On February 13, 2017, two best friends—13-year-old Abigail Williams and 14-year-old Liberty German—set out for a walk along the Monon High Bridge in Delphi, Indiana. They never returned. What began as a quiet afternoon in a small Midwestern town quickly spiraled into one of the most high-profile unsolved murder cases in recent American history. 5 years later, police would arrest a local man, Richard Allen and charge him with the murders. But many believe there is more to the story and this guy may not actually be the killer. 

In this episode, we revisit the events of that day, the discovery that shocked the nation, and the now-infamous audio and video clip recovered from Libby’s phone—evidence that turned the entire country into amateur detectives. We’ll talk through the investigations, suspects, theories, the trial of Richard Allen and the questions that still remain eight years later. Listen now for all of the details!
