For everyone who has followed the Delphi murders case since the Franks memo, this is the segment. On September 21, 2026, Richard Allen's appeal lawyer put the Odinism theory in front of the Indiana Court of Appeals, and the state had to answer it out loud.Mark Leeman told Judges Nancy Vaidik, Elaine Brown, and Robert Altice that Brad Holder was identified in two March 2017 tips and cleared on a landfill time card. Indiana State Police later learned, Leeman said, that Holder had published a bind rune drawn on his hand.In Leeman's telling, the rune combines two symbols into a shape that matches the sticks arranged on Abby Williams, a girl he says Holder knew, and Holder's page carried images of girls posed as if dead under sticks. An officer asked to reopen, and was told they'd cleared him. Holder has never been charged.The state's rebuttal came in two parts. First, the scene: there was no bloody F on the tree once the chemical test was applied, no one called the upside-down L a rune, the FBI's analyst found no clear runes in the sticks, and even Dr. Perlmutter, the defense's ritual expert, could only say the sticks meant something to the offender. Second, the alibi: Holder was at work 25 miles away in Buffalo, Indiana, at 2:13 and at 2:32, and a landfill clerk testified a missing driver would have been noticed.Judge Vaidik asked Leeman whether he was asking the court to reweigh evidence. His answer was that the jury should have been the one to weigh it.Defense attorney Bob Motta and I go clip by clip through the tattoo, the alibi, and the crime scene Leeman says no one takes a walk and decides to stage.Allen is serving 130 years. The panel has not ruled.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Javier Zinzun Jr. is a designer, entrepreneur, and talent strategist whose principal achievement is the construction of a recognizable custom-apparel practice inside professional boxing. As founder of I Got My Own Back (IGMOB), he has moved from a personal recovery project begun after a near-fatal overdose on 17 February 2011 to a studio whose walkout robes and fight trunks have appeared on championship cards, film sets, and entertainment stages.His most consequential professional breakthrough was the sequence that took him from early work with Ryan Garcia to commissions for Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez. A custom set made for Garcia drew Álvarez's attention; Zinzun was then invited to take measurements at Álvarez's home and produce fight shorts noted for their lightness and range of motion. That association established IGMOB among elite boxing wardrobes and led to further work for fighters including Mario Barrios, Yordenis Ugas, Julio César Martínez, Frank Sánchez, Marc Castro, David Morrell, Lazaro Lorenzana, Jaime Munguía, Oscar Valdez, Andy Ruiz Jr., and others. On the Ugas Pacquiao card, published accounts credit him with Ugas's ring attire.He has also carried the same custom language beyond the sanctioned ring. Credits include trunks for Creed 2; ringwear for Logan Paul and multiple Creator Clash participants; and one-off pieces for Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias, Ice Cube, Yungblud, and Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. The work is defined less by logo placement than by identity-specific construction velvet, crystal, lighting, and motif work intended to function as both performance garment and public statement.Institutional recognition has followed the commissions. Zinzun was featured in The Ring in 2021, an uncommon placement for a designer rather than a fighter, and has been named a Designer of the Year in boxing-fashion circles. He serves as a WBC Cares ambassador, using that platform for photo programs, trunk gifts for lesser-known fighters, school talks, and youth-mentorship presentations. In 2020 he temporarily redirected production to reusable protective masks. The studio is based in Tustin, California, and continues to sell both custom fight kits and ready-to-wear collaborations.A second enterprise, IGMOB Talent Group, extends the same network into representation. Launched as a formal platform in early 2026, it concentrates on sponsorship, media placement, and career branding. A frequently cited result is Lorenzana's ceremonial first pitch for the San Diego Padres and a short Sony documentary produced through Zinzun's entertainment contacts. Parallel to that work is IGMOB TV, a YouTube channel used to document fighters, design process, and recovery narratives.Taken together, the record is not merely a list of famous clients. It is the conversion of a private turning point into a durable craft: custom fight fashion that has reached world champions, a Hollywood franchise, mainstream entertainers, a sanctioning body's charitable arm, and a talent practice intended to place athletes in rooms beyond the ring. The marketing phrase “world's No. 1 boxing designer” is self-applied and widely repeated; the verifiable achievement is the body of work that made that claim commercially plausible.

What happens to breakthrough medical ideas when the science works, but no one knows how to get them out of the lab and into the hands of patients? In this episode of Entrepreneur Rx, host John Shufeldt sits down with Chris Franks, five-time founder and CEO of Promptus, to explore one of healthcare innovation's biggest gaps: why so much promising research never becomes a real-world product. Chris explains that the U.S. invests roughly $245 billion each year in healthcare research, yet only a small fraction of resulting technologies ever reach patients. Promptus was built to tackle that problem by identifying promising intellectual property from universities, hospitals, and physicians, then rapidly developing them toward commercialization. John and Chris dig into how Promptus evaluates thousands of technologies to find the rare opportunities that combine meaningful clinical need with a realistic regulatory, manufacturing, and commercialization pathway. They also discuss why great science alone is not enough, the challenges of working with technology transfer offices, and how Promptus aims to compress a development process that can traditionally take years into an 18-to-30-month path toward FDA submission. What makes the model especially compelling is the scale of the opportunity: thousands of technologies are already sitting inside universities and research institutions, and Promptus is building a repeatable system to identify the few with the strongest potential to become real products that can improve patient care. The conversation also goes into the founder journey. After nearly two decades of building companies, Chris shares why entrepreneurs need to get out of the office and talk to the people they are actually trying to serve, why medtech founders have to understand every stakeholder who can say “no,” and why building something valuable requires far more than having a clever idea. Chris also opens up about failure, the toll entrepreneurship can take, and one of the hardest lessons he learned along the way: you are not your company. He and John discuss separating identity from business outcomes, surviving difficult chapters, and why failure can ultimately make someone a better founder. About Chris Franks: Chris Franks is a five-time founder, CEO, and builder who has spent more than 15 years on the founder's path. After selling his last company in 2023, he began rethinking what sustainable success looks like for founders and leaders. Today, Chris is CEO of Promptus, teaches management and leadership at the University of Colorado Denver, co-hosts the How To Founder podcast, and co-founded Denver Startup Week and the Denver Founders Network. He is also a six-time Ironman finisher. About Promptus: Promptus is a healthcare innovation platform built to close the gap between medical research and commercialization. Through its proprietary Expedited Innovation Platform, Promptus identifies high-potential IP from universities, hospitals, and physicians; acquires or licenses it directly; and develops each technology rapidly and leanly, with physicians involved from day one and a clear path toward FDA clearance in 18–30 months. Promptus is currently focused on next-generation biosensing technology designed to give people greater awareness and control over their health. About Xcellerant Ventures: Xcellerant Ventures is a venture capital firm investing in innovative private companies across healthcare, technology, defense, and other emerging industries. Xcellerant offers multiple investment vehicles, including the Jetstream Venture Fund ($5,000 minimum) and SPVs, while partnering with founders through capital, strategic guidance, and its broader network.

Frank Sørensen fra Roskilde blev jagerpilot i det canadiske luftvåben under 2. verdenskrig. Han kæmpede især i Nordafrika fra 1943, hvor allierede styrker nedkæmpede det tyske Afrikakorps. Desværre blev Sørensens Spitfire skudt ned over Tunis, og han endte derfor de næste to år i tysk krigsfangenskab.Her sad han i krigsfangelejren STALAG LUFT III, som i eftertiden blev berømt for filmen ”Den Store Fangeflugt” fra 1963, hvor en stribe Hollywood-stjerner medvirkede, og som byggede på en virkelig hændelse. Frank Sørensen deltog selv i arbejdet med tunnelgravningen forud for flugten.I dette afsnit medvirker forfatteren Mikkel Plannthin, der har specialiseret i danske allierede piloters historier under krigen. I år udkom hans bog ”Franks krig” om drengen fra Roskilde, der som 17-årig få uger før krigsudbruddet i 1939 med sin famile udvandrede til Canada, hvor han hurtigt forfulgte drømmen om at blive pilot i sit nye lands luftvåben.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Episode 189: The Story of Charlemagne (a special episode for Ben) Travel back more than 1,200 years to the Middle Ages and meet one of the most powerful rulers in European history—Charlemagne! In Episode 189 of Real Cool History for Kids, we are telling this incredible story for Ben. Charlemagne, whose name means "Charles the Great," became king of the Franks and eventually ruled an enormous empire that stretched across much of western and central Europe. But Charlemagne's story is about much more than battles and kingdoms. Kids will discover his surprising love of swimming, his efforts to continue learning as an adult, and his determination to encourage schools, scholars, and the careful copying of books. We will also travel to Rome on Christmas Day in the year 800, when Pope Leo III placed a crown on Charlemagne's head and proclaimed him emperor. We will also look honestly at the difficult parts of Charlemagne's reign, including his long wars against the Saxons and his attempts to force conquered people to accept Christianity. Charlemagne's complicated story gives us an important opportunity to practice looking carefully at history—recognizing accomplishments, learning from mistakes, and remembering that historical figures were real people who made real choices. • Take your exploration further with the printable activity packet available on our Patreon Platform! • Would you like the chance to be part of the Real Cool History for Kids podcast?

Built to Belong - Love One Another - Isaac Franks
The SAS has often faced threats from the corridors of power. Since its inception in the North African desert during the Second World War, senior officers and civil servants have treated The Regiment with at the very least doubt, and at worst, as was seen after the end of the war, downright hostility when it was disbanded in November 1945. Enter one man, Brian Franks, an SAS man but one who was comfortable in the bar at White's club in St. James' schmoozing those sceptics. He had had an extraordinary war, and his biographer, Tim Spicer, joins to discuss him and to speculate as to whether the SAS, again under threat, has people like Franks in the corridors of power today?

In this episode of The Big Picture, host Patrick Bishop is joined by former soldier, military entrepreneur, and author Tim Spicer. Patrick and Tim discuss Tim's latest book, An Axe and Four Balloons, which tells the story of Brian Franks—the former Etonian and hotel manager who became a wartime commando and is credited with saving the SAS from extinction after the Second World War. Tim explores Franks's military career, from his early days in the Middlesex Yeomanry and commando raids in the desert, to leading 2 SAS during the perilous Operation Loyton in the Vosges Mountains and his post-war hunt for German war criminals. The discussion broadens into big-picture concepts of military philosophy and modern society. Tim reflects on the nature of leadership and shares his definition of courage as "the management of fear." They also examine the qualities of historical mavericks, whether modern political leadership is lacking, and whether the youth of today would step up to defend their country if called upon.Join the Conversation: If you have a question about the war in Ukraine or any of the conflicts we cover, email us at podbattleground@gmail.comFollow us on:X - @PodBattlegroundInstagram - podbattlegroundProducer: James HodgsonA Goalhanger Podcast Hosted on Acast.

It’s time for You vs. Victoria, and Andy steps up to see if he can outsmart The Jubal Show’s trivia queen. The questions cover everything from Dave Grohl and Nirvana to Harry Potter, Disney, Christmas movies, and one famous landmark—but the real laughs begin when the hosts ask Andy and Victoria who they’d rather take to prom: Darth Vader or Voldemort. Victoria’s answer takes an unexpected turn, leading to a hilarious exchange that completely derails the trivia game.
ABC:LHS #090 We start with three ballpark Franks... ...Francis Richter, whose writing helped to make the game respectable; he is in the Baseball Hall of Hame. ...Frank Fleer, the man who ALMOST invented the pink gum that's accompanied baseball cards for nearly a century. ...Frank Bettger, who went from failure to success after he blew out his throwing arm in Chicago (prepared and presented by fellow guide Rich Wilhelm). ...Joseph Howard Berry, Jr., who is in two Halls of Fame but is nearly forgotten today because of an unfortunate nickname; yes, it's that bad. ...Thomas Mitchell, partial owner of the Phillies during some lean times, including the staggeringly bad 1930 season; on the bright side, he co-founded Jupiter Island, Florida. I will release an optional segment on September 5th about the rich history of baseball nicknames, and the problems with who does the naming.
Student Takeover Sunday 2026 - Isaac Franks
Host Matt Trump (fighting a temperamental mic cord) turns his leftover map slides into a full episode on a provocative question: did the barbarians actually destroy Rome, or preserve it? Picking up from last week's Phantom Time detour, he leans on Belgian historian Henri Pirenne and the book Medieval Cities, bought decades ago as an Austin physics grad student, to argue a mainstream but revisionist case. The thesis: the Germanic tribes (Goths, Angles, Saxons, Franks) did not want to burn Rome down. They wanted in, preserving Roman civilization under new rulers, feudalism, and above all the Church, which outlived the state. What truly severed the ancient world, Pirenne argues, was the Arab conquest cutting Christian Europe off from Mediterranean commerce, shifting Europe's center of gravity north. Expect Hagia Sophia, Ravenna mosaics, Justinian, and pointed parallels to whether America is reliving Rome's fall.
The Vandals have gone down in history as the barbarians who helped bring down the Western Roman Empire. Their name became synonymous with violence and destruction, but who were they really?In this episode, Tristan Hughes is joined by Professor Andy Merrills to uncover the real story of the Vandals. From their migration across Europe to the conquest of Carthage, they explore how the Vandals emerged as a formidable power at the heart of Rome's final crisis; what archaeology reveals about their rule, and whether the Vandals were really as destructive as their reputation suggests.MOREThe Goths:Listen on AppleListen on Spotify The Franks:Listen on AppleListen on Spotify Presented by Tristan Hughes.

On this episode of Party of Six, we have a wide-ranging panel conversation on hospitality, focusing on Beckaly Franks tracing her path from Idaho and Portland to Hong Kong, building community, and the pitfalls in international hospitality. Sarah Dawn Mars talks about breaking down the finance side of bar ownership, and Menakshi Singh shares a fresh update on opening a new bar in southern India. Key topicsIn this episode, Beckaly Franks shares how growing up around a family bar in Idaho shaped her view of hospitality as “an extension of home” rather than just a job.Beckaly walks through her early career path from Portland to high-volume nightlife spots like Thunder Ranch and Dixie Tavern, and how performance, service, and event-making became her foundation.Beckaly details how winning the 42 Below global competition became a major credibility moment that opened international doors, including her path to Singapore and then Hong Kong.Beckaly gives a candid breakdown of the Pontiac in Hong Kong, describing it as a shoebox-sized craft cocktail dive bar with 14 seats at the bar, a heavy back bar, a strong visual identity, and a clear culture-first philosophy.She shares how the Pontiac's all-female core team and inclusive hiring philosophy were intentional, and how that helped create a space for women, queer guests, and a broad regular community.Beckaly also opens up about the difficult side of business, including toxic partnership dynamics, a failed Bali expansion, the impact of Hong Kong protests, and the strain of COVID on operations.Sarah Dawn Mars explains how Overproofff grew out of her own experience learning bar finance the hard way, then moving into hospitality tech and realizing how many operators avoid the numbers until it is too late.Sarah and Chris compare the gap between accounting data and actual hospitality decision-making, arguing that operators need more than a P and L and that generic financial advice often misses the realities of running a bar.Menakshi Singh shares that her newest bar opened in the south of India after a long process of relationship-building, traveling together, and evaluating a higher-capex opportunity over nearly three years.

Kim explains how she develops themes with the culinary team, how the 40-seat show is fully unscripted and co-hosted by her husband Gary, and how guests receive recipes and often return regularly, including travelers from out of state. They talk about local sourcing, such as Back Mountain Microgreens and upcoming Oktoberfest programming tied to Mohegan events. Kim shares her 13-year path from Viking cooking demos in Sarasota to hosting every Friday and Saturday since 2014, her work teaching at Luzerne County Community College, kids' culinary boot camps, and her nutrition-focused goals, plus favorite dishes, cooking techniques, and community connections.If you or someone you know wants to be featured on our podcast, visit our website!

In Ada County Case No. CR01-24-31665, the defendant, Bryan C. Kohberger, filed a motion requesting a Franks hearing, aiming to challenge the validity of the search warrant affidavits by alleging intentional or reckless false statements or omissions by law enforcement. After thorough consideration, the court denied this motion on February 19, 2025, concluding that the defendant did not meet the necessary burden to warrant such a hearing. Specifically, the court found insufficient evidence to suggest that any false statements or omissions were made intentionally or with reckless disregard for the truth in the affidavits supporting the search warrants.Additionally, the defense had submitted multiple motions to suppress evidence obtained through various search warrants, including those related to AT&T, Google, USB, Apple, Amazon, arrest warrants, and searches conducted in Pennsylvania and Idaho. These motions were also denied by the court. In its ruling, the court determined that the search warrants in question were supported by probable cause and that the evidence obtained was lawfully acquired. Consequently, all challenged evidence remains admissible in the ongoing proceedings against Mr. Kohberger.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:021925-Order-Defedants-Moton-Franks-Hearing.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

You can send a text, include contact info to get a response. We are trying to take a look at the life of a knight. A look at the life in full, stripped of idealizations and self righteous outrage on behalf of oppressed peasants. Last episode we were looking at medieval life. There were knights and clerics as relatively free parts of society. We know that west of the Hajnal line, the catastrophe of the Black Death will weaken serfdom a great deal, while they get screwed down even harder in eastern Europe. The life of a knight is something different than we might expect, if we have drunk too deeply of the Victorian era ideal of the courtly knight, who protects the weak, idealizes women, is always an honest and true member of society. One who upholds the good and meets evil with violence.We talked of the violence, the love of killing and enjoyment of torture, the fact that emotions like shame and embarrassment only occurred with those of the equal or higher status, you weren't really embarrassed if peasants saw your private parts or that they know YOU DOUBLE DIPPED your chips in the salsa.Tacitus, the ancient Germans, the Franks, Vikings, the Crusades all make their appearance in the development of the life of the knight.

Everywhere Rome fell, civilization transformed. In Britain, it stopped.That's not a myth. That's what actually happened. Everywhere else the empire fell — Gaul, Hispania, Italy, North Africa — the barbarian successor kingdoms absorbed Roman administration and kept the machine running. The Franks kept Roman law. The Visigoths kept the Christian church. The Ostrogoths kept the Senate and the aqueducts. Even the Vandals in North Africa kept Roman urban life going.In Britain, none of that happened. The Roman garrisons pulled out in 407. The emperor told the Britons to defend themselves in 410. And when the Anglo-Saxons arrived, they didn't do what every other post-Roman successor group did. They didn't inherit. They built wooden halls next to abandoned Roman villas and let the villas fall down. Latin didn't evolve into a Romance language the way it did in Gaul and Hispania — it just vanished. Christianity didn't survive the transition — Pope Gregory the Great had to send Augustine of Canterbury in 597 to start over from pagan ground. Cities didn't get built on top of the old Roman ones — they got built somewhere else while Colchester sat empty for centuries.This is Episode 4 of the "Life After the Fall of Rome" series. Britain is the comparison case for the whole thesis. Everywhere else Rome fell, it transformed. Britain is the exception that proves the rule — the one place where the Hollywood version of the fall (villas abandoned, libraries lost, languages disappeared, lights actually going out) turned out to be true. And the reason it happened is quieter and more dangerous than any invasion narrative: successors who chose not to inherit.The barbarians didn't destroy Roman Britain. Roman Britain was already failing on its own. What the Anglo-Saxons did was build something entirely different on top of it — a new culture with no interest in preserving what came before. That indifference, more than any battle, is what real collapse actually looks like.If you're new to the series, start with Episode 1 ("Rome Didn't Fall — Here's What Actually Happened") linked below.

The search warrant that initiated the prosecution of Richard Allen in the Delphi murders rested on a probable cause affidavit authored by Detective Tony Liggett. According to the appellant's brief, that affidavit allegedly contained material misrepresentations of witness testimony and strategic omissions of details that would have undermined the connection between Allen and Bridge Guy.The defense identifies specific alleged discrepancies. Witness Betsy Blair described the man on the bridge as young, in his twenties, with poofy brown hair — a description that does not match Allen, who was 44 with a crew cut. The defense alleges Liggett included Blair's jacket description while omitting her physical description of the person. Blair's sketch of the vehicle at the scene allegedly did not match Allen's Ford Focus — omitted from the affidavit. Sarah Carbaugh reportedly described a tan jacket; the affidavit allegedly characterized it as blue and added "bloody." Blair reportedly told investigators these were two different men. Allen reportedly told investigators he didn't know what he was wearing; the affidavit allegedly stated he admitted to a blue Carhartt jacket and head covering. The defense requested a Franks hearing to challenge the warrant's validity. The trial court denied the motion.The defense's position is that without this warrant, no subsequent evidence exists — no search, no firearm recovery, no bullet comparison, no arrest, no custodial confessions.The appellate filings also present the investigation's treatment of alternate suspects excluded from the jury's consideration. One suspect allegedly created artwork in 2018 depicting the exact positioning of a victim. He admitted to pagan rituals four days post-murder. He possessed a .40 caliber firearm matching the caliber found at the scene. His recorded interview was allegedly erased. The firearm was never collected. His employer's offer of alibi surveillance footage was allegedly declined. An ISP Trooper's request for further investigation was reportedly denied by superiors. Neither this suspect nor his associate has been charged. The appellate court will determine whether these exclusions and omissions constitute reversible error.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The appellate challenge to Richard Allen's conviction in the Delphi murders rests on two primary grounds: the reliability of over sixty custodial confessions made during a period of diagnosed psychosis, and the validity of the probable cause affidavit that authorized the search warrant initiating the entire prosecution.On the confession issue, the defense filings document the following timeline. Allen was placed in solitary confinement at Westville Correctional Facility upon his arrest. IDOC policy limited such confinement for inmates with his mental health classification to thirty days. Allen remained in the most restrictive cell for approximately thirteen months. During that period, prison medical staff diagnosed him as gravely disabled and psychotic. He was forcibly administered antipsychotic medications. His weight dropped to approximately 135 pounds. He reportedly confused nightmares with reality and believed he had initiated a global conflict.Prior to solitary, during the arrest interrogation, Allen — after being subjected to what the defense characterizes as over an hour of deceptive interview techniques by Detective Holeman — stated: "I am not going to say something I did not do." The subsequent confessions, numbering over sixty, contained factual errors inconsistent with the known evidence. He confessed to shooting victims who died from blade wounds. He described acts for which no corroborating evidence exists. His initial statement to his wife was qualified: "I think I did it." Dr. Westcott's 127-page forensic evaluation ruled out malingering and attributed the psychosis to the conditions of confinement. The jury heard the confessions but was not presented with the audio of Allen's psychotic episodes or the expert testimony characterizing them as false.The warrant challenge is equally foundational. Detective Liggett's probable cause affidavit allegedly included material misrepresentations of witness testimony. Witness Betsy Blair described Bridge Guy as a young man in his twenties with distinctive brown hair — a description that does not match Allen's appearance at 44 with a crew cut. The defense alleges selective inclusion of corroborating details and omission of contradicting ones. A Franks hearing was denied. Without the warrant, no subsequent evidence in the case exists. An appellate court will determine whether these challenges constitute reversible error.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Before solitary, Richard Allen wouldn't break. According to defense filings, Detective Holeman lied to him for over an hour during the arrest interrogation. Allen's response: "I am not going to say something I did not do." Five months in the most restrictive solitary cell in a maximum-security prison changed that.IDOC's own policy imposed a thirty-day limit for inmates with Allen's mental health diagnosis. He was held for thirteen months. By April 2023, he weighed 135 pounds. He was confusing nightmares with reality. He believed he'd started World War III. Prison doctors diagnosed him as gravely disabled and psychotic. IDOC forcibly injected him with antipsychotics. When his lawyers begged for a transfer, the prosecutor allegedly mocked their concerns on the same day IDOC designated Allen gravely disabled.Then came the confessions. Over sixty of them. He confessed to shooting Abby and Libby — they were killed with a blade. He confessed to acts there is no evidence occurred. He got basic facts of the crime wrong. His first confession to his wife wasn't "I did it." It was "I think I did it." Dr. Westcott produced a 127-page evaluation that ruled out faking and concluded the psychosis was caused by solitary confinement. The jury heard the confessions. They never heard the audio of Allen's psychotic episodes. They never heard the expert who would have called the confessions false.The appellate filings also challenge the foundation of the case itself. The search warrant rested on Detective Liggett's probable cause affidavit — which the defense alleges misrepresented witness descriptions and omitted details that would have broken the connection between Allen and Bridge Guy. Betsy Blair described a young man in his twenties with poofy brown hair. Allen was 44 with a crew cut. Blair reportedly told Liggett these were two different men. The defense requested a Franks hearing. Denied. Without this warrant, there's no search, no gun, no bullet match, no arrest, no confessions. The entire case, the defense argues, grows from a document the witnesses wouldn't recognize.

The search warrant for Richard Allen's home, car, and electronics is the foundation of the State's case. Without it, there is no gun, no bullet comparison, no arrest, and no confessions from solitary confinement. According to the appellant's brief, the affidavit that secured that warrant contained statements and omissions that painted a misleading picture. Betsy Blair — the only witness who saw Bridge Guy face-to-face — described him as a young man in his twenties with poofy brown hair. Detective Liggett's affidavit reportedly mentioned her blue jacket description but omitted the rest. Blair also described the car at the scene as something resembling a 1965 Comet — nothing like Allen's black Ford Focus. That was allegedly left out too. Witness Sarah Carbaugh reportedly said "tan jacket" and "muddy" in her 2017 interview. The affidavit allegedly read "blue jacket" and "muddy and bloody." Blair told Liggett those were two different men. ISP said the same thing in a public statement. The defense also argues Allen never admitted to wearing a blue Carhartt as the affidavit claimed. The defense requested a Franks hearing to challenge whether the affidavit contained deliberate falsehoods. The trial court denied it. The State maintains probable cause was sufficient regardless. The appellate court will weigh in. But if the defense is right, the judge who signed the warrant was given a picture with the most important details removed.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Every piece of evidence used to convict Richard Allen traces back to one document: Detective Liggett's probable cause affidavit. According to the defense's appellate filings, that document told the judge a version of events the witnesses themselves would not recognize. Betsy Blair saw Bridge Guy up close and described a man in his twenties with poofy brown hair. The affidavit allegedly included her jacket description and omitted everything else. Her sketch of the car at the scene didn't match Allen's vehicle — allegedly omitted. Sarah Carbaugh reportedly told investigators the man she saw wore a tan jacket and was muddy. The affidavit allegedly changed it to blue jacket, muddy and bloody. Blair and ISP both said Carbaugh's man and Bridge Guy were different people — allegedly omitted. Allen reportedly said he didn't know what he wore that day. The affidavit allegedly attributed a blue Carhartt admission to him. The defense argued every alleged misstatement served one purpose: making Allen look like Bridge Guy. They requested a Franks hearing. The court said no. Without this warrant, the State has no gun, no bullet comparison, no arrest, and no confessions from solitary. The defense's position is direct: the entire case is fruit of this document, and the document, they argue, is built on half-truths. The appeal will settle it. But the facts Liggett allegedly kept from the judge are the facts that would have mattered most.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
