Jurors in Delphi, Indiana, murder case watch video from victim’s phone

DELPHI, Ind. (CBS) – Jurors in the murder trial in Delphi, Indiana, took a closer look at some of the case’s most concrete evidence on Tuesday.

Richard Allen52, is just around the corner four counts of murder in connection with the murders of Abigail Williams, 13, and Liberty “Libby” German, 14, in 2017.

A video taken from Libby’s cell phone just before the murder shows a man believed to be the killer walking across a bridge. On Tuesday, the jury was able to see a longer version of the video for the first time.

A digital forensic analyst also testified about how he obtained the data from the phone.

Also on Tuesday, lead crime scene investigator Brian Olehy brought several key pieces of evidence from or near the crime scene to trial – but they were not presented to the jury, according to CBS affiliate WTTV in Indianapolis.

During cross-examination, defense attorney Brad Rozzi asked several times whether swabs from the crime scene contained DNA linking Allen to the crime scene, WTTV reported. Olehy said he was not aware of any such connection.

Olehy also testified that he believed the branches found on the girls’ bodies were placed there to conceal them, and said it was a “logical assumption” that Libby was “undressed” – since she was some of Abby’s clothing, WTTV reported. He said investigators were unable to determine the sequence of events and did not test the sticks found with the bodies, the station reported.

There was also testimony about a single unspent bullet at the crime scene, which is the focus of the case against Allen, the station reported.

It also heard testimony from Railly Voorhies, a 16-year-old high school student who happened to be walking near the Liberty Bridge in Delphi and saw a “disturbing” man glaring at her, WTTV reported. She said the image of the man on the bridge documented in Libby’s phone was the man she saw, the station reported.

Another witness, Betys Blair, also testified that she saw the man on the bridge, WTTV reported.
