Delphi murders: Richard Allen found guilty of killing 2 teenage girls in Indiana | LiveNOW from FOX

A jury in the small Indiana town of Delphi convicted Richard Allen of murder in the 2017 killings of two teenage girls who vanished during an afternoon hike.

Deliberations stretched into a fourth day before jurors found Allen guilty in the killings of 13-year-old Abigail Williams and 14-year-old Liberty German.

The former drugstore worker was convicted of two counts of murder and two additional counts of murder while committing or attempting to commit kidnapping. Allen could now face up to 130 years in prison.

Authorities said that Allen had repeatedly confessed to the killings — in person, on the phone and in writing. In one of the recordings he replayed for the jury, Allen could be heard telling his wife, "I did it. I killed Abby and Libby." But Allen’s defense argued that his confessions are unreliable because he was facing a severe mental health crisis while under the pressure and stress of being locked up in isolation.
