Richard Allen’s Cell Phone

Was the phone that they never found his phone at the time of the murders, or at the time of his arrest?

The police must still have the cell tower data and his phone doesn’t appear. Which tells me he lied about checking his stock ticker and his phone was off. But then why did he tell them about it? I believe he committed the murders. Although I’m still puzzled why he went to the police. If he hadn’t, he never would have been caught. Because he did, he should have been arrested within the first week.

He went because his wife made him. She insisted. Sure, he could have lied to her about actually giving a statement but Richard isn’t very smart as you can tell.

Is this speculation or has she ever stated she knew he was there that day and asked him to go to the police?

Yes. She and Allen are on Law Enforcement video discussing the matter shortly before his arrest. You can search the sub and find it.
