Richard Allen, the man accused of killing two Delphi teenagers, has been transferred to a new correctional facility in Indiana, according to a transfer notice filed by the Indiana Attorney General. Allen's relocation comes after an emergency order was filed on April 5 by his former defense team, citing poor living conditions and unfair treatment at his previous prison.
 
 Judge Frances Gull granted the request for Richard Allen's transfer, responding to concerns raised by his former defense counsel. Allen had been housed at the Westville Correctional Facility since November 3, 2022, before his relocation to the Wabash Valley Correctional Facility on December 6, as indicated in the notice.
 
 Records show that Allen remains on 'long-term segregation' at the new facility, a status that involves physical separation from the general offender population and is typically assigned to inmates in a designated unit.
 
 Allen's case has been marked by various legal issues, including efforts to change the location of his trial and disputes over his legal representation. His former defense team had asserted that Odinists, a white nationalist group, were responsible for the 2017 murders of Libby and Abby, casting doubt on Allen's guilt.
 
 Earlier this year, Judge Gull denied a request to move Allen's trial out of Carroll County but stipulated that all jurors for the case would be selected from Allen County. Allen's trial was initially scheduled for January 2024 but was later postponed to October 15-31, 2024, to allow his newly appointed public defenders, Robert Scremin and William Lebrato, adequate time to prepare his defense.
 
 Despite Allen's legal challenges and requests, both Judge Gull and Attorney General Todd Rokita rejected his petition to have Judge Gull removed from the case and his former attorneys, Andrew Baldwin and Brad Rozzi, reinstated. The rejection was based on their assessment that Allen's actions were "improper" and "inappropriate." They emphasized that Allen should have pursued the appropriate legal channels to address his concerns, such as filing an appeal, which he did not do.
 
 Judge Gull further accused Allen's former attorneys of gross negligence, including leaking confidential case materials, providing false information to the court, and making extrajudicial statements likely to prejudice the case.
 
 As Richard Allen continues to navigate the legal complexities surrounding his case, the upcoming trial in October 2024 will be a critical juncture in determining his fate in the murder of Libby and Abby, whose deaths continue to haunt the Delphi community.
