Prosecutors opened the trial on Friday by describing the gruesome crime scene where the girls were found with their throats slit.

Jurors in the murder trial of Richard Allen, the man charged in the 2017 killings of two teenagers who vanished while hiking in Delphi, Indiana, will hear opening statements Thursday.

Opening statements were expected Friday in a double murder trial in this small Indiana farming community near Purdue University that led to the death of two teenage girls seven years ago.
