Attorneys for Delphi murder suspect Richard Allen suggested in new court filings that Paganists killed Abigail "Abby" Williams, 13, and Liberty "Libby" German, 14, in a ritual sacrifice.

This week, Allen's defense attorneys Andrew Baldwin and Bradley Rozzi filed a motion in which they outlined their theory that members of a Norse religion that reveres the God Odin sacrificed Williams and German in February 2017, according to documents obtained by Oxygen.com.

Baldwin and Rozzi additionally allege that law enforcement investigated suspects with potential ties to the religion, which has been hijacked by white nationalists, but stopped pursuing leads for no discernible reason.

The attorneys claim there was evidence of a ritualistic killing at the crime scene but noted, "Absolutely nothing links Richard Allen to Odinism or any religious cult," according to NBC News.

The defense attorneys alleged that investigators included "flat out falsehoods" and withheld other information when requesting a search warrant for Allen's home in a Franks motion also obtained by Oxygen.com. As such, the documents state, Allen's attorneys are requesting a Franks hearing — a hearing in which the court determines whether a warrant was issued without probable cause — in the hopes that any evidence, including hunting and utility knives, gathered during the search be thrown out.

They're also seeking to have Allen transferred to a new prison, stating that the Westville Correctional Center, where he's currently incarcerated, "appears to be ripe with Odinistic connections."

Evidence of Odinism in Indiana

Included among the documents filed by Allen's attorneys was a report by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which wrote that a "racist brand of neo-Paganism, related to Odinism, spreads among white supremacists." In Indiana prisons specifically, there are Odinist ministries, according to the nonprofit.

A separate report by the SPLC, cited by WRTV, suggests that there are additional Odinist groups operating in Indiana.

The Delphi Murder Crime Scene

The defense attorneys claimed that investigators also found evidence of a "ritualistic" killing at the crime scene, according to NBC News. Such signs include symbols, as well as the positioning of German's remains.

An exhibits list obtained by Oxygen.com further reveals that the letter "F" was written in blood and formed in sticks at the scene. According to Fox 59, the defense attorneys suggested that the letter is associated with Pagan rituals.

Due to the nature of the crime scene, the attorneys argued that Allen would not be able to carry out such acts on his own or in the timeframe that has been proposed. The girls disappeared on a hiking trail the afternoon of February 13, 2017 and were found the following evening near the Monon High Bridge hiking trail in Delphi, Indiana.

Though the defense attorneys named potential suspects, none of the individuals have been charged in the case.

Richard Allen's Confession

Prior to the defense attorney's recent filings, it was revealed that Allen had allegedly confessed to murdering Williams and German "no less than five times" during prison calls with his wife and mother. His attorneys argued that Allen's words shouldn't be taken at face value considering his diminished mental state.

The supposed confessions were disclosed when the court unsealed documents related to the case, including one affidavit which stated that Williams and German had been murdered with a "sharp object."

Allen, who was arrested in October 2022, has pleaded not guilty to all charges. A trial date has been set for January 2024.

It's been a long time coming, but it looks like they found the monster who murdered Abigail Williams and Liberty German. I remember when this happened.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the case, Abby and Libby were hanging out at a park on their day off of school. When Libby's father, who was supposed to pick them up, couldn't find them, police were alerted. A search began but had to be called off. When it resumed the next day, they found the two girls' bodies.

What made this case so frustrating was that Libby had managed to film their murderer and get his voice on tape, but the picture was blurry and the man's face was obscured. Also, there was a sketch of the suspect...but then later released a completely different sketch and said that the other sketch hadn't been of the suspect.

But finally, it looks like they might have the guy who murdered the two girls. Obviously, there will need to be a trial. We still know very little. But this is a big deal. I don't think they'd be holding a press conference over it unless they had strong evidence tying him to the murders.

Delphi Murders: Defense Team Withdraws Amid Alleged Leaked Photos

Delphi Murders Defense Team Steps Down After Alleged Photo Leak The defense team representing Richard Allen, the suspect in the Delphi murders, withdrew from the case due to allegations that leaked crime scene photos came from one of the attorney's associates. These disturbing images were shared through text messages and on social media. They depicted the crime scene in the wooded area near the Monon High Bridge Trail in Delphi, Indiana. It's the place where Liberty "Libby" German, 14, and Abigail "Abby" Williams, 13, were tragically murdered after they vanished during a hike on February 13, 2017. A Sudden Turn of Events Carroll County Judge Fran Gull addressed the surprising development during a recorded hearing, stating, "We've had an unexpected turn of events, ladies and gentlemen. Earlier this afternoon, the defense attorneys have withdrawn their representation of Mr. Allen." As a result, Mr. Allen is entitled to new legal counsel, and he was sent back to the Westville Correctional Facility. The defense team, consisting of Andrew Baldwin and Bradley Rozzi, agreed to cooperate with their successors, as directed by Judge Gull. The Legal Twist Baldwin's attorney, David Hennessy, clarified that the defense attorneys did not voluntarily quit the case but instead withdrew due to what he referred to as "coercive circumstances." According to Hennessy, the attorneys had developed a strong and trusting bond with Allen prior to their withdrawal. Hennessy argued that disqualifying Baldwin from representing Allen would harm his right to counsel and hinder a timely trial. He stressed that disqualifying counsel is an extreme measure usually reserved for conflicts of interest. In this case, the issue arose due to individuals outside the attorney's office unlawfully obtaining and disseminating information. Background on Richard Allen Richard Allen was arrested in October 2022 for the 2017 murders of Liberty German and Abigail Williams. Prosecutors assert that evidence from the crime scene links back to Allen's home, and he reportedly confessed to the crimes during phone calls from jail. Controversial Defense Claim Allen's defense has alleged that the girls' deaths were part of a ritualistic sacrifice performed by members of a pagan Odinist cult in Indiana. They argued that certain items at the crime scene were arranged in patterns specific to Odinism. However, prosecutors dismissed these claims as "colorful" and "unprofessional." The Investigation The investigation into the Delphi murders has been marked by controversy and a lack of public disclosure due to a gag order. The next hearing in Allen's case is scheduled for later this month. Inquiries made to Baldwin and Rozzi's office remained unanswered. Read the full article

I am so pissed off right now. I don't know if you are familiar with the Delphi Murders? The murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German? It happened at the Monon High Bridge Trails in Delphi, Indiana on February 13, 2017. Well, there is this Murder Sheet Podcast you can find on Google. And these people have been leaking out information. There are pros but there are mostly cons of this because LE are not telling the victims families shit. However, most people know why they do this. They can't tell anyone anything just so they can weed out people. The Murder Sheet people knew law enforcement is not happy with them but yet they continue to do it. They are going to end up jeopardizing the case. That's not fair to the families. This podcast try to act like professionals and only leak out what they feel like won't hurt anything. That's bullshit and they know it. When they take a possible murderer or someone that is possibly involved in it to a base to make sure this shit doesn't get leaked out that should had told them right there not to do it. This is about getting justice for Abby and Libby. It's not about credit and fame. The male co-host I believe studied law or he is a lawyer, I really don't know because I heard a few different stories. People say they are pretty sure their so called creditable sources are law friends working close to the case. It's upsetting because the info they leaked yesterday could absolutely damage this case and they don't see it. I won't say what was said but if bridge guy - aka the murderer - heard the podcast, he could be destroying any more evidence/trophies he possibly still has or/and go on the run right now OR possibly the bridge guy is the person sitting in jail who has 30 counts against him already.

I am not a professional by any means but I have seen cases like this where leaks have gone out and it screws up everything. I would like to think that MS has more common sense than that but who knows maybe LE told them to put that out. Perhaps they are working with them to scare the fuck out bridge guy. They said in a press conference back in 2019 I believe "You want to know what we know and one day you will".

So i'm confused what happen to upset you

Photo

Above is the last photo of 13-year-old Abby Williams, taken by her friend, Libby German, 14, during their hike on an American hiking trail in Delphi, Indiana. At 1:45 PM on February 13, 2017, a family member dropped off the two girls at an abandoned bridge where they planned to go hiking. However, when they did not later show up at the same bridge to be picked up, they were reported missing. Their remains were found the next day, roughly 0.5 miles from the bridge. Police are currently looking for a man who they suspect is involved in the murders. They released an audio recording found on Libby’s phone of him saying, ‘’Down the hill’’. There is apparently more evidence from Libby’s cell phone in relation to the unidentified man that’s yet to be disclosed. The suspect is described as a white male between 5'6 and 5'10, weighing between 180 and 220 lbs with reddish brown hair. Police have not publicly revealed how the two friends were murdered.

What We Know About Daniel Nations

Man Arrested in CO Hatchet Incident Considered Person of Interest in Delphi, IN Murders

Published: Friday, September 29, 2017, 12:44 PM EDT

The traffic stop arrest of Daniel James Nations in Woodland Park, Colorado relating to an intimidation incident involving a hatchet may lead to a break in the unsolved killings of Liberty German and Abby Williams off of Delphi’s Historic Trails east of Delphi, Indiana on February 13.

On the afternoon of September 25, Woodland Park police stopped a red Chevy Prizm with expired Indiana plates and a broken tail light. According to a probable cause affidavit, the car was driven by Katelyn Nations, with her husband Daniel and the couple’s two children as passengers.

The Prizm matched the description of the vehicle involved in an open intimidation case, in which a man and woman driving a red sedan threatened another motorist with a hatchet. According to an El Paso County Sheriff’s Department press release, the car was also identified in several tips by the public regarding menacing complaints in the Mount Herman area and the Town of Monument.

When asked about the hatchet incident, Daniel Nations told police, "We're not that kind of people.” He stated someone had tried to run them off the road in the mountains, but that he shook his fist--not a hatchet--at the other motorists.

However, police found a hatchet inside Nations's car. They also found a .22-caliber semiautomatic rifle, which may be connected to an unsolved murder of a cyclist earlier this month.

The Murder of Timothy Watkins

On September 17, 2017, the body of well-known local cyclist Timothy Watkins was found in the Monument area of nearby El Paso County, Colorado. According to the El Paso County Sheriff, the beloved 61-year-old--who was last seen on September 14 at 10 AM--was gunned down on his mountain bike by an unidentified offender wielding a .22-caliber weapon.

Katelyn Nations told police she purchased the rifle for protection after their car was broken into. However, felons in Indiana are not allowed to have firearms. Turns out, they aren't allowed to have firearms in Colorado, either.

On late Thursday evening, the El Paso County Sheriff’s Department charged Nations with felony menacing and reckless endangerment in relation to the hatchet incident. Law enforcement indicated they expect more charges to be filed in the coming days.

However, in a bizarre turn of events, Colorado police say they received tips that Nations might be the man sometimes called the “Snapchat Killer.”

Nations bears a striking resemblance to the composite sketch of the suspect in Liberty German and Abby Williams’s homicides over one-thousand miles away in rural Delphi, Indiana.

Who is Daniel Nations?

Daniel Nations, a former marine, is no stranger to the criminal justice system. Most likely born in North Carolina, the 31-year-old has various flavors of convictions to his name, and a history of mysteriously disappearing when it’s time to go to court.

As this piece frantically neared completion late on September 28, fresh felony charges against Nations were filed in Morgan County, Indiana relating to his sex offender status. According to the statute under which the ex-marine is charged, Nations, “knowingly and intentionally...does not reside at the sex or violent offender's registered address.” And on the 29th, a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Nations’s place on the sex offender registries of Florida, South Carolina, and Indiana, stems from a June 26, 2007 in Spartanburg County, S.C. Records show he was convicted of exposing and pleasuring himself in a WalMart parking lot in 2006. The witness in the incident told police that Nations exposed himself and then asked her, “You want to get on this? It’ll be fun.”

Court documents from elsewhere in the state show that in 2008, Nations--who was still on parole for the Spartanburg offense--pled guilty to another charge of public indecency, this time in Beauford County. According to a contemporaneous WTOC News report, Nations exposed himself from his car in a parking lot, and later exposed himself in a Port Royal neighborhood to a mother and child on bicycles. At that time, Port Royal police stated Nations had been arrested four times for the same offense while stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Official documents relating to any North Carolina charges were not immediately available.

If one were to evaluate the marriage on court documents alone, it appears Daniel and Katelyn Nations’s relationship was tumultuous at best and violent at worst.

Between 2014 and 2016, Daniel and Katelyn Nations were brought to Morgan County’s small claims court by multiple parties in property disputes. The cases--some of which are still pending--most often resulted in the couple’s eviction, and the couple regularly failed to appear in court. According to online records, Daniel Nations failed to appear before the court on June 21 in relation to a 2015 case, and the couple was set to appear in magistrate court on September 20 in relation to another. In some cases, both Daniel and Katelyn Nations still owe unpaid restitution.

In December of 2015, Daniel Nations was convicted for domestic battery in Morgan County. He allegedly violated an order of protection issued on December 14, 2015, which expired on April 30, 2016. In a letter, Katelyn Nations asked, “...the court not require me to be in the courtroom with my abuser, Daniel Nations. I still do not feel safe or comfortable at even the thought of seeing him."

On January 15, 2016, Nations plead guilty to a criminal misdemeanor charge for public indecency in Bartholomew County. Court documents state Nations, “allegedly fondled the genitals of the defendant or another person in a public place.”

In March 2016, Katelyn Nations petitioned to establish child support in Morgan County Circuit Court; however, but multiple orders to appear could not be delivered to either party, and the matter was quickly dropped.

Nations was issued a traffic citation in August 2016 in Plainfield, Indiana. He was arrested on November 16 by an Indiana state trooper in Marion County, where he currently faces pending charges of possession of marijuana, possession of paraphernalia and driving while never receiving a driver's license.

In April 2017, Katelyn would again file for child support in Morgan County.

In May, Daniel was hit with criminal misdemeanor charges in Greenwood, Indiana for possession of drug paraphernalia and for driving on a suspended license for the second time in ten years. A court date of October 18 has been set in that case, but it is unclear how the recent developments may affect the pending charges.

In June 2017, Morgan County attempted to deliver orders to appear to both Katelyn and Daniel in relation to the child support case, but were unsuccessful. The P.O. box address on file for Katelyn was apparently out-of-date, and with Daniel’s documented history of being unreachable, the court attempted to covered their bases: orders to appear were sent directly to Nations at the Bartholomew County Jail, as well as to the County Sheriff to be served to Nations at the jail. While it is unclear how long Nations spent in that county jail, court records in that case indicate he was released by June 13, as neither of the court’s orders could be delivered on that date. When both parties failed to appear, the child support case was dismissed.

This somewhat muddles the timeline presented by the media: According to early news reports, in April 2017, Nations told Johnson County officials he was living in a motel in Greenwood; however, he allegedly moved out on May 12 without notifying anyone, and supposedly, police first became aware his departure during a failed attempt to check up on Nations on July 18.

Further muddling the order of events are court documents out of Bartholomew County--where Nations was convicted of fondling another person in public--which state law enforcement issued an arrest warrant on June 5, 2017 when Nations failed to appear for hearings regarding whether his probation should be revoked.

So, What Does This Mean?

Maybe nothing.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably aware of the frequency at which homicides grow cold. You’ve probably also observed how easily we can slide into tinfoil-hat territory when speculating about a stagnating case in few details have been made public.

When there’s a potential break, a new lead, we might latch on and hesitate to let go. We’re desperate for justice for Abby and Libby. How can we live in a world where someone can murder two teenagers--and even be captured on video by one of the victims--yet go un-apprehended for seven months?

The murders of 13-year-old Abby Williams and 14-year-old Libby German have rocked the tiny rural community with a population of under 3000. In a July interview with PEOPLE, German’s grandmother Becky Patty said, “Do we miss her? More every day, and as a matter of fact it has gotten harder as time has gone on.”

Daniel Nations does resemblance to the composite sketch released by police on July 17, 2017, of a man believed to be connected to the murder. However, not all forensic artists are created equal, and the reliability of composite sketches is dubious: a 2005 UK study concluded traditional composite sketches to be less accurately recognized than those made using forensic composite software. The authors state this disparity grows larger as more time elapses between a witness viewing the suspect and providing suspect’s description. The recognition rate for traditional composite sketches was as low as 3%.

On Thursday, Indiana State Police made the following statement (emphasis added):

We are aware of the arrest of the person in Colorado and are investigating to see if he could be a suspect in the Delphi double murder investigation. Please keep in mind the Indiana State Police has received more than a thousand photos of persons alleged to be similar in appearance to the composite sketch of the Delphi person of interest. Each and every one of these tips are investigated for any potential connection to our case. We will give the same attention to the person arrested in Colorado, but right now there is nothing that definitively connects this person to our investigation. If that should change – with this tip, or any other tip – rest assured we would be sharing such news with all media sources.

When I research cases, I often hesitate to publish my findings when the suspect has yet to be proven guilty. I’m a fact-based person. I like citations and court documents and spreadsheets. I try to avoid baseless speculation and make a conscious effort to abstain from judgement until the facts are available. Coordinating a witch-hunt is not my intention here, as I steadfastly believe in the right to a fair and impartial trial.

I’m particularly cognizant of this with the Delphi case. In July, Indiana State Police urged the public to stop “armchair sleuthing,” after Facebook users began publishing pictures of various men alongside the composite sketch. This is the facet of the true crime community with which I take issue. I think sometimes it’s easy to forget that the person to whom you’re comparing a homicide suspect’s likeness is real, three-dimensional human being whose real, actual life can be ruined.

However, all of the information I’ve presented was obtained from publicly available court documents and news reports. I didn’t have to leave my apartment in a land far, far away to retrieve anything--hell, I didn’t even have to talk to anyone. Most people don’t realize just how much information is available on the internet--that is, if you’re insane like me and you know where to look.

From those documents, we do know that Nations was arrested roughly two-hours away in Morgan County ten days after the Delphi murders. We also know he has a record of seemingly escalating sexual offenses, and that he’s also the kind of guy to carry around a hatchet. And while no charges have been filed to date, if tips are to be believed, he may even be the kind of guy to fatally gun down a cyclist in a seemingly random act.

And even if Nations is the man in the composite, that does not necessarily mean he is the man who killed Abby and Libby.

What’s Next?

In a statement Friday to the Journal Courier, ISP Sgt. Kim Riley emphasized that Nations is not yet a suspect in the deaths of German and Williams, but rather a person of interest. According to Riley, the distinction is critical:

Everyone that we've talked to has always been a person of interest until we either decide they need to be looked at even more or (they're) somebody that’s gong to be taken off the radar. Any tip we get on somebody, they're automatically a person of interest.

According to Carroll County Sheriffs, FBI agents in Colorado will initially question Nations, and if further suspicions arise, authorities handling the Delphi case will travel to the area.

Despite some early reports that Nations could be confirmed or ruled out as a suspect in the Delphi homicides within two days, Riley said he is anticipating answers next week.

He said police also have obtained samples of Nations's DNA, which will be compared to evidence gathered at the crime scene. Riley noted this has become a common procedure over the course of the seven-month-long investigation, telling the Journal Courier: "We check DNA on everybody that has been investigated. Every person that we have talked to, we've gotten a DNA swab from."

Daniel Nations' bond in Colorado initially was $10,000, but the Colorado Springs Gazette reported that it was lowered to $2,000 on Wednesday.

The Unsolved Murders of Abby Williams and Libby German

At 1.35 pm on 13th February 2017, 13-year-old Abigail J. 'Abby' Williams and 14-year-old Liberty Rose Lynn 'Libby' German were dropped off at a trailhead on County Road, west of the Hoosier Heartland Highway. The girls were hiking in woodland and at 2.07 pm Libby posted a photograph of Abby walking on the Monon High Bridge. That was the last time either girl was heard from again. At 5.30 pm after the girls had failed to meet Libby's dad at 3.15 pm, the police were called. Authorities initially assumed the girls had got lost but this opinion quickly turned to foul play when two bodies were found at noon the next day 0.5 miles away from the bridge. The details of how the girls were murdered have never been publicly released but police did begin circulating an image of a man seen on the Monon High Bridge Trail near where the two friends were killed. The image shows a Caucasian male with his hands in his pockets and his head down walking towards the two friends. The person was revealed as the prime suspect in what had now become a double-homicide. On 22nd February, law enforcement released an audio recording from Libby's phone where the voice of the suspected killer says 'down the hill.' Police indicated there was additional evidence on Libby's phone but it was not released for fear of compromising a future trial. Since the crimes took place, further sketches and a slightly longer audio recording have been released. Police state that the person may range from 18 to 40 years old but that his 'youthful appearance' may make him look younger. The murders of Libby and Abby remain unsolved and the case remains under investigation.

Delphi murders suspect Richard Allen not being harassed by alleged cult members in prison, prosecutors say

Delphi Murders Suspect's Allegations of Prison Guards' Odinist Ties Dismissed Indiana prosecutors have refuted claims by Delphi murders suspect Richard Allen's defense attorneys that prison guards were affiliated with the same Odinist cult they say was responsible for the 2017 killings of two teenage girls. The defense had alleged that Allen was framed as the primary suspect in the case. In court filings on Tuesday, the prosecution responded to accusations made by Allen's lawyers, Andrew Baldwin and Bradley Rozzi. They contended that the murders of 14-year-old Liberty "Libby" German and 13-year-old Abigail "Abby" Williams were the work of a pagan cult dedicated to Odin, a Norse war god. Allen's defense team also asserted that prison guards, who they claim are part of the same Odinist cult, treated Allen unfairly. They alleged that Allen had been tased twice while in custody at the Westville Correctional Facility, and two guards had worn Odinist patches on their uniforms. Prosecutors labeled these recent claims as "unfounded," stating that the defense's allegations lacked any substantial evidence. They expressed concern that the repeated motions were straining the resources of the court without a factual basis. To counter these claims, Warden John Galipeau, Sgt. Joshua Robinson, and Sgt. Randy Jones submitted sworn affidavits stating that they did not abuse their power to harm Allen and denied any association with Odinism. Galipeau's affidavit explicitly denied any agenda related to Odinism within the prison. Galipeau's affidavit reassured that no inmates practicing Odinism were housed with or near Allen. Furthermore, the warden explained that Allen was tased because he refused to comply with prison orders. Sgt. Robinson confirmed that he did not practice Odinism or wear Odinist patches on his uniform, likening the patches to a Christian wearing a cross to honor their religious beliefs. Sgt. Jones admitted to following "Norse Paganism Heathenry" and wearing patches related to Odinism. However, he emphasized that the patches did not promote racism or hatred and stated that he was not part of a cult. Last month, Allen's attorneys suggested that a pagan Norse religion, Odinism, had been hijacked by white nationalists who ritualistically sacrificed the two girls. The murders took place in 2017, with police discovering a video on Libby's phone that recorded the incident. More than five years after the tragedy, investigators executed a search warrant at Allen's residence, where they found potential evidence connected to the murders, including a jacket, a handgun, and a bullet consistent with evidence found at the crime scene. The recent claims by Allen's defense have shifted the focus from the suspect's connection to the murders to a new theory and a different group of potential suspects. Read the full article
