    Absolutely. Which is why they should have done a simple press release saying he was charged with murder, the PC was sealed, and they couldn’t answer questions. Having a big production with dozens of news orgs on hand is weird.
    It's weird, but 2 of the 3 main speakers at the press conference are elected to their respective offices.

    And this should be brought up to these elected officials in public forum about wasting the public's time and money for self promotion. :nono:

    As Kelly stated above, this "announcement" could have been handled in a PR email. Of course, that would not have enabled all of the self praise. :xmad:

    Right. How many more back pattings without passing along information will there be?


    .
    Until the accused, Lord willing, is convicted, then Dateline, then until the hot shot, then a Dateline update...and then every time anyone involved in the investigation is up for reelection.

    Good to see Nick. We worked together in our other capacity. Always level headed.

    As to the the press conference, initially I would say that I am disappointed, only the ISP would make a press conference about two murdered girls about themselves, but that is kind of obvious now.

    ISP did not help themselves here. Should have been an e-mail. I know Carter is still butt hurt (deservedly so) over the debacle that ISP turned this investigation into after the painful switch in suspects. Let's hope it gets better.

    Could’ve done the press conference with an email.

    This was all that was needed, without pertinent information being passed along to the taxpayers...

    Arrest Made for the Murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German


    Carroll County – After an extensive investigation, the Delphi Double Homicide Task Force made an arrest for the murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German.
    On February 13, 2017, Abigail Williams and Liberty German were tragically murdered while visiting the Monon High Bridge in Delphi, IN. Shortly after, the Indiana State Police and Carroll County Sheriff’s office created the Delphi Double Homicide Task Force, which encompassed federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. This task force has worked diligently the last five and a half years to ensure this horrendous crime did not go unsolved.
    On Wednesday, October 26, 2022, detectives with the Delphi Double Homicide Task Force took Richard Allen, 50, from Delphi Indiana into custody at the Indiana State Police Lafayette Post for the murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German. Allen was transported to Carroll County Jail, where he was being held.
    On Friday, October 28, 2022, Allen was formally charged with two counts of murder and transported to the White County Jail, where he is currently being held without bond.
    We would like to thank everyone who was involved throughout this investigation, which included the Indiana State Police, Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, Delphi Police Department, Carroll County Prosecutor’s office, United States Marshals Service, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and numerous other federal and local agencies. These agencies have invested countless hours and resources into this investigation.
    This is an active and ongoing investigation. There is no further information to release at this time.
    *All criminal defendants are to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

    Oh...and of course there will be a motion to change venue, but exactly what county in Indiana could it be moved to?
    Well he's currently being held in the next county over, last report is he's in a cell about 5 minutes from me. Wasn't his house five minutes from the bridge or so?
    It's weird, but 2 of the 3 main speakers at the press conference are elected to their respective offices.
    Well one of the two can't run again at least in this election, but from reports another person that was there is who he was backing in the primary and now the general. And again from reports is alleged to have been promised to be made second in command if the guy wins.
