ALLEN COUNTY, Ind.– The defense team for Delphi murders suspect Richard Allen said Tuesday that hair was found in Abby Williams’ hand that didn’t match Allen. That’s the first time that information has been made public.
Jury selection also wrapped up on Tuesday. 17 jurors were selected, but the status of the 17th person is unclear. Allen is accused of killing both Williams and Libby German in Delphi back in 2017.

The prosecution for the State of Indiana filed a motion Tuesday morning asking Special Judge Fran Gull to prevent the defense or any of its witnesses from referencing sketches during the trial without permission from the judge.
Those were released not long after both girls were murdered in Delphi back in 2017. An updated sketch was sent out in 2019.
Allen was arrested for the girls murders in 2022. He continues to argue that he is innocent.
Wednesday will mark a break in trial before an additional hearing on Thursday in Allen County concerning the admissibility of the composite sketches.
Opening statements are scheduled to begin on Friday, when the proceedings shift to Carroll County.
