A final - and incredibly chilling - snapchat photo of a girl who was found dead alongside her friend has emerged.
13-year-old Abigail Williams and Libby German, 14, were walking near the picturesque Monon High Bridge near the small city of Delphi, Indiana, in February 2017 before they disappeared.
The pair’s bodies were discovered the following day in a wooded area and 50 year-old Richard Allen has since been arrested and accused of killing the pair.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges against him earlier this year.

However, according to court documents, back in April Allen was on a jailhouse phone call with his wife, Kathy Allen, when he allegedly 'admitted several times that he killed Abby and Libby'.
Court documents have also said the murderer would likely have been covered in the victims’ blood due to the amount of blood the pair lost and the bladed object used.
“Large amount of blood was lost by the victims at the crime scene,” court documents have stated.
“Because of the nature of the victim’s wounds, it is nearly certain the perpetrator of the crime would have gotten blood on his person/clothing,”
And now, the last believed photo of Abigail has resurfaced.
It was posted on German’s Snapchat and is believed to be the last photo taken of the young girl.
Libby also captured a grainy video on her phone of a man dressed in blue jeans, a blue jacket and a cap walking along the abandoned railroad bridge. Authorities have long suspected this individual to be the culprit and have praised the girl for capturing the man on camera.
Social media users were made aware of the photos after they were shared on social media on Thursday (December 21).
The images have since been viewed more than 1.9 million times and sparked conversations in the comments sections condemning the killer.
“True crime people know there is a lot going on with this case. Hopefully we will get answers soon,” one wrote.
“How could anybody kill somebody just because? There's some people in this world I truly hate but I haven't killed them. I just sick back and enjoy the evil that possesses them destroy them,” another wrote.
“I pray for the family to get closure on this case,” commented another.
Allen's trial was initially set for January 8, 2024 but it has been delayed. A hearing is scheduled for the case in January, however.
Earlier this week the Indiana Supreme Court announced that the hearing will be livestreamed to the public on Jan. 18, 2024, at 11 a.m.
