Podcast appearances and mentions of Richard Allen

Ali is joined by Michael Ausbrook to continue discussing and analyzing Richard Allen's appellate brief. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This episode pulls back the curtain on two of the most controversial and emotionally charged elements of the Delphi murders case: the evidence linked to Ron Logan that jurors never heard, and the personal devastation endured by Richard Allen's wife, Kathy Allen, in the aftermath of his conviction. We start with the Logan file — an FBI affidavit outlining a falsified alibi, phone data placing Logan near the crime scene, past incidents of violence, and physical characteristics some believed matched the figure seen on the Monon High Bridge. Investigators executed a full search of Logan's property, yet none of this information reached the jury in Richard Allen's trial. Why was such a significant alternative lead effectively erased from the courtroom narrative? Was it investigative error, strategic omission, or an institutional decision to narrow the lens too early? These questions go to the heart of public confidence in the Delphi investigation. Then we shift to the human cost. Richard Allen's transfer to an out-of-state facility placed him far from Kathy Allen, isolating him from the support system most defendants rely on during the appeals process. Kathy's voice — steady, emotional, and often overlooked — brings forward the deeply personal reality of a case dominated by legal battles and public speculation. Defense attorney Bob Motta explains why she never took the stand and how her testimony might have reshaped the jury's understanding of the man they were judging. This is the intersection of overlooked evidence, investigative blind spots, and the collateral damage left behind when a community demands closure before all questions are answered. #DelphiMurders #RonLogan #RichardAllen #KathyAllen #TrueCrimeNews #JusticeForAbbyAndLibby #HiddenKillers #WrongfulConvictionConcerns #DelphiCase #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This episode exposes one of the most disturbing and overlooked elements of the Delphi murders investigation: the psychological collapse Richard Allen allegedly suffered while held in prolonged solitary confinement before trial. Listeners will hear how isolation, lack of human contact, and extreme mental distress pushed Allen into a fragile, deteriorating state where he made confused, desperate statements on recorded jail calls — statements his family insists were not true and were the direct result of unbearable psychological pressure. Rather than illuminating guilt, Allen's recorded admissions reveal the devastating impact that severe confinement can have on a person who has not been convicted of any crime. His words grow increasingly fractured, defeated, and inconsistent, raising serious concerns about whether mental anguish — not truth — drove his statements. This episode examines how solitary conditions can warp perception, induce hallucinations, and create the exact circumstances under which false confessions are known to occur. We also confront broader questions surrounding the Delphi case, including serious concerns raised by legal observers about investigative decisions, reliance on disputed forensic interpretations, and the possibility of confirmation bias shaping the direction of the case. While the full truth remains contested, documented contradictions, unanswered questions, and procedural concerns demand scrutiny — not blind acceptance. Richard Allen's story is not just about one man; it's about what happens when a system designed to protect due process instead creates the conditions for psychological breakdown. This episode challenges listeners to consider a painful reality: when isolation becomes a weapon, anyone — guilty or innocent — can be pushed past the limits of endurance. #DelphiCase #RichardAllen #TrueCrimeNews #SolitaryConfinement #InterrogationAnalysis #JusticeSystem #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #DueProcessRights #WrongfulConvictionConcerns Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The interrogation practices used in the Richard Allen case have become one of the most troubling — and consequential — aspects of the Delphi murders investigation. In this episode, we break down the reported tactics that raise profound ethical and procedural concerns far beyond Carroll County. From the use of deceptive pretenses to initiate questioning to the unclear delivery and reinforcement of Miranda rights, this interrogation reveals how fragile constitutional protections can become under pressure. When those protections are blurred, a suspect's ability to understand and exercise their rights is severely compromised. We examine how investigators allegedly used false evidence claims, exaggerated forensic certainty, and coercive language during questioning — all while operating under what appears to be a presumption of guilt. Leading questions and narrative-steering hypotheticals amplified that bias, creating an environment designed not to discover truth, but to confirm a theory. These tactics take on even greater significance when considering the weakness of the ballistic evidence at the center of the case. Despite being presented to Allen as definitive, expert analysis reveals substantial uncertainty surrounding the alleged forensic match. Throughout it all, Richard Allen repeatedly maintained his innocence, even as the psychological weight of the interrogation — and the broader investigation — intensified around him. His experience serves as a sobering reminder of how easily confirmation bias can take root, steering investigators toward narrow conclusions while overlooking critical context. This episode explores what happens when interrogation rooms become echo chambers, when pressure replaces clarity, and when the pursuit of justice risks being overshadowed by the pursuit of a confession. These concerns matter not just for the Delphi case, but for every system that relies on fair, evidence-based investigation. #DelphiCase #RichardAllen #TrueCrimeNews #InterrogationAnalysis #BallisticsDebate #JusticeSystem #ConfirmationBias #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #DueProcessRights Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, we take a hard look at the second police interrogation of Richard Allen and the claims investigators made about ballistics evidence. Authorities described the forensic link between Allen's firearm and a bullet allegedly recovered near the Delphi crime scene as ironclad. But experts have repeatedly warned that this type of comparison is far more fragile than the public is led to believe. We break down why this ambiguity matters, how overstated science can shape an interrogation, and how investigators used these claims to amplify psychological pressure in the room. Despite being confronted with confident assertions about gun evidence, Allen maintained his innocence throughout questioning. His refusal to accept the narrative being pushed at him raises a deeper question: How much weight should be placed on a form of forensic testing that many specialists view as subjective at best? We also examine Allen's deteriorating mental state during more than a year spent in solitary confinement—conditions typically reserved for the most dangerous offenders, not individuals awaiting trial. His jailhouse phone calls reveal a man unraveling: confused, disoriented, desperate for relief. At his lowest moments, Allen even tells his wife he would falsely confess if it would end their suffering, highlighting the devastating psychological toll isolation can inflict. This episode forces listeners to confront uncomfortable truths about interrogation tactics, the limits of ballistics evidence, and the immense pressure a vulnerable suspect can face inside the criminal justice system. It's a stark reminder of how quickly the presumption of innocence can erode when a system leans harder on coercion than clarity. #DelphiCase #RichardAllen #TrueCrimeNews #BallisticsEvidence #InterrogationAnalysis #SolitaryConfinement #JusticeSystemFailure #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #DueProcessRights Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Richard Allen interrogation at the center of the Delphi murders case has become one of the most fiercely debated moments in modern true crime. This episode dives deep into the alleged tactics investigators used during the October 13th and October 26th interviews—tactics that raise serious questions about procedure, ethics, and the integrity of the investigative process. From the unclear communication of Allen's custodial status to the inconsistent reinforcement of his Miranda rights, the groundwork for a fair interview was shaky before questioning even began. What unfolded next, according to filings and reports, was an interrogation environment shaped by psychological pressure rather than objective fact-finding. Detectives allegedly exaggerated the strength of video evidence, invoked threats of severe punishment, hinted at possible leniency, and used accusatory language that appeared to treat guilt as a foregone conclusion. Layer in leading questions, hypothetical scenarios, and repeated dismissal of Allen's denials, and the structure of the conversation shifts from discovery to direction—guiding Allen toward a specific narrative instead of pursuing clarity. Throughout it all, Richard Allen continued to deny involvement in the Delphi murders, even as investigators relied heavily on contested ballistics claims presented as definitive proof. For many observers, these tactics raise legitimate concerns about due process, coercion, and the heightened risk of a false confession. In this episode, we break down why these interrogation techniques matter, what they reveal about the broader Delphi investigation, and how they may shape the pursuit of justice in one of the most heartbreaking cases in recent memory. #DelphiCase #RichardAllen #TrueCrimeNews #InterrogationAnalysis #JusticeMatters #CrimeInvestigation #LegalBreakdown #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #DueProcessRights Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Richard Allen's appeal makes a stunning allegation: the search warrant that launched the entire Delphi case was built on misrepresentations. In 2017, witness Sarah Carbaugh told police she saw a man walking down the road wearing a tan jacket. He was muddy. In 2022, Detective Tony Liggett swore under oath that Carbaugh described the man as wearing a blue jacket - and that he was muddy and bloody. Tan became blue. Muddy became muddy and bloody. According to the defense, that's not a mistake. That's allegedly altering a witness statement to fit a narrative. But it doesn't stop there. Betsy Blair - the eyewitness who saw a man on the High Bridge platform - gave a detailed description three days after the murders. Young, early twenties, medium build, brown poofy hair. She rated her sketch ten out of ten for accuracy. Richard Allen was 44 with short hair. He looks nothing like that sketch. The jury never saw it. And according to the appeal, Liggett never told the judge about it either. Blair also told Liggett directly that she and Carbaugh saw two different people. The Indiana State Police agreed - they issued a press release in 2019 saying explicitly they were "not the same person." Then Allen gets arrested and suddenly they're the same guy. The car descriptions don't match Allen's vehicle either. Blair described sharp angles, not black. Wilson described a purple PT Cruiser. Allen drove a black Ford Focus hatchback. Without this warrant, no search. Without the search, no gun. Without the gun, no bullet match. Without the bullet match, no arrest. Without the arrest, no solitary. Without solitary, no confessions. The entire case flows from this document. This episode breaks down every alleged misrepresentation in Detective Liggett's affidavit and why the defense is arguing the warrant should never have been signed. #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #RichardAllenAppeal #DelphiCase #AbbyAndLibby #Delphi #TrueCrime #BridgeGuy #DelphiWarrant #JusticeForAbbyAndLibby Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The state's key physical evidence against Richard Allen was a single unspent bullet found at the Delphi crime scene. What the jury never learned is that the first test came back negative. ISP firearms analyst Melissa Oberg cycled six cartridges through Allen's gun and compared the marks to the crime scene round. According to trial testimony documented in the appeal, she found no match. The direct comparison—cycling to cycling—failed to connect Allen's weapon to the murders. So she ran a different test. She fired cartridges from the gun, then compared those spent casings to the unspent round from the scene. Different mechanical processes. Different marks. And suddenly, she had her match. Defense expert Eric Warren called this comparison "apples to oranges." But it gets worse. The defense had William Tobin ready to testify—a forensic metallurgist recognized by state high courts, with 297 cases under his belt, prepared to explain why the scientific community has serious problems with toolmark methodology. The President's own science advisors issued a report questioning whether this evidence is reliable at all. Judge Gull excluded him. The jury never heard the criticism. They never learned the first test failed. They only heard the prosecutor say Oberg had "never been wrong." In this episode, I break down exactly what happened with the bullet evidence, why the methodology is under fire from the scientific community, and what it means that the expert who could have explained all of this was silenced. Richard Allen is serving 130 years based partly on a match that didn't exist until they changed how they tested it. The appeals court now has to decide if that's science—or something else entirely. #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #RichardAllenAppeal #DelphiCase #AbbyAndLibby #Delphi #TrueCrime #DelphiBullet #ForensicScience #JusticeForAbbyAndLibby Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The state's key physical evidence against Richard Allen was a single unspent bullet found at the Delphi crime scene. What the jury never learned is that the first test came back negative. ISP firearms analyst Melissa Oberg cycled six cartridges through Allen's gun and compared the marks to the crime scene round. According to trial testimony documented in the appeal, she found no match. The direct comparison—cycling to cycling—failed to connect Allen's weapon to the murders. So she ran a different test. She fired cartridges from the gun, then compared those spent casings to the unspent round from the scene. Different mechanical processes. Different marks. And suddenly, she had her match. Defense expert Eric Warren called this comparison "apples to oranges." But it gets worse. The defense had William Tobin ready to testify—a forensic metallurgist recognized by state high courts, with 297 cases under his belt, prepared to explain why the scientific community has serious problems with toolmark methodology. The President's own science advisors issued a report questioning whether this evidence is reliable at all. Judge Gull excluded him. The jury never heard the criticism. They never learned the first test failed. They only heard the prosecutor say Oberg had "never been wrong." In this episode, I break down exactly what happened with the bullet evidence, why the methodology is under fire from the scientific community, and what it means that the expert who could have explained all of this was silenced. Richard Allen is serving 130 years based partly on a match that didn't exist until they changed how they tested it. The appeals court now has to decide if that's science—or something else entirely. #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #RichardAllenAppeal #DelphiCase #AbbyAndLibby #Delphi #TrueCrime #DelphiBullet #ForensicScience #JusticeForAbbyAndLibby Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Richard Allen's appeal makes a stunning allegation: the search warrant that launched the entire Delphi case was built on misrepresentations. In 2017, witness Sarah Carbaugh told police she saw a man walking down the road wearing a tan jacket. He was muddy. In 2022, Detective Tony Liggett swore under oath that Carbaugh described the man as wearing a blue jacket - and that he was muddy and bloody. Tan became blue. Muddy became muddy and bloody. According to the defense, that's not a mistake. That's allegedly altering a witness statement to fit a narrative. But it doesn't stop there. Betsy Blair - the eyewitness who saw a man on the High Bridge platform - gave a detailed description three days after the murders. Young, early twenties, medium build, brown poofy hair. She rated her sketch ten out of ten for accuracy. Richard Allen was 44 with short hair. He looks nothing like that sketch. The jury never saw it. And according to the appeal, Liggett never told the judge about it either. Blair also told Liggett directly that she and Carbaugh saw two different people. The Indiana State Police agreed - they issued a press release in 2019 saying explicitly they were "not the same person." Then Allen gets arrested and suddenly they're the same guy. The car descriptions don't match Allen's vehicle either. Blair described sharp angles, not black. Wilson described a purple PT Cruiser. Allen drove a black Ford Focus hatchback. Without this warrant, no search. Without the search, no gun. Without the gun, no bullet match. Without the bullet match, no arrest. Without the arrest, no solitary. Without solitary, no confessions. The entire case flows from this document. This episode breaks down every alleged misrepresentation in Detective Liggett's affidavit and why the defense is arguing the warrant should never have been signed. #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #RichardAllenAppeal #DelphiCase #AbbyAndLibby #Delphi #TrueCrime #BridgeGuy #DelphiWarrant #JusticeForAbbyAndLibby Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Richard Allen's appeal just dropped — and it's not a narrow legal technicality. It's 113 pages alleging the entire Delphi case was built on lies, omissions, and constitutional violations. The defense claims Detective Liggett's warrant affidavit changed witness descriptions to fit Allen. Betsy Blair described Bridge Guy as young, early twenties, with poofy brown hair — and rated her sketch 10 out of 10 for accuracy. Allen was 44 with short hair. The jury never saw that sketch. Sarah Carbaugh originally said the man wore a tan jacket and was muddy. Liggett wrote "blue jacket" and "muddy and bloody." Blair told investigators directly that she and Carbaugh saw different people. The ISP agreed publicly in 2019. Then Allen got arrested and the story changed. The confessions came after thirteen months of maximum-security solitary confinement — in violation of IDOC's own 30-day policy for mentally ill inmates. Allen lost 45 pounds, ate feces, drank toilet water, banged his head until he had black eyes, and was declared "gravely disabled." He confessed while psychotic — and got basic facts wrong. Said he shot the girls. They weren't shot. Said a van scared him off at a time that doesn't match when the van actually arrived. The state had security footage and FBI data proving their own witness's timeline was false. The jury never heard about the ritual killing investigation that law enforcement pursued for years. Never heard expert testimony on the Norse pagan symbolism at the scene. Never heard about Brad Holder and Patrick Westfall — suspects connected to Odinism whose interviews were lost or destroyed, whose alibis were never properly verified, and whose social media showed disturbing parallels to the crime scene. This episode breaks down every major claim in the appeal and what it means for this case. #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #AbbyAndLibby #DelphiAppeal #TrueCrime #RichardAllenAppeal #DelphiCase #BridgeGuy #Delphi #JusticeForAbbyAndLibby Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, I sit down with defense attorney and trial analyst Bob Motta to examine two major developments shaking the foundation of the Delphi case: the collapse of the timeline investigators built around the murders of Abby Williams and Libby German, and the sweeping appeal just filed on behalf of Richard Allen. For years, the investigative timeline was treated as immutable. But in deposition after deposition, the structure starts to buckle. Bob and I dissect how key witness descriptions were reframed, how the search-warrant affidavit selectively emphasized certain statements, and how critical timestamps shifted depending on which investigator documented them. One witness described a young man and an older car — yet was later framed as having seen something “consistent” with Richard Allen. FBI involvement remains inconsistent depending on who you ask. Even the time of death varies across sworn testimony. Then we turn to Allen's new 130-page appeal brief — nearly double the usual size — outlining ten issues and nine constitutional claims. The defense argues the jury never heard about alternative suspects, including one who allegedly confessed. They challenge the exclusion of more than 1,200 pages of evidence, the handling of 61 unreliable confessions, the thirteen months Allen spent in solitary confinement, and the toolmark analysis behind the unspent bullet that prosecutors say ties his gun to the crime. No DNA linked Allen to the scene. A volunteer clerk found an error that went unnoticed for five years. And a judge blocked jurors from hearing evidence that law enforcement themselves investigated early on. This episode isn't about guilt or innocence — it's about whether the system followed its own rules, and whether the conviction can stand on the foundation the state built. Full breakdown. Every issue explained. No speculation — just the record. #DelphiCase #RichardAllen #AbbyAndLibby #DelphiTimeline #TrueCrimeNews #LegalAnalysis #DelphiAppeal #CourtRecords #HiddenKillers #JusticeReview Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What if humans were pets? That's the question Richard Allen answers with his science-fiction series "Kobo", and his second entry "Kobo's Children" is available now!

Richard Allen is serving 130 years for the murders of Abby Williams and Libby German. The jury has spoken. But his defense team just filed something unprecedented—a request to submit an appeal brief nearly double the standard size. Ten issues. Nine constitutional claims. And a roadmap of everything that went wrong in this case. In this episode, we break down the five categories of Allen's appeal and what each one reveals about how this conviction was built. From the alternative suspects the jury never heard about—including a man who allegedly confessed to the killings months after they happened—to the 1,200 pages of evidence that was blocked from trial. From the sixty-one confessions made by a man who was also confessing to crimes that provably never happened, to the thirteen months of solitary confinement that the defense says broke his mind. No DNA linked Richard Allen to the crime scene. The state's own forensic scientist testified to that. The single piece of physical evidence—an unspent bullet—relies on contested toolmark analysis that the defense wasn't fully allowed to challenge. A volunteer clerk caught a filing error that investigators missed for five years. And a judge blocked the jury from hearing about other suspects, erased interview recordings, and an Odinism theory that law enforcement themselves investigated before dropping it without explanation. This isn't about declaring Richard Allen innocent. It's about asking whether the state proved their case—or just closed it. Whether the jury heard what they needed to hear. Whether this was a constitutional trial or a conviction built on broken confessions and blocked evidence. The families of Abby and Libby deserve justice. But justice isn't just an ending. It's the right ending. Full case breakdown. Every appeal issue explained.

On February 13, 2017, a man named Richard Allen murdered two girls, 14-year-old Liberty German and 13-year-old Abigail Williams in Delphi, in Carroll County. Carroll County Prosecutor Nicholas McLeland and his team, Stacey Diener and James Luttrull, prosecuted him. Allen's defense team consisted of lead counsel Brad Rozzi, Jennifer Auger, and Andrew Baldwin.That defense team established a consistent pattern of engaging in baseless personal attacks on prosecutors and detectives throughout their representation, and also put forward a flimsy theory of the case centering an alleged Norse pagan cult. Allen was convicted on November 11, 2024 by a jury of his peers.The Murder Sheet can now exclusively report that Baldwin filed a ridiculous complaint against McLeland this past summer with Indiana's Disciplinary Commission, a body tasked with disciplinary complaints against lawyers. We will continue talking about Baldwin's frivolous complaint here, and get into the similarly ridiculous complaints we received.

On February 13, 2017, a man named Richard Allen murdered two girls, 14-year-old Liberty German and 13-year-old Abigail Williams in Delphi, in Carroll County. Carroll County Prosecutor Nicholas McLeland and his team, Stacey Diener and James Luttrull, prosecuted him. Allen's defense team consisted of lead counsel Brad Rozzi, Jennifer Auger, and Andrew Baldwin. That defense team established a consistent pattern of engaging in baseless personal attacks on prosecutors and detectives throughout their representation, and also put forward a flimsy theory of the case centering an alleged Norse pagan cult. Allen was convicted on November 11, 2024 by a jury of his peers. The Murder Sheet can now exclusively report that Baldwin filed a ridiculous complaint against McLeland this past summer with Indiana's Disciplinary Commission, a body tasked with disciplinary complaints against lawyers. Baldwin's complaint was dismissed on its face. But we can now share that this was not the only frivolous complaint filed regarding the Delphi murders — we got one too.Find discounts for Murder Sheet listeners here: https://murdersheetpodcast.com/discountsCheck out our upcoming book events and get links to buy tickets here: https://murdersheetpodcast.com/eventsOrder our book on Delphi here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/shadow-of-the-bridge-the-delphi-murders-and-the-dark-side-of-the-american-heartland-aine-cain/21866881?ean=9781639369232Or here: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Shadow-of-the-Bridge/Aine-Cain/9781639369232Or here: https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Bridge-Murders-American-Heartland/dp/1639369236Join our Patreon here! https://www.patreon.com/c/murdersheetSupport The Murder Sheet by buying a t-shirt here: https://www.murdersheetshop.com/Check out more inclusive sizing and t-shirt and merchandising options here: https://themurdersheet.dashery.com/Send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Richard Allen Wife Interview: Kathy's Delphi Transcript Raises QuestionsA newly released police transcript details how Kathy Allen responded when questioned about the day her husband, Richard Allen, was allegedly on the Delphi trails. In this episode, Jack Fox applies Statement Investigation to the interview, analyzing how Kathy's words, silences, and choices of detail reflect her internal state, memory, and potential knowledge.Rather than suggesting guilt or innocence, this analysis focuses on how Kathy navigates pressure, deflects certain topics, and responds to questions about timelines, behaviors, and Richard's own account. Inconsistencies, pronoun shifts, and subtle distancing language are placed under the microscope.This is a breakdown of a documented conversation, showing how language can reflect emotion, hesitation, and uncertainty in high-stakes interviews.Want more from Never A Truer Word?

In this episode, I'm pulling back every layer of the Delphi murders investigation — the layers the public was never supposed to see. The depositions. The affidavits. The early FBI involvement. The abandoned suspects. The suppressed evidence. The symbolic crime-scene elements no one wanted to touch. The Ron Logan raid the state now pretends never happened. The entire fractured internal world that led to one outcome: an investigation that didn't point to Richard Allen… but collapsed into him. This is not the sanitized version of the Delphi story. This is what happens when leadership breaks down, when agencies contradict each other under oath, when key behavioral assessments vanish from the record, and when major suspects — including the closest neighbor to the crime scene — are aggressively pursued and then quietly erased once they become inconvenient. I walk you through the FBI's raid on Ron Logan's home and why the affidavit said there was probable cause he was involved. Why Odinist suspects were ignored. Why symbolic indicators were buried. Why the BAU's ritual assessment disappeared. Why the bullet had no field documentation. Why investigators contradicted each other about the timeline, about the FBI's involvement, about who was actually running the case. This isn't about guilt or innocence. This is about an investigation so fractured, so disorganized, and so unwilling to face its own failures that it needed an answer — any answer — after years of pressure. And that answer became Richard Allen. This is Delphi without the PR spin. And it's long past time the public saw it. #Delphi #DelphiMurders #TrueCrime #RichardAllen #JusticeSystem #LegalAnalysis #PoliceInvestigation #RonLogan #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In today's episode, we take a hard, relentless look at Lieutenant Jerry Holeman's testimony in the Delphi murders case — and what it reveals about the investigation that led to the conviction of Richard Allen. This isn't speculation. This isn't rumor. This is straight from the sworn record: the contradictions, the assumptions, the missing analysis, and the investigative gaps that no one watching the press conferences ever got to see. Holeman was positioned as one of the state's anchors — a senior Indiana State Police investigator expected to bring clarity and confidence to a deeply complex double-homicide case. Instead, his testimony exposes just how shaky the investigative foundation really was. Sticks placed on the bodies of Abby and Libby were dismissed as “camouflage,” even though they concealed nothing. Then, suddenly, the state floated a psychological term — “undoing” — that had never appeared in the investigative record, and Holman endorsed it without hesitation. His certainty about a “single offender” wasn't based on forensic proof. It came from a belief he stated on the stand: that in multi-offender crimes, “someone usually talks.” Yet the case file contains exactly that — a suspect making disturbing comments investigators inexplicably labeled “no further action.” We dive into everything Holman didn't explain: why symbolic elements were barely analyzed, why alternative suspects weren't vetted, why forensic opportunities were missed, why the bullet lacked field documentation, why major investigative questions were replaced with assumptions, and why his testimony often stood in open conflict with other investigators on essential questions like the FBI's role. This isn't about guilt or innocence. It's about whether the investigation that shaped the entire Delphi narrative was thorough, consistent, or grounded in evidence. And Holman's testimony makes it undeniably clear: the holes aren't small. They're foundational. If you care about the truth in Delphi, this breakdown matters. #Delphi #DelphiCase #TrueCrime #RichardAllen #InvestigativeAnalysis #HolemanTestimony #CourtRecord #JusticeSystem #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In our latest interview, defense attorney Bob Motta joins me to dissect the one thing the public never truly got to see in the Delphi murders case: the investigators themselves, speaking under oath. And what those depositions reveal isn't a unified, focused, evidence-driven investigative team — it's a fractured, inconsistent, internally conflicted system struggling under the weight of its own decisions. For years, the Delphi narrative has been kept clean and simple on the surface. But beneath that exterior is a record full of contradictions: investigators who cannot agree on whether the FBI was removed from the case… conflicting recollections about the Behavioral Analysis Unit's early assessment… witness statements reshaped in the search-warrant affidavit… third-party suspects dismissed despite disturbing statements and behavior… symbolic evidence at the crime scene left unexplored… and forensic gaps that defy basic homicide protocol. Bob walks us through all of it — the timeline manipulation, the altered witness descriptions, the failure to pursue leads, the missing documentation around the bullet, the sticks left in the woods for days, and the Odinism material that sat in the prosecutor's office for months before being disclosed. These are not minor mistakes. These are systemic failures with massive implications for Richard Allen's appeal. If you're looking for the polished, sanitized version of this case, this isn't it. This is the raw underside — the part the public didn't see, the part juries never heard, and the part that may very well determine whether this conviction withstands appellate scrutiny. When investigators contradict each other, forget key events, minimize crucial evidence, and reshape witness statements to fit a narrative, it's not just bad optics — it's a crisis of investigative integrity. And today, Bob and I break that crisis wide open. #Delphi #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #TrueCrime #Depositions #LegalAnalysis #JusticeSystem #Investigations #CourtFilings #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the Delphi murders case, the public has only ever been shown one version of events — a clean timeline, a single suspect, and an investigation that supposedly marched in a straight line toward justice. But once you start digging into the actual depositions of the investigators who built the case against Richard Allen, that clean version evaporates fast. What's underneath is something entirely different: a fractured investigation full of contradictions, missing evidence, conflicting statements, and decisions that make you wonder how much of the original truth ever had a chance to survive. Today, we're taking you deep inside the sworn testimony and filings that the public was never meant to examine this closely. What did investigators really say under oath? Why do key officials contradict each other about major decisions — including whether the FBI was pushed out of the case? Why were crucial witness statements reshaped before being used in a search-warrant affidavit? Why were important leads labeled “no further action” despite red-flag behavior? Why were symbolic elements at the crime scene barely documented? And how did evidence end up in court without the chain-of-custody clarity you'd expect in a double-homicide investigation? This isn't about guilt or innocence. It's about process — whether the investigation that led to Richard Allen's conviction was built on solid ground or on decisions that shifted depending on who was asking the questions. And when you open the actual language inside these depositions, you start to see exactly why the integrity of this case is being challenged at the appellate level. Was the investigation thorough? Was it objective? Was it consistent? Or did pressure, confusion, and internal conflict bend the foundation long before the trial ever began? Today, we go through it all — in detail, in context, and with the clarity this case deserves. If you care about the truth in Delphi, you're going to want to hear this. #Delphi #DelphiMurders #AbbyAndLibby #TrueCrime #RichardAllenCase #LegalAnalysis #CrimeInvestigation #Depositions #JusticeSystem #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, I sit down with defense attorney and trial analyst Bob Motta to examine the most explosive development yet in the Delphi case: the collapse of the timeline investigators built around the murders of Abby and Libby. For years, the timeline was treated as settled. But when you read the depositions, the cracks spread fast. Bob and I break down how witness statements were reshaped, how the search-warrant affidavit reframed crucial descriptions, and how timelines were tightened or loosened depending on who was writing the report. This isn't conjecture — it's sworn testimony. Bob walks us through the most glaring issues: a witness who described a young man and an older car, yet was portrayed to the judge as having seen something “consistent” with Richard Allen; investigators who can't agree on when the FBI was involved; conflicting testimony about the time of death; missing documentation around the bullet that ties Allen's gun to the case; symbolic elements at the crime scene ignored or downplayed; and third-party suspects whose movements and statements were never thoroughly pursued. This interview digs into why these inconsistencies matter — not emotionally, but legally. How does a conviction stand when the foundation beneath it shifts every time you compare one deposition to another? How does an affidavit remain valid when key information was omitted or altered? And how does the public reconcile the clean version of the case with the messy, disjointed reality revealed behind closed doors? This isn't about guilt or innocence — it's about whether the system followed its own rules. And according to the depositions, the timeline wasn't built on solid ground. It was built on selective memory, contradictory claims, and investigative shortcuts that now threaten the entire structure of the case. #DelphiCase #TrueCrimeNews #LegalBreakdown #RichardAllenCase #Depositions #CourtRecords #CrimeInvestigation #TimelineAnalysis #HiddenKillers #JusticeReview Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
