Max reports from hometown of Delphi murder suspect Richard Allen -- November 1, 2022

Richard Allen grew up in the small town of Mexico, about 30 miles from Delphi. Several people who knew him said all of them told us they never would have suspected him.
“People change over the years and I haven’t seen Ricky for a long time,” said David Yoder.
Yoder lived across the street from Allen when he lived in Mexico and grew up with his dad.
“He was an all-around good, normal everyday family man,” Yoder said. “There’s nothing out of the ordinary about him.”
Yoder said he lived in the home with his wife and daughter before moving to Delphi in 2006. But after hearing Allen was arrested and charged with killing Abby Williams and Libby German, he’s now questioning if he really knew him.
“I would’ve never thought living across the road from him that there was anything. That’s where I would’ve sent my kids if there had been any trouble.” Yoder said. “It’s just hard to believe because he’s a heck of a nice guy always has been.”
