ALLEN COUNTY, Ind. — When attorneys in the Delphi murders case arrive in court later this month, two pressing issues will be at hand.
Special Judge Fran Gull set a hearing for 9 a.m. on Feb. 12 in Fort Wayne focused on two motions filed by the prosecution in January. Richard Allen, charged with two counts of murder in the February 2017 deaths of Abby Williams and Libby German near the Monon High Bridge, is set to appear.
