An Indiana judge said Tuesday that she will decide soon whether to unseal court records that led to a man’s arrest in the 2017 killings of two teenage girls, while a prosecutor urged the court to keep the documents sealed because others could be involved in the case.
The probable cause affidavit and charging information against Allen have not been publicly released since they were sealed last month at the request of Carroll County Prosecutor Nicholas McLeland.
McLeland said during Tuesday’s hearing that authorities “have a good reason to believe” Allen is not the only person connected to the killings.

Gull — an Allen County judge assigned to the case after a judge in Carroll County, where Delphi is located, recused himself — held Tuesday's hearing in Delphi to determine whether the documents should be made public. She set a Feb. 17 bail hearing for Allen, whose attorneys on Monday filed a petition to set bond so he might be released before the trial.
Andrew Baldwin, an attorney for Allen, said after the hearing that “our client is the wrong guy.” Standing outside the courtroom, he said the sealed probable cause affidavit is “flimsy” and that “you expect more than what I saw.”
