Four years after the murder of Liberty “Libby” German and her best friend Abigail “Abby” Williams – a 50-year-old man identified as Richard Allen has been arrested in connection with the Delphi murders.

Richard Allen was arrested in Indiana “around noon Friday in connection with the Delphi murder investigation.”

It’s unclear what he has been charged with, but law enforcement sources have described the arrest as a “major development”.

Soon after the arrest was made, Kelsi German, Libby’s sister, tweeted: “Today is the day.”

“Just know how grateful I am for all of you,” she wrote.

Indiana State Police have said they will hold a press conference on Monday.

Abby, 13, and Libby, 14, disappeared on 13 February 2017 after going for a hike at Monon High Bridge, an abandoned rail bridge, just outside the town of Delphi.
