Former Rushville police officer Todd Click has been released on his own recognizance after being arrested Friday.
Click, who is a former Rushville police officer, Indiana State Police agent, and former Department of Child Services investigator, was charged with official misconduct, forgery, and falsifying child abuse or neglect information.
He’s accused of filing DCS reports detailing his visits and phone calls to troubled families. Those families say Click never actually called or visited and lied.
Click’s initial hearing was held Monday morning. He was released on his own recognizance. A pre-trial hearing/conference is set for November 12th and another for January, 27th, 2025. His trial date is scheduled for February 18th, 2025.
Todd Click was once thought to be one of the strongest chess pieces for attorneys Andrew Baldwin and Brad Rozzi, who represent Richard Allen.
Allen is the man charged with the 2017 double murder of Abigail Williams and Liberty German.
Click was part of a three-man investigative unit formed in 2018 to investigate potential ties between the girls’ murders and men in the Carroll County area with ties to Odinism and ritual killings. That unit was disbanded after the 2021 murder of detective Greg Ferency, who was also a member of the Odinism investigative unit.
Click testified earlier this year that he came forward to Carroll County Prosecutor Nick McLeland after Richard Allen was arrested in 2022 and expressed concern about the substance behind Allen’s arrest. Click felt Prosecutor McLeland did not have a strong case against Allen and that there were other men who Click felt made much stronger suspects in the murders of Williams and German. Allen’s defense has long held the belief that men with ties to Odinism killed the girls as part of a sacrifice.
The defense is no longer allowed to bring that information before the jury come October 14th. That also includes information the defense may have had on Ronald Logan, Kegan Kline, geofencing data and more.
McLeland objected to Click’s assertions, claiming Click may have a history of lying. McLeland then requested Click’s employment records.
The Delphi murders trial is scheduled to begin Monday, October 14th with jury selection and testimony should begin Friday, October 18th.
