Witnesses testifying at the trial of the man accused of killing two teenage girls in Delphi, Ind., were questioned about the so-called “Bridge Guy,” seen walking on the hiking trail where the girls were murdered.

Previously, a grainy image of “Bridge Guy” was circulated publicly and the man, whose face is obscured in the image, was considered a suspect in the murders.

Railly Voorhies, one of the witnesses, testified that she had seen the man on the trail and waved to him but he did not wave back, theJournal & Courierreported. Voorhies reportedly said that after learning about the murders, she thought of the “unsettling man” she saw and later gave a statement to police, according to the paper.

Allen’s trial began on Friday, Oct. 18. In opening statements, according to theAssociated Press,Fox 59and theIndianapolis Star,prosecutors said the girls were found with their throats cut.

Allen was arrested in 2022 after police searched his home and said they found several knives and a gun allegedly linked to a bullet found at the scene, the AP reported.

Prosecutors previously claimed Allen confessed to the murders during a jailhouse call with his wife, according reports from the AP,CNNand Fox 59. The defense, however, has attempted to have the confession tossed, saying that he was in a declining mental state at the time, according to Fox 59.
