Delphi: Officers Were Offered the Surveillance Tape to Verify the Alibi — They Declined

Imagine an officer investigating a suspect in a double child homicide is invited to review surveillance footage that would prove whether the suspect was at work or not. Now imagine the officer declines. According to the defense's appellate filings in the Richard Allen case, that is what happened with one of the most documented alternative suspects in the Delphi murders investigation. This man admitted to pagan rituals involving bloodletting, owned a .40 caliber weapon matching the round found at the crime scene, and had a direct connection to victim Abby Williams. His interview was recorded and then erased. The weapon stayed in his home. Tipsters repeatedly identified him, citing social media posts that, according to the defense, depicted dead girls with sticks over their bodies. An ISP Trooper flagged it and pushed for action. His superiors declined. The suspect's associate told officers he knew the murder woods "very well" and led a local pagan group. That interview wasn't even recorded. His alibi went unchecked for six years. Neither man has ever been charged. The jury never learned they existed. According to the defense filings, the first suspect told his wife his associate had killed Abby "with others." That statement is in the court record. The judge excluded it. This episode documents the alternative suspects, the alibis that fell apart, and the investigative choices that let them walk while Richard Allen was convicted.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
