In Part 2 of a special Crossing the Line, Phelps and his guests get into what actually happened to 13-year-old Abigail "Abby" Williams and 14-year-old Liberty "Libby" German on that February day down by the Monon High Bridge, in Delphi, Indiana–and who is, without any doubt, responsible for their brutal murders.
This, despite all of the social media vitriol proclaiming the man convicted, Richard Allen, is innocent and has been framed.
