(DELPHI, Ind.) — A pair of teenage girls who were on the\u00a0Delphi, Indiana, hiking trail<\/a>\u00a0the same day two younger girls were murdered are speaking out about their recollections of the “bridge guy.”<\/p>\n

Railly Voorhies testified Tuesday at Richard Allen’s murder trial that she was on the\u00a0small-town trail on Feb. 13, 2017<\/a>, with a friend and two sisters.<\/p>\n

Voorhies, who was 16 at the time, said she passed a man near Freedom Bridge on her walk home.<\/p>\n

When asked to describe the man, Voorhies said he was a Caucasian man with his face covered. She said he was overdressed for the weather, had on dark clothes, was wearing a hat and had his hands in his pockets.<\/p>\n

The prosecution pulled up a photo of the “bridge guy” — the grainy image of the suspect walking on the bridge near where the girls were last seen — and Voorhies said, “That was the man I had waved at on the trail.”<\/p>\n

During cross-examination, defense attorney Jennifer Auger noted that Voorhies gave a different description of the man when interviewed earlier. Voorhies first described the man as in his early 20s or 30s with a bigger build, brown eyes, dirty blonde curly hair, a square jaw and a wrinkly face. She also said he was wearing black jeans, a black hoodie, black boots and a black mask.<\/p>\n

During redirect, prosecuting attorney Stacey Diener asked Voorhies if she had ever given a statement to police or asked to give a statement about estimating someone’s height or weight.<\/p>\n

Voorhies said, “No. I was certain that was the man that I saw. I can say with confidence the person in the picture is the person I saw.”<\/p>\n

Auger then asked Voorhies if the photo of the “bridge guy” influenced her memory, and Voorhies responded, “Possibly, yes.”<\/p>\n

Breann Wilber, who was on the trail that day with Voorhies, testified that she also noticed the man who was overdressed for the warm weather.<\/p>\n

She said the man was walking with a “purpose,” didn\u2019t respond when Voorhies said hello and gave off “weird vibes.”<\/p>\n

Wilber said that, when she saw the picture of the “bridge guy,” the “first thing I thought is — that is the person I saw on the trail.”<\/p>\n

During cross-examination, Wilber was also pressed on how her description of the man she saw on the trail changed over the years.<\/p>\n

Best friends Libby German, 14, and Abby Williams, 13, were walking along the trail when they were killed on the afternoon of Feb. 13, 2017.<\/p>\n

Libby posted a photo of Abby on Snapchat as they walked over the Monon High Bridge. After crossing the bridge, they saw a man behind them, and Libby started a recording on her phone at 2:13 p.m., prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

The man pulled out a gun and ordered the girls to go “down the hill,” prosecutors said. The girls complied, and then the video on Libby\u2019s phone stopped recording, according to prosecutors.<\/p>\n

The eighth graders’ bodies were discovered the next day.<\/p>\n

Allen, a Delphi resident,\u00a0was arrested in 2022<\/a>\u00a0and has pleaded not guilty to murder.<\/p>\n

Voorhies noted in court that she was friends with Libby and Abby on Snapchat, while Wilber said she knew Libby\u2019s older sister and was friends with Libby on Snapchat.<\/p>\n
