The 51-year-old man accused of killing two Delphi‚ Indiana‚ teenagers in 2017 has had new charges filed against him. Richard Allen was charged in October 2022 with two counts of murder while committing or attempting to commit the kidnapping of 13-year-old Abby Williams and 14-year-old Libby German on a hiking trail in 2017. On Thursday‚ Carroll County Prosecutor Nicholas McLeland filed a request to amend the charges to include two additional counts of murder and two counts of kidnapping‚ WTHR reported. McLeland said in his filing that the inclusion “more accurately aligns the charging information with the cause’s discovery and probable cause affidavit‚” according to documents reviewed by WTHR. Allen’s trial is scheduled to begin in October‚ and McLeland said his defense attorneys should have “adequate time to prepare to defend the amended charges.” McLeland filed the new charges on Thursday‚ the same day the Indiana Supreme Court ruled that Allen’s original defense attorneys‚ Andrew Baldwin and Bradley Rozzi‚ should be reinstated‚ CBS News reported. At the same time‚ the state Supreme Court denied Allen’s request to remove Special Judge Fran Gull from the case and for the trial to take place within 70 days of its ruling. Allen‚ a CVS worker and father‚ is accused of forcing Abby and Libby off of a trail they were hiking and into a wooded area‚ where he allegedly killed them both. With Baldwin and Rozzi reinstated‚ he will likely defend himself by claiming the girls were killed by “[m]embers of a pagan Norse religion‚ called Odinism‚ hijacked by white nationalists.” “Richard Allen has zero connections to any pagan cult or pagan cultists‚ and furthermore no forensic evidence (such as DNA) or electronic evidence links Richard Allen to the girls or to the crime scene – i.e.‚ he is a completely innocent man‚” his attorneys wrote in a filing last September. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The attorneys said in the filing that two groups of Odinists‚ one from Delphi and the other from Rushville‚ Indiana‚ were investigated for their possible involvement in the murders. As evidence the girls were murdered as part of a ritual sacrifice‚ the attorneys point to ritualistic symbols allegedly found at the crime scene‚ which include the strange way young Libby’s body was positioned. A March 2017 search warrant request from the FBI noted that the girls’ bodies looked as though they had been “moved and staged.” The filing also notes that investigators didn’t further investigate the alleged ritualistic symbols left at the crime scene‚ which included sticks and tree branches placed on the girls’ bodies that mimicked certain Norse runes. At least one branch appeared to have been cut with an electronic device‚ suggesting premeditation‚ the defense argues. Libby’s blood was also used to paint a rune on a tree that was identified as a calling card of the pagan religious cult‚ they added. Carroll County Prosecutor Nicholas McLeland dismissed the theory as a “fanciful defense for social media to devour.”

A bald eagle named Murphy had the internet cracking up when he tried to hatch a rock. Now‚ he’s proving to the world what a great dad he can be! After watching the eagle protect a rock as though it were his own child‚ the World Bird Sanctuary in St. Louis‚ Missouri decided to make him a foster parent. They had just rescued an orphaned chick from a fallen nest‚ and they figured that Murphy was just the bird to take the eaglet under his wing. It’s a good thing that the animal sanctuary intervened when they did. Apparently‚ the bald eagle was so protective of his rock child that he was making the enclosure unsafe for the other birds! However‚ when Murphy began to parent an actual eaglet‚ observers reported that he was “a wonderful‚ gentle papa.” Screengrab from TikTok “This is the kind of bonding we’re looking for‚” the World Bird Sanctuary said‚ according to Fox Weather. Unlike Murphy‚ the chick did not receive a name. Apparently‚ sanctuary had some bad luck with named creatures in the past. Because of that‚ they’ve simply been referring to the little bird as 23-126. “The rehab superstition is that named patients are cursed and either end up dying or being non-releasable‚” they said. Murphy the Bald Eagle Proved Himself To Be The Best Dad Ever! Despite any fears for the orphaned eaglet’s future‚ Murphy did a great job raising his real-life child. In fact‚ the young bird has been released from the enclosure and allowed to fly free! The World Bird Sanctuary celebrated the occasion on social media. After an incredible journey‚ 23-126 was released back to the wild earlier today!

When a kid wrote a letter to a toy company requesting they create a stuffed animal based on his favorite animal‚ they heard his plea. Clark Neily is all grown up now. But as a second grader‚ he was obsessed with aardvarks. In a tweet‚ he explained that he wrote a report about them for school‚ and the research got him hooked. One day he went into a store and saw some stuffed animals created by a company called Possum Trot. And he was disappointed that there were no aardvarks available. Clark decided to write the company and gave a researched argument on why they should include the mammal in its lineup. He did such a great job convincing them‚ that they manufactured on within six months. What made it even better is that the company named the toy “Clark.” X (Twitter) The Letter Earned the Kid the Debut Clark the Aardvark In the letter‚ Clark explained that he’d been a “fan” of the company for some time‚ and he’d recently visited a store that sold their stuffed beavers. He “fell in love” with it “immediately.” But he wanted another toy to love‚ too. “I was wondering if by any chance you would make an Aardvark‚” he wrote. “This is often an animal that gets confused with anteaters. Some people say ‘big deal‚ what’s the difference?” “There really is a difference. Anteater’s tails are shaggy‚ their snout is longer‚ and they have shorter ears‚” he explained. “I’ll draw you a picture.” Clark sketched booth animals and went on to remind them not to “get mixed up” if they manufactured the toy. He also asked the company to write back with its answer either way. X (Twitter) Possum Trot ended up responding that summer. In its letter‚ a representative apologized for taking so long to respond. They also included the debut of Clark the Aardvark. “We took your letter very seriously‚ and we hope our aardvark meets with your approval. We look forward to hearing from fans like you‚ and we hope you will continue to let us know what you think of our toys.” Clark still has his aardvark to this day. And the story remains one of his favorite childhood memories. Share this story and remind people why being a kid was the best part of life.
