The Delphi Murders: Series Preview

DEVIANT

Show Notes

In February 2017, Abigail Williams and Liberty German went for a walk near Delphi, Indiana and never came home.

What followed became one of the most haunting and divisive murder cases in modern American crime. An unusual crime scene. A video of the killer captured on a victim’s phone...the figure known as Bridge Guy. Years of speculation, accusations, and unanswered questions.

In 2022, a local man, Richard Allen, was arrested. In 2024, he was convicted. And yet, for many, the case still feels unresolved.

This February, DEVIANT host Dan Szematowicz takes a fresh, comprehensive look at the Delphi murders.

Over the course of the month, this special event series will examine the case from the beginning, incorporating years of newly released information, evidence that was not previously public, and insights gathered during and after the making of Down The Hill, including stories and information that very few know.

Each episode introduces a new piece of the story, examining the evidence carefully, methodically, and without an agenda.

Did Richard Allen kill Abby and Libby? If so, did he act alone? If not, who did? Were mistakes made by investigators or the courts? And when everything is laid out, what actually makes sense?

New episodes release Wednesdays and Fridays throughout February, beginning February 4. A short primer episode arrives first, outlining the key events and milestones for those new to the case or in need of a refresher.

This is not a recap. It is a full re-examination.

When it concludes, the goal is simple: to understand what the evidence truly shows and why this case continues to divide so many people.
