Chilling last photo of 2 girls before being 'ritualistically sacrificed'
Lawyers for the suspected Delphi killer Richard Allen have claimed the two girls were actually "ritually sacrificed" in new court filings.
Libby German, 14, and Abby Williams, 13, disappeared in 2017 while hiking through Indiana's Delphi Historic Trails before their bodies were found the next day. According to the new claims, they were killed by members of a pagan Norse religion and white nationalist group called 'Odinism.'
After years of the case growing slowly colder, investigators charge local man Allen, 50, with the double murder late last year.
Now lawyers for the suspected killer have asked the presiding judge, Allen County Judge Frances Gull to throw out evidence collected during a search of his home before his arrest. They argue authorities had left out key information from their request for a search warrant.

The lawyers are now requesting a Franks hearing, which means they have reason to believe investigators withheld information from a judge or intentionally lied to get the search warrant approved.
Their filing, which runs over 130 pages, claims that a report by the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit found the "individual(s) responsible for the homicides were involved in Nordic beliefs."
It adds: "Due to either incompetence or a concerted intentionality, those in charge of the investigation refused to arrest or even properly investigate these obvious suspects."

“The Defense believes that the Court will be shocked at the number of clues or '', both before and after the murders, that he openly posted on his page that pointed the finger to his involvement in the murders,” the filings state.
Undermining the validity of the search warrant, the report also claims the FBI were convinced that “individual(s) responsible for the homicides were involved in Nordic beliefs.”
The document also accuses four other men of being involved with the murders, with one having allegedly confessed to murdering the girls to his sister.
The lawyers say 'runes' were found around the girls' bodies made out of sticks. They also claim Abby had sticks in her hair, which "crudely mimicked horns or antlers."

The official investigation is 'an utter failure in pursuing the Odinist suspects, in spite of powerful evidence of Odinites involvement in the murders,' Allen's attorneys say. The defence lawyers adamantly deny Allen’s involvement and say he has no links to Odinism, or any other pagan religions or white nationalist groups.
According to the filings, Rushville's ex-Assistant Police Chief Todd Click told prosecutors there were men who practised Odinism in or near Delphi with another group in Rushville in a letter. The cop, who has now retired, said in the letter that he and two other officers had “connected both groups of men to the murders.”
Nicholas McLeland, Carroll County Prosecutor, has openly stated that he believes “Allen is not the only actor involved in this,” but still insists he was involved.
