libby. They were so loved by their family's. RA was a predator and a coward who is now hiding behind his Bible, but its all a game, like the Attorney that continues to rub his back, all games. The Judge saw through the Shenanigans and gave the ultimate punishment, thankfully. Hopefully the family members have finally some closure and peace. They so deserve it. Thankyou Lauren for your superb work and dedication to this Case, bringing the truth. May Abby and Libby Rest In Peace. Regards from Ireland 🇮🇪 💚💚🎄
Thank you for all you do. You cover every case with such care and kindness. I can tell you’re an empathetic, and deeply compassionate person. We need more like you guys in this world! Merry Christmas, happy holidays everyone. 🎉❤
Beautiful, real, thorough, honest & from your heart, Lauren. YOU are the brightest, shining, valuable GEM!! Love & Blessings this Holiday! Michele ❤😊🎉❤

I am grateful we had you, Lauren to guide us on this journey. All blessings to you, sis. And to Dr. Bae and your little boy. I will never forget you and will follow whatever you report on in the future. 😎❤️
Beautiful Lauren i so admire your devotion to the girls and their justice. Being there 4 days before Christmas for the sentencing is incredibly selfless of you. From my family to yours I wish you, John and your wee family a very merry Christmas and safe and happy new year ❤🎉
Powerful words from the victims families - prayers & love to them all. Lauren you did a great service to the victims & families. Dr John's words & insight have been helpful for us to try & understand this nightmare. Thankyou both
Thank you Lauren for all of your hard work on this case and taking us there. We are all so glad justice was served. RA does not deserve such comfort from counsel… he is a coward and he will have to live with the impact of his awful deeds. Hoping for Justice to continue in prison and his remaining time in earth will be hellacious like it was for Abby and Libby!
Thank you, Lauren for your amazing reporting skills and integrity while covering this case. Much like what I observed with your coverage of other cases. Your empathy is a reflection of the impact lives stolen have ultimately impact you as well. I hope you get a little self care in over the Christmas holiday. ❤
I burst into tears at the conclusion of your recitation of the first victim impact statement. Every time I think of the girls I say a prayer for them, their families, RA, & RA’s families. Awful beyond words. If I had stood up to make a statement I would have just sobbed the entire time. 💔😢
Hi gems. Lauren I’m so sorry I have Been absent . Had emergency surgery for appendix removal, then Covid and then food poisoning . I promise to heal so that I can offer more mod support. My granddaughter was born this morning as well. Life is never fair or uncomplicated but I promise I will return . I will be home alone for the entire Christmas holiday 😢 if you can hear that that’s my heart breaking !!! If you have shows I hope the notifications work . They are spotty . Sending you all my love and best wishes for your Christmas season !! I ❤
Bless you in your healing! I had Covid last December! My birthday is on December 7th! I was horribly ill the entire month. This year, I’ve had a horrible ear and sinus infection! But haven’t made it to the dr. Yet. I have an appointment on Monday. So I will see if I have a bad infection or it’s just viral. May you feel better soon and find comfort. Please know you are acknowledged! If you see this! A fellow 💎!
Lauren, you gave Abby, Libby and their families a voice today and throughout the entire trial. If nothing else, know that. I don’t know how you got through reading these impact statements but I thank you. I thank you for EVERYTHING you’ve done to contribute to justice for Abby & Libby. 🩵
Thank you Lauren for going to Delphi and sharing what you heard. Fir sharing these Victim Impact Statements. Continued 🙏🏻🙏🏻for Libby & Abby’s Families & Friends, the Community, and LE and may Peace come.
That’s wild! And I wanted to add this happened to my niece one day when her and my daughter, two cousins were talking about the Ramsey case and my daughter said “maybe the mother was involved and helped stage the note?” And my nieces nose just started bleeding profusely! Like super bad too’ it’s always blown my mind so strange that happened to you!
Wow!! This was powerful!! I am bawling my eyes out. You are amazing and when you read those statements I felt like I was actually there in the courtroom. Thank you for your awesome coverage of this case.
This is a perspective that is different. The families’ tone instills in my the fact he is indeed guilty. They have no skepticism, they are confident in their feelings and made them loud and clear. They have no doubt.
Thank you Lauren for your incredible work & bringing us all the information regarding this behind closed doors case. Listening to the victims impact statements was utterly devastating, they've been silenced for so long & today was their day to be heard. RIP Abby & Libby. May you rot Allen.
Rolling his eyes tells me everything. If I was innocent I’d have the balls to speak up for myself regardless. And he should feel sorry for what he did…. After ALLLLLL his confessions now he’s rolling his eyes. He’s just remorseless! Period. He is a manipulator. And his wife knows IN HER GUT!
Please have Richard Allen's defense attorneys on. If Lori Vallow can believe the crazy Mormon stuff, Richard Allen's conviction needs to be overturned. Big fan of you and John from Texas!
I wish the judge would have lifted the gag/no press order for the sentencing so that the victims’ families could be heard publicly. But I’m not sure how the families feel about that (maybe they were glad there was no video while giving their statements?). Regardless, thank you for sharing their statements. I am grateful that the judge gave RA the maximum. He certainly deserves it for what he has done and how difficult he has made (and continues to make) things for the families of the victims. I am with (I think it was Libby’s?) grandfather. I can understand the defense’s ETHICAL roll in our justice system and I can additionally understand RA’s family’s grief for their loss. But I cannot understand what I see as unethical actions by both of these parties that have been causing additional hell for the victims’ families. Additionally, RA’s wife not being there today to hear the family’s impact statements feels disrespectful to me. I imagine her staying home because they have been told by the defense that the sentencing hearing is just something that they have to do as part of the process but that it doesn’t matter if she’s there because they are going to get a new trial anyway. Of course that is wild speculation, but it’s what comes to mind seeing her not bothering to come today after she left the trial defiantly saying “this is not over.” There are definitely practices that defense attorneys are able to get away with that cross an ethical line for me. It seems there are ethical defense attorneys and those that are willing to do anything to get ahead, regardless of how that promotes lies or hurts people. Smh, this has been such a hard case. Thank you for your faithfulness in bringing us the truth. I’m grateful for the jury and for the ultimate outcome. May every single one of RA’s appeals fall on utterly deaf ears and may RA’s time with other inmates bring the gift of karma’s justice into his life.
Thank you for sticking with Abby and Libby ,the families and mostly for seeking and speaking the truth ,not the hateful and shameful agenda put out by soulless defence atourneys..For that I'm so thankful for you 💜💛💜💛💜💛 Merry Christmas and blessed New Year
I love knowing Allen was alone. I love that this trial is over. I cannot imagine the hell of either girls families or loved ones. I still believe Allen was there for the girls through follow the shots account. I believe there's more to it. But it's over. Abby and Libby rest in peace. You won girls, he will never hurt anyone again
This is absolutely heart wrenching and it doesn’t even come close to showing what the family experience and feel every day for all these years, and sadly will continue to. I pray if this man is truly guilty he has the little decency he may have to answer all their questions. It’s the very least he can do after all he brutally yanked from these girls and loved ones. They deserve to have their story told and their entire story, not just what LE was able to gather and fill in for the families, friends of these special people and the community. I pray these families somehow can live a life Abby and Libby wish for them (although I know that’s not even feasible.)💔 Love they are vowing to remember the girls for the memories they hold dear, for their beautiful souls and not allow this demon to leave them with the visions and unanswered questions he has chosen to torture everyone with.
This verdict will absolutely be appealed and should be. As for Richard Allen rolling his eyes. Aside from perhaps being disrespectful which is understandable being that the judge was clearly biased, what would you expect? Remorse? Why should someone show remorse for a verdict that he/she believes is unjust? Expressions of remorse is for the guilty. Be that as it may, I enjoy your channel, but you've got this one wrong.
The fact that he is bringing that bible in as a prop for everyone to see just shows he is a master manipulator. When someone shows you who they are……believe them
I will be live on Websleuths tonight at 10:30 talking about the sentencing today:

And I wanted to add this happened to my niece one day when her and my daughter, two cousins were talking about the Ramsey case and my daughter said “maybe the mother was involved and helped stage the note?” And my nieces nose just started bleeding profusely! Like super bad too’ it’s always blown my mind so strange that happened to you!
So heartbreaking. Thank you for being there, Lauren.
Wow!! This was powerful!! I am bawling my eyes out. You are amazing and when you read those statements I felt like I was actually there in the courtroom. Thank you for your awesome coverage of this case.
This is a perspective that is different. The families’ tone instills in my the fact he is indeed guilty. They have no skepticism, they are confident in their feelings and made them loud and clear. They have no doubt.
Lauren Thank You for your great coverage of this crime and the trial. ❤ Rest in Peace Abby and Libby You were taken way to soon 😢
Merry Christmas to John and Lauren and family
Thank you Lauren, you are media goldmine, and very appreciated.
Thank you Lauren for your incredible work & bringing us all the information regarding this behind closed doors case. Listening to the victims impact statements was utterly devastating, they've been silenced for so long & today was their day to be heard. RIP Abby & Libby. May you rot Allen.
Thanks Lauren!
Rolling his eyes tells me everything. If I was innocent I’d have the balls to speak up for myself regardless. And he should feel sorry for what he did…. After ALLLLLL his confessions now he’s rolling his eyes. He’s just remorseless! Period. He is a manipulator. And his wife knows IN HER GUT!
Merry Christmas 🎄 Thank you!❤
Brad and Andy . Real low lifes they really did leak those crime scene photos
Please have Richard Allen's defense attorneys on. If Lori Vallow can believe the crazy Mormon stuff, Richard Allen's conviction needs to be overturned.
Big fan of you and John from Texas!
I wish the judge would have lifted the gag/no press order for the sentencing so that the victims’ families could be heard publicly. But I’m not sure how the families feel about that (maybe they were glad there was no video while giving their statements?). Regardless, thank you for sharing their statements. I am grateful that the judge gave RA the maximum. He certainly deserves it for what he has done and how difficult he has made (and continues to make) things for the families of the victims.
I am with (I think it was Libby’s?) grandfather. I can understand the defense’s ETHICAL roll in our justice system and I can additionally understand RA’s family’s grief for their loss. But I cannot understand what I see as unethical actions by both of these parties that have been causing additional hell for the victims’ families.
Additionally, RA’s wife not being there today to hear the family’s impact statements feels disrespectful to me. I imagine her staying home because they have been told by the defense that the sentencing hearing is just something that they have to do as part of the process but that it doesn’t matter if she’s there because they are going to get a new trial anyway. Of course that is wild speculation, but it’s what comes to mind seeing her not bothering to come today after she left the trial defiantly saying “this is not over.”
There are definitely practices that defense attorneys are able to get away with that cross an ethical line for me. It seems there are ethical defense attorneys and those that are willing to do anything to get ahead, regardless of how that promotes lies or hurts people.
Smh, this has been such a hard case. Thank you for your faithfulness in bringing us the truth. I’m grateful for the jury and for the ultimate outcome. May every single one of RA’s appeals fall on utterly deaf ears and may RA’s time with other inmates bring the gift of karma’s justice into his life.
Libbys parents created a wrath of destruction years ago. Derrick was a father and husband too. Its like calling the kettle black.
Thank you for sticking with Abby and Libby ,the families and mostly for seeking and speaking the truth ,not the hateful and shameful agenda put out by soulless defence atourneys..For that I'm so thankful for you 💜💛💜💛💜💛
Merry Christmas and blessed New Year
I love knowing Allen was alone. I love that this trial is over. I cannot imagine the hell of either girls families or loved ones. I still believe Allen was there for the girls through follow the shots account. I believe there's more to it. But it's over. Abby and Libby rest in peace. You won girls, he will never hurt anyone again
Thanks for being a voice. May God Bless you!❤️
Thank you Lauren. I’ve seen others who claim to be “reporting”on this trial completely disregard the impact on the victims.
This is absolutely heart wrenching and it doesn’t even come close to showing what the family experience and feel every day for all these years, and sadly will continue to. I pray if this man is truly guilty he has the little decency he may have to answer all their questions. It’s the very least he can do after all he brutally yanked from these girls and loved ones. They deserve to have their story told and their entire story, not just what LE was able to gather and fill in for the families, friends of these special people and the community. I pray these families somehow can live a life Abby and Libby wish for them (although I know that’s not even feasible.)💔 Love they are vowing to remember the girls for the memories they hold dear, for their beautiful souls and not allow this demon to leave them with the visions and unanswered questions he has chosen to torture everyone with.
I missed it yesterday! But saw the sentence! GOOD!! So glad!
Voice of the surviving victims. Superb Lauren. Your coverage has been amazing.
Thankyou so much Lauren! Ur compassion and humanity r heart warming! U have done Abby and Libby proud sweetheart! ❤ X
Thank you, Lauren . 🌷
Why can't you be happy for justice? I'M SO SIICK of not calling it like very it is! I was so happy to hear justice was served!
I give Major respect to these family members their impact statements were professional, direct, and well spoken.
So disgusted with the defense.
Thank you for this coverage.
Remember RA wanted plead guilty and apologize to the family but his wife wouldn’t let him and lawyers were called immediately
Thank you Lauren, at last, we can hear the families voices, 🩵💜 L&A🕊
Thank you Lauren. That was very courageous of you and for giving a voice to the sweet young girls families.
Thank you. I know how difficult this was for you. You are appreciated.
This verdict will absolutely be appealed and should be. As for Richard Allen rolling his eyes. Aside from perhaps being disrespectful which is understandable being that the judge was clearly biased, what would you expect? Remorse? Why should someone show remorse for a verdict that he/she believes is unjust? Expressions of remorse is for the guilty. Be that as it may, I enjoy your channel, but you've got this one wrong.
Lauren you did an awesome job!!!
WEll done for all your coverage...a true star.💫 Thankfully resolution for A n L`s circle of family n friends...xxx...💙💜
Thank you Lauren.
Thanks for covering this story
Fly high Abby & Libby 🙏
The fact that he is bringing that bible in as a prop for everyone to see just shows he is a master manipulator. When someone shows you who they are……believe them
Thank you for sharing their voices, even though that was really hard
THANK YOU LAUREN! 😢
MY HEART GOES OUT TO ALL THE FAMILIES AND FRIENDS OF ABBY AND LIBBY. GOD REST THEY'RE SOULS. 💔🙏🕊
His attorneys make me sick.
