The Delphi Murders: A Heathen for the Defense? An Interview with Troth President Lauren Crow

Richard Allen's defense team has crafted an alternate theory centered around an alleged cult of "Odinists" who killed Liberty German and Abigail Williams as part of some kind of pagan sacrifice. The theory has garnered much press attention and general criticism. But heathens — those who practice pre-Christian Germanic faiths, many of whom are inclusive and anti-racist — are upset by the theory, which they feels maligns their faith.

As president of the Troth — an inclusive, anti-racist, pro-LGBTQ heathen organization — Lauren Crow has seen firsthand the impact that the defense's strategy has had on the heathen community.

So she was pretty surprised when she got a call from defense attorney Andrew Baldwin in mid-April.
