DELPHI, Ind. – Monday marked the third day of testimony in the Delphi murders trial. Judge Fran Gull cautioned on Saturday that Monday’s testimony would be lengthy. She wrapped up Saturday’s proceedings early as a result. Monday’s session included testimony from Carroll County Sheriff’s Deputy Darron Giancola, the first deputy to arrive at the scene, and Sgt. Jason Page, a crime scene investigator with Indiana State Police. Abby Williams (left) and Libby German (right)/Courtesy: Family The state entered more than 40 crime scene photos into evidence. The photos included shots of the general area as well as closeups of both Abby Williams and Libby German. The images showed Abby Williams was dressed while Libby German was not. Abby’s clothes appeared to be damp. Blood stains were visible on the girls, the ground and nearby trees. Both girls had suffered lacerations to their throats. Abby's body was three to five feet away from Libby's, according to the images. Delphi murders: Defense seeks to prohibit testimony on audio from infamous ‘Bridge Guy’ video Some jurors and observers expressed shock at the images during the mostly subdued court session. Tree branches were set up in a pattern on top of the girls—they appeared to set in a V- or cross-shaped pattern, according to FOX59/CBS4 reporter Russ McQuaid. Some of the branches were large. Richard Allen, charged with four counts of murder in connection with the February 2017 deaths of the girls, showed no significant reaction from the defense table as the photos were displayed. Giancola’s testimony Deputy Darron Giancola told the court he’s been with the sheriff’s department since 2011. He wasn’t on duty when the girls disappeared. However, he began looking for them around midnight after hearing about Abby’s and Libby’s disappearance on social media. He had a flashlight but noted the area was extremely dark. The search ended around 2 a.m. He didn’t believe any harm had come to the girls at that point. “I have worked in this field for a while,” he told the court. “We usually would have juveniles go missing [and it turns out] they were at a movie or something with friends… but would usually show back up.” The next day, he arrived at the scene and encountered a “distraught” woman. He soon learned searchers had found the girls’ bodies. “Both had a large laceration on their throat,” Giancola said. “Both had a substantial amount of blood on their person and underneath.” He didn’t perform life-saving measures on the girls because it was “apparent they were deceased,” he told the court. Giancola secured the area and called his superiors. Indiana State Police soon arrived, he recalled. He stayed at the location for the rest of the day and night to preserve the crime scene as the investigation began. During cross examination, defense attorney Andrew Baldwin asked Giancola to further describe the search timeline and the terrain near Deer Creek and the Monon High Bridge. He also said Abby Williams’ clothing appeared to be wet. He recalled that Abby primarily had blood near her wound while Libby German had blood all over her body. Page’s testimony Jason Page has been with the Indiana State Police for 24 years and has worked as a detective and member of the SWAT team. He’s been a crime scene investigator for 16 years and estimated he’d been at between 950 and 1,000 crime scenes as a CSI and many more as a detective. He arrived at the area around 1:30 p.m. on Feb. 14 and met with other crime scene investigators. Page took several photos and walked the jury through each one shown in court. He described the area where the girls were found as “ground zero”—an approximately 30- to 40 -foot area containing most of the physical evidence. The terrain is “pretty rough and steep,” he told the court. He showed the jury a map of the area and walked them through the topography. He described how investigators carefully marked the area near ground zero and the path leading to the girls' bodies. He said investigators searched the scene with metal detectors and recalled a dive team conducting another search. Page showed photos from the crime scene and described what each one showed. One photo showed what appeared to be black marks on Libby’s body. Another showed an aerial view of the bodies with Deer Creek in the background. Jurors also saw photos of blood on Libby's right hand and another of her left hand. Another photo showed a closeup of Libby's face. As Giancola had suggested, Page said the area was “saturated” with a large amount of blood on the ground. Blood was also on nearby trees; investigators used a chemical to check trees for additional traces. He also recalled that Abby's clothes were wet. "Her clothes were damp. I just remembered the clothes seemed damp," he recalled. Notes from the media pool described Page’s testimony as “calm” and almost “mechanical” as he explained what was contained within each image. Page spoke for about 90 minutes before the court took a break. He resumed his testimony around 1 p.m.
