DELPHI, Ind. (Network Indiana) – The prosecutor for Carroll County has formally requested a denial of bail for Richard Allen.

Allen is the man accused of murdering Abby Williams and Libby German in Delphi back in 2017. The prosecutor filed the petition to deny bail on Tuesday. Allen’s bail hearing is coming up on February 17th. It’s there when a judge will decide whether or not Allen can be released on bail.
