Girls killed in Delphi murders were sacrificed in pagan cult ritual, defense claims
Fox News
Attorneys for Richard Allen, the prime suspect in the 2017 murders of two girls in Delphi, Indiana, are now claiming the girls died in a "ritualistic sacrifice."
Authorities arrested Allen, a 50-year-old father and CVS employee, in October 2022 in the Feb. 14, 2017, killings of Liberty "Libby" German, 14, and Abigail Williams, 13, who disappeared from a popular trail in Delphi, Indiana, Feb. 13, 2017, before they turned up dead in the woods the next day. "[T]he Defense is not inventing, fabricating, or exaggerating these facts no matter how crazy those facts may appear." "The murderers treated Abby very differently."

"Overwhelming evidence in this case supports the following … Members of a pagan Norse religion, called Odinism, hijacked by white nationalists, ritualistically sacrificed Abigail Williams and Liberty German," Allen's attorneys, Andrew Baldwin and Bradley Rozzi, said in a 136-page memorandum.
It was filed Monday in support of a Franks hearing, or a court proceeding in which a judge must determine whether a law enforcement officer lied in an effort to obtain a search warrant.
