Visiting the Crime Scene -Delphi, Indiana

[@suzannebrady6201]

My heart hurts when I think of the fear and the pain that the girls went through . RIP sweet angels

[@wendybutler1681]

To think of innocents dying like this, in such pain and terror, it just destroys me. The craven cruelty and absence of any humanity directed at children. No amount of punishment is justice.

[@Kristin2885]

The sounds of nature and the silence... Thinking how on that day, the girls could hear the peaceful water currents in the creek and the occasional bird's cry while undergoing such unimaginable horror in such stark contrast. I've followed the case since the beginning. Those girls were all of us at one point - walking nature trails with friends and exploring the world and those lively chats when the grown-ups weren't around. They had so much more life to live. It's just a tragedy. I hope the families and community can find some level of peace now that justice is served.

[@luckewoman0348]

Thank you for capturing this spot in a respectful way while focusing on the girls ❤. Def stirs up emotions...prayers for the families. Remember Abby and Libby ❤

[@HeyBuddiesClips]

I’ve avoided videos of the crime scene all this time too. I’ve seen the bridge walk, but I’ve never felt like I could see the actual spot. Until now. So many people loved that girls, that never even met them, what a tremendous legacy. The person that did this to them will be forgotten, only the girls will be remembered with love.

[@exoxophanie4363]

Seeing and hearing the atmosphere of the exact place where Libby and Abby experienced their final moments chills me to my core. I despise Richard Allen and his vile selfishness, how dare he rob those precious girls of their bright futures. The trial may be over, but Abby and Libby will forever be etched on my heart, and I know a lot of other people feel the same way. We never had the pleasure of knowing those girls, but we hurt for them and their families after 8 years of hoping for justice for them all.

[@H.Michele]

Thank you for taking us to this spot, Lauren. I can’t stop crying so I can only imagine how it feels actually standing there.

[@Cindy-zn2so]

💜Thank you, Lauren💙 I'm from Indiana, and once upon an age was as innocent, and trusting of things as Abby and Libby; gallivanting off on breathless, giggly adventures. Year after year, I followed the case, hoping it would be solved: that "this would be the day " Finally, it was the day, and when that verdict was delivered, I broke down in heaving sobs. 💜rest with angels, Abby and Libby💙 you won't be forgotten.

[@shannon8485]

Im from Indiana as well grew up in a small town and did the same thing as Abby and libby visiting parks, exploring the woods, creeks, fields with friends all without a care in the world never thinking something like this would or could happen.

[@janeneb3122]

Thank you for showing us where they were. It feels like their voices are being heard. Bless those beautiful girls and their families!

[@BlossomHomemaking]

Lauren, thank you for your coverage of this trial and all of the hard work you put in. Rest in peace, Abby and Libby. ❤

Utterly heartbreaking. 💔 I deeply appreciate you doing this, Lauren. It was clearly very difficult, but also a good way to offer respect and last wishes for these two precious girls.

[@kristin9953]

Blessings to you & your Family Lauren. Your Brother would be proud of you. My Sister died at age 18 from Cancer so it feels good to continue to do things they were Passionate about. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas & thank you for all you do.🎄

That sunshine through the trees. Very emotional . I like to think it's the girls saying their light still shines bright even though they are gone.

[@hopeg8031]

My thoughts exactly! ❤

[@TeeJayNZ]

Thank you Lauren my sister lost her two children in their early 20’s people used to say to her but you are so strong she would just smile , but she would say to me what choice do I have I wasn’t given a choice same as poor little Abby and Libby and their families none were given a choice my heart aches for them all knowing there really is no closure just leaning somehow to live a new normal 😢

[@RoyalPurpleStar]

I’m so sorry for your sister’s and your loss. I can’t imagine the pain and the soul-crushing agony your sister experienced.😢💔

[@TeeJayNZ]

⁠@@RoyalPurpleStarshe found out she had stage 4 cancer 4 years afterwards and she said she felt like she had won lotto and refused all treatment she passed at home surrounded by us all 5 months later . I saw how hard it was for her to wake up every morning with such grief same as it will be for Abby and Libby’s mothers fathers and families. life can be very cruel . The hardest long term effect of grief is learning how to feel joy and excitement again. Thank you for your kind comment ❤x

The sounds in the woods, tree leaves, birds and seeing the sunshine was just crushing as hell.

[@Brittnoelle2]

Lauren you can seriously pull off any look! I swear. Thanks for putting so much time and effort into bringing awareness to these 2 sweet innocent girls❤️

[@shonabeggs4640]

Wow, context is everything here, Lauren. It looks so different from how I imagined. It looks very open and exposed/visible, probably even more so in February. I was also unaware the girls were not closer together, I pictured the scene in my minds eye that they were almost side by side, facing the same direction. Seeing you here describing the positions the girls were in has sparked a flurry of questions rather than clear things up. I can't imagine your feelings as a mother standing there, but thank you for doing so. RIP Libby and Abby.🙏

[@pmoore4637]

Thank you for sharing this video, it truly is heart-breaking there at the scene. I'm thank ful to the good Lord above that Libby & Abby received their justice 💗May they rest in peace.💘

Thank you for covering this case with such grace and respect for the girls and their families. You are a great voice for the victims and I appreciate your hard work on this and all cases.

[@marycosby8959]

I have been there a few times, and it was an experience that I can't really express. I felt the girls. My first time there, I had so much anxiety as I was leaving, I felt guilty, like I was leaving them there, and it was getting dark and cold and it was just a horrible feeling. I know it probably sounds crazy but that's how I felt. I'll never forget it. Knowing what we know now, it breaks my heart even more. I crossed that creek, and I remember how ice cold it was, and it was September, so I can't imagine having to cross it in February. I didn't know the girls but my life has changed since this happened. I think about Abby and Libby all the time. I don't know how he could do what he did to them and go on with his daily routine like nothing happened. I remember walking from the south side of the bridge to the creek for the first time and thinking how terrified they must have been taking that walk with the monster that did this. It does make you angry. May Abby and Libby finally rest in peace. Thank you for sharing this, Lauren. You did a great job covering this journey to justice.

[@HelpSavetheNextGirl241]

Lauren, I completely understand your pilgrimage to that very spot and those very trees. I am proud of your commitment to the victims and their families. Your heart is in your work, and you have what the Tibetans call fierce compassion.

[@mikeg2939]

I know this feeling. When I was 11 a 9 year old girl was killed and left in some local woods. A few of us went to see where she was found and came across a small dedication left by her family we assumed. It was her dad who found her while he was helping police search, can you imagine how he felt.

[@Diana111Bella]

Bless Lauren, you are the right person to do this 🙏

[@RoyalPurpleStar]

The worst part is I’m still not sure if they’ve really got the right guy, as I’m still learning more details about the case. Just feels like it’s not 100% with no doubt, so far.

[@ItsSVO]

It doesn’t matter what you do or do not think. Richard Allen was found guilty by a jury in a court of law unanimously and given 130 years in prison. He confessed 60 plus times and you don’t believe it’s him because you don’t want it to be him which I find disgusting to be saying on a video about the victims. It shows at the very least the type of person you are.

[@olgakipke3720]

​@@ItsSVOAre you a psychologist?

[@mjollner23]

Thank You for going out there and FINALLY getting clarity of where things happen! This tree is VERY close to the creek... and the killings happened in plain view of both the bridge and the Webers house and drive-way. However, the way he placed the girls is definitely behind a tree and out of sight from anyone looking at the scene from the south. This is very likely done to hide the bodies so that people crossing the bridge would not see them immediately.

[@YouTubeBadActors]

I appreciate you going there, Lauren and Marv. I feel a tightness in my chest and throat, with tears running down my cheeks … and anger at the senselessness of it all. Love and hugs to you and everyone touched by this. 🙏🩵💜

[@scottdaley1672]

@@KZbinBadActors being an investigator, I wanted to see the actual crime scene photos of the girls and found them and I think they were posed so Ricky could take some pictures and those were his trophies.. it’s possible that he was angry that he couldn’t complete his assault on them that he had planned and just killed them up close and personal..just brutal. 😔

[@lisamercer3268]

This brought me to tears. I’ve followed this from the beginning and mourn the loss of these girls and am horrified to think what they must have gone through

[@denisia1111]

Lauren, I just watched the video, all I could think about is how we appreciate your steps to bear witness throughout the trial and now the crime scene itself. Words are important and I said bear witness because it really is the only way to describe the efforts you have taken in an incredibly respectful manner. Clearly we all want to understand the worst of humanity in hopes of never crossing it ourselves. We have the option to pause or walk away when you sat and again beared witness without walking away. Thank you seems too small to express the gratitude I have for all you do. Keep up the good work. ❤

[@NomoreBS-t7m]

was the road where he said he got spooked by the van right up above you? I will never forget those girls and their families. Sweet sweet lives taken by a horrific monster

[@H.Michele]

I’m curious too, also I’d like to have seen a 360 and get an idea how far away the creek is, and the bridge on the other side of that. Not that it matters, but just to help my brain piece things together to process this.

[@committed_to_sparkle_motion]

My understanding is that the road is across the river from where they were found. The road goes under the "far" side of the bridge (the end the girls were kidnapped from) and is effectively the driveway to Brad Weber's house. RA said he got spooked and had them cross the river back over to the "near" side, and they were found between the cemetery and the river.

[@NomoreBS-t7m]

@ thank you

@@H.Michele Please, watch the animated timeline put together by Gray Hughes, for example in the video "Delphi - The Simple Timeline and White Van". All is made clear 100%.

[@texasgina]

In 2002-2004 I lived at the bottom of a mountain in Lake Elsinore, CA from where a five-year-old little girls body was found (Samantha Runion) and my uncle,before retiring was a lieutenant for the Orange County California sheriffs department and he was on the case because she was kidnapped from Orange County. And I remember a few months later, driving on the road and just looking and crying at the spot where that babies body was found. I was a mother with little girls at the time around the same age and my heart just broke for her and her parents. It’s hard to imagine that people can do things like this to children. I feel guilty for killing bugs sometimes. The disgusting monster Alejandro Avila who unalived her was caught and living in the apartments right next to mine and was my next door neighbors friend 😮

[@prettisessor1355]

I remember Samantha 😥 What a horrendous case. I can understand you getting so sad,going down the road she was found on. Beautiful baby thrown out like trash

[@scottdaley1672]

I’m trying to imagine how many times people in that town must’ve crossed paths with Richard Allen and had no idea

[@prettisessor1355]

@scottdaley1672 Probably many times. Creepy for sure!

[@aimeegwatney5662]

Yes, I remember the Samantha Runyon case very well. I live in Orange County and it was big news. My older child was the exact same age so it hit hard. Such a horrible case, and her mom was so strong. It just boggles the mind that such evil exists.

Thank you for doing this. It sure is an eye opener to think about the horrors these girls suffered. I think it’s creepy as hell to be out there and think maybe you’re not alone. I’d never go to any trail alone and not be armed anymore. I still wonder if those girls weren’t out there that day if Betsy would have been the victim, cause she was probably out there pretty much alone at the time she saw RA on that bridge.
