Richard Allen, the Indiana man convicted of killing two middle school girls in 2017, was sentenced to 130 years in prison on Friday, almost eight years after the children's bodies were found near a hiking trail.
Allen, 52, was convicted of murder in November after a four-week trial in the deaths of Abigail Williams, 13, and Liberty German, 14, in Delphi.
The bodies of the girls, who were close friends, were found near a hiking trail on Feb. 14, 2017, but their killings went unsolved for years.
Allen received the maximum sentence. Judge Frances C. Gull told him it ranks “right up there with the most hideous crimes.”
“These families will deal with your carnage forever,” the judge said.
