Delphi Murders Suspect Richard Allen Photographed Next to Sketch / ‘Wanted’ Poster

In an eerie coincidence, a police poster depicting a sketch of the Delphi killer appears in the background of a photograph of Richard Allen (arrested Friday in relation to the Delphi murders) & his wife. 

In December of 2021, the wife of Richard Allen made a post on a local pub’s Facebook group. JC’s Bar and Grill, a once popular dive bar in Delphi, was permanently closing its doors. Allen’s wife left a tribute, reminiscing about the great people and fun times she had at the establishment. Included with the dive bar memorial was a set of 40 photographs she shared with the group.

At first glance, they are exactly what you would expect to see. Pictures of patrons playing pool, drinking beer, and eating fried food. But upon closer inspection, one image stands out as particularly ominous: in Photo #13, a smiling Mrs. Allen cocks her head to make sure she appears in the frame alongside her husband, who is seated at a table near the bar’s entrance. Behind his shoulder is a coat rack, bulletin board… and the Delphi murders ‘Wanted’ poster, pinned to the wall. The flyer, which many local businesses began displaying shortly after the murders, features the police sketch of the killer, his description, details of the crime, and contact information to submit a tip.

While it’s important to remember police have not yet made any definitive statements that Richard Allen is the likely Delphi killer, their actions speak louder than words. Notoriously tight-lipped law enforcement confirmed that Allen’s arrest was indeed tied to the murders, and a press conference is planned for Halloween morning. The family of Libby and Abby seem very hopeful and positive on social media.

Almost equally important to note at this time? …

Delphi Murders Interview Transcript Family CrimeCon 2018 Interview Video

In a continued mission to transcribe and archive informative interviews and briefings related to The Delphi Murders, we have transcribed a live panel-style session conducted at CrimeCon 2018. The panel titled “Delphi Murders: The Family Speaks” was hosted by journalist and former HLN anchor Ashleigh Banfield. Becky Patty (Liberty German’s grandmother), Mike Patty (Liberty German’s grandfather), Anna Williams (Abby Williams’ mother) and Sergeant Jerry Holeman (District Investigative Commander at Indiana State Police and FBI National Academy graduate), were guests. 

This interview discusses multiple topics of interest related to the Delphi Murders investigation, including origins of the first sketch, specifics of what agencies are involved on a daily basis, reasoning behind limited release of investigatory details, the media’s misrepresentation of Daniel Nations as a suspect, and more. Near the conclusion, audience members were encouraged to ask questions, and a touching story was shared about how the news of Libby’s quick thinking to film her killer ended up impacting a completely unrelated case.
