@@TheJoshADon’t. She didn’t have to explain the sentiment of why she did that because most people would understand it as a genuine, kind gesture in memory of the girls.
What really breaks my heart is knowing that one of them had to see their best friend murdered and know that they were next. Such a freakin senseless and sad case.
Always wonder why in the world would you stay quiet at that point? Saying that you think you might can still get out of it is out of the door once you see your friends neck cut,vso why won't you screaming as loud as you possibly could?....
With two of them being best friends and little girls, I'm sure he told them if they stayed quiet their friend would be safe. Probably separates then so they couldn't plan an escape. Each being too loyal to the other to scream or run away.
There’s not enough money in the world to bribe me to cross that bridge. Makes my palms sweat just looking at your video! Thanks for your coverage, Lee.
I think those girls initially went willingly with someone they were meeting there - someone met online possibly? The fact that they didn’t scream or protest is odd. They silently walked off to meet their doom? I don’t think so. Richard Allen is innocent in my opinion. This whole case is a black eye for the ISP, I’m so disappointed. I’m from Indiana and I’m ashamed of the way this case has been handled.
It’s very haunting how the trees have grown up and hang over that far side of the bridge. Almost in mourning. Thanks so much for all you are doing Lawyer Lee and for taking us with you! ❤ RIP sweet angels
If you have never been held at gunpoint with a daughter/ sister/friend, you have no idea how scared u are. Your brain doesnt even process whats happening for a minute
I agree - I think they didn’t scream because he had them at gunpoint, so they were afraid he would shoot them. Also, they didn’t know he was going to kill them, so they might have thought if they cooperated with him, they would survive. I’ve seen enough crime shows to know you should never be taken from the site of an abduction - you should fight and scream and do everything you can to not be taken away. But these were children.
@@lsmith7534 in the audio from Libby’s phone, she says he has a gun. There was an unspent bullet found where they were killed. And RA said he had a gun with him.
They may not have screamed if they were being threatened, forced, muffled, or otherwise controlled. If held at gunpoint, I think most people might think screaming is a guaranteed way to get shot.
Yep, my 15 yo son had a gun pulled on him on a walk last month, we live in what is considered a safe town in IN as well, and he said he was frozen and just did what the guy told him to do. We never know what we will do in that situation. Thankfully the kid was caught the same night and has been in jail since
Honestly I don’t think i would have screamed. I can’t even squeeze out a scream in a haunted house because I get catatonic. I can see people being silent
Hoosier here as well… I’m embarrassed to admit that I had not even really known of this case until about 3 years ago. I live in Indpls and a good friend of mine had been following it. She and her family went to the bridge soon after it happened and she was talking about it to me. Anyway, now I’m more obsessed than she is…oh my goodness…
Hoosier cold case YT channel walked from the cemetery thru the creek up the ravine towards the Monon high bridge there a private road it steep. It took him 30 mins but he walked it yesterday unlike wen the girls died in Feb and he entered from the otherwise where the girls were kidnapped check it out it puts more perspective on what happened

Thank you again Lawyer Lee! Just became a subscriber. I'm an investigative journalist and I really appreciate your approach, taking us to the scene, contextualizing the in and out of court factual evidence entered into the record.
I see a lot of UA-camrs and others out walking in this area alone. Then, think about the fact that I don’t think they have the right person who did this & the bad person or people well could be out there still. Please be careful and mindful of your surroundings.
Thank you for providing so much spatial and visual context to the area. I've been following the case since 2019 and am so grateful for your heart and objectivity-focused reasoning. It's hard to imagine such a brutal event occurring in such a beautiful area. Thank you again, and RIP Abby & Libby. 🌈
Thank you Lawyer Lee for showing us this park. When this crime happened and they first showed the video of bridge guy and Libby on the Monon bridge, I was so confused. It looked so barren and depressing. I couldn't imagine why two young girls would have chosen such a depressing place to hang out and spend the day. But now I get it. It's truly a beautiful and peaceful park. It would be a wonderful place to hike, sit and just spend some quiet time. Now I can easily picture two young girls happily spending their day off at such a place. It makes more sense now. How horrible that someone brought this sort of evil to this beautiful spot.
How great it would be if the road to justice was as easy and unencumbered as this walk you're taking, Lawyer Lee! Thank you so much for being our eyes and ears in Delphi, Indiana. Your excellent daily summaries are very informative and much appreciated.
No she’s biased. She leans towards the defense even though bridge guy looked like him & he’s confessed & didn’t act crazy until his wife told him to shut up. Then his attorneys showed up.
@@lorimorelI said lawyer Lee was unbiased. The fact is innocent until proven guilty. The defense starts their case next week and the prosecution has left me with so many questions. Looking forward to more Lawyer Lee reporting.
Has there ever been a defense attorney EVER who thought any defendant was guilty? They all think EVERY defendant on every trial is NOT GUILTY. Unbiased....
@@usaroxxx that isn’t the case. A lot of defense attorneys do think/know their client is guilty, they just think they deserve a trial that is fair based on the constitution. Do you think innocent people are never arrested/convicted?
The problem is they were found murdered in February so they're probably wasn't any leaves on the trees. It would have looked totally different than it does in this video.
Just watching this feels eerie, I can only imagine how it feels being the one filming with how deep into this case you are. God bless your journey and thank you for sharing this, gives such a entirely new perspective to true crime...thank you!
Ma’am, I can’t thank you enough for this video. I’ve been hoping for something as clear as this to better understand the location and orientation of things for years now. 16:55 is a GREAT explanation. 20:00 as well. Thank you again. 🤙🏽
Thank you so much for going there. Yes....the river does appear to be very clear and I can't believe how steep the hills are through the woods. Thank you so much for ALL that you do. So appreciated!
Lawyer Lee, you coverage of this case is my "go too" source for information. You provide information and education and make us feel like we are there with you. Once again thank you.
OMGosh, you're brave to go there. I hope you weren't alone. Thank you for so doggedly covering the cases that you bring to us, Lawyer Lee. Rest in peace, Abby and Libby.
Apparently they were. Multiple channels mention this, it’s something that was talked a lot about in the beginning but I think the Judge didn’t let this evidence in. Among lots of other things.
@@Caareenkm6726 I don’t think so and I also read that Libby’s sister had full access to her Snapchat account and had gotten in there and deleted it. She actually says in an interview that she did delete stuff.
I wouldn’t yell for help if someone was holding a gun to my best friend’s head. I’m not at all surprised they didn’t yell or scream - they were hoping to be let go and survive.
Exactly-we have no idea if we would fight, take flight, or freeze. And I’m guessing the latter with them worried not only about themselves but each other.
@@deaj8450are you suggesting they were moved? Possibly but I believe it’s also possible the girls were in a state of shock from the moment they were abducted. When you’re panicked like they most likely were, you can’t think straight. Breaks my heart just thinking about it
Lee, I am loving the coverage, you’re doing an awesome job. I saw a video by Hoosier Cold Cases yesterday at the end of the bridge and below showing the intensity of the ravine, peaks and valleys that I think you will really enjoy. Seeing the terrain really assists in understanding the events of that tragic day. RIP dear sweet girls
You're amazing. Thank you for all you do for us and the victims. We need transparency and without your coverage we would not have it. I've been following you for a few months now and on behalf of those always seeking justice we thank you 😊
Abby’s autopsy indicated she may have been gagged. Is it possible the girls were gagged and therefore unable to scream for help? Thank you Lawyer Lee for all of your hard work and amazing videos!
Stunning scenery! Thanks, Lee. Been really enjoying your coverage of this sad, horrible, case. Those kids should still be here with us, most especially with their families.
My daughter was in a very scary situation with several men. And you don't scream because you're frozen with fear. If you've ever been so frightened, you will know that you sometimes can't even scream.
I love your coverage. I listen to you, Andrea and the Mottas. No one saw girls in the area on 2/13... correct? Kelsi was the last person to see them. alive. Kelsi had the passwords to Libby's accounts. Kelsi was in contact with the Anthony Shotts profile. LE said the picture of Libby that was a snapshot was not on Libby's phone. Abby wore the same outfit the day before. Is that why she is redressed in Libby's clothes? Where's her shirt and jacket? Why did Abby have Kelsi's hair by the root in her hand. Why did Kelsi factory reset phone? I am not accusing but questioning.
Thank you Lawyer Lee for covering this Trial for all of us! I’m a former Hoosier, born and raised in South Bend, Indiana (Northern Indiana) This is so sad to think about those poor girls and what they must have gone through! Justice for Abby & Libby! ❤😢
The railing is most likely Corten steel, which is used in outdoor construction and will develop a rusty patina fairly quickly. However, it's not "rusting away", and isn't meant to be painted.
@@nenehoward8629My first thought was omg these teen girls were walking on this high bridge with no barriers. They could have tripped off anything. Obviously I know that was the least of their worries now but that is a dangerous spot for even an adult to be walking.
I’m so glad you went out there. This is such a good video. I went out at night the first night I was there, but I just got overwhelmed with emotion and had to stop.
Fall foliage is always beautiful, but the crime happened in February and the scene looked much different then. Desolate, gray, cold and eerie. Plus the bridge has been repaired.
L.L. Is amazing !! There should be some type of award she could get for this coverage. There are just some people in life that are meant to teach and Lee is one of those people. I wasn’t much interested in this case , first of all I thought it was a cut and dry case. Listening to Lee makes one interested. She is amazing
If you watch Julie Melvins' video from 7 years ago, once you have seen the area, her video will make it clearer how the area around the bridge is. Thank you for doing this.
This is the way I spend my free time. It rips my heart apart when a child is laughing then gets hurt. 🙏🕯️❣️for the family. RIP girls with no more hurt.😢
Thank you so much Lawyer Lee for taking us on this very important tour of the area. Now everything is starting to make sense of what this bridge was all about.
LE doesn't want to give a fair, constitutionally compliant trial. They just want to frame him, drive him mad so he confesses, and get him locked away for life or unalived as a scapegoat to their shoddy work and bad investigation. It's not the first time and sadly won't be the last.
I cry watching this video. It’s me and my best friend “exploring”. We had so many close calls and laughed together about each one. Years later we marveled at our naïveté and good fortune.
Thanks for the walk, Lee. So very sad that such a beautiful and peaceful area has forever been tainted by the actions of a monster or monsters. I await the defense’s case and further evidence to convince me beyond a reasonable doubt that Richard Alan is the monster.
Thank you so much, Lawyer Lee, for showing us the beautiful Autumnal colours of the leaves on the Monon High Bridge. It is very scenic and understandable that many would go walking there including Abby and Libby. RIP Abby and Libby
Spectacular photographers dream place to currently shoot . Thank you Lee I’m hoping you go and video the Libby and Abby Memorial park while you’re there. Especially the baseball field and engraved bricks. Worthy cause I’ve donated to. 🙏🏼
Fear is a terrible thing. I remember seeing a man on my back porch looking in my window. And I called 911 in a panic. In my mind I was yelling and panicking. My mom told me that I was speaking normal and calm.
Thanks for sharing your video. It makes evidence in this case much more clear. You can also see how hard it is to see deeper into the woods. He had those girls out of sight of any other hikers.
My guess is if they didn’t scream was at first he threatened to kill one or the other if they made a noise. Perhaps he said he’d let them go if they were quiet. By the time the murdered one the other girl was probably in shock or frozen in fear? I hate the way people assume, and state they would do this or that. No, you have no idea how you or your body would react in a situation like this.
Yet Libby and Abby seemed to think it was a lark. Running on that bridge, messing with cell phones. One wrong step and they would've fallen to their deaths.
Such a wonderful video! It's like knowing true evil invaded a place of peace for those beautiful, young girls. Unfathomable that a "selfish" sicko could be capable of this horror.
How did two girls having a walk together end in such horror? It's so sad. Women and girls are not safe anymore, count how many times a year this happens just in your own country.
If the clothes were where you said and the bodies were you say, then the Allen confession makes sense in the way he described that it happened, depending on where the road was (where he saw the white van)
It is so open, and in winter would have been even more open with no leaves. Whoever did this, took a huge risk not to get caught . Also, to attempt to take two teenage girls who may they’ll and scream? It makes no sense for someone with no criminal history….
Also in his “confession “ he said he was startled by the van yet he took time to kill them dressed Abby arranged their bodies and cover with branches, wouldn’t he have ran !
I drove 40 miles to walk on the trail a couple of days ago. I left some flowers from my garden, said a prayer and drove home. RIP Abby and Libby.
That is so sweet of you
What a beautiful way to pay tribute to Abby and Libby ❤
That is very thoughtful. Thank you for doing that and sharing it. 💛💛💛

I wasn’t much interested in this case , first of all I thought it was a cut and dry case. Listening to Lee makes one interested. She is amazing
Thank you so much for all that you’re doing in the name of justice. ❤
If you watch Julie Melvins' video from 7 years ago, once you have seen the area, her video will make it clearer how the area around the bridge is. Thank you for doing this.
Excellent footage Lawyer Lee much appreciated to give us a Birds Eye view
Thank you for covering. ♥️
Thank you so much for taking us to the bridge soo 😢 so many ?'s don't know how 1 person could do this you are a very special person 💕
The scenery is so pretty.
This is the way I spend my free time. It rips my heart apart when a child is laughing then gets hurt. 🙏🕯️❣️for the family. RIP girls with no more hurt.😢
Thank you so much Lawyer Lee for taking us on this very important tour of the area. Now everything is starting to make sense of what this bridge was all about.
😢😢❤❤ its beautiful scenery thank you for sharing this VIDEO 😊
Thank you for this video, Lee! I appreciate your hard work on this case.
Good morning and Happy Friday!
Thank you for doing this for us. So sad but definitely gives a perspective.
???? If Allen is so mentally disturbed, why wasn't a competency hearing called to see if he was fit to stand trial? ???
LE doesn't want to give a fair, constitutionally compliant trial. They just want to frame him, drive him mad so he confesses, and get him locked away for life or unalived as a scapegoat to their shoddy work and bad investigation.
It's not the first time and sadly won't be the last.
I cry watching this video. It’s me and my best friend “exploring”. We had so many close calls and laughed together about each one. Years later we marveled at our naïveté and good fortune.
Exploring can get you killed.
Thanks for the walk, Lee. So very sad that such a beautiful and peaceful area has forever been tainted by the actions of a monster or monsters. I await the defense’s case and further evidence to convince me beyond a reasonable doubt that Richard Alan is the monster.
Thank you so much, Lawyer Lee, for showing us the beautiful Autumnal colours of the leaves on the Monon High Bridge. It is very scenic and understandable that many would go walking there including Abby and Libby.
RIP Abby and Libby
Spectacular photographers dream place to currently shoot . Thank you Lee I’m hoping you go and video the Libby and Abby Memorial park while you’re there. Especially the baseball field and engraved bricks. Worthy cause I’ve donated to. 🙏🏼
Fear is a terrible thing. I remember seeing a man on my back porch looking in my window. And I called 911 in a panic. In my mind I was yelling and panicking. My mom told me that I was speaking normal and calm.
Wow. Thanks for showing this. Really appreciate gorgeous area. Poor babies
Thanks for sharing your video. It makes evidence in this case much more clear. You can also see how hard it is to see deeper into the woods. He had those girls out of sight of any other hikers.
My guess is if they didn’t scream was at first he threatened to kill one or the other if they made a noise. Perhaps he said he’d let them go if they were quiet. By the time the murdered one the other girl was probably in shock or frozen in fear? I hate the way people assume, and state they would do this or that. No, you have no idea how you or your body would react in a situation like this.
Thank you for filming this, it made things a B lot more clear and real.
How on earth was that bridge accessible to the public without rails? Seems extremely dangerous!
Yet Libby and Abby seemed to think it was a lark. Running on that bridge, messing with cell phones. One wrong step and they would've fallen to their deaths.
Yes and parents allowed them to go on the trail alone.
Thank You so much Lee for taking us with you. ❤
What a beautiful place ❤. Thank you Lee.
Such a wonderful video! It's like knowing true evil invaded a place of peace for those beautiful, young girls. Unfathomable that a "selfish" sicko could be capable of this horror.
How did two girls having a walk together end in such horror? It's so sad. Women and girls are not safe anymore, count how many times a year this happens just in your own country.
Boys and men are victims of violent crime too. Would you imagine even walking onto the bridge to be a safe activity? Nope, but people still did it.
Thanks for your work and helping us get a Birds Eye view of the trial and now the location.
If the clothes were where you said and the bodies were you say, then the Allen confession makes sense in the way he described that it happened, depending on where the road was (where he saw the white van)
You go above and beyond. Thank you!
They should have put trail cams in the woods at the crime scene.These creeps often revisit the scene of their crimes to reminisce.
Thank you Lawyer Lee!!! Your coverage is amazing.
It is so open, and in winter would have been even more open with no leaves. Whoever did this, took a huge risk not to get caught . Also, to attempt to take two teenage girls who may they’ll and scream? It makes no sense for someone with no criminal history….
Also in his “confession “ he said he was startled by the van yet he took time to kill them dressed Abby arranged their bodies and cover with branches, wouldn’t he have ran !
@@wendytaylor1701 Not "cover" with branches, but carefully place branches into symbolic positioning.
Praying for Justice for Libby and Abby and sending an abundance of my prayers, love and comfort to their families.
One can completely understand why, on such a mild February day, the girls wanted to take a walk in the park.
They were not in a park. They were on a dangerous bridge with few people around in a desolate wooded area.
Very interesting! Thanks for making the trip and reporting on it!
