Richard Allen Interrogated: The First Time the Public Sees Him Speak PART 1
Richard Allen Interrogated: The First Time the Public Sees Him Speak PART 1 You Got One Piece of Evidence I Can’t Explain The public is finally hearing the voice of Richard Allen—the man convicted of murdering Abby Williams and Libby German—for the first time, and what he says is as chilling as it is revealing. Newly released videos from YouTuber Tom Webster expose a window into Allen’s world just before and just after his arrest. What starts as firm denial slowly spirals into something a whole lot darker. Allen, sentenced to 130 years in December for the 2017 murders of 13-year-old Abby and 14-year-old Libby, managed to fly under the radar for over five years. Then, on October 26, 2022, he was arrested. But two weeks before that, on October 13, investigators brought him in for questioning. And that interrogation, which is now public, begins with Allen trying to stay cool under pressure. He admits he was on the Monon High Bridge the same day the girls vanished. Not a great start. But when pushed further, he flat-out denies any involvement. The cops didn’t hold back either. At one point, Carroll County Prosecutor’s Office Investigator Steve Mullin throws out a brutal accusation: Either Allen did this to the girls himself, or he helped someone else do it. That’s when Allen pushes back. Hard. “Good luck finding anything that points in that direction,” he says. “You’re not going to make me believe it’s me.” In hindsight, it’s a strange thing to say. He doesn’t say “I didn’t do it” with confidence. Instead, it’s “you’re not going to make me believe it’s me.” Like he’s arguing with his own reflection. By the time we get to the second video—recorded the day of his arrest—the tone changes. Investigators have an unspent bullet found at the crime scene, and it matches a gun owned by Allen. He’s still in denial, but now, it sounds desperate. “There is no way that evidence is going to show that I did this,” Allen insists. But the police aren’t backing down either. ISP Investigator Jerry Holeman is blunt: “It’s right f---ing here, Rick.” Allen's response? “You got one piece of evidence I can’t explain.” And Holeman hits back with: “I got multiple pieces. Multiple. I’m not showing you my whole f---ing hand here.” It’s a poker game with two people holding very different cards. And it becomes clear Allen knows he's losing. Then come the prison phone calls. Eight of them, between November 2022 and June 2023, shared publicly for the first time. In those calls, Allen talks to his wife and his mother, and that’s where things start unraveling. These aren’t emotional breakdowns or cryptic metaphors—these are confessions. Clear, damning, and hard to walk back. They were played during the trial, but the public never got to hear them until now. Still, Allen’s legal team claims those confessions weren’t given voluntarily. Maybe it was the stress, the isolation, the realization that there’s no way out. Maybe it was all three. But that’s the story they’re sticking to. In March, Allen’s attorneys filed a notice of appeal. They’re trying to undo what the jury decided—that Allen is the man who took two young girls' lives on a cold February day in Delphi. But with videos of him talking before the arrest, and recordings of him admitting guilt afterward, it’s going to be a tough mountain to climb. #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #TrueCrimePodcast #AbbyAndLibby Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Breaking Down The Highly Unprofessional & Cruel Delphi Police Interrogation Of Richard Allen With Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott
Breaking Down The Highly Unprofessional & Cruel Delphi Police Interrogation Of Richard Allen With Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott What if the only thing tying someone to a murder scene is a single unspent bullet—and the supposed match is based on science that’s barely admissible in court? Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dig into the second interrogation of alleged Delphi killer Richard Allen, and it’s a rough watch. With no digital history, no witnesses, and no prior criminal record, the prosecution’s big move is a bullet found at the crime scene—but only after cops had already taken Allen’s gun. Makes you wonder which came first: the evidence or the need for a suspect? Allen stays shockingly consistent under pressure, even when investigators start dragging his wife and daughter into the emotional line of fire. From manipulated family confrontations to outright lies about expert witnesses, the whole thing feels more like a psychological beatdown than an actual interrogation. How do you defend yourself when the system already seems convinced you’re guilty? Is this justice—or just desperation? #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #TrueCrimePodcast #PoliceInterrogation #WrongfulConviction #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Breaking Down The Delphi Police Interrogation Of Richard Allen Part 3
Breaking Down The Delphi Police Interrogation Of Richard Allen Part 3 The interrogation practices employed in the Richard Allen case, a key element of the Delphi murders investigation, raise profound ethical and procedural questions that extend beyond the specifics of this investigation, potentially impacting the integrity of the criminal justice system as a whole. The reported use of deceptive tactics to initiate contact and questioning undermines the fundamental principles of transparency and trust between law enforcement and individuals. The ambiguous application of Miranda rights highlights the fragility of these crucial legal protections and the potential for them to be undermined during intense interrogation, impacting an individual's ability to make informed decisions about their legal rights. Furthermore, the alleged use of false evidence claims and threats underscores the inherent power imbalance within interrogation settings and the significant risk of eliciting unreliable statements under duress. The apparent presumption of guilt and the use of leading questions illustrate the inherent dangers of confirmation bias in investigative processes, potentially skewing the pursuit of truth in the Delphi investigation. Ultimately, a thorough examination of these interrogation methods is crucial not only for understanding the specifics of this case but also for safeguarding against wrongful convictions and ensuring that justice is administered fairly and equitably for all members of society involved in the Delphi murders and beyond.

Breaking Down The Delphi Police Interrogation Of Richard Allen Part 2
Breaking Down The Delphi Police Interrogation Of Richard Allen Part 2 A closer examination of the Richard Allen interrogations in the Delphi murder investigation reveals a potential divergence between standard legal procedures and the actual investigation practices employed by investigators. Despite the procedural requirements for transparency and informed consent, the initiation of both interviews allegedly involved elements of deception, potentially blurring the lines of Allen's voluntary participation and his understanding of his situation as a potential suspect. While the articulation of Miranda rights is legally mandated, its consistent and unambiguous delivery during critical questioning appears questionable, potentially compromising Allen's awareness of his fundamental legal protections. Moreover, the investigative techniques seemingly leaned heavily on psychological manipulation, utilizing inflated claims about evidence and the emotional weight of severe penalties to influence Allen's responses. This approach contrasts sharply with the ideal of objective inquiry, as the interrogation appeared to be colored by a pre-existing assumption of guilt, shaping the line of questioning and the interpretation of his statements regarding the Delphi crime scene. The repeated use of leading questions and hypothetical scenarios further suggests an attempt to construct a confession rather than elicit freely given information relevant to the Delphi murders. These alleged discrepancies raise significant concerns about the trustworthiness of the evidence gathered and the safeguarding of Allen's due process rights within the criminal justice system.

Breaking Down The Delphi Police Interrogation Of Richard Allen Part 1
Breaking Down The Delphi Police Interrogation Of Richard Allen Part 1 The Richard Allen interrogation in the Delphi murders case raises significant procedural and ethical concerns regarding the investigative tactics employed. Allegedly, deceptive pretenses were used to initiate both the October 13th and 26th interviews, and the clarity surrounding Allen's custodial status and the consistent communication of his Miranda rights during critical questioning remains ambiguous. Furthermore, detectives reportedly utilized coercive psychological techniques, including exaggerating the strength of video evidence and employing both threats of severe punishment, such as the death penalty, and subtle promises. This environment of pressure seemingly coincided with investigators operating under a presumption of guilt, as evidenced by accusatory language and the dismissal of his repeated denials. The active use of leading questions and hypothetical scenarios further suggests an attempt to guide Allen toward a specific narrative rather than objectively seeking information about the Delphi investigation. These alleged tactics collectively raise serious ethical questions about the fairness of the interrogation process, the heightened risk of a false confession, and potential infringements on Allen's fundamental due process rights, carrying significant implications for the pursuit of justice in this tragic case.

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?
