Updates to follow 👇🏼

📸: Li Buszka The prosecution played eight recorded telephone conversations involving Allen.

The conversations range from November 2022 to June 2023, when Allen was being held at the Westville Correctional Facility.

McLeland outlined that Allen was making incriminating statements during those calls. Jurors heard Allen tell his wife Kathy that he killed Abby and Libby.

Kathy would tell him, "No, you didn't it. You're not well. You didn't do those things."

Day 10 in #Delphi, updates to follow 👇🏼 Sorry for the delay, it was a long day in court and I just got caught up with all of my website stuff. Updates are coming now!

Day 9 in #Delphi started with testimony from Stacy Bozinovski, a forensic scientist and DNA analyst.

She tested a multitude of DNA evidence:

• Abby Williams' rape kit
• Libby German's rape kit
• Swabs from Libby’s body
• Swabs from Abby’s body
• Blood samples collected from the scene
• Swabs from the ground
• Swabs from the trees
• Clothing found at the scene
• A .40 caliber Smith & Wesson cartridge discovered at the scene

Bozinovski testified, none of the items she tested contained the DNA of Richard Allen. Bozinovski said most of the swabs from the crime scene contained blood from Abby or Libby or a mixture of both.

The single strand of hair found in Abby's hand was determined to have come from Kelsi German, Libby German's older sister.

Bozinovski noted there was "some male" DNA found under the girls' fingernails and also from external genital swabs, but she added, there was no sufficient DNA found.

She stated the amounts detected were "very, very little." She also said the presence of male DNA likely comes from living with a man (or men) or perhaps from laundry or shared surfaces.
