The Delphi Murders

The Quest to Find ‘The Man on the Bridge’

By: Nic Edwards, Brian Whitney

Narrated by: Kevin Pierce

On February 13, 2017, two Indiana teenagers, Abigail Williams, 13, and Liberty German, 14, went for a walk in the woods near the abandoned Monon High Bridge.

They never returned home.

Their bodies were discovered on Valentine's Day morning, sparking a torrent of news coverage and social media speculation that engrossed the attention of people around the world.

A grainy photo of the suspected killer walking across the bridge and a chilling cellphone recording of his voice saying "down the hill" captured the public's attention. Numerous possible suspects were brought to the attention of the authorities but dismissed, leaving everyone wondering who could have committed such a heinous crime.

Author Nic Edwards, host of the wildly popular True Crime Garage podcast, was fascinated by the case and for years conducted his own extensive research and commentary. As such he was able to dissect the investigation that included an extensive list of possible suspects, such as a hatchet-wielding lunatic, a kidnapper with unusual tattoos, a murderous pastor, a rapist, and a father and son catfishing team.

Then in late October 2022, local pharmacy technician Richard Allen was charged with the murders. His arrest raised multiple questions about how he was able to evade law enforcement for so long and what motivated him to commit such a horrific crime.

In The Delphi Murders: The Quest To Find ‘The Man on the Bridge’, Edwards and his best-selling coauthor Brian Whitney (You Have a Very Soft Voice, Susan) provide a detailed account of the investigation from the day the girls’ bodies were found to the events leading up to Allen's arrest, and unique insight into the minds of the killer and those who worked tirelessly to bring him to justice.

Great Storytelling!

As a loyal TCG listener, I knew I immediately had to give this a listen when I learned about it. Nic did not disappoint. He pulls no punches when describing those who may have been considered suspects. I eagerly await the trial to find out if Richard Allen is guilty. These girls’ deaths have gone unpunished for far too long.

Exceptional.

Well written, very thoughtful and detailed. This is for people who have never heard of the case before as well as for those who have followed it from day one. It also shares some behind the scenes information about True Crime Garage and their journey. This is for anyone who loves true crime, and a well written book.

Insightful and Thorough

A true crime must read, full of insight.
I finished in one session, unable to stop listening. 10/10 I cannot wait for more books from Nic.

Good Weekend Read

As an avid TCG listener, I was excited to listen to Nic’s book. It had a little bit of everything in it. It was a little scattered at times, but I did enjoy listening. Would definitely recommend for any true crime fan.

great listen. very informative.

As a true crime garage fan, very strange to hear another reading as the Captain. awesome and very in depth dive into the Delphi case.
