When Gustavo “Goose” Alvarez was 18, he was sent to prison for the first time. When he arrived, the other incarcerated men wanted to know if they could trust him — so they handed him a plate of cheesy tacos, and got to know him over that shared meal. From there, Goose learned all kinds of prison cooking tips, including how to use razor blades to boil water and the recipe for a coffee drink called a “Cadillac.” This week Goose shares some of the recipes from his cookbook, Prison Ramen: Recipes and Stories from Behind Bars — and the harrowing story of how that title dish saved his life.Check out Goose's novel, The Pawn, and a couple other great stories about cooking in prison:The Great Ear Hustle Cookoff” on the Ear Hustle podcast“Fixed Menu: Meet the cellblock chefs of Westville Correctional Facility” by Kevin PangThis episode originally aired on April 16, 2018, and May 31, 2021, and was produced by Dan Pashman and Anne Saini.

For the first time since the 2017 Delphi murders, the state of Indiana has released crime scene photos, shedding new light on the evidence used to convict Richard Allen in the deaths of 13-year-old Abby Williams and 14-year-old Libby German. The photos, included in a legal response by Carroll County Prosecutor Nicholas McLeland, show different angles of Libby German's cellphone before it was collected as evidence. The same phone recorded the infamous "bridge guy" video, which played a crucial role in the case. Prosecutors argue the images reinforce their claim that environmental factors, such as water or dirt, could have impacted the phone's functionality. However, Allen's defense team disputes this, insisting the phone was manually activated even after it had reportedly stopped moving. Allen, 52, was convicted in November and sentenced to 130 years in prison for the killings. His attorneys have since filed a Motion to Correct Errors, arguing that multiple issues— including forensic concerns, Allen's treatment while in custody, allegedly false evidence, and an alleged confession from another man— warrant a new trial or the overturning of his conviction. Defense attorney claims safekeeping order was illegal Allen's lawyers have long argued that his pretrial detention at the Westville Correctional Facility, where he spent significant time in solitary confinement, severely impacted his mental health and ultimately influenced the trial's outcome. They describe the safekeeping order that placed him in the facility as “plainly illegal from start to finish.” In response, McLeland dismissed these concerns, stating, “The motion for safekeeping does not touch on matters of guilt or impact the ability to have a fair trial, it is a mechanism for housing the Defendant in a penal facility pending trial that will keep him and others safe.” Surveillance footage and allegations of false evidence The defense has also pointed to newly surfaced surveillance footage from near the crime scene that they claim contradicts the prosecution's timeline of events. According to Allen's attorneys, jurors were presented with false evidence during the trial. McLeland, however, has pushed back, stating that the video is “unverified by legitimate means” and lacks an Indiana State Police identification number. As a result, he argues, it is “an improper submission for consideration by the Court.” Alleged 2017 confession by another suspect Another major argument in the defense's motion revolves around an alleged confession by Ron Logan, the late owner of the property where Abby and Libby were found. According to Indiana State Police records from 2017, Logan allegedly gave a detailed account of how he killed the girls. Allen's attorneys argue that excluding Logan as a third-party suspect was a critical mistake by the court. However, McLeland downplayed the confession, stating that the person who reported it to police “failed the polygraph miserably” and that “many of those details are directly contradicted by the evidence.” Prosecutors push back against new trial request McLeland has urged the judge to deny the defense's motion outright, arguing, “The Defense is not permitted to request a new trial to change strategy when their chosen path fails.” Former prosecutor and current defense attorney Brad Banks echoed this sentiment, predicting that Allen's request will be swiftly denied. “I won't be surprised if this was denied pretty readily,” Banks said. “I think there's somewhere close to 0% chance any of this gets granted.” NBCUniversal fights for public access to evidence In a separate legal development, NBCUniversal has filed a motion requesting that all trial evidence and exhibits be made public. The media company had previously submitted a public records request seeking access to materials in the case, but the state denied that request. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

On Day 11 of Richard Allen's trial in the Delphi murders, the court focused on testimonies related to Allen's mental health and alleged confessions while in prison. Dr. Monica Wala, a psychologist from Westville Correctional Facility, testified about Allen's mental state during his time in prison. She described symptoms of depression, suicidal ideation, and other psychological struggles that Allen faced during his 13 months in solitary confinement. The defense argued that these conditions may have contributed to Allen's behavior and alleged confessions, which were not recorded but documented by prison staff. Dr. Wala confirmed that Allen was under significant mental stress, particularly during his initial months at the facility. The defense also highlighted concerns about the conditions in which Allen received therapy, pointing out that he was confined in a small cage during sessions and was often shackled.Additionally, the day included testimony regarding a car allegedly seen near the crime scene on the day of the murders. Steve Mullin testified that the only 2016 black Ford Focus SE registered in Carroll County belonged to Richard Allen, but the defense argued that the car in the footage could have belonged to someone else, as similar models were registered in surrounding areas. The trial ended with emotional exchanges, including an argument between the defense attorney and Brad Weber, a witness who owns property near the crime scene. Weber vehemently denied a claim made by the defense regarding his activities on the day of the murders. The day concluded with anticipation for more evidence, as the jury was scheduled to listen to audio recordings in the next session.(commercial at 10:32)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:‘I just want to sign my confession': Suspect gives his account of Delphi murders to prison psychologist | WTNH.com

During the hearing for Richard Allen on August 1, 2024, several key developments unfolded in the Delphi murders case. The hearing included arguments from both the defense and the prosecution regarding the conditions of Allen's detention and his mental state.Allen's defense team argued for his relocation from Westville Correctional Facility to the Cass County Jail. They cited poor conditions at Westville, which they claimed were negatively impacting Allen's mental health and hindering their ability to prepare a defense. Testimonies were presented supporting this argument, including evidence that Allen had made incriminating statements in jail, which the defense attributed to his compromised mental state. The prosecution did not object to the proposed relocation, though logistical concerns were raised by local law enforcement.Lawyers for Allen also argued for the admission of their Odinism theory, and had experts provide testimony explaining why it was necessary. Judge Frances Gull postponed the discussion on whether ballistic evidence would be admissible in the trial, scheduling it for a later date. The hearing also highlighted ongoing disputes between the defense and prosecution over various procedural and evidentiary issues.(commercial at 10:42)to contact me:bobycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Delphi murders hearing marked by graphic and emotional testimony | wthr.com

Attorneys representing Richard Allen, the suspect in the Delphi murders case, have filed a motion seeking the removal of Special Judge Fran Gull from the proceedings. In a recent legal maneuver, attorneys Andrew Baldwin and Bradley Rozzi argued that Judge Gull should be replaced or should recuse herself from the case. The motion is the latest development in a series of legal maneuvers surrounding the Delphi murders case. Richard Allen faces charges related to the deaths of Abby Williams and Libby German in February 2017 near the Monon High Bridge in Delphi, Indiana. Baldwin and Rozzi, who were recently reinstated as Allen's defense team, are now seeking Judge Gull's removal from the case. This move follows Gull's earlier call for their removal, citing a social media leak of evidence as a factor. Although Baldwin and Rozzi initially resigned, they later contended that they did so under pressure. Subsequently, two new attorneys were appointed to represent Allen. The reinstatement of Baldwin and Rozzi involved a legal battle that reached the Indiana Supreme Court. While the highest court in the state reinstated the defense attorneys, they also denied a motion to remove Judge Gull from the case. In their latest motion seeking Judge Gull's removal, Baldwin and Rozzi, on behalf of their client Richard Allen, questioned Gull's impartiality and her ability to oversee the case without bias. They expressed concerns that Gull's previous actions had affected their attorney-client relationship. The motion argued that Gull's recusal would help eliminate any perception of impropriety in the case. It questioned whether Gull, having previously removed the defense attorneys, could make rulings without raising doubts about her impartiality. During the course of the proceedings, Gull had accused Rozzi and Baldwin of acting negligently and with incompetence in their defense of Allen, alleging violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct. She also expressed "grave concerns" about their ability to represent him. The defense attorneys contended that Gull's actions had violated Allen's constitutional right to due process. In a 22-page affidavit accompanying the motion, Richard Allen accused Judge Gull of misleading the public during the October 19 proceedings when she announced the attorneys' withdrawal from the case. He also claimed that Gull had interfered with his right to a speedy trial. The affidavit further alleged that Gull had treated the prosecution more favorably than the defense. Allen accused Gull of allowing the prosecution to withhold potentially exculpatory evidence for months, while she had criticized the defense attorneys for their actions. The motion argued that Judge Gull had interfered with Allen's right to a speedy trial by preventing him from having counsel of his choosing, resulting in trial delays. Additionally, Allen claimed that his confinement at Westville Correctional Facility since his arrest in October 2022 had led to both mental and physical deterioration. Furthermore, the affidavit asserted that Judge Gull had shielded certain defense documents and records from public view, violating administrative rules from the Indiana Supreme Court and compromising public access. The motion ultimately called for Judge Gull's removal or recusal from the case, citing concerns about her impartiality and her impact on the attorney-client relationship. It remains to be seen how this latest development will affect the ongoing legal proceedings in the Delphi murders case. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a 22-page affidavit accompanying the motion, Richard Allen accused Judge Gull of misleading the public during the October 19 proceedings when she announced the attorneys' withdrawal from the case. He also claimed that Gull had interfered with his right to a speedy trial. The affidavit further alleged that Gull had treated the prosecution more favorably than the defense. Allen accused Gull of allowing the prosecution to withhold potentially exculpatory evidence for months, while she had criticized the defense attorneys for their actions. The motion argued that Judge Gull had interfered with Allen's right to a speedy trial by preventing him from having counsel of his choosing, resulting in trial delays. Additionally, Allen claimed that his confinement at Westville Correctional Facility since his arrest in October 2022 had led to both mental and physical deterioration. Furthermore, the affidavit asserted that Judge Gull had shielded certain defense documents and records from public view, violating administrative rules from the Indiana Supreme Court and compromising public access. The motion ultimately called for Judge Gull's removal or recusal from the case, citing concerns about her impartiality and her impact on the attorney-client relationship. It remains to be seen how this latest development will affect the ongoing legal proceedings in the Delphi murders case. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Attorneys representing Richard Allen, the suspect in the Delphi murders case, have filed a motion seeking the removal of Special Judge Fran Gull from the proceedings. In a recent legal maneuver, attorneys Andrew Baldwin and Bradley Rozzi argued that Judge Gull should be replaced or should recuse herself from the case. The motion is the latest development in a series of legal maneuvers surrounding the Delphi murders case. Richard Allen faces charges related to the deaths of Abby Williams and Libby German in February 2017 near the Monon High Bridge in Delphi, Indiana. Baldwin and Rozzi, who were recently reinstated as Allen's defense team, are now seeking Judge Gull's removal from the case. This move follows Gull's earlier call for their removal, citing a social media leak of evidence as a factor. Although Baldwin and Rozzi initially resigned, they later contended that they did so under pressure. Subsequently, two new attorneys were appointed to represent Allen. The reinstatement of Baldwin and Rozzi involved a legal battle that reached the Indiana Supreme Court. While the highest court in the state reinstated the defense attorneys, they also denied a motion to remove Judge Gull from the case. In their latest motion seeking Judge Gull's removal, Baldwin and Rozzi, on behalf of their client Richard Allen, questioned Gull's impartiality and her ability to oversee the case without bias. They expressed concerns that Gull's previous actions had affected their attorney-client relationship. The motion argued that Gull's recusal would help eliminate any perception of impropriety in the case. It questioned whether Gull, having previously removed the defense attorneys, could make rulings without raising doubts about her impartiality.

In a significant development in the ongoing legal proceedings surrounding the Delphi murders case, defense attorneys representing Richard Allen have filed a motion for his transfer from the Wabash Valley Correctional Facility. This request, articulated in a six-page document by attorneys Robert Scremin and William Lebrato, underscores the logistical challenges and potential impact on their ability to effectively represent Allen. Richard Allen, accused of the 2017 murders of Abby Williams and Libby German in Delphi, Indiana, has been in custody for over two years, during which his safekeeping has been a recurring concern. Initially held at the Westville Correctional Facility, Allen was transferred to Wabash Valley Correctional Facility on December 6, 2023. This move, however, has not alleviated the difficulties faced by his legal team. Scremin and Lebrato, who took over Allen's representation following the dismissal of attorneys Brad Rozzi and Andrew Baldwin, have expressed that the distance between their base in Fort Wayne and the Wabash Valley facility, located 233 miles away in Sullivan County, is excessively burdensome. They describe a visit to Allen on December 22, 2023, as a grueling 10-hour endeavor, involving a meeting in a makeshift visitation room that they likened to a prep-kitchen, with Allen confined to a cell within this space. The motion also revisits concerns previously raised about the conditions at Westville Correctional Facility, including the treatment of Allen, who was reportedly shackled and chained in a manner reminiscent of the fictional character Hannibal Lecter. Additionally, the attorneys highlighted the presence of Odinism within the facility, noting a guard with face tattoos symbolizing Odin's spear, among other related tattoos. Scremin, with 25 years of legal practice, emphasized the unprecedented nature of these visitation conditions, advocating for Allen's transfer to either the Allen County Jail or the Adams County Jail to facilitate more effective legal counsel. The decision on this motion rests with special judge Fran Gull, whose role in the case is itself a subject of deliberation. A hearing scheduled for January 18 by the Supreme Court will address not only Judge Gull's involvement but also the potential reinstatement of Allen's previous attorneys, Rozzi and Baldwin. The outcome of this hearing, set for 11 a.m., could significantly influence the course of this high-profile case Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Richard Allen, the man accused of killing two Delphi teenagers, has been transferred to a new correctional facility in Indiana, according to a transfer notice filed by the Indiana Attorney General. Allen's relocation comes after an emergency order was filed on April 5 by his former defense team, citing poor living conditions and unfair treatment at his previous prison. Judge Frances Gull granted the request for Richard Allen's transfer, responding to concerns raised by his former defense counsel. Allen had been housed at the Westville Correctional Facility since November 3, 2022, before his relocation to the Wabash Valley Correctional Facility on December 6, as indicated in the notice. Records show that Allen remains on 'long-term segregation' at the new facility, a status that involves physical separation from the general offender population and is typically assigned to inmates in a designated unit. Allen's case has been marked by various legal issues, including efforts to change the location of his trial and disputes over his legal representation. His former defense team had asserted that Odinists, a white nationalist group, were responsible for the 2017 murders of Libby and Abby, casting doubt on Allen's guilt. Earlier this year, Judge Gull denied a request to move Allen's trial out of Carroll County but stipulated that all jurors for the case would be selected from Allen County. Allen's trial was initially scheduled for January 2024 but was later postponed to October 15-31, 2024, to allow his newly appointed public defenders, Robert Scremin and William Lebrato, adequate time to prepare his defense. Despite Allen's legal challenges and requests, both Judge Gull and Attorney General Todd Rokita rejected his petition to have Judge Gull removed from the case and his former attorneys, Andrew Baldwin and Brad Rozzi, reinstated. The rejection was based on their assessment that Allen's actions were "improper" and "inappropriate." They emphasized that Allen should have pursued the appropriate legal channels to address his concerns, such as filing an appeal, which he did not do. Judge Gull further accused Allen's former attorneys of gross negligence, including leaking confidential case materials, providing false information to the court, and making extrajudicial statements likely to prejudice the case. As Richard Allen continues to navigate the legal complexities surrounding his case, the upcoming trial in October 2024 will be a critical juncture in determining his fate in the murder of Libby and Abby, whose deaths continue to haunt the Delphi community.

The Delphi murder case, ensnaring Richard Allen, has spiraled into a vortex of alarming allegations and judicial controversies, raising critical questions about the integrity of the American justice system. In a candid discussion with psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott on the "Hidden Killers" podcast, hosted by Tony Brueski, the dark underbelly of prison life and its potential impact on Allen's mental health and case were brought into sharp focus. The allegations of abuse at Westville Correctional Facility, where Allen is currently held, have been thrust into the limelight by inmate Robert Baston. Baston's claims of witnessing Allen being abused and mistreated by correctional officers and staff, and his subsequent withdrawal from testifying due to fears for his own life, sketch a grim picture of life behind bars. Shavaun Scott, delving into the psychological ramifications, emphasized the need for transparency and humane treatment within correctional facilities. "Certainly nobody who's incarcerated is entitled to a club med, but you want to feel like people are treated with basic human dignity," Scott stated. She further pointed out the potential for false confessions under duress, a critical consideration in Allen's case, given his reported poor mental health status. The conversation also shed light on the diverse nature of prison systems across the United States, with Scott highlighting disparities in standards and oversight from state to state. The variability raises significant concerns about the consistency and quality of prisoner treatment, an issue that becomes even more pertinent in high-profile cases like Allen's. Another twist in the tale is the recent release of a transcript detailing a closed-door conversation between Judge Gull and Allen's attorneys, Bradley Rozzi and Andrew Baldwin. The transcript, as per Brueski's analysis, seems to confirm the coercion allegations against Judge Gull, putting her actions and decisions under scrutiny. Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor, weighed in on Judge Gull's conduct, questioning the appropriateness of her decisions and her reluctance to release the transcript. "Judges make mistakes all the time. Judges aren't god. That's what appellate courts are for - they get reversed," Rahmani remarked, suggesting a potential path forward for the case. As the Delphi murder case continues to unravel, the spotlight falls not just on the suspect but also on the systemic issues within the judicial and correctional systems. With allegations of abuse, concerns over Richard Allen's mental health, and judicial decisions under question, the case has become a microcosm of broader systemic challenges. With the Indiana Supreme Court set to weigh in, the future of the case, and more importantly, the pursuit of justice for the victims and their families, hangs in the balance. As Brueski aptly puts it, "Hopefully they can get somewhere out of the sideshow land on this and back to finding justice for those." As the Delphi community and the nation await further developments, one can't help but wonder: Will the pursuit of justice in the Delphi murders bring about much-needed change and accountability within the criminal justice system, or will it unveil deeper, more systemic issues that demand urgent attention and reform?

The Delphi murder case, involving suspect Richard Allen, has increasingly become a focal point for discussions not only about the crime itself but also about the treatment of the accused in the judicial system. In a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, host Tony Brueski engaged in a thought-provoking conversation with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, exploring the complexities of Allen's situation, both in prison and in the courtroom. At the heart of the matter are allegations of abuse within the Westville Correctional Facility, where Allen is being held. Robert Baston, a fellow inmate, initially voiced concerns about Allen's mistreatment by staff but later refrained from testifying, citing fears for his safety. Dreeke, with his extensive FBI experience, offered insights into the dynamics at play in such environments. "Prisoners lie sometimes, and especially convicted sex offenders," he stated, acknowledging the difficulty in verifying such claims. The conversation then shifted to the actions of Judge Gull, who recently released a transcript revealing her interactions with Allen's attorneys, Rozzi and Baldwin. The document brought to light what many had suspected: a forceful, almost threatening stance by the judge towards the defense lawyers. Dreeke's analysis of the situation was clear: "Judges aren't god," he remarked, emphasizing that while judges hold significant power, their decisions are subject to review and reversal by higher courts. Dreeke also highlighted the importance of checks and balances within the judicial system, noting that increased scrutiny and media attention, like that on the Delphi case, can prompt necessary investigations and corrections. He remained optimistic about the system's ability to self-correct, despite its imperfections and bureaucratic complexities. However, the revelations about Judge Gull's conduct and the alleged prison abuse raise serious questions about the fairness of Allen's trial and the treatment of suspects within the criminal justice system. As Dreeke pointedly noted, "If there was abuse that's going on that is inappropriate, I would think that it's already going to be coming to light." The discussion on "Hidden Killers" brought to the forefront the need for transparency and accountability in high-profile cases like the Delphi murders. With the world watching, the manner in which Richard Allen's case is handled could set a precedent for future legal proceedings, especially in cases attracting significant public interest. As the conversation concluded, Brueski and Dreeke agreed on the need for a focus shift back to the core of the case: seeking justice for the victims. The numerous side issues, while important, should not overshadow the primary goal of determining the truth behind the tragic deaths of two young girls.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The Delphi murder case, involving suspect Richard Allen, has increasingly become a focal point for discussions not only about the crime itself but also about the treatment of the accused in the judicial system. In a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, host Tony Brueski engaged in a thought-provoking conversation with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, exploring the complexities of Allen's situation, both in prison and in the courtroom. At the heart of the matter are allegations of abuse within the Westville Correctional Facility, where Allen is being held. Robert Baston, a fellow inmate, initially voiced concerns about Allen's mistreatment by staff but later refrained from testifying, citing fears for his safety.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The Delphi murder case, ensnaring Richard Allen, has spiraled into a vortex of alarming allegations and judicial controversies, raising critical questions about the integrity of the American justice system. In a candid discussion with psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott on the "Hidden Killers" podcast, hosted by Tony Brueski, the dark underbelly of prison life and its potential impact on Allen's mental health and case were brought into sharp focus. The allegations of abuse at Westville Correctional Facility, where Allen is currently held, have been thrust into the limelight by inmate Robert Baston. Baston's claims of witnessing Allen being abused and mistreated by correctional officers and staff, and his subsequent withdrawal from testifying due to fears for his own life, sketch a grim picture of life behind bars. Shavaun Scott, delving into the psychological ramifications, emphasized the need for transparency and humane treatment within correctional facilities. "Certainly nobody who's incarcerated is entitled to a club med, but you want to feel like people are treated with basic human dignity," Scott stated. She further pointed out the potential for false confessions under duress, a critical consideration in Allen's case, given his reported poor mental health status. The conversation also shed light on the diverse nature of prison systems across the United States, with Scott highlighting disparities in standards and oversight from state to state. The variability raises significant concerns about the consistency and quality of prisoner treatment, an issue that becomes even more pertinent in high-profile cases like Allen's. Another twist in the tale is the recent release of a transcript detailing a closed-door conversation between Judge Gull and Allen's attorneys, Bradley Rozzi and Andrew Baldwin. The transcript, as per Brueski's analysis, seems to confirm the coercion allegations against Judge Gull, putting her actions and decisions under scrutiny. Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor, weighed in on Judge Gull's conduct, questioning the appropriateness of her decisions and her reluctance to release the transcript. "Judges make mistakes all the time. Judges aren't god. That's what appellate courts are for - they get reversed," Rahmani remarked, suggesting a potential path forward for the case. As the Delphi murder case continues to unravel, the spotlight falls not just on the suspect but also on the systemic issues within the judicial and correctional systems. With allegations of abuse, concerns over Richard Allen's mental health, and judicial decisions under question, the case has become a microcosm of broader systemic challenges. With the Indiana Supreme Court set to weigh in, the future of the case, and more importantly, the pursuit of justice for the victims and their families, hangs in the balance. As Brueski aptly puts it, "Hopefully they can get somewhere out of the sideshow land on this and back to finding justice for those." As the Delphi community and the nation await further developments, one can't help but wonder: Will the pursuit of justice in the Delphi murders bring about much-needed change and accountability within the criminal justice system, or will it unveil deeper, more systemic issues that demand urgent attention and reform?

The Delphi murder case, involving the prime suspect Richard Allen, has taken a distressing turn with emerging allegations of abuse and mistreatment within the walls of Westville Correctional Facility. These revelations, brought to light by inmate Robert Baston, add another layer of complexity to an already convoluted case. Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor, joined Tony Brueski on the podcast "Hidden Killers" to dissect these claims and their potential impact on the case. Baston's reluctance to testify, citing concerns for his own safety, raises significant questions about the conditions in the correctional facility. As Rahmani points out, his statements could be a critical indicator of underlying issues. "Prisoners lie sometimes, especially convicted sex offenders. But, physical abuse does happen in correctional facilities," Rahmani acknowledged, suggesting the possibility of validity behind Baston's claims. The conversation delved into the nature of oversight in such institutions. Rahmani highlighted the roles of independent watchdogs, like an inspector general, and the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division, in investigating and potentially rectifying such issues. He also noted the possibility of civil litigation as a recourse for inmates facing abuse. "There's a few ways to hold bad actors on the law enforcement side accountable if there is indeed some sort of abuse going on," Rahmani explained. However, the path to justice is fraught with challenges. Rahmani pointed out the inherent risks faced by inmates like Baston, who consider speaking out against their alleged abusers. The fear of retaliation is a palpable threat that can dissuade inmates from coming forward, a concern that Baston himself seems to share. This situation in Westville Correctional Facility, where Richard Allen is detained, complicates the already tumultuous Delphi murder case. The allegations, if true, not only cast a shadow over the integrity of the facility but also raise concerns about the treatment of inmates, including those awaiting trial, like Allen. Rahmani's insights underscore a crucial aspect of the American criminal justice system – the need for transparent and accountable correctional facilities. As the Delphi case continues to unfold, these allegations of abuse within Westville Correctional Facility demand attention and action. In the quest for justice in the Delphi murders, the treatment of suspects and inmates remains a critical component. As Rahmani aptly put it, "I'm not in prison. I'm not dealing with these types of abusive guards, at least allegedly. So, it's a question of, are they willing to, just like any other testimony, right? If you're testifying against someone in court, it could be a co-defendant, it could be a guard. You know, there is always that fear of retaliation and that's real." The Delphi murder case has evolved beyond a mere criminal investigation, touching upon broader issues of human rights and the administration of justice within correctional facilities. As new details emerge, one can't help but wonder: How will these allegations influence the ongoing legal battle for Richard Allen, and what steps will be taken to ensure that justice prevails not just in the courtroom but within the walls of correctional institutions?

The unfolding narrative around Richard Allen, the primary suspect in the infamous Delphi murders, has taken a disturbing turn. Recent allegations suggest a harrowing reality within the walls of the Westville Correctional Facility, where Allen is being held. These claims, voiced by fellow inmate Robert Baston, paint a bleak picture of abuse and mistreatment by the staff and guards. In an illuminating discussion on the "Hidden Killers" podcast, hosted by Tony Brueski, former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer sheds light on these troubling accusations and the complexities of prison life. Baston, who had initially intended to testify about the alleged abuse, withdrew his statement citing fears for his safety. This development raises crucial questions about the oversight and conduct in correctional facilities, especially in high-profile cases like Allen's. Coffindaffer explains the challenging dynamics within prisons, where guards often work under stressful conditions with low pay, creating a 'perfect storm' for potential conflicts and abuse. She underscores the dire need for more comprehensive monitoring, such as body-worn cameras, to protect both inmates and guards from false allegations and abuse. "This is the worst case scenario," Coffindaffer notes, emphasizing the need for effective measures to ensure safety and fairness in the penal system. The situation in Westville Correctional Facility, as described by Baston, calls for immediate and thorough investigation. The absence of adequate surveillance and protective measures not only endangers the welfare of inmates like Allen but also casts a shadow over the integrity of the justice system. It's a stark reminder of the often-overlooked human rights issues within the penal system, especially for those awaiting trial and presumed innocent until proven guilty. Brueski and Coffindaffer's conversation gravitates towards the broader implications of such allegations. If true, they not only reflect a failure in the prison system but also potentially jeopardize the due process for Allen. Coffindaffer raises a valid concern that if Allen is convicted, these issues could lead to an overturning of the verdict, further delaying justice for the victims. The deterioration observed in Allen's physical and mental state, as pointed out by Coffindaffer, adds another layer of complexity to the case. The transition from a normal life to the harsh realities of prison life, especially under the alleged conditions, could have a profound impact on any individual. "It's just it would be so negatively impactful on a person," Coffindaffer remarks, highlighting the drastic change in Allen's condition. As the case continues to unfold, the spotlight is not only on Allen's guilt or innocence but also on the conditions of his incarceration. It's a situation that begs for transparency, accountability, and reform in the prison system. The allegations, if verified, not only call for immediate action to safeguard the rights and well-being of inmates but also raise significant questions about the efficacy of the justice system in handling high-profile cases. The Delphi murder case, with its twists and turns, underscores the urgent need for a fair and just legal process, not just for the accused but also for the victims seeking closure. As Coffindaffer aptly puts it, the ultimate goal is to see the justice system work correctly, ensuring that such administrative and procedural lapses do not hinder the path to justice for Abby and Libby, the young victims of this tragic case. In the shadow of these grave allegations, one cannot help but ponder: Can the justice system rise to the challenge and ensure a fair trial for Richard Allen while also addressing the deeply rooted issues within the prison system? Or will these allegations be another chapter in the long history of systemic failures in the treatment of inmates, especially those yet to be proven guilty?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The Delphi murder case, involving the prime suspect Richard Allen, has taken a distressing turn with emerging allegations of abuse and mistreatment within the walls of Westville Correctional Facility. These revelations, brought to light by inmate Robert Baston, add another layer of complexity to an already convoluted case. Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor, joined Tony Brueski on the podcast "Hidden Killers" to dissect these claims and their potential impact on the case. Baston's reluctance to testify, citing concerns for his own safety, raises significant questions about the conditions in the correctional facility. As Rahmani points out, his statements could be a critical indicator of underlying issues. "Prisoners lie sometimes, especially convicted sex offenders. But, physical abuse does happen in correctional facilities," Rahmani acknowledged, suggesting the possibility of validity behind Baston's claims. The conversation delved into the nature of oversight in such institutions. Rahmani highlighted the roles of independent watchdogs, like an inspector general, and the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division, in investigating and potentially rectifying such issues. He also noted the possibility of civil litigation as a recourse for inmates facing abuse. "There's a few ways to hold bad actors on the law enforcement side accountable if there is indeed some sort of abuse going on," Rahmani explained. However, the path to justice is fraught with challenges. Rahmani pointed out the inherent risks faced by inmates like Baston, who consider speaking out against their alleged abusers. The fear of retaliation is a palpable threat that can dissuade inmates from coming forward, a concern that Baston himself seems to share. This situation in Westville Correctional Facility, where Richard Allen is detained, complicates the already tumultuous Delphi murder case. The allegations, if true, not only cast a shadow over the integrity of the facility but also raise concerns about the treatment of inmates, including those awaiting trial, like Allen. Rahmani's insights underscore a crucial aspect of the American criminal justice system – the need for transparent and accountable correctional facilities. As the Delphi case continues to unfold, these allegations of abuse within Westville Correctional Facility demand attention and action. In the quest for justice in the Delphi murders, the treatment of suspects and inmates remains a critical component. As Rahmani aptly put it, "I'm not in prison. I'm not dealing with these types of abusive guards, at least allegedly. So, it's a question of, are they willing to, just like any other testimony, right? If you're testifying against someone in court, it could be a co-defendant, it could be a guard. You know, there is always that fear of retaliation and that's real." The Delphi murder case has evolved beyond a mere criminal investigation, touching upon broader issues of human rights and the administration of justice within correctional facilities. As new details emerge, one can't help but wonder: How will these allegations influence the ongoing legal battle for Richard Allen, and what steps will be taken to ensure that justice prevails not just in the courtroom but within the walls of correctional institutions?

The unfolding narrative around Richard Allen, the primary suspect in the infamous Delphi murders, has taken a disturbing turn. Recent allegations suggest a harrowing reality within the walls of the Westville Correctional Facility, where Allen is being held. These claims, voiced by fellow inmate Robert Baston, paint a bleak picture of abuse and mistreatment by the staff and guards. In an illuminating discussion on the "Hidden Killers" podcast, hosted by Tony Brueski, former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer sheds light on these troubling accusations and the complexities of prison life. Baston, who had initially intended to testify about the alleged abuse, withdrew his statement citing fears for his safety. This development raises crucial questions about the oversight and conduct in correctional facilities, especially in high-profile cases like Allen's. Coffindaffer explains the challenging dynamics within prisons, where guards often work under stressful conditions with low pay, creating a 'perfect storm' for potential conflicts and abuse. She underscores the dire need for more comprehensive monitoring, such as body-worn cameras, to protect both inmates and guards from false allegations and abuse. "This is the worst case scenario," Coffindaffer notes, emphasizing the need for effective measures to ensure safety and fairness in the penal system. The situation in Westville Correctional Facility, as described by Baston, calls for immediate and thorough investigation. The absence of adequate surveillance and protective measures not only endangers the welfare of inmates like Allen but also casts a shadow over the integrity of the justice system. It's a stark reminder of the often-overlooked human rights issues within the penal system, especially for those awaiting trial and presumed innocent until proven guilty. Brueski and Coffindaffer's conversation gravitates towards the broader implications of such allegations. If true, they not only reflect a failure in the prison system but also potentially jeopardize the due process for Allen. Coffindaffer raises a valid concern that if Allen is convicted, these issues could lead to an overturning of the verdict, further delaying justice for the victims. The deterioration observed in Allen's physical and mental state, as pointed out by Coffindaffer, adds another layer of complexity to the case. The transition from a normal life to the harsh realities of prison life, especially under the alleged conditions, could have a profound impact on any individual. "It's just it would be so negatively impactful on a person," Coffindaffer remarks, highlighting the drastic change in Allen's condition. As the case continues to unfold, the spotlight is not only on Allen's guilt or innocence but also on the conditions of his incarceration. It's a situation that begs for transparency, accountability, and reform in the prison system. The allegations, if verified, not only call for immediate action to safeguard the rights and well-being of inmates but also raise significant questions about the efficacy of the justice system in handling high-profile cases. The Delphi murder case, with its twists and turns, underscores the urgent need for a fair and just legal process, not just for the accused but also for the victims seeking closure. As Coffindaffer aptly puts it, the ultimate goal is to see the justice system work correctly, ensuring that such administrative and procedural lapses do not hinder the path to justice for Abby and Libby, the young victims of this tragic case. In the shadow of these grave allegations, one cannot help but ponder: Can the justice system rise to the challenge and ensure a fair trial for Richard Allen while also addressing the deeply rooted issues within the prison system? Or will these allegations be another chapter in the long history of systemic failures in the treatment of inmates, especially those yet to be proven guilty?

In a startling development in the Delphi murders case, defense attorneys Andrew Baldwin and Bradley Rozzi announced their withdrawal from representing Richard Allen, the man accused of the brutal killing of two teenage girls in 2017. This decision comes in the wake of a significant leak of sensitive information, including graphic crime scene photographs, from their office. The Delphi murders, which took place over six years ago, saw the tragic deaths of Abby Williams, 13, and Libby German, 14. The two girls were found murdered on a hiking trail just outside their hometown of Delphi. Richard Allen, 51, was charged with their murders in October 2022 after forensic evidence linked a .40-caliber round found at the crime scene to a gun he owned. Special Judge Fran Gull, during a scheduled hearing, termed the attorneys' decision as an "unexpected turn of events." While the exact reasons for Baldwin and Rozzi's withdrawal remain undisclosed, it coincides with the revelation of the leak of crucial court documents from Baldwin's office. David R. Hennessy, representing Baldwin, stated in a memorandum that three suspected "disseminators" had "betrayed" Baldwin, accessing case-related documents that were securely stored. "Attorney Baldwin did nothing wrong. He was snookered and abused," asserted Hennessy, emphasizing Baldwin's innocence in the leak. This recent development has cast uncertainty over the timeline of Allen's trial. While a hearing is scheduled for Oct. 31, Judge Gull expressed skepticism over retaining the original trial date of Jan. 8. "I don't believe counsel will be prepared within the next couple of months to try a case of this magnitude in January," she remarked. Adding another layer of complexity to the case, Allen had previously confessed to the murders during prison phone calls to his wife and mother. However, these confessions are now under scrutiny. Baldwin and Rozzi had earlier posited a theory suggesting that the girls were "ritualistically sacrificed" by a racist pagan cult known as Odinists. They argued that Allen was "monitored, intimidated, and mentally abused" at Westville Correctional Facility by corrections officers who were members of this cult. The defense attorneys further claimed that the cult might have targeted the girls due to a mixed-race relationship in their family. "Nothing, absolutely nothing, links Richard Allen to Odinism or any religious cult," Baldwin and Rozzi emphasized in a September filing, challenging the narrative of Allen's involvement with the cult Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," host Tony Brueski and guest Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent and Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, discussed a puzzling case involving accusations of Odinism. The question they set out to answer was a chilling one: "Can Norse religious symbolism be directly linked to a possible conspiracy and murder?" Court documents filed on October 10th revealed that the prosecutor of the case had been in discussions with two correctional officers at Westville Correctional Facility. These officers are believed to be connected to allegations brought forth in an affidavit, which accuses them and others of Odinist beliefs. Furthermore, it was claimed that these beliefs may have played a role in them making threats against one Richard Allen, and even trying to coerce him into confessing to a crime. "It just adds more to the mystique or the mystery of all this," Brueski mused, highlighting the fascinating intersection of religious symbolism and crime accusations. The spotlight on Odinism grew stronger when patches associated with the Norse religion were spotted on the uniforms of some correctional officers. However, they defended themselves by acknowledging the patches but denied any ties to Odinism, explaining that they had since removed them. However, the crux of the mystery lies in the nature of the crime itself and the prosecution's evidence against Richard Allen. As it stands, Allen's connection to the crime scene is primarily based on a bullet from his weapon and his presence near the crime location during the time of the crime. Both pieces of evidence, as Dreeke pointed out, are circumstantial. "So, let's look at this. In all we know, in all we've seen, all we've been exposed to in the world of true crime... how often have we heard of Odinism and ritual sacrifice?" Dreeke asks. The answer, as he alluded to, is not very often. This suggests that the Odinism defense is an extreme outlier and possibly a red herring. When you combine that with Richard Allen's seemingly ordinary background – a father and a pharmacy tech at CVS – the accusations become even murkier. Dreeke pondered on the disconnect between Allen's unremarkable past and the heinous nature of the crime he's accused of, questioning whether there might be something the prosecution knows but has yet to reveal. However, the defense's hesitation to submit Allen's mental health records has added another layer of complexity to the proceedings. Brueski speculates that these records might indicate some trauma or mental health issues, but Dreeke was quick to point out that such personal challenges should not be automatically linked to a crime. With multiple theories and a cloud of uncertainty surrounding the case, both Brueski and Dreeke agreed that neither the Odinism angle nor the accusations against Allen fit comfortably within what is typically seen in criminal behaviors. In the world of true crime, every case has its mysteries, its red herrings, and its unexpected twists. This case, with its blend of religious symbolism, conspiracy theories, and an unlikely suspect, certainly promises to keep listeners and readers intrigued. But it leaves us with one more burning question: "In a world where facts often get stranger than fiction, will the truth about this crime ever fully come to light?"

But it leaves us with one more burning question: "In a world where facts often get stranger than fiction, will the truth about this crime ever fully come to light?"

In a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," host Tony Brueski and guest Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent and Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, discussed a puzzling case involving accusations of Odinism. The question they set out to answer was a chilling one: "Can Norse religious symbolism be directly linked to a possible conspiracy and murder?" Court documents filed on October 10th revealed that the prosecutor of the case had been in discussions with two correctional officers at Westville Correctional Facility. These officers are believed to be connected to allegations brought forth in an affidavit, which accuses them and others of Odinist beliefs. Furthermore, it was claimed that these beliefs may have played a role in them making threats against one Richard Allen, and even trying to coerce him into confessing to a crime. "It just adds more to the mystique or the mystery of all this," Brueski mused, highlighting the fascinating intersection of religious symbolism and crime accusations. The spotlight on Odinism grew stronger when patches associated with the Norse religion were spotted on the uniforms of some correctional officers. However, they defended themselves by acknowledging the patches but denied any ties to Odinism, explaining that they had since removed them. However, the crux of the mystery lies in the nature of the crime itself and the prosecution's evidence against Richard Allen. As it stands, Allen's connection to the crime scene is primarily based on a bullet from his weapon and his presence near the crime location during the time of the crime. Both pieces of evidence, as Dreeke pointed out, are circumstantial. "So, let's look at this. In all we know, in all we've seen, all we've been exposed to in the world of true crime... how often have we heard of Odinism and ritual sacrifice?" Dreeke asks. The answer, as he alluded to, is not very often. This suggests that the Odinism defense is an extreme outlier and possibly a red herring. When you combine that with Richard Allen's seemingly ordinary background – a father and a pharmacy tech at CVS – the accusations become even murkier. Dreeke pondered on the disconnect between Allen's unremarkable past and the heinous nature of the crime he's accused of, questioning whether there might be something the prosecution knows but has yet to reveal. However, the defense's hesitation to submit Allen's mental health records has added another layer of complexity to the proceedings. Brueski speculates that these records might indicate some trauma or mental health issues, but Dreeke was quick to point out that such personal challenges should not be automatically linked to a crime. With multiple theories and a cloud of uncertainty surrounding the case, both Brueski and Dreeke agreed that neither the Odinism angle nor the accusations against Allen fit comfortably within what is typically seen in criminal behaviors.

In a recent development surrounding the Delphi murders, a memorandum filed in the Carroll County Circuit Court has shed light on potential links between the crime and followers of the pagan Norse religion, Odinism. The document, titled "FINAL DRAFT - Delphi Franks brief," suggests that members of Odinism, a religion hijacked by white nationalists, may have been involved in the ritualistic killings of Abigail Williams and Liberty German. Key Claims from the Document: Odinist Signatures at the Crime Scene: The memorandum claims that symbols in the form of runes, associated with Odinism, were found at the crime scene. These runes were allegedly formed with sticks, fashioned with tree branches, and painted using the blood of one of the victims, Liberty German. BH's Connection: BH (Name Redacted), an Odinite from Logansport, is highlighted due to his son's previous relationship with one of the victims, Abigail Williams. Disturbing images on H's social media, some mimicking the crime scene, were discovered by a concerned citizen from Georgia. Despite these findings, the Unified Command, a group overseeing the investigation, quickly cleared H as a suspect. Failure to Pursue Odinist Links: The document criticizes law enforcement's decision to abandon the Odinism angle early in the investigation. This decision was reportedly based on an unidentified Purdue professor's opinion, which dismissed the possibility of Odinist involvement. Exculpatory Evidence Withheld: The memorandum alleges that the prosecution withheld crucial evidence, including a letter containing information that could prove the innocence of the accused, Richard Allen. This letter, sent by former Rushville Assistant Police Chief Todd Click, expressed concerns about the direction of the investigation and the evidence against Allen. Richard Allen's Innocence: The document strongly asserts that Richard Allen, the accused, has no connections to Odinism or any pagan cult. Furthermore, no forensic evidence, such as DNA or electronic data, links Allen to the crime scene. Odinists in Westville Correctional Facility: The memorandum suggests that members of the Odinist cult are employed as corrections officers at Westville Correctional Facility, where Richard Allen is allegedly being threatened and mentally abused. Quotes from the Document: "Overwhelming evidence in this case supports the following: Members of a pagan Norse religion, called Odinism, hijacked by white nationalists, ritualistically sacrificed Abigail Williams and Liberty German." "BH was never considered a suspect in the murders of Abby and Libby. State Trooper Jerry Holeman, one of the law enforcement officers in charge of organizing and investigating the Delphi murders, claimed in his August 10, 2023 deposition that Brad Holder was not really ever a suspect." "Richard Allen has zero connections to any pagan cult or pagan cultists, and furthermore no forensic evidence (such as DNA) or electronic evidence links Richard Allen to the girls or to the crime scene." Conclusion: The memorandum presents a compelling argument for the reevaluation of the evidence and the direction of the Delphi murder investigation. The potential involvement of Odinists and the subsequent dismissal of this angle by law enforcement raises serious questions about the integrity of the investigation. As the case continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how these new revelations will impact the pursuit of justice for Abigail Williams and Liberty German.

On February 13, 2017, Delphi, Indiana, was rocked by an unspeakable tragedy when two local teens, Liberty German, and Abigail Williams, were tragically lost, last seen hiking the Monon High Bridge Trail. Over the next five and a half years, the community was seemingly held hostage while lead after lead drew dead for investigators. A media frenzy ignited, while tabloid conjecture and internet sleuths further complicated matters, only serving to retraumatize the victim's families and their communities. However, in November of 2022, Richard Allen was arrested for the murders of Abigail and Liberty. He is currently housed at the Westville Correctional Facility. The memory of Liberty German and Abigail Williams continues to ignite the Delphi community's search for justice. Their lives, cut tragically short, serve as a painful reminder of the ongoing fight against such heinous crimes. Their case's mystery remains, but the determination to find the truth remains undiminished. While the tragedy of their passing will forever be a part of Delphi's history, the town chooses to remember Abby and Libby not for their untimely deaths but for the light they brought into the world during their brief time. After losing her sister, Kelsi German shifted her academic focus to psychology and criminal justice to help people like herself — the loved ones left behind after the murders.
