A judge on Tuesday delayed until October the murder trial of an Indiana man charged in the killings of two teenage girls after the man's attorneys expressed concerns they would not have adequate time to present their case. Richard Allen's trial was set to begin next week with jury selection in Allen County for a May 13 to May 31 trial in Carroll County. Special Judge Frances Gull set the new trial date on Tuesday for Oct. 14 through Nov. 15.
He's pleaded not guilty to murder charges. In March, Gull approved two additional murder charges against Allen. A relative of one of the teenagers dropped them off on Feb. 13, 2017, at a hiking trail near their hometown of Delphi, about 60 miles northwest of Indianapolis. They were reported missing that evening after they failed to show up at a location where they had arranged to be picked up. Their bodies were found the next day in a rugged, heavily wooded area near the trail.
