- 1:37Speaker 1: Crime on lized John Lemley. A judge has sentenced fifty
- 1:40Speaker 1: two year old Richard Allen to the maximum of one
- 1:43Speaker 1: hundred and thirty years in prison for the twenty seventeen
- 1:46Speaker 1: murders of thirteen year old Abigail Williams and fourteen year
- 1:50Speaker 1: old Liberty German in Delphi, Indiana. For details, we turned
- 1:54Speaker 1: as Sydney Sumner of Crime Online.
- 1:56Speaker 3: The teenagers vanished during a winter hike and their bodies
- 1:59Speaker 3: were found the next stay with their throats cut. Allan,
- 2:02Speaker 3: convicted last month on two counts of murder and two
- 2:04Speaker 3: counts of murder during a kidnapping, has continued to maintain
- 2:07Speaker 3: his innocence. The sentence came after an emotional hearing where
- 2:11Speaker 3: family members of the victims shared their grief and called
- 2:14Speaker 3: for justice. Following the decision, Allan's defense attorneys announced plans
- 2:18Speaker 3: to appeal, arguing that his mental health and the lack
- 2:21Speaker 3: of direct forensic evidence should warrant a new trial. The
- 2:24Speaker 3: case gained national attention over the years, partly due to
- 2:27Speaker 3: a break in twenty twenty two, when a misplaced police
- 2:30Speaker 3: tip was rediscovered identifying Allan as a person of interest.
- 2:34Speaker 3: Investigators linked Allan to an unspent bullet found between the victims,
- 2:38Speaker 3: matching it to his handgun. Prosecutors also pointed to a
- 2:41Speaker 3: video recorded by one of the girls showing a man
- 2:44Speaker 3: believed to be Allan instructing them to move quote down
- 2:47Speaker 3: the hill. Allan's defense argued that confessions he made were unreliable,
- 2:51Speaker 3: citing the psychological toll of his time in solitary confinement.
- 2:55Speaker 3: They also noted the absence of DNA fingerprints or witnesses
- 2:59Speaker 3: explicitly connecting him to the crime scene. The small city
- 3:02Speaker 3: of Delphi, home to just three thousand residents, has been
- 3:05Speaker 3: shaken for years by the tragedy. At a news conference,
- 3:08Speaker 3: officials praise the work of investigators and volunteers, declaring justice
- 3:12Speaker 3: had finally been served.
- 3:14Speaker 1: The victims' families expressed relief and gratitude, with one relative
- 3:18Speaker 1: calling the sentencing a long awaited step toward healing. A
- 3:22Speaker 1: seventy three year old man from Mississippi has been charged
- 3:26Speaker 1: with the strangulation murders of three southern California women, crimes
- 3:30Speaker 1: that date back to nineteen seventy seven.
- 3:33Speaker 4: California authorities have now revealed that Warren Luther Alexander was
- 3:37Speaker 4: linked to the cold cases through a DNA match, raising
- 3:40Speaker 4: concerns that there may be additional victims. Alexander, who hails
- 3:43Speaker 4: from Diamondhead, Mississippi, has yet to be arraigned on the
- 3:46Speaker 4: three first degree murder charges. The arraignment has been postponed
- 3:49Speaker 4: until later this week, and he remains in custody without bail.
- 3:52Speaker 4: According to the Ventura County District Attorney's office, the path
- 3:56Speaker 4: that led to Alexander's arrests began when he was extradited
- 3:59Speaker 4: to California from North Carolina, where he is also a
- 4:02Speaker 4: suspect in another cold case murder from nineteen ninety two.
- 4:05Speaker 4: Ventura County District Attorney Eric Nassarenko disclosed during a press
- 4:08Speaker 4: conference that the California victims were found dead in Ventura County.
- 4:13Speaker 4: Each woman had been strangled with a ligature, a detail
- 4:15Speaker 4: that has haunted investigators for decades. The victims have been
- 4:19Speaker 4: identified as eighteen year old Kimberly Fritz, whose body was
- 4:22Speaker 4: discovered in Port Hunami on May twenty ninth, nineteen ninety seven,
- 4:26Speaker 4: thirty one year old Velvet Sanchez, found dead in Oxnard
- 4:29Speaker 4: on September eighth of that same year, and twenty one
- 4:31Speaker 4: year old Lorraine Rodriguez, whose remains were uncovered in an
- 4:34Speaker 4: unincorporated area on December twenty seventh, nineteen seventy seven. Authorities
- 4:39Speaker 4: were finally able to connect Alexander to these heinous crimes
- 4:42Speaker 4: after a DNA sample entered into a national database last
- 4:45Speaker 4: year provided a match. This breakthrough was made possible through
- 4:49Speaker 4: the use of investigated genealogy, a technique that had previously
- 4:52Speaker 4: linked Alexander to the unsolved North Carolina murder of Nona
- 4:55Speaker 4: Cobb in nineteen ninety two. Kabb's body had been abandoned
- 4:59Speaker 4: along Interstate seventy seven. Records indicate that Alexander lived in
- 5:03Speaker 4: Oxnard during the late nineteen fifties and sixties, and he
- 5:06Speaker 4: later returned to the area in the nineteen seventies.
- 5:08Speaker 1: During the seventies and extending into the early nineteen nineties,
- 5:12Speaker 1: Alexander worked as a long haul truck driver, a job
- 5:15Speaker 1: that often took him across the country, a detail that
- 5:18Speaker 1: may now hold even greater significance as investigators explored the
- 5:22Speaker 1: possibility of other unsolved crimes connected to his travels.

- 5:30Speaker 2: sons with her mom while she travels. She drives to

- 5:36Speaker 2: unknown man. When Danielle hasn't returned or let family know
- 5:40Speaker 2: where she is, twenty four hours later, they report her missing.
