Chilling New Footage Emerges in Delphi Case—But Does It Matter?
In a startling twist, a newly released video has surfaced, capturing the haunting final moments of Abigail “Abby” Williams and Liberty “Libby” German, who were tragically murdered during a hike in Delphi, Indiana, back in February 2017. The footage, posted by supporters of convicted killer Richard Allen, paints an unsettling picture of the girls’ panic as they sensed danger lurking just out of sight. As the 43-second clip unfolds, viewers hear Abby whispering, “Is he?” while the ominous presence of the so-called “Bridge Guy” looms in the background, a figure that has become synonymous with this chilling case.
Libby’s camera captures a moment of vulnerability—her sniffles echoing the anxiety of the situation. “See, this is the path,” Libby states, as she points the camera towards the ground, before making a startling admission: “Umm, there’s no path going there.” The footage culminates in the unsettling command from “Bridge Guy”: “Guys, down the hill.” This phrase has haunted the community and fueled speculation about the circumstances surrounding their disappearance.
Allen was convicted in November 2024 for the murders, receiving a staggering 130-year prison sentence, but his supporters vehemently claim he is the victim of a wrongful conviction. Interestingly, they allege that the new video could be pivotal in his post-conviction legal work, although Allen’s appellate lawyer, Stacy Uliana, clarified that they are not affiliated with this website and lack access to the newly released footage. Meanwhile, the defense attempted to introduce a bizarre theory during the trial, suggesting the girls were victims of a ritualistic killing by Odinists—a claim dismissed by the court due to insufficient evidence.
As the case continues to unravel, Libby’s grandfather, Mike Patty, poignantly reminds us of the joy the girls brought into the world. They were inseparable in life, navigating both school and the scenic trails of Delphi together. While the new footage adds a layer of complexity to the narrative, one must wonder: does it truly change the course of justice, or simply serve as a grim reminder of a tragedy that has left an indelible mark on the community?
