Attorneys representing accused Delphi murderer Richard Allen are seeking to have the charges against him dismissed, claiming that police intentionally or negligently destroyed exculpatory evidence — meaning evidence supporting Allen’s innocence. The filing is the latest dramatic development in one of the most high-profile murder cases in Indiana history.

Allen is facing two counts of murder while committing or attempting to commit kidnapping as well as two counts of murder and two counts of kidnapping in the February 2017 slayings of Williams and German, whose bodies were discovered in a wooded area just off the Delphi Historic Trails system.

Williams and German vanished while walking the Monon High Bridge Trail near Delphi, Indiana, on Feb. 13, 2017. The trail traverses an abandoned stretch of what was once the Monon Railroad and crosses an old trestle over a small river or creek. The girls were found dead the next day in an area near the trestle, and their deaths were determined to be homicides.

In the motion, Allen’s attorneys accused police of “destroying exculpatory evidence,” specifically, recorded interviews with two supposed “key suspects” in the murders which they say were mysteriously erased. Those two interviews took place on Feb. 17 and Feb. 19, 2017, just days after the girls’ bodies were found.

While authorities provided memorialized summaries of the interviews, Allen’s attorneys requested the recordings so they could “listen to the exact spoken words” of the two men, “particularly the statements that the author of the document admits were not memorialized in the document.”

Law&Crime has chosen not to publish the names of the two interviewees, both of whom Allen claims were involved in the murders, as they have not been charged with any crimes.
