Delphi’s Most Controversial Evidence — Unpacked by Bob Motta
Delphi’s Most Controversial Evidence — Unpacked by Bob Motta For years, the image of “bridge guy” has been the face of the Delphi murders — a grainy figure walking toward the victims, captured in the final moments of their lives. But how sure are we that bridge guy is the killer? And how certain is the state that he’s Richard Allen? In this discussion, Bob Motta and I break down the witness descriptions, none of which mention Allen’s most obvious physical trait — his short stature. We dig into the “unspent round” ballistic evidence, the missing chain of custody documentation, and the questionable science used to link it to Allen’s gun. From the audio claims (“gun racking” sounds) to the absence of physical proof tying bridge guy to the crime, this segment challenges the core evidence in the state’s case. If these points don’t hold up under appellate review, the implications for the Delphi conviction are huge. #DelphiMurders #BridgeGuy #RichardAllen #TrueCrime #Ballistics #UnspentRound #WitnessTestimony #JusticeSystem #AppealProcess #BobMotta Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Delphi’s Ritual Theory – Why the Jury Never Heard About Brad Holder
Delphi’s Ritual Theory – Why the Jury Never Heard About Brad Holder Among the most controversial elements of the Delphi case is the so-called “Odinism theory” — the claim that Abby and Libby’s murders had ritualistic elements tied to Norse pagan beliefs. The crime scene reportedly featured sticks arranged in rune-like patterns on the victims’ bodies. Brad Holder’s name surfaced in court filings from Richard Allen’s defense as one of several locals allegedly associated with Odinist imagery. His connection to the case is direct: his son dated one of the victims. Social media posts showed staged images eerily similar to the alleged crime scene arrangements, rune symbols on his hand, and a cryptic comment posted just days after the murders: “Your real ones don’t judge you… They help you move the body and never speak of it again.” Despite the disturbing parallels, the state dismissed the Odinism theory as speculative, and the judge barred any mention of it in front of the jury. Holder was never charged, and the jury deciding Allen’s fate never heard about the alleged ritual elements. In this episode, we examine the Odinism theory, Holder’s alleged connections, and why potentially exculpatory evidence was kept out of the courtroom — raising deeper questions about whether Allen’s trial was a fair search for truth or a curated story with key chapters missing. #DelphiMurders #BradHolder #Odinism #TrueCrime #JusticeForAbbyAndLibby #DelphiCase #WrongfulConviction #ColdCase #TrueCrimeCommunity #IndianaCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Coerced Confessions in Delphi: Bob Motta Weighs In
Coerced Confessions in Delphi: Bob Motta Weighs In Richard Allen’s so-called “confessions” in the Delphi murders weren’t made in a police interrogation room. They were made after months of extreme isolation, cut off from his wife, under conditions that defense attorney Bob Motta describes as “passive coercion.” In this segment, we explore the reality of those prison conditions — 23 hours a day in a cell, relentless verbal harassment, and the kind of mental strain that can push anyone toward a breaking point. We discuss how Allen’s mental state deteriorated to the point where he made bizarre, contradictory statements — including admitting to crimes that never happened. Motta explains why these conditions matter in the appeal process, how courts evaluate whether a confession is voluntary, and why isolation tactics are so dangerous in pretrial detention. This is a sobering look at how “protective custody” can blur into psychological punishment, and what that means for justice in a high-profile case like Delphi. #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #PrisonConditions #CoercedConfession #TrueCrime #MentalHealth #JusticeSystem #AppealProcess #HiddenKillers #BobMotta Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Delphi Murders: The Man Who Planned To Meet Abby & Libby On The Bridge
Delphi Murders: The Man Who Planned To Meet Abby & Libby On The Bridge Kegan Kline wasn’t a stranger to Liberty German. He was the man behind “Anthony_Shots,” a fake online persona crafted to lure underage girls. In the weeks before the murders, Kline used this persona to groom Libby — even arranging to meet her at the Monon High Bridge the day she was killed. Despite the disturbing overlap between his communications and the murders, police didn’t arrest Kline on child pornography charges until three years later. They insisted he wasn’t connected to the murders — but how does that square with the fact that he was in direct contact with one of the victims about being at the exact location of the crime? In this episode, we look at the Anthony_Shots account, the timeline of Kline’s interactions with Libby, and why this lead was seemingly sidelined once Richard Allen became the prime suspect. We explore whether Kline was the intended meeting, an accessory, or simply the bait — and why the jury never got to consider his potential role. #DelphiMurders #KeganKline #AnthonyShots #TrueCrime #JusticeForAbbyAndLibby #DelphiCase #WrongfulConviction #ColdCase #TrueCrimeCommunity #IndianaCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Next Chapter in Delphi Appeal Deadlines, Errors & What’s Coming
The Next Chapter in Delphi Appeal Deadlines, Errors & What’s Coming The Delphi murders shocked the nation, but the story is far from over. Richard Allen may have been convicted of killing Liberty German and Abby Williams, but his legal fight is only beginning. In this exclusive interview, defense attorney and Defense Diaries host Bob Motta takes us inside the appeal process — the deadlines, the legal filings, and the strategy his team believes could turn this case on its head. We cover what a “motion to correct errors” really means, why “harmless error” is the state’s favorite shield, and how appellate lawyers decide which trial mistakes are worth fighting over. This is the inside look at the post-conviction legal battlefield that most true crime coverage ignores — the part that happens after the cameras leave the courtroom. If you think a conviction means the case is closed, think again. We dig into the possible grounds for appeal, from pretrial rulings to evidentiary exclusions, and explore whether the court’s decisions denied Richard Allen a fair trial. Whether you believe he’s guilty or innocent, the stakes in this appeal couldn’t be higher — because if the verdict doesn’t hold up, the entire case could be back in play. #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #TrueCrime #JusticeSystem #BobMotta #AppealProcess #CourtCase #LegalStrategy #TrueCrimeCommunity #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

BIG BREAKDOWN - What You Need To Know About The Delphi Murder Cover-Up!
BIG BREAKDOWN - What You Need To Know About The Delphi Murder Cover-Up! The Delphi case is one of the most high-profile murder investigations of the last decade — but the deeper you look, the more the cracks show. In this episode, we cut through the noise and give you the essential facts about the alleged cover-up that’s left an innocent man, Richard Allen, in prison. We’ll walk you through the most glaring red flags: ignored leads pointing to other suspects, mishandled evidence that could have changed the trial, witness testimony that never made it to court, and the unexplained disappearance of key investigative files. We’ll also discuss why law enforcement and prosecutors might have had an interest in pushing Allen’s case forward despite these issues — from political optics to pressure from the public to “solve” the crime. If you’ve ever wondered how wrongful convictions happen in America, this is a textbook example. It’s not about one bad actor; it’s about an entire system that prioritizes convictions over truth. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why so many are demanding a re-investigation — and why justice for Abby and Libby may still be out of reach. #DelphiMurders #CoverUp #RichardAllen #TrueCrime #AbbyAndLibby #JusticeForAbbyAndLibby #IndianaCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #ColdCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Ron Logan Evidence the Jury Never Heard – Delphi Murder Shocker
The Ron Logan Evidence the Jury Never Heard – Delphi Murder Shocker When Abby Williams and Libby German’s bodies were found, it was on Ron Logan’s property. The FBI prepared an affidavit citing a fake alibi, phone data placing him near the crime scene, and a history of violence. Some locals even recognized his build and walk in the Bridge Guy footage. Yet none of this made it to the jury in Richard Allen’s trial. Logan’s name never came up, despite proximity to the crime scene, documented lies, and behavior that should have made him a prime suspect. Instead, the investigation moved away from him entirely, even after a full FBI raid. In this episode, we break down what was in the Ron Logan file, what the FBI saw, and why Delphi police may have chosen to turn away from one of the most obvious leads in the case. We explore whether this was investigative incompetence, small-town bias, or something more intentional — and what it means for the credibility of the case against Richard Allen. #DelphiMurders #RonLogan #RichardAllen #TrueCrime #JusticeForAbbyAndLibby #DelphiCase #WrongfulConviction #ColdCase #TrueCrimeCommunity #IndianaCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
