On Nov. 11, 2024, a jury convicted Richard Allen of murdering Abigail "Abby" Williams and Liberty "Libby" German. The girls, 13 and 14 respectively, didn't return from their afternoon hike on Feb. 13, 2017, in Delphi, Indiana, about 70 miles northwest of Indianapolis.
After deliberating for 18 hours, a jury of five men and seven women decided on Allen's guilt, but a new docuseries from ABC News Studios airs doubts that police apprehended the right man. The three-part "Capturing Their Killer: The Girls on the High Bridge" premieres on Hulu Aug. 5.
"Richard Allen is guilty and always will be," Libby's grandfather Mike Patty declares in a trailer shared exclusively with USA TODAY.

"I'm grateful that we got justice when we did," says Abby's mom, Anna Williams. Libby's mother, Carrie Timmons, also appears in the docuseries, which revisits the crime and capture of Allen and includes interviews with the victims' family and friends, as well as Sarah Nelson, a former public safety reporter for The Indianapolis Star, a part of the USA TODAY Network.
