Richard Allen is accused in the 2017 killings of Liberty "Libby" German and Abigail " Abby" Williams , 14 and 13 , vanished during a hike in Delphi , Indiana , in 2017 .

Prosecutors say Allen confessed to the killings more than 60 times while he was in prison.

He could face up to 130 years in prison if convicted of all the charges.

Monica Wala , the former lead psychologist at Westville Correctional Facility where Allen was housed, testified he initially told her he was innocent, but began confessing to the crimes in April 2023 , around the time he was placed back on suicide watch. Wala testified that Allen had told her, "I killed Abby and Libby . I'm sorry," according to WTHR. He said he originally planned to sexually assault the victims but ran away when he saw a van nearby, and that he had cut the girls' throats and covered their bodies with sticks, she testified..
