CARROLL COUNTY, Ind. — The man behind an online persona that preyed on underage girls and contacted Libby German the night before her death will take the stand during the Delphi murders trial, which is scheduled to commence next week. Before Richard Allen was arrested and charged with the deaths of Abby Williams and Libby German in 2022, convicted child predator Kegan Kline was thrust into the Delphi murders spotlight after police learned the Peru man was behind a social media account called "anthony_shots." Delphi prepares for double murder trial Under this false online persona, Kline contacted numerous underage girls and manipulated them into sending sexually explicit images and videos. Kline ended up being sentenced to 43 years in prison after pleading guilty to 25 felony counts including child exploitation and child solicitation. Kegan Kline While Kline was never officially named as a suspect in the murders of Abby Williams or Libby German, investigators did uncover that German interacted with the "anthony_shots" account shortly before she was killed. Kline has been at the center of numerous online conspiracies surrounding the high-profile murder case and now is set to appear in court during the trial as Allen's defense team named Kline as a witness whom they intend to call to the stand. Kline is but one of several current inmates the defense will call to testify during the trial. Jury selection for the trial begins on Monday in Allen County. The trial will be held in Carroll County and is scheduled to last until mid-November.
