Delphi Defense Breakdown: How the System Failed Richard Allen (Again)

Delphi Defense Breakdown: How the System Failed Richard Allen (Again)

In this first segment of Hidden Killers Live, we dig into the shocking breakdown of Richard Allen’s appeal process in the Delphi murders case. With defense attorney and Defense Diaries host Bob Motta joining the panel, we unpack the bureaucratic chaos surrounding missing exhibits tied to the now-infamous 136-page Franks memo—a document that accused law enforcement of misleading the court to obtain a search warrant.

Why does this matter? Because those exhibits, including documents that point toward alternate suspects, weren't formally entered into evidence—meaning they’ve been omitted from the official trial transcript. The appellate court now has a certified record that’s incomplete, and Richard Allen’s legal team has been forced to file a motion to compel the transmission of those exhibits just to keep the appeal alive.

Bob explains how different jurisdictions handle this kind of mess, what’s at stake, and how this may set precedent for how other wrongful conviction appeals are sabotaged through procedural technicalities. We also discuss the very real possibility that Richard Allen’s appeal could fail—not because of the merits, but because of broken systems, missing paperwork, and a Kafkaesque legal process that seems more interested in protecting itself than in seeking justice.

This isn’t just another paperwork delay. It’s potentially the death knell for a man already sentenced to die in prison—and it raises serious questions about transparency, accountability, and whether justice can survive in a system this broken.

Withheld Evidence & Justice Denied | The Delphi Murders Case Takes a Dark Turn

Withheld Evidence & Justice Denied | The Delphi Murders Case Takes a Dark Turn

Withheld Evidence & Justice Denied | The Delphi Murders Case Takes a Dark Turn Was justice actually served, or are we witnessing another case where the system seems to have its mind made up—facts be damned? Richard Allen is staring down 130 years in prison, but with his confession riddled with bizarre, impossible claims (like admitting to killing a grandchild that doesn’t exist), it's fair to ask—was this a real confession, or just the broken ramblings of a man driven to the edge? And why were other potential suspects seemingly ignored despite overwhelming evidence? Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to dissect how the justice system sometimes prioritizes narrative over truth. When prosecutors refuse to budge even in the face of new revelations, is it about protecting their egos—or something far more sinister? #TrueCrime #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #JusticeSystem #Psychology #WrongfulConvictions #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Richard Allen’s Lawyers Demand New Delphi Trial Over Alleged Hidden Evidence

Richard Allen’s Lawyers Demand New Delphi Trial Over Alleged Hidden Evidence

Is there a point where incompetence becomes indistinguishable from something more sinister? That’s the question swirling around the prosecution of Richard Allen, as scrutiny intensifies on prosecutor Nick McClellan. Is he just bad at his job, or is something more calculated at play? Either way, the stakes for Allen remain the same. Tony Brueski and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis dive into the tangled mess of legal blunders, alleged misconduct, and the frustrating reality that the people responsible for investigating failures in a case… are often the same ones responsible for them in the first place. From questionable evidence handling to the seemingly endless legal merry-go-round that keeps leading back to the same judge, the road to justice in this case is anything but straight. Could a fresh set of eyes change the course of this case, or are we all just watching a judicial Wizard of Oz remake that nobody asked for? #RichardAllen #DelphiMurders #TrueCrimePodcast #LegalBlunders #JudicialSystem #CrimeAndJustice #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Full Delphi Bridge Guy Video Shows NOTHING Suspicious, Prosecution Edited It For Effect Was the public misled about the Delphi case? The infamous "Down the Hill" clip has been held up as key evidence, but what if the full version tells a different story? Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer break down the newly revealed footage, questioning whether it truly implicates Richard Allen—or if it's been manipulated to fit a narrative. Why was the full clip kept under wraps for so long? Were the words spoken by the mysterious "Bridge Guy" misrepresented in court?

The Psychology of a Cover-Up Did Prosecutors Deliberately Ignore Exculpatory Evidence? What happens when tunnel vision and cognitive bias take over an investigation? The Richard Allen case might just be the ultimate cautionary tale. Accusations are flying—prosecutors allegedly withholding key evidence, a defense team calling out absurd legal blunders, and a video that was supposedly the smoking gun but turns out to be... underwhelming. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins to dissect the psychological and investigative failures that have turned this case into a masterclass in what not to do. Is this incompetence, small-town politics, or something more sinister at play? And seriously—why did it take so long for them to release a 48-second clip? #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #RichardAllenCase #DelphiMurders #LegalBlunders #FBIAnalysis #CrimeInvestigation Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Delphi Case Twist: Did Prosecutors “Willfully Ignore” Evidence That Could Clear Richard Allen?

Delphi Case Twist: Did Prosecutors “Willfully Ignore” Evidence That Could Clear Richard Allen?

What happens when investigators get so locked into a theory that they ignore everything else? The case against Richard Allen in the Delphi murders might be the perfect example of investigative tunnel vision gone horribly wrong. His defense claims key evidence that could point to other suspects was withheld—intentionally or otherwise. Is this incompetence, a small-town prosecutor playing by his own rules, or something more insidious? FBI behavioral expert Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to break down the psychology behind bias in investigations, the power of external pressures, and the red flags surrounding the prosecution’s handling of this case. With crucial evidence conveniently “misplaced” and shifting stories from those in charge, it’s hard not to wonder: Is this just a case of bad policing, or has justice been deliberately derailed? And what about the newly released full-length bridge guy video? Does it actually reveal anything new, or is it just more smoke and mirrors? If the suspect was a complete stranger, why did the victims seem to comply instead of running? Could they have recognized their killer? With so many pieces missing, one question lingers: If Richard Allen isn’t the guy, why does the prosecution seem so afraid of looking anywhere else? #TrueCrime #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #HiddenKillers #CriminalInvestigation #BehavioralAnalysis #JusticeOrInjustice Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Was Kegan Kline the key to solving the Delphi Murders all along?

Was Kegan Kline the key to solving the Delphi Murders all along?

For years, investigators focused on finding the person responsible for the brutal 2017 murders of Abby Williams and Liberty German. But one fact has always stood out—Liberty was actively talking to a fake online account, “anthony_shots”, in the hours before she disappeared. And that account? It was operated by Kegan Kline, a convicted child predator. Despite the clear digital evidence linking Kline to Liberty, law enforcement waited three years before even questioning him about the murders. When they finally did, Kline lied, deflected, and gave excuse after excuse—yet no charges were ever brought against him. Instead, in 2022, police suddenly searched the Wabash River near Kline’s home, only to go silent about what they found. A month later, they arrested Richard Allen, a man with no known digital connection to Liberty or Abby. So why did law enforcement ignore Kline? Why wasn’t he the focus from the very start? And did they rush to convict the wrong man? In this episode, we break down the police failures, the missing evidence, and the disturbing unanswered questions that still surround Kegan Kline and the Delphi Murders.

Breaking Down The Full Delphi Bridge Guy Video With Defense Attorney Bob Motta

Breaking Down The Full Delphi Bridge Guy Video With Defense Attorney Bob Motta

Could the entire foundation of the Delphi case against Richard Allen be built on a misleading six-second clip? For years, we've been told the "Bridge Guy" ominously commanded Abby and Libby to go "down the hill." But now, with the full video finally released, the narrative starts to crack—because that’s not what happened at all. In reality, the girls were the first to mention going down the hill, and the so-called Bridge Guy simply echoed the suggestion in passing. He wasn’t looming over them, and he wasn’t leading them anywhere. In fact, he was a good distance behind, looking more like a random guy out for a walk than a predator in pursuit. So how did this six-second, heavily-edited clip turn into the backbone of a murder case? Tony Brueski and Defense Attorney Bob Motta break down the newly revealed video, question the chain of evidence, and discuss the mysterious photo of Abby alone on the bridge—an image that wasn’t even found in the Snapchat cache of Libby’s phone. If that photo didn’t come from her phone, where did it come from? And more importantly—who took it? #DelphiMurders #RichardAllenCase #TrueCrime #BridgeGuy #HiddenKillers #CrimeInvestigation #UnansweredQuestions Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Shocking Delphi Court Filing: Was Evidence Withheld to Secure Richard Allen’s Conviction?

Shocking Delphi Court Filing: Was Evidence Withheld to Secure Richard Allen’s Conviction?

What happens when a prosecutor decides they’re the ultimate judge and jury on what evidence actually matters? In the latest twist of the Richard Allen Delphi case, the defense has dropped a legal bombshell, accusing prosecutors of sitting on potential game-changing exculpatory evidence—letters that allegedly suggest someone else may have confessed. If true, this isn’t just a minor oversight; it’s a move that could unravel the entire conviction. Tony Brueski and former prosecutor Eric Faddis dive into the murky waters of prosecutorial misconduct, questioning whether this was a case of incompetence, arrogance, or something far more sinister. From alleged Brady violations to mysteriously missing evidence, the conversation explores the unsettling pattern of behavior surrounding this case. If prosecutors can decide what evidence is worth sharing, what does that mean for justice itself? #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #TrueCrime #LegalDrama #BradyViolation #HiddenKillers #JusticeMatters Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
