Due to a labeling mix-up, a tip that defendant Richard Allen was seen on the Monon High Bridge on the day of the murders of Abigail Williams, 13, and Liberty "Libby" German, 14, in 2017, was not reviewed after September 2022.

Richard Allen, the man currently standing trial for the deaths of Delphi teenagers Abigail Williams and Liberty German, was interviewed by investigators within one week of the murders and originally labeled "cleared.

And that’s when Shank said she found a lead sheet in a file folder box labeled “Richard Allen Whiteman.” It was marked “cleared,” Shank said, but it was from a tip Allen sent in from Feb. 16, 2017, saying he was on the Monon High Bridge the day the girls went missing.
