November 23, 2022- Indiana State Police have distributed a press release to media outlets on behalf of the Carroll County Prosecutor’s Office.

In what appears to be an attempt to get ahead of Judge Frances C. Gull’s upcoming ruling concerning the fate of a Probable Cause Affidavit, McLeland writes:

“The Carroll County Prosecutor’s Office appreciates the Judge hearing our arguments yesterday morning and looks forward to her ruling.

As I started in court yesterday, we strongly believe the evidence shows Richard Allen was involved in the murder of Abby and Libby.

Because the investigation is ongoing and given the intense public interest in the case, we think it would be best if the documents remain sealed. Regardless of the ruling, we believe we have a very solid case against Mr. Allen and look forward to making our argument in trial.”
