UPDATED WITH STUNNING INVESTIGATION AND TRIAL COVERAGE!
“A crime story with heart. Impressively researched and written with passion."--Patrick Quinlan, Los Angeles Times Best Selling author of ALL THOSE MOMENTS
On February 13, 2017, Indiana teenagers, Abigail Williams, 13, and Liberty German, 14, went for a walk in the woods near the abandoned Monon High Bridge.
They never made it home.
Their bodies were discovered on Valentine's Day morning, sparking a torrent of news coverage and rampant social media speculation that captured the attention of people around the world.
A grainy photo of the suspected killer walking across the bridge and a chilling cellphone recording of his voice saying "down the hill" riveted the public. Numerous suspects were considered by authorities but dismissed, leaving everyone wondering who could have committed such a heinous crime.
Fascinated by the case, Nic Edwards, host of the wildly popular True Crime Garage podcast, conducted extensive research into the investigation and the list of possible suspects, including a hatchet-wielding lunatic, a kidnapper with unusual tattoos, a murderous pastor, a rapist, and a father and son catfishing team.
Then in late October 2022, local pharmacy technician Richard Allen was charged with the murders, raising questions. How was he able to evade law enforcement so long? What were his motivations?
In THE DELPHI MURDERS: The Quest To Find ‘The Man On The Bridge’, Edwards and bestselling co-author Brian Whitney (YOU HAVE A VERY SOFT VOICE, SUSAN) provided a detailed account of the investigation from the day the girls’ bodies were found to the events leading up to Allen's arrest, and unique insight into the minds of the killer and those who worked tirelessly to bring him to justice.
Case Closed! Authors Nic Edwards and Brian Whitney have teamed up again to update the investigation that followed the publication of their book in May 2023 up through the shocking trial of Richard Allen that concluded in November 2024.
