Makes me feel like they know who it is (or have a good idea) and are waiting to see if he messes up.
More than likely not a local guy I am guessing. Sad for the families involved.
Or if it was a local guy he killed them then fled the state or maybe the country.
If he really lived in Delphi its hard to imagine that he wouldn't have been caught by now.
I wonder if its possible that he was wearing some sort of disguise (I mean it probably would be hard to find someone that looks nothing like what they think he looks like)
Damn shame.

I haven't gotten through it all because of press conference.
Lafayette rapist.
General scumbag.
He is an online predator.

I think the Wilhelm possibility has been floating around for a few months. Interesting for various reasons one of which being he resembles the sketch of the bridge guy pretty closely. Add in a local connection and a serious rap sheet and he seems viable.
What sucks is that they don’t appear to have DNA to check potential suspects against. Don’t know that for sure but that seems to be the prevailing thought. Without DNA evidence it will come down to finding additional evidence or getting a confession from whoever the perp actually is.
I have been listening to the “Down the Hill” podcast recently which does a deep dive into the Murders and is pretty well done. I’ve also heard most of the other TRue crime podcasts on the subject as I Am intrigued by this case.

I guess we will no pretty soon if he is the one or not with the DNA found at the crime scene.
In other news, this guy in the video above has a hard on to be a reporter on Dateline or 48 Hours.

It seems amazing with the cellphone evidence available that this case remains unsolved.
It seems amazing with all the technology we can bring to bear to solve ANY crime, much less a double murder of two teenagers where they were able to recover voice and video from a cell phone, that THIS crime has not been solved after 5 years.
The only redeeming thing about the crime still not being solved after all this time is at least they've shone a bright light on all the deviant mofos that have become persons of interest over that period.
Don't have a link but saw on the news they are checking the river behind the house of the guy they suspected today.
Dang that’s huge if true was just thinking the other day how hopeless it must be with this case likely never getting solved

Was Richard Allen ever a suspect named during the last five years? Great this might have been solved. If so, send the detectives to Bardstown next for the cluster*uck down there.
That sounds very promising. I haven’t heard the name Richard Allen mentioned anywhere and I’ve tried to follow the case pretty closely. Wish we had more info I guess we will know Monday.
Yeah this is a new name I believe. I hope they finally have the guy.
Wonder why they are waiting for a Monday news conference but glad they got the POS (if it really is him.).
Could be wrong but I doubt this is someones first time.

I agree esp considering the police hinted that the bodies were posed and trophies possibly taken. That take time and not something you would expect a killer to do their first time.
Why they didn’t do an immediate press conference Friday seems strange tho. Sounds like they did notify the families which is good.
Google search says Richard only lived 2 miles away from the scene. Crazy to think living his life for the past 5 years wondering when his time is up.
I’ve seen in a few (unofficial) places he’s the third guy that had access to the fake Facebook account
This thread was started 5 and a half years ago - kudos to the law enforcement/tips/leads/podcasts that helped keep focus on this case and guessing now that it has been solved
The guy had his police sketch posted behind him when he took this selfie with his wife.
So looking at that grainy image now you can kinda see a resemblance between that guy and the guy they arrested so as a dad I’m very disturbed seeing he had that sketch it almost looks like that was something he was holding for a very odd reason and obviously his wife knew so does she get charged eventually as well ?
like someone else said the profile of people like this is usually a perpetual criminal but guess we will see when everything comes out

Pretty sure that pictures is out at a bar or other establishment. Not his house.
Pretty sure your frequency of posting compared to mine says you need to.
They're being very tight lipped about what they have on him, but I suspect that he was an anonymous tip sent in to ISP since his name was mentioned on several boards as being the guy as far back as 2-3 years ago. I'm guessing he left some DNA at the scene, and they were able to obtain his DNA at some point and made a match. Supposedly, they did some digging in his yard before doing the arrest, so perhaps they found a "trophy" that he took from the girls when he allegedly murdered them.
Were the people in a town with a population of 3,000 like Dwight Schrute when they saw his mug shot and oblivious to who it was?
Libby's sister, Kelsi German, said she always felt the girls' killer must be someone familiar with the Delphi area, but she said she didn't want to believe the suspect "was right here among us."
Libby's aunt crossed paths with Allen at CVS once, according to the Pattys. The aunt brought in pictures of Libby to print for her funeral and said Allen didn't charge her for them.
A CVS spokesperson said in a statement, “We are shocked and saddened to learn that one of our store employees was arrested as a suspect in these crimes. We stand ready to cooperate with the police investigation in any way we can.”
Monday marks the first time police have named a suspect in the case. Police have still not released how the girls were killed.
