Judge proposes to release suspect in Delphi murders from prison

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Judge Frances Gull on Thursday proposed transferring Delphi murder suspect Richard Allen out of the Indiana Department of Corrections.

On the third day of court hearings for the Delphi murders, Gull granted the defense’s request to vacate Allen’s custody order. Allen will move out of the Indiana Department of Corrections while the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office will take over his custody and decide where he goes. Earlier this week, Carroll County Sheriff Tony Liggett said the Carroll County Jail would not house Allen. Liggett said he would speak with the Cass County Sheriff’s Office about the possibility of housing Allen in Cass County.

If Allen were moved to Cass County, he would be closer to his family and one of his attorneys’ offices.
