Allen is an employee of a CVS near Delphi, a source, who requested to be anonymous, told The U.S. Sun. ...The people who worked with him had no clue and were just as surprised as everyone else,... the source said. ...They're all just really hoping that there's some kind of a mistake in that it isn't him.

BACKGROUND OF DELPHI MURDERS Eighth graders Abby and Libby went missing while hiking through the woods near Indiana's historic Monon High Bridge on February 13, 2017. Their bodies were found the following day along Deer Creek, about a quarter of a mile east of the Monon High Bridge. How Abby and Libby were killed has yet to be revealed by police. Officials only divulged that the girls' bodies were ...posed... and that the suspect, who has yet to be officially identified by cops, undisclosed trophies were taken from each victim. Investigators have released key evidence in the case, including photos from Libby's phone and audio where an unidentified man tells the girls, ...Down the hill.... In the years since the murders police have released two different sketches of potential suspects. The forthcoming update comes after Indiana State Police troopers searched the Wabash River in Peru, Indiana, last month near the home of a man who is believed to be tied to the investigation. However, at the time, former FBI agent Paul Keenan said there was ...no coincidence... between the search and the murders. HEARTBREAKING MOM SPEAKS OUT Libby's mother, Carrie German, exclusively told The U.S. Sun last month that ...death would be too good... for whoever murdered her 14-year-old daughter and her best friend. ...I don't know if what I want to say about what I think should happen to them can be printed,... mused Carrie. ...But I will say death is too good for him...unless they bring back the electric chair. ...I want him to die a slow, painful death, that's for sure.... Before such a time, Carrie said she'd want to ask the culprit a series of questions to finally learn what happened to Libby and Abby. Chief among those questions is, ...why Libby and Abby? Why did these girls have to die?... she says. More than five and a half years later from her daughter's slaying, Carrie says she feels as though she's no closer to getting her questions answered than she was on day one of the investigation. PUZZLING CASE Nearly six years after the murders of Abby and Libby police have investigated multiple suspects they believe may have been involved in the killings. The land where the girls were killed was owned by Ron Logan. Police suspected Logan for a while because the alibi of his location on February 13, 2017, was a lie, according to a search warrant. However, Logan was later arrested for violating his probation and sent to prison to serve a suspended sentence, and has since died. Meanwhile, investigators also probed Kegan Kline, a man awaiting trial in Miami County for child exploitation and child pornography charges. A transcript of the detectives' interview with Kline indicated that Libby had contact with Kline's catfish social media account titled @anthony_shots. Kline admitted to using fake profiles on Instagram and Snapchat to lure underage girls into sending nude pictures after cops probed his social media activity in 2020.
