•Bodies appeared to be moved and staged. •Police felt a souvenir may have taken.
•A article of clothing was missing.
• The girls may have been photographed.
These are things that a serial killer does. He was 45 at the time, I think. A little late in life for the 1st time and a double-header at that. So...who else is dead who shouldn't be?
Exactly, this isn’t a one and done…
There's rumors of it being like a snuff film type thing
Evansdale maybe? But then again you'd think if they have DNA here it would have immediately hit there.
@@cotyjames9709 Unless it's all contaminated. Also he had no record just driving without a seat belt
I know right, but it’s possible that he’s a burgeoning killer, just getting started. I have a good feeling that he left forensic evidence behind at the scene. They just needed to find the person that matched it
I have been following this story for a few years. I am so thankful the families and the Delphi community can begin the next chapter.
Richard Allen was framed. This is a total scam by police because they have no case. So they went with Allen. He is the Lee Harvey Oswald of this case. Poor guy
I have a strange feeling they have the wrong guy......😓
@@feartheghostinme675
They don't.
Same, from here in Canada.
@@feartheghostinme675 I agree. Even if he was on the bridge it doesn't make him the killer.
How could nobody recognise him from a small town, how could his wife and family not know him from the video and voice
Exactly, the clothes, his walk, i can spot my mom from super far away. I can recognize my gf from behind from blocks away. Shoot I’m sure we can recognize our family by their foot steps or the way their keys jingle when they come home.
@@NANotApplicable just bizarre and living 5 minutes away from Bridge and there is pictures of him on that bridge with his own daughter so his family had to know it was him from that video and pictures and voice and clothes and walk
Wife knew bro.. they leaving the investigation open for fellow people to open up. There’s more to this.
@@NANotApplicable Couldn't agree more!
Sociopaths and psychopaths are chameleons who gaslight and bully the people closest to them. They are master manipulators…DrJekyl/MrHyde.
You don’t celebrate a arrest, you celebrate the conviction!
Makes me mad that this guy was enjoying his life while abby and Libby’s family were suffering .i won’t be surprised if he is linked to other unsolved murders .
His audacity and evilness to be smiling in the face of the whole town while they were all beside themselves with grief just floors me. What a psychopath.
And he likely saw them. I can’t even imagine
Glad I’m not on trial with you people as jurors you have seen zero evidence and have him convicted. Cops never arrest the wrong person. This cop crying is playing to potential jurors high on emotion low on facts and evidence.
@@MiturBinEsderty First time true criming I see.
Libby was so smart solving her own murder mystery 🙏🏾
May their beautiful souls rest in peace
You are very scary. 🥰
Well she didn't solve her own "murder mystery" that we know of yet. After almost 6 years it wasn't the video that led the cops there
They are also working with what she provided. It's a big peace in their investigation
It’s not solved
@@coastalgirldiaries80 : remember, the same video and audio file was also used to obtain a probable cause warrant on Ronald Logan. So… at this point the video montage and audio file could be used as evidence against almost every man in Delphi!
Hello from Ontario, Canada. I clearly remember hearing about this case on the news and hearing updates from time to time over the years. It horrified me as it just goes to show how dangerous the world can be. The murder of these two beautiful young girls was shocking. When I read of the arrest of the suspect today I thought about the families of the girls and hoped that they can find a lot of justice and some peace.
I feel so sorry for the girls and their family…this is awful. And also to the land owner who died. This probably sent him to an early grave.
He died from covid they said
RL sat in county lock up for two weeks.
@@derek234 yeah, except EVERY death was "from covid" during that time period bc the attendant hospital rcvd $33K per death they deemed so, even without any positive test documented. Just saying..
@@23buzzchopper on a probation violation. He had several dui charges.
@@lexirae7889 oh I'm not arguing those FACTS at all. The pandemic was a huge money scheme
"I don't know the gentleman." Wow, the grandfather either has a lot of restraint or he's wayyyy too nice!!
I still think that’s the mf that did it. Richards innocent and the mob finally has their “suspect”. They can charge ANYBODY and everyone will be like “get him off the streets kill him! We’ve been given no evidence and the cops are trying to rush the case and hes possibly innocent but I’m mad so someones got to pay!!”
Mike Patty said he will have something to say to him when he sees him face to face.
I reacted on that too, probably and hopefully he is used to say more gentleman so he just slipped without any mind. But yes preferable just man or even i dont know that s head man.
@@mintpastill , or at the very least "monster"!
They seem a little shell shocked
The fact that the bodies were moved and staged is consistent with the theory that Allen is connected to Kegan Kline and perhaps took photos of the crime scene to distribute or sell. If true, how horrific for these little girls to continue to be victimized even after their death. They are the same age as my oldest daughter and she's in college now. Abby and Libby will never have that experience. So heartbreaking.
yes I definitely believe that Keegan Klime is involved
What do u mean moved and staged? And who is Kegan Kline?
@@billblaski9523 he was first person brought in for questioning a good while back. He was speaking to one of the girls through a fake profile posing as a young boy their age. It looks like he’s done some sort of deal with the police to give RA’s name and involvement up. Speculation is that it’s a paedophile ring or some sort of organised crime of that nature. There is suggestion bodies were posed - possibility could have filmed or documented it. Very disgusting all round, those poor children.
I think it was Kegan cline
I absolutely think they should keep that avidavit sealed for now. If they release things that only they know and the killer know, Allen's knowledge of it can't be used against him. They've kept this case locked down the whole time and while yeh I want to see it as much as anyone, I want to make sure they convict the right guy more.
Exactly people are more curious about details than letting the officers do their jobs. There is reason why they can’t release info right now if we want justice for these girls we need to be patient and let the officers do their jobs and handle it they know what they are doing.
Maybe if they had released some things, it wouldn't have taken 5 years?
Exactly. Law enforcement is not there to soothe our curiousity. I'm more than happy to stay in the dark if this monster gets the conviction if he did it
My thoughts exactly. Keep the affidavit sealed & let the investigation continue as long as needed. Our curiosity isn't important! Justice 4 Abby & Libby IS!!!
@@manfredfritz6068 Maybe dirty cops?
I grew up with my father and paternal grandparents living in nearby Camden, IN. We had to go through Delphi to get there. Nearly every weekend and every school holiday from three years old until I was eighteen. I know nearly every square inch of Delphi and Carroll County and although a lot has changed over the years, this is the type of thing that you just don't expect to happen. You hear people talk about how you don't think things like that will ever happen in your backyard, but Delphi is the type of place where you just don't expect this sort of thing to happen at all. I think that's the most shocking part of this whole story to me.
I think some people have been getting frustrated with the slow progress of this investigation, but this is certainly a case where the authorities are being very, very careful to leave no stone unturned, to do every single thing by the book, dot every i, cross every t, and ensure the textbook perfect prosecution of this case. This is not the type of thing you want to gather worldwide attention on your sleepy little country town, but the diligence of the investigators and the way the departments have worked together on this is something everyone should acknowledge and applaud.
Long-winded much?
@@honeybadger9074 Reading's hard, isn't it?
@@JalenRawley Nobody cares where you grew up, idiot,
@@billburns7721 You cared enough to say something, didnt ya? Now, get back in your hole. Nobody wants anything from you.
@@honeybadger9074
Negative much?
Those beautiful babies. I hope that justice gets served and that the guilty are punished appropriately.
They got him the officers know exactly what they are doing and I think have been on to him for some time. They don’t release all the info as to not hinder the investigation there are some really good men out there passionate about bringing justice to these girls.
I believe this is not his first rodeo.. he's done this before. He just got caught this time. Now, the girls and families can rest ❤🕊 🙏
I have a strange feeling they have the wrong guy......😓
@@feartheghostinme675 They have the right guy he is guilty..
@@davidkoonz4336 How about we stick to the middle ground of “innocent until proven guilty” with faith that the police know what they’re doing. No need to go to either extreme.
@@feartheghostinme675 they couldn't arrest him and say this without SOME evidence
Man he’s creepy. Glad they got him poor baby girls probably were so scared. Justice for these poor girls 😢
I feel bad for his own daughter, too; she looks a lot like Libby, who was the focus of the attack. They have the same exact build, and Libby was even younger. So sick.
@@lillaurap yeah. I saw the pic with the blurred face where she was sitting on the bridge and I am like why are they blurring Libbys face? I mean I wouldnt jump to the conclusion he was trying to attack his own daughter but the fact he could kill someone while having a daughter just like her is what is evil.
I mean he could be completely innocent at this point especially since they won't even release the PC for arrest... he has no record and every single person said he was a nice guy in public... let's here some fucking facts before everyone condemns this man to hell.... ps dude does look like sketch one a little and does have the serial killer vibe tho tbh lol
@@Moneyovertruth *hear first of all.
@@Moneyovertruth He was setup. He didnt do anyhting. I know him. Police have no case and are grasping at straws thats why the case is sealed. He is another Lee Harvey Oswald
Keep an eye on your children at all times. It's a wonderful dangerous world out there.
Exactly
They are from a small hick town
No. Kids need freedom. Don’t let criminals take that away from you or them
@@___DRIP___ unfortunately their are predators EVERYWHERE for kids to have freedom nowadays
@@misguidedangel6550 There really isn’t that many. In fact, crime has consistently declined over the decades, not gone up. Don’t let them win. You can give your kids freedom without being negligent. Just be careful about steering them into the safer places, while still respecting their autonomy.
Who knows what he put those children through. Too horrible to contemplate.
I’m so happy that this man has been caught. I hope all the people involved can finally find closure.
Closure is such a ridiculous word. If somebody kills your loved one in such a brutal manner, do you think you're gonna ever get over it?
I live in Alabama and I have been following this case for the last 5 years I am glad someone is finally arrested.
“I live in Alabama” I’m very sorry to hear that. Sending prayers
Don’t be a dink
Feel terrible for Ron Logan. I can’t imagine what he has went through behind this as well. Truly shook the town to it’s core. Evil can live anywhere… hope justice is soon served. This case has stuck with me not quite like any other in recent memory. Thought it would never be solved honestly.
others also could have been involved though...why did Ron ask his brother to lie to police about the timeliness for him?
@@joy-115 Ron has been cleared and is no longer a person of interest. Outside of some wild conspiracy theory shit it’s almost insulting to imply he had anything to do with it at this point. His concern about his whereabouts that day had to do with him being on some kind of driving probation or something similar at the time but I could be mistaken/mixing details. Something like that though. All that being said, you are correct, I do believe there is at least one more person involved but, again, I do not think that person is Ron Logan.
@@chromegnats yes you're probably right. Maybe Keegan and his Dad then? I think there were 3 and that makes the most sense to me
@@chromegnats NO ONE is cleared!!
@@debbie.doodle_ yes, they most certainly are.
My thoughts and prayers for the families. I myself lost a family member survivor of a family member murdered
I hope that your heart can heal.
Hugs from Canada.

@@abelis644 it's been 22 years & I had to testify. It seems like yesterday sometimes
I'm so sorry to hear that.
Greetings from Denmark! 🇩🇰 Good work ISP.
I'm sure someone else knew he was BG
As an American I found it interesting how Europeans cared so much about this case
@@feartheghostinme675 I've been following this case for years and thought about it every day.
I think it's the first time that the whole world came together to solve one murder case?
When I saw the news of the arrest I felt nervous and was shaken a bit and I don't know why because I've never been to America, so I was a bit surprised of my physical reaction.
It's really strange that they disappeared on the 13'th and that the arrest-press conference was on Halloween. Both things are associated with evil.
What happened was horrible but it was a beautiful thing how we all united around the girls and went to war against evil.
🛡️🪖⚔️🙏✝️🙏⚔️🪖🛡️
I hope they are 100 percent evidence and he doesn’t get off. Praying 🙏🏾 for all families involved ❤
Me too.
Trust this is the right guy
If they have the right guy. He's already pled not guilty something I don't think he and his lawyer would do if they had DNA evidence against him, they would be making a deal
JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED!FOR THESE TWO GIRLS Thank you to all the law enforcement officers in this case May God bless all of you for a job well done.
It's not done yet...
Watching from Canada. So glad this person was finally caught. I had hoped it wouldn’t take decades to come to light
Kind of creepy you candanians looking down on us 😱😂
thats if they got the right man/men or not have too wait till things come out what they got on him or them
Thank you to all who bring this investigation to this point. I pray all involved will be also be brought to justice!
I think there were 2 perpetrators in this crime. The other sketch looks strikingly similar to Kegan Kline, and it would explain how the 2 girls were overpowered so quickly.
That’s a good theory I think
I’m so happy they found him. 😢
Happy that they have closure.
I heard it wasn't him
@@Moneyovertruth that’s what I heard, I wanna know what probable cause they have on Alan
@@buttdreads agree, although I'm glad they found a potential suspect, is it really the guy who killed the children, and what hard evidence for they have that he did it?
@@joanlynch5271 They dont and wont. Allen didnt do it..
Thank you channel 13 for your coverage of this case
I am so deeply sorry for these girls and their families. This case has been heavy in my heart for years. 🙏🏼🕊️ finally Justice for Abby and Libby.
He should be handed over to the parents of those girls.
He’s innocent until PROVEN guilty
@@jskyler7 Ok. *If* he's guilty he should be turned over to the parents.
@@jskyler7 Oddly enough though, he says he's innocent.
@@jskyler7 People don't generally get picked up for something like double homicide five years after the fact if there isn't some pretty compelling evidence though. It's probably not looking good for him
That bridge is just creepy. Looks dangerous too. I just don’t understand why they went walk out there in the first place. I know this comment doesn’t change anything. Prayers to the families.
I would Never have let my child to go out there !
there’s not much to do BUT explore in Indiana esp at that age and trying to stay out of trouble. They were just minding their business
It was very irresponsible to let them go there.
But the timeline shows the girls were just away from family for 1 hr roughly. After the sister drops them off, people, like a female jogger, see them and the girls take pics. Bridge guy shows up barely 30 minutes before dad is calling them and telling them to get to the parking lot bc he’s pulling up soon. This is broad daylight, other normal people were out that day, these girls weren’t 8 years old. Their families gave them 40-55 minutes of freedom, and the girls were communicating on SM with their friends, etc. for that first 15 minutes of that free time, at least. It’s ridiculous that we have people like bridge guy who would so brazenly do this. I’m sure we’ll find out he used some kind of weapon to intimidate them and he probably has threatened his family with weapon before, but LE wasn’t told or didn’t do anything. Just a theory
I don’t want anyone bothering his family, but it’s really hard to believe she didn’t know.
Some people are really that good at concealing parts of them they don't want known. Even from their spouse.
This case doesnt make sense. I hope they have the right guy
@@trishexploring1508 BTK killer was a church Elder.
@@nonyabizz3533 They dont. This is a stunt
U r a sexist? Faced with a male criminal you can't cope, you have to find a way to blame the innocent females. Or are you saying RA must be innocent? Hard to tell.
Nearly 6 years of everyday hell for the families...
Hopefully Justice for the 2 angels is imminent.
RIP
Hallelujah! Abby and Libby so deserve to get justice for what that creep did to them! May these lovely little girls continue to rest in heavenly peace! I hope prison justice catches up with him! I see you dancing in the sky!
Prayers for the Williams & German families ❤
Unfortunately we are far from this being over. Trials going to keep this going I'd bet for at least 2 more years.
True but at the very least he’s unable to hurt anyone else behind bars
That’s if he doesn’t commit suicide they usually only check on them every 20 mins
@@Graciemaecoleman he is right where he belongs . This creep is the murderer 🤢
@@socal_ian817 he did it fo’sho
Guys locked up with him might have an opinion about what he did.....if you know what I mean.
I hope justice will be served for those two young ladies.
If he did in fact have anything to do with the abduction/murder of Abby and Libby, I wonder if he had help or if he belongs to 'one of the groups'? These people who commit this type of crime, DO FIT INTO the community! People are so shocked about how 'out and about' this guy is/was! These people can pass as charismatic, charming, wonderful people!!!! Victims will know what I am referring to. Soon, when/if they release the information on these 'papers' that have not been revealed to the public, we will know more.
There is a strong belief that he was the mysterious 3rd user of the snapchat account with keegan kline and kline father.
Edit: (speculation of course).
He is the killer.
@@nicklabar1145 🤔....wut if? RA wasi in communication with the Anthony Shots account? Ya know? If he was lured there thinking he was to meet the young man & some how he was linked to the Snapchat of Libby and when he saw the pics of them on the bridge 🤔 possibly he acted in a revengeable fashion? He thinking those 2 young girls played him but in fact it was The Kline(s) possibly puppeteering the entire encounter that day?
Sociopaths
Psychopaths are known to be charming. Ted Bundy was charismatic & handsome, he’d exploit it. He had a Mensa level intellect. The problem with these guys is they’re living in Fantasy & that’s what ultimately leads them toward violence.
These grief vultures are going to milk this story for every drop.
Oh they're exploiting the hell out of this one......salivating. Awful.
You’re right. It’s gross
The judge is right to hold this preliminary evidence! Innocent until proven guilty and if Richard is innocent then his rights MUST be protected!
It's a sad world kids can't play and enjoy themselves outside
No! They can't!
Maybe the whole point of all these school shooting and crap is to scare kids into staying inside on their digital monitors called phones...
They can, but they shouldn't go too far away from home, and should go places that are semi-populated instead of such isolated locations like that bridge.
The Church spread Hate = Sexust boysclub. Girls are Demonised, Dehumanised. Then Society copies the Church and boom = "pink is sh*t".
I remember watching this on ID. Sad that he murdered two babies, and went on with his life as if it was just another day. Watching these crime shows have shown me that there are people amongst us who just to see what it feels like to kill. Watch and always be circumspect in your daily lives.
no one has heard how and why this man is accused of this horrible crime...yet everyone is ready to find him guilty ....they are withholding because they no the media can be a powerful tool in prosecution. what tips do they want? story's and rumors that will be created now by people being so invested and curious...now their is a face a name to put with it....wow I truly hope they have the right person...that person deserves to be punished
Me2. The ISP has acted very odd this entire case.
Am I missing something? When was he convicted? There hasn't been a trial and they're all saying he's the one. Can we see the evidence first?
If Allen is the killer of Abby and Libby they weren't his 1st victims. The killer of those beautiful innocent young ladies is a practiced Serial killer with a unknown number of victims before and most likely after Abby and Libby. There's almost no chance that the girls were his first victims
I pray for those families, they've suffered enough! I pray for justice! Those babies deserve to get their revenge on this monster! We are all watching as we have been for the last 5 years. Prayers for an end to this extremely sad story. RIP beautiful angels. They got him! 🙏❤️
Rest In Peace, Abby and Libby and Mr Logan. Praying for you all on All Souls’ Day today 11-2-22. ❤❤❤ may these people be accepted into the kingdom of Heaven. Lord, hear this prayer 🙏🙏🙏
No way wife didn’t recognize his voice. I have to think she must have known or sensed immediately when she heard the recording and saw the image of the perpetrator. Maybe she is the key to this case breaking wide open. Prayers for the girls family. So tragic. 😢
She snapped a selfie with in, in their home, with one of the police sketch posters hanging on the wall behind them....I think she deff knew. Maybe she was in denial. But idk how she didn't at least make the connections u mentioned. Seems off to me. But I'm curious to hear more evidence on this guy. Like what was the info that made them finally arrest him. Also why are they hiding alllll of the info. The documents should be released imo bc if they've arrested him and pressed charges...they should've already made sure they had dotted all their is and crossed all their ts. Only get one chance at bring him to court after all. But we shall see!
I don't know about that I think when you've seen a man be loving with their own child you just can't possibly wrap your brain around him doing what he's done to someone else's child. I know a lot of people like in their gut know about something like an affair, but I think in the back of our all of our heads we worry that something like that might happen to us but something like this no... Look at your own husband really take a second to look at him and wonder if he could do this and try and believe that he could do this
@@dialatedxpupilzx that photo was taken at JC's bar.
@@dialatedxpupilzx Is it true he was wearing the same jacket? I think the wife helped in this case at some point. She HAD to recognize that jacket but.... maybe taking the next step to find out took time for her to comes to grip with.
The image of him walking on the bridge , she knew ! She’s been with him for a long time !! You know the outline, walk , mannerism, and clothes , jacket , shoes, etc....
If one your family members was photographed and recorded speaking from behind a screen door, it might be hard for the public to pin who it was, but not the people that lived their past 30+ years together. Especially, if she ever bought him any clothes, cared about what he wore in public, and did any laundry. She knew...the wife knew. The guy was there that day and admitted it to the police. His phone showed he was there.
Totally agree
I doubt he would wear his every day clothes to do a murder in broad daylight. Probably bought clothes she never saw and ditched them.
I’d recognize my spouses voice recording. It’d been too dangerous for em to come home.
@@pumpkinpepsi I don't think this was planned. It seems like it was a crime of opportunity.
@@pumpkinpepsi most predators act impulsively, and not a planned thing... also wouldnt have counted on being recorded
It’s human nature and instinct to want details for something so tragic and devastating and the fact that it has been a mystery for so long certainly adds to the anticipation. But in memory of those two beautiful girls it’s going to be beyond words of expression when the details eventually do come out…we should cheer and care only for true untainted justice for both of them and not put so much into the details.. who in the world really wants to know what those poor babies went through? The family is going to hear horrid things that will never leave them and can never be unheard or unseen. All in the name of justice and seeking the final judgment for the monster who hurt them! It’s going to be like reliving the entire thing over again times a billion because they will have those details to add tragedy on top of tragedy sorrow and so so much pain! I pray for them and respect law enforcement immensely for the decisions they are making to keep from exposing too much too soon and taking no chance on losing that day in court!
Would not his wife and daughter have recognized him in that video that one of the girls took? Certainly they would have recognized that jacket. People are automatically assuming that Mr Allen is guilty because he's been arrested but we must keep in mind that until a jury finds him guilty he is presumed Innocent
Have you seen the video his wife posted of her sneaking up on him sitting in the passenger seat of the car? He’s wearing what looks like the same jacket and the video was taken around that time. Just a thought.
No way innocent.... Accused
It's a plain blue jacket. Half the men in Delphi dress more or less the same.
Let's hope this is the one.
Rest in peace Abby and Libby.
You're our girls.
Even here in Canada.
Wasn’t Jonathan Logan’s cellphone pinged at two times the night before they were found on his property , once on the bridge and the other near the ravine where the bodies were found ?
There aren't that many cell phone towers in that area. It is possible that no matter where you were in that general area it would ping off the same tower.
Yes, police screwed up, it was Logan
It's never safe no matter who they catch cauee just like this man there are others out there so it's never safe and always keep your eyes n ears open n keep your self n your babies safe...
I took an interest in crime and mystery vids on TH-cam a few years ago. There are so many i stomached through and sometimes was affected so bad,i could'nt eat for a while. The story that ended that binge watching was this story. I couldn't even finish the vid. I think most people will agree that children are a little more special to everyone's hearts no matter what. I can not express in words my sorrow for their families. I hope they have the right person who did this. The documentary vid on this a few years ago messed me up so bad I couldn't finish it. It will be hard to follow this case. I just want justice like everybody else.
Please parents ALWAYS watch what your kids are doing on social media. Especially Snapchat! It’s dangerous. Keep a close eye!
I said something similar and was besieged by people accusing me of "blaming the victims." But nothing I say can hurt the girls now, and nothing you say can hurt me. We KNOW that Kegan Kline behind the Anthony_shots profile was the last one to contact one of the girls. It's extremely likely that the two girls honestly believed they were on their way to meet the attractive male model behind whose picture Kline was hiding. NONE of us parents wants to tell our kids just how seedy the dark side of the internet is. . . and that's what predators count on. My kids were more tech savvy at eight than I will ever be, so I'm not sure how effective mere "monitoring" is. The cold, harsh truth is their best protection.
Social media in itself isn’t dangerous. It’s the people that make social media what is is.
Please parents.. Don’t let your children play by themselves at the abandoned, scary places..
@@AllaVictor exactly
Parents just let tv and social media raise their kids these days.
So many rabbit holes in this case. I think they had this guy in the crosshairs for a while but needed airtight evidence to convict. The murder sheet was leaked and mentioned animal hair at the scene. Does he have a dog or was there a dog buried in the yard?
The murder sheet lol
You cannot tell me that guy’s wife didn’t recognize him in that quick video. You would be able to tell even by mannerisms and the walk. That page boy hat? That’s pretty distinct… I think I would know if my husband and had a page boy hat, plus all the rest of the similarities, I think she either knew or was in denial. So sad these little girls had to die and having his gross face be the last face they saw. Poor baby girls. What an evil and sick man. I bet he just loved talking to the families of the victims and talking about the case. Thinking he got away with it. Deriving his sick pleasure from “fooling” everyone. They were right and he was hiding in plain sight. But now he has been seen and I hope they prove their case against him. I wonder if he was ever interviewed before?
Imagine what his daughter is going through. I can't hate on the wife IF she knew or maybe had an idea because you wouldn't want your child getting caught up in that and living in fear of their father like that. Not to mention the public ridicule they are getting. Remember he is the only member of that family that did this heinous act. Can't come after the daughter or his kids for something their dad did. That's not fair nor ok. I couldn't imagine learning one day out of the blue that my father was actually the one that killed and assaulted two girls 5 years ago. I couldn't imagine what his kids are going through. Talk about an awful feeling because she will be hated now and she could literally have had nothing to do with it.
They've more than likely been watching him for a hot minute. Because they had suspicions but needed one thing to tie it all up and finally got that one thing and then made the move.
@@woowoo8801 I am not judging the daughter. It’s her dad. She is caught in the middle. I’m just saying it’s seems like it may have crossed their minds. But ultimately, most people are not going to think it’s a loved one unless there is some past history that would lead them to believe that. I feel for their whole family.
@@woowoo8801 seems like it is linked to that freak pedo Kline guy… right after they busted him it seemed like they came out with the arrest of this Richard guy…
@@birdie9240 no Klien has been in custody for almost a year or longer. He actually got all his charges dismissed today I believe delaying with this case I believe. Not sure but i know he was in custody for a year or longer. I think he gave this dude the phone or something to do with that. Gave him a phone and that account was on it and he used it or something. It's all disgusting if you ask me and no place for any of it.
Justice for Libby and Abbey 💜💜⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️
@4:51 He just called the cold hearted brutal murderer of his daughter, and her friend a "FKN GENTLEMAN"?
This case absolutely Stinks!!
Logan had an old man quavery voice, nothing like bridge guy and he was way too big to be bridge guy.
Richard Allen isn't quite 5'4" in his stocking feet and Logan was 6'1".
I don't even know how anyone could confuse those sizes.
Logan also had a moustache which the person in the video didn't.
@@tomnoname1372 I think BG had a mustache, darker so it blended in with features but he still had a bit of silver in the chin area of his goatee- you can spot some color if you look at Libby's video.
Allen's mustache was wider and cut closer back in photos with that very type of darker mustache and salt/pepper goatee in 2016. I think they said there were no more photos of him until possibly late 2018. He probably didn't feel comfortable until they put those sketches out.
When no one recognized him, he felt safe again to be photographed.
But he sure made a lot of changes to his facial and head hair in such a short time. You wonder why people didn't understand that.
For a guy that changed his appearance so many times you wonder why someone didn't notice that. If my husband change his appearance that many times I would be suspicious probably if I'm having an affair though. But if he had the same clothing then didn't have it, that would be suspicious.
Logan had a large walrus mustache and it was a pretty white silver, very distinctive. But that guy was so large he could never have been bridge guy.
Am extremely leary of this arrest, the police are being deliberately vague and seems there is NO clear evidence.
Might have given into public pressure for an arrest, any arrest.
I'm sure they have plenty of evidence or they would not have made the arrest.
No smoking gun. They left tip line open. And are still keeping secret.
11:49 "We've done all kinds of things to other people." Yup, I believe you. Lots of innocent people get trampled on as cops stumble their way toward the right person.
SO ANOTHER WORDS NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING !!!
R.I.P BEAUTIFUL ANGELS JUSTICE FOR ABBY & LIBBY FLY HIGH BEAUTIFUL ANGELS. PRAYERS FOR THE FAMILIES 🙏
I hate to say this cause I know people won't like it but so far we only have the word of the police and the prosecutor. it wouldn't be the first time that investigators where wrong or even were actively stretching the evidence. those sketches are very different from one another and to me at least either looked like the man. He is innocent at this point. No one should ever forget that.
It's highly likely they finally have a match to DNA evidence. He didn't have a record therefore he wasn't in the system to match it or have reason to suspect him/enough probable cause until recently. The global scrutiny and pressure to find the killer has been immense for years. If they just wanted to pin it on someone to close the case, they would have done so long ago. It would be next to impossible to not leave DNA at a crime scene like this. The extreme caution to protect the evidence suggests they have what they need for an airtight conviction.
FBI profile would say hiding in plain sight too for this crime......if he hadn't moved away quickly but these types usually hide right under people's nose....
I just want to say you have a killer station and you really are on this case and using many different platforms to get this stuff out. TH-cam to me is the best cause you get that update boom, right there. You guys really do some good reporting, good relationship with all in the community.
Thanks for these updates.
They look like their grandma too❤❤❤ she looks like she has not slept. GOD GIVE THEM PEACE AN GOD BLESS THE FAMILY AND EVERYONE STAY SAFE
Praying for absolute Justice🙏
Whatever happened to people being innocent until proven guilty?
The public should wait and see what the authorities have on Allen.
It seems that this town has made up their minds that he's guilty.
Watching this investigation through the years, I have to say I for one am not impressed.
I hope the authorities aren't looking for a fall guy.
I could be wrong and maybe they do have the monster in custody...I just think that the people of Delphi need to keep their guards up for maybe the monster is still hiding in plain sight.
This is odd they aren't releasing the probable cause affidavit? It simply indicates what the judge signed like facts and circumstances evidence .. I'm not sure wat the logic or reasoning is for sealing it but hopefully they have the right man
pretty much the same video you released on Monday... Is there such a lack of news?
That is crazy. I feel bad for that guy who died and was accused at one point. I really hope the ISP didn’t jump the gun and point fingers at this Allen guy because they just want to “close the case.” Why ask for more tips if they are certain he is the murderer? 🤔 Some things just don’t add up.
The tips are to tie up loose ends and incase there are any potential accomplices. But the case against RA is more or less in the bag. Maybe he has to be presumed innocent until proved guilty, but there’s no doubt in my mind he’s BG and I can’t wait till he’s held to account for his heinous actions!
It's called Due Process. You haven't seen or heard all the evidence and facts in the case, so of course it doesn't make complete sense to anyone yet.
@@xdra31 : did you believe Ron Logan was the Bridge Guy when LE was accusing him of the murders?
@@Tsadie1 I only became aware of this case, and by extension Ron Logan, about March of this year (2022). I did then see a couple of content creators speculating RL as a poi, however, further research told me that LE never actually accused him of anything to do with the murders, he’d been arrested, imprisoned, and then subsequently released under house arrest, for violating his parole conditions relating to serial traffic violation offenses. Fast forward a few months, I then became aware that RL had passed away in Jan 2022, and then the redacted FBI search warrant became public knowledge. I think this is what you must be referring to as LE ‘accusing’ him. I can assure you, I never once thought Ron Logan was BG. Just by reason of common sense, not to mention visual observation, and voice comparison too! BG was clearly a shorter man than RL was, was at least a decade younger than RL, and it could be made out, even from the grainy image, that he had a darkish goatee type beard not a white moustache!
1 day later they found their body's
The search was called off early cuz the rain
This case just so so many red flags
From day one I have said it …. the murderer lives in the community…..I saw it spiritually. I am not surprise at all. It takes someone who knows the area well to commit such a heinous crime.
It takes common sense not spiritual hubbub to know that, it was said right after the murders
@@sarah69420 you don’t know what I am talk about. Thank you!
Man killed 2 children and people are still describing him as a 'gentleman'..Be hearing this a lot with criminals being described as such. People need to learn the proper use if the English language. A murderer is NOT a gentleman.
I personally don't like that leading police officer. He's just strange.
He's a small town religious nutjob with lead character syndrome.
Sad as anything
The old man’s property where the bodies were found and lied about his alibi who matched the voice and picture of the cell phone footage died recently. They need someone to take the fall so that’s why everything is “ sealed “ . Imagine if the public found out they knew who did it the whole time and never arrested him and now that he’s dead he can’t face charges. Last week the sherif said publicly on tv “ we know who you are “ , why would you say that knowing the guy could kill himself or run ? It’s all fishy , they have 2 minutes of cell phone footage and audio they’ve never released .
Agreed, the police screwed up and need someone to pin this on. Logan was probably bridge guy
Agree, in 6yrs they have kept the details sealed, which stops us gettiing a profile of the murderer, sadist, like a D notice was served, as if killer was high up on the totem pole.
@@profhortsunlover1536 agreed , also in a town of only 2000 ? Why wouldn’t you release the footage to all ? You are going to run the risk of another young girl being murdered ? Look if your accused of a murder in this case 2 murders of children you don’t lie about where you were at and try to get your family member to help you lie period. The old man that died had connections which kept him out of jail and once he died they then said ok let’s go get someone so the people don’t think we let this go.
"We may never know why" Truer words have never been spoken. Whether anyone is found guilty or not. So sad for everyone. :(
the girls are so smart if it wasn’t for their video and recording i really believe this man would of gotten away with his crimes may these girls rest in peace and their families get justice
Im not sure he did it. I havent heard anything to tie him to it. Has anyone else?
I’m happy he was arrested but this is just so bittersweet. Regardless of the outcome, the girls are never coming home. Of course, we all know that locking up the bad guys doesn’t bring back their victims but I am so heartbroken for the families. As wonderful as it is that there has finally been movement towards justice for their girls, this trial is going to retraumatize them. It is just so sad.
He can’t do it , again !
@@unoimright5153 yes, Delphi is safer now. But it’s still really sad.
@@gram5963 Absolutely!!
My thoughts exactly. The sadness is just so heavy, even with justice on the horizon. The monster may be behind bars but the girls aren’t coming back and it shatters my heart for their families.
@@sexyimpostersyndromechick it’s devastating. This “man” (who is innocent until proven guilty- I just felt like I had to say that because people love to point it out every time I mention him) has ruined so many things. I feel like his destruction is endless. It’s not fair.
Is there a trail along Bridge Creek where you can go through the woods down to Deer Creek?
He probably had seen the two girls together on that trail before the day he killed her. The gaul of him living in the same town knowing what he had done and no doubt since he worked at their CVS, spent time talking to towns people. I remember when that news first went out about two Delphi girls missing and being sad. I hope he gets the death penalty. If not, many child killers have been killed by other inmates.🌹🌹💔💔
Innocent until proven guilty
I want them unsealed to show that theres not some nefarious, shady shit going down in Carroll County. Its a slippery slope to become complacent in our hope for resolution in lieu of questionably illegal activity being carried out by public officials. This arrest came on the heels of Mike Thomas's lawsuit and less than 2 weeks before the election. I want them to have the murderer and try him before a jury of his peers. Nothing less and nothing more. It is not enough to say "Because we said so."
Very well said.
Hard to believe they never used tracking dogs that day.
You can thank the police chief for that. He sent them away just before they showed up.
Why did he do that ?
@@Makingsomememories he’s a lazy POS? I personally think it was because they were from “the wrong side of the tracks” families. Parents and other relations had alleged drug problems and he prejudged the situation. Tried calling off the search a few times that night but the community and grandparents kept looking. The police involved screwed this up from the first second they got the call and everything that’s happened since INCLUDING releasing the catfisher who was found with dozens of CP images for 3.5 years, letting a known pedo go after taking him for DNA. His mother even sent a tip to police on his suspicious behavior and now guess what? They have no idea where he is. He’s probably who really did this. He was in prison for abducting and assaulting an 11 yo girl and trying to slit her throat. They suck. This is just in time for the elections those officials weren’t going to win though. Funny that
5:52 is terrifying. His eyes...
I utterly HATE how everyone has convicted this man before his day in court.
Just stop
@@electricaf365 uh, no.
Agreed
agree, i want to see the evidence, killer has done this dozens of times, i expect RA has a garden full of bodies IF he is the killer, not his 1st rodeo, however....if RA has no history of torturing kids, he's likely an innocent patsy
He is guilty until proven innocent, he did it...
To the killer, Satan's waitin'.
satan = god, same deity
@@profhortsunlover1536 keep your dumb comments to yourself
Those sketches looked absolutely nothing like him. Nothing at all. I always thought it was an older man by the way he walked and appeared to have a belly. Never did I think it was a young man in his 20s or 30s. While terribly terribly sad, it’s good news law enforcement finally (hopefully) have their man. He truly was hiding in plain sight. This case still gives me chills. I’ve been following for the past few years.
Although in the video isn't clear enough to make out his face. It's his feature and the way he walks. I can spot my husband from a mile away just by his feature and the clothes he's wearing. So don't tell me that his wife didn't knew. How many of you wives out there would identify your husband from where he and those girls was standing while she was recording? So I don't by her bs she's in denial and she just as guilty as him
OR…it’s not him, it was Ron Logan. Police screwed up, covering tracks
@@johnandsheilaalderson it’s not Ron Logan you weirdos need to let that go
It’s amazing to me people want to know why this man did this. There is no reason but evil. And just because he has been caught doesn’t mean you are now completely safe anywhere. Where there is one, there are more. Psychopaths. Always take every precaution. Never let young children go anywhere alone. Secluded areas is a feeding ground for these silent nutcases.
I don't want to know that either I would just like to know how he made them not run off cause they could have gotten away this is why we need to teach our kids how to get away from ppl no matter what it's not easy trying to pull a gun and shoot two ppl at once we have got to stop these people cause they ain't going to stop it is time to show these things that they are not going to keep winning and I hope they have a Death row cause he doesn't deserve a free ride for the rest of his life
My heart and prayers go out to the families and LE. The road ahead is going to be so hard for them. I can’t even imagine what they are going through! Those disgusting evil creatures who are involved will be brought down. God give all of you peace 🙏
i’ll liiiilkkolk look ii😮😮 i’ll i😮 i’ll
ggg
My heart just continues to hurt for these 2 baby girls 😔❤️
He probably done it before them
With the chief mentioning the abuse officers went through, the sealed info, the apparent lack of info his neighbors had on him- maybe I watch too much true crime where desperate police pin someone for a crime they never commited, but I hope he's not a scapegoat and this is genuinely a victory for justice. For the sake of the families, I hope this is investigation is air tight and they have their closure,
Mina The Raichu I know exactly what you mean and a lot of genuinely innocent people have spent way too many years in jail for crimes they didn't commit, BUT the suspect's eyes speak volumes, not to mention the photo of him and his wife with the notice about the girl's deaths behind them. 🙁
He's got children? Say what! SICK 🤢
