Attorneys for Richard Allen, the Indiana man accused of killing 14-year-old Liberty German and 13-year-old Abigail Williams on a hiking trail in February 2017, revealed that a hair found near the victims' bodies did not match Allen. This disclosure was made by Allen's attorney, Andrew Baldwin, during pre-jury selection proceedings in Carroll County.
Jurors were brought in from neighboring Allen County after Allen's legal team requested a change of venue due to concerns about impartiality in Carroll County. The case gained significant attention locally and nationally, with initial hopes that the disappearance of the girls would be a missing persons case rather than a murder investigation.
