A man accused of killing two teenage girls near an Indiana hiking trail cut their throats, prosecutors told a jury Friday.

Richard Allen, 52, is charged with two counts of murder and two counts of murder while committing or attempting to commit kidnapping in the February 2017 deaths of Abigail Williams, 13, and Liberty German, 14, in the small town of Delphi.

"The last thing the girls saw was Richard Allen's face," Carroll County prosecutor Nicholas McLeland said in his opening statement.
An unused bullet discovered at the murder scene between the girls' bodies came from a gun that belonged to Allen, and a grainy image of a man and his voice were captured by German on her phone. A short video released in 2019 that also came from German's phone showed a suspect walking on Monon High Bridge.

McLeland said that man was Allen. The girls vanished while walking along the Monon High Bridge Trail Feb. 13, 2017. They were found dead the next morning.

Allen, a pharmacy technician, was questioned months after authorities recovered the girls' bodies, but he was not arrested at the time. He was arrested on suspicion of the slayings five years later.
