Libby was incredibly brave to secretly film the creepy guy stalking her and Abby, Richard Allen. This case would not have been solved without her securing that footage of the killer for police. Because when a still image of the man from her video was shown on TV news on 15th February, it freaked Allen out and prompted him to come forward and tell authorities he'd been there that day.
He was trying to 'get ahead' of police, and pose as an innocent witness, rather than the guilty child killer he was. He even described wearing exactly the same clothes as the killer in the video - he identified himself as 'Bridge Guy' - and Bridge Guy is the killer!
All the witnesses from the day of the crime reported seeing ONE MAN and one man only - that man was, by his own admission, Richard Allen. Police could and should have arrested and charged him within one week of these murders! Instead they dropped the ball, and did no further investigation after he came forward.
It is an outrage they allowed Allen to walk free for FIVE YEARS when he had approached them just two days after the murders! Supt Doug Carter was wrong when he said the killer was, quote, 'Hiding in plain sight'. He wasn't hiding at all! Indiana Police and Supt Carter must be held fully accountable for their multiple, huge mistakes, of which that was the biggest.
It took far too long, but Libby's video of Richard Allen is what smoked him out and ultimately solved the case. I believe after they were abducted by him at gunpoint, the girls worked together to conceal the phone from him (it was found under Abby's dead body). Both girls deserve huge respect and recognition for the key role they played in solving their own murder. Without that video being recorded and preserved. Richard Allen would not have come forward, and would almost certainly have killed other victims.
