Two teenage girls who were walking the trail in Delphi, Indiana, on the same day that two younger girls were murdered talk about their memories of the “Bridge Man.”

Railly Voorhies testified Tuesday in Richard Allen's murder trial that on February 13, 2017, she was on the trail in a small town with a friend and two sisters.

Voorhies, who was 16 at the time, said she passed a man near the Freedom Bridge on her way home.

When asked to describe the man, Voorhies said he was a Caucasian male with his face covered. She said he was overdressed for the weather, wearing dark clothing, wearing a hat and with his hands in his pockets.

Prosecutors pulled out 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 met on the “

During cross-examination, defense attorney Jennifer Auger noted that Voorhies had described the man differently in an earlier interview. Voorhies initially described the man as being in his early 20s or 30s, with a taller build, brown eyes, dirty blonde curls, a square jaw and a wrinkled face. She also said he was wearing black jeans, a black hoodie, black boots and a black mask.

During the transfer, prosecutor Stacey Diener asked Voorhies if she had ever made a statement to police or asked for a statement to estimate someone's height or weight.

Voorhies said, “No. I was sure that was the man I saw. I can say with certainty that the person in the picture is the person I saw.”

Auger then asked Voorhies if the “Bridge Guy” photo had affected her memory, and Voorhies replied, “Possibly yes.”

Breann Wilber, who was with Voorhies that day, testified that she also noticed the man who was overdressed for the warm weather.

She said the man left with a “purpose,” didn't respond when Voorhies said “hello” and was giving off “strange vibrations.”

Wilber said that when she saw the image of the “Bridge Man,” “the first thing I thought was, That's the person I saw on the trail.”

During cross-examination, Wilber was also pressed on how her description of the man she saw on the trail had changed over the years.

Delphi resident Sarah Carbaugh, who visited the trail almost daily, testified that around 4 p.m. that day she saw a man covered in mud and blood walking down an area street.

“I looked at him, but he wasn't making eye contact with me,” Carbaugh said on the witness stand Wednesday.

Carbaugh said when she got home, she learned that Libby German, 14, and Abby Williams, 13, were missing when she received an AMBER alert. She later said she saw the photo of the “Bridge Guy” on the news and recognized him as the man she had seen on the street.

During cross-examination, Carbaugh was pressed about her discrepancies about the man's clothing and confronted with the fact that she did not mention blood in her initial interviews with police.

Libby and Abby were walking along the path when they were killed on the afternoon of February 13, 2017.

Libby posted a photo on Snapchat of Abby as they walked across 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.

The man pulled out a gun and ordered the girls to go “down the hill,” prosecutors said. The girls obeyed, and then the video stopped recording on Libby's phone, prosecutors said.

The next day the bodies of the best friends were discovered.

Allen, a Delphi resident, was arrested in 2022 and pleaded not guilty to murder.

Voorhies stated in court that she was friends with Libby and Abby on Snapchat, while Wilber said she knew Libby's older sister and was friends with Libby on Snapchat.
