About this listen

 Injustice isn’t just a possibility—it’s a reality. Delphi Murders: Richard Allen & The Search For The Truth dives deep into the shocking failures of the investigation into the brutal murders of Abby Williams and Liberty German. Hosted by Tony Brueski, this podcast unpacks the glaring inconsistencies, the ignored evidence, and the disturbing judicial process that led to the conviction of a man who may very well be innocent.

Why did investigators shift focus away from Ron Logan, the man whose property was the crime scene? Why was Richard Allen, with no direct physical evidence linking him to the crime, put on trial in what many are calling a sham? And how did law enforcement and prosecutors seemingly manipulate the narrative to fit a conclusion they needed rather than the truth?

We explore every angle, every lead that was dismissed, and every questionable move made by those in charge. Featuring exclusive interviews, expert analysis, and in-depth reporting, Delphi Murders: Richard Allen & The Search For The Truth is dedicated to uncovering what really happened—and holding those responsible accountable.

    Big Breakdown: The Failures Of The Delphi Murder Investigation
    Description:
    In this episode, we dissect one of the most troubling investigative missteps in recent American true crime: the Delphi, Indiana murders of Abby Williams and Liberty German in February 2017. We’ll start by walking through the facts—the teenagers disappeared while hiking the Monon High Bridge Trail, and despite early video and audio evidence (famously, the “Bridge Guy” recording), the case remained unsolved for five years . We’ll dive into the allegations of mishandled evidence: from misfiled reports to photographs never taken at the crime scene, all culminating in a flawed forensic timeline that veered investigators off course .

    The episode explores how a lack of prosecutorial transparency—highlighted by the late release of the arrest affidavit in October 2022—shrouded the process in secrecy . We’ll analyze the arrest of Richard Allen in 2022, uncovering why his detention raised eyebrows—he reportedly told law enforcement of being on the bridge in 2017, matched the clothing in the video, and had a bullet casing traced to his gun . But the defense pushed back, pointing out selective pursuit of suspects, suppression of alternative leads, and inconsistent ballistics analysis .

    Finally, we consider whether justice served is true justice—or merely the product of a case rushed to completion. With minimal direct evidence and lingering unanswered questions, this episode asks: have investigators delivered closure, or simply a convenient conclusion?

  • Big Breakdown: The Delphi Murders And The Wrongful Conviction Of Richard Allen

    Big Breakdown: The Delphi Murders And The Wrongful Conviction Of Richard Allen

    Big Breakdown: The Delphi Murders And The Wrongful Conviction Of Richard Allen
    In this eye-opening episode of Hidden Killers, we take you inside the interrogation room where Richard Allen—the man now at the center of the Delphi murders case—was questioned by investigators. Joining us are two of the top minds in behavioral science: retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke and forensic psychotherapist Shavaun Scott. Together, we dissect the interrogation footage that has sparked serious questions about the strength of the case—and whether the real killer is still out there.
    From the moment Allen sits down, the tension is palpable—but not in the way you might expect from a guilty man. Robin Dreeke unpacks Allen’s verbal patterns, stress indicators, and behavior under pressure. Is this the posture of a man hiding a heinous crime… or someone completely out of his depth, terrified, and confused by the weight of what he’s being accused of?

    Shavaun Scott brings her lens of clinical experience to Allen’s emotional presentation and mental state. As the conversation unfolds, Allen appears increasingly distressed—making unusual religious statements, referencing his declining mental health, and wavering between confusion and fear. Could this be the unraveling of a guilty conscience, or the mental collapse of an innocent man trapped in a nightmare?

    Together, Dreeke and Scott explore:

    • The lack of forensic evidence tying Allen to the crime scene

    • Whether Allen’s demeanor matches that of a deceptive subject—or a psychologically overwhelmed civilian

    • Red flags in how the interrogation was conducted, and whether coercion or suggestibility could have played a role

    • The possibility that investigators zeroed in on the wrong man under immense public pressure

    If you’ve watched the Richard Allen tapes and walked away unsettled—this episode will help you understand why. This isn’t just about guilt or innocence. It’s about how easily the justice system can make a mistake, and how we spot it before it’s too late.

    'I've Never Seen Anything Like This, Richard Allen Is Innocent' Ret FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief On Delphi Murder 'Confessions'
    In what may be the most powerful statement yet in the Delphi murders case, retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to declare: “Richard Allen is innocent.” With exclusive insight and expert analysis, Dreeke examines the deeply troubling jailhouse “confessions” made by Allen — confessions riddled with confusion, contradictions, and clear signs of psychotic break and mental collapse.
    This episode pulls no punches. Dreeke dismantles the prosecution's reliance on Allen’s recorded calls, exploring how extreme isolation, overmedication, and psychological pressure can lead to false confessions. He explains why Allen’s statements — including claims he killed people who never existed — should never be considered credible evidence in any trial. As the public scrambles to understand what’s happening behind closed doors in Delphi, Dreeke brings clarity from decades of experience inside the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Program.

    If you’re following the Delphi case, researching Richard Allen, or questioning the criminal justice system’s treatment of the mentally ill, this is essential listening. Uncover the truth behind the viral headlines — and find out why one of the FBI’s top minds says we may be witnessing a tragic miscarriage of justice in real time.
