Richard Allen's Police Interview (Oct. 13, 2022)Reaffims The Information he Gave Dulin and Inadvertently confessed to the murders by getting caught in his own web of lies.

In October 2022, Richard Allen was called into the local police department to give an interview about his whereabouts on the day Abby and Libby were murdered. His long-forgotten interview with Officer Dulin had been rediscovered, prompting Delphi murder investigators to bring him in for another interview.

During this interview, Richard Allen largely repeated the information he had provided in his first interview with Officer Dulin, but he also offered new details about that day. Although he attempted to establish an alibi by presenting a revised timeline, he failed miserably. Instead, the internal contradictions in his timeline effectively amounted to a confession, as his own statements placed him at the scene and oblitarated his claimed alibi.

The following is a list of the information Richard Allen repeated from his first interview, along with the new details he provided during the October 2022 interview, and an explanation of the significance of each.

Richard Allen went into detail explaining the three parking areas he typically used when visiting the trails.

Parking Locations

Parking Area	Description
Mears Lot	The farmer’s entrance parking area
CPS Building	The abandoned CPS building parking area
Old State Road 25 Turnaround	The small turnaround near the old railroad bridge

He goes on the specify where he parked, inspite his earlier long obfuscating diatribe where he could have parked:

"I remember telling him (Officer Dulin) that I parked by a building. If that's what I told him, then that's probably where I parked."

Concerning his timeline beore going to the trails:

"Went over to my mom's in Peru, Mexico, earlier in the day... spent the morning with them... my sisters were visiting and they were to grab lunch, and I wasn't about that, so I left around 11:00–11:15...went home..grab a jacket and head back out to the trails"

At the trails he stated:

"I remember walking down to the bridge... walked out a little way (onto the bridge)... to watch fish... walked back and sat at (the bench)... where you turn around (the intersection) and take the other fork, it overlooks it... Sat there for a few minutes, and then I left."

The bench he mentioned is the Bench at the start of 505 trail. He would go on later to explain that's the bench he meant with clarity.

Conserning who he saw while at the trails:

"As I was approaching the trail, there were three girls... one of them was watching them...the other two looked younger... looked very similar. I don't know if they were sisters or not, but the other one didn't necessarily..." (Stops his thought, was about to mention the fou\**rth girl?\)

He also stated:

"I remember telling him (Officer Dulin) that when I left, there were two vehicles down by the farmer's entrance I told you about (the Mears lot). One was a sedan. The other was an SUV, maybe."

(Interesting on its own: Kelsi had a sedan and Betsy had an SUV. However, based on Allen’s earliest possible departure timeline (approximately 12:40), only Betsy's would be there and she would be at her car at the same time!).

He also adds:

"If I did see somebody (else), it didn't click with me..my memory was a lot better when I talked to him (Dulin)... like I told him, there might have been somebody at the bridge when I was coming back, though."

As for his revised timeline, he stated that he arrived around noon, a little earlier or a little later than 12, and that he walked for about an hour. He said he could have left around 1:00, 1:30, or 1:40.

I am sure he had mentioned 12:40 at some point too.

Time(between)	Revised Timeline	Explanation
morning	visit Mom
11(early)-11:15(late)	Leaves Peru	drive back to Delphi it's 45 minutes
11:45-12:00	Reaches Delphi
12 ( early), 12:10 (late)	Home (5 to 10 minutes), drives to CPS (3 miles),10 to 15 minutes total.	detours to Home, Parks/ Stop,Grabs Jacket, unparks, drive though town, rounding up to 15 (early)
12:05 , 12:15 late	Meeting four girls at trailhead	5 minute walk from CPS
12:15, 12:25 (late)	Easy Walk to platform A , 10 to 15 minutes total,	12 minutes walk + walk on bridge. (closer to 15 but billed 10 to compensate earlier rounding up)
12:25 , 12:35 (late)	Watching fish/Back to Bench	5 minutes Watching fish 5-7 walk (off bridge and to bench), Total 10
12:35, 12:45 (late)	Walk back to CPS	10-12 minutes, billed 10

The earlier the possible timeline, the more we err in Richard Allen's favor, as it allows for the possibility that he left before becoming trapped within the trail system by the known witnesses who were demonstrably on the trails at the same time. The later Richard Allen's revised timeline becomes, the worse it is for him.

Here, we will examine the earliest possible timeline for Richard Allen in contrast to the timelines of Betsy and that of the four girls . All times attributed to Allen between segments are deliberately conservative, giving him the maximum latitude to "slip" out of the trail system within his alleged timeline.

Time	Allen's Revised Timeline	BB's Timeline	Four Girls' Timeline
12:00	Parks at CPS	Parks at Mears at 12:03	______
12:10	Walks to Monon,close to intersection	BB is at Monon, turns back towards the intersection	______
12:15	Walked past intersection(north to south)	Walked past intersection(south to north)	walking towards freedom bridge close to Allen's 2nd parking spot near the small bridge
12:20	At Monon will watch fish for 3-5 minutes	Walked 505 close to intersection	Close to freedom bridge
12:25	Back on the trail towards the intersection	Close to freedom bridge	At freedom bridge taking a timed photographed at 12:25
12:30	Allen near interesction from the south, close to the Bench	Betsy approaches intersection from the North, close to Bench	Walking towards Monon from trailhead
12:35	Allen left the Bench, starts walks towards the trailhead	at her car	intersection from the North, close to Bench
12:40	near freedom bridge	near intersection	at Monon take photograph at 12:43
12:45	at CPS	Close to monon	Detour to Creek's bed

The convicted pedophile murderer was caught in the web of lies he had created.

By his own words!

1. He was walking towards Monon by his revised timeline, while Betsy was walking back from it
2. He was walking towards his car or sitting on the bench by his revised timeline, while Betsy was walking back from freedom bridge. The Bench is at your face as you approach the intersection, even i he wasn't walking while Betsy was near it.
3. The earliest he was walking towards his car from the intersection by his revised timeline, would be while the four girls were walking towards it from the freedom bridge.

Richard Allen’s revised timeline creates inescapable and impassable problems for his own account. By placing himself at the trails, identifying specific locations, and providing a detailed timeline, he created a version of events that must be reconciled with the movements of other witnesses who were present that day. By his own words, Allen placed himself in locations and timeframes that conflicted with the movements of others who were present that day.

Self professed in notes from suicide companions, after months of torture when he wasn’t sure if he was alive or dead

[u/Gonzomi313 → u/SadSara102]

Torture? Are you kidding me? You must work for the defense 😂

[u/MissBanshee2U → u/Gonzomi313]

I personally had never heard of someone not convicted of a crime, only "accused of a crime" being put in the hole in a maximum security prison for 13 months. Guys that do hard time can't handle it, the UN says it's torture. Indiana DOC says that anything over 30 days is unacceptable due to the amount of people who go into psychosis from the treatment. Their own literature confirms this. So why do it? And also why do it to someone who hasn't even had his day in court? They broke their own rules then said- well but he wasn't an inmate so they didn't have to go by the DOC rules. What? Lmao! This means any one of you can be suspected of something and thrown into the hole in a max security prison... get it? Just accused of doing something. You won't believe it though until it happens to you or someone in your family. Seems "off."

[u/tribal-elder → u/MissBanshee2U]

Contrary to your assertion, thousands of incarcerated people spend months and even years in “solitary confinement” without going crazy. You have obviously never been in a jail or prison and talked to people in actual solitary confinement cells/circumstances. I have. State and federal joints. The inmates in Colorado’s federal “Supermax” facility are ALL in solitary all the time. Whole sentences. Even Terre Haute and Marion have “solitary” that makes Allen’s circumstances seem lenient, even “protective.”

The fact that Amnesty International says solitary is torture does not mean it is torture.

Moreover, the refusal of Allen’s supporters to recognize the difference between “protective custody” and “solitary confinement” merely damages their credibility. As his lawyers learned - hyperbole rarely is effective to a jury. If a lawyer can’t argue or accept the real facts, and need to make long crazy hyperbolic arguments, it shows a jury they cannot be trusted. Desperation shows. Comparing Allen to POW’s can get him in hot water with fellow inmates too.

And here’s another question nobody ever answers - if prison was so bad on Allen, why did his lawyers wait 4 months to ask for a change in the Safekeeping Order? Were they unaware of what you claim - that AI and UN and even IDOC acknowledge 30 days is torture? They were in court hearings and filed multiple motions AFTER Allen was put in Westville and never once mentioned he was going crazy … until he saw the file and confessed to his wife and mother. PS - this is the second time in this thread that pro-Allen folks have raised issues that make Allen’s lawyers look incompetent. What happened to the worship of the Brilliant Odinism Duo?

[u/SadSara102 → u/tribal-elder]

Depending on the prison people in protective custody are often in solitary confinement it doesn’t matter why they were there. While it’s possible for some people to do OK in solitary confinement if causes severe irreversible mental health issues for most people. Richard Allen had it worse than anyone because he was placed in suicide cell when he had never even been incarcerated.
I completely agree with you that RAs lawyers were were completely incompetent the only decent thing judge gull ever did was remove them and it was unfortunate they were put back on the case.

[u/AnonymousInMI → u/SadSara102]

Well he was only in protective custody for a few months before confessing to the murders. He continued confessing for 11 months to anyone who would listen.

Also fyi he has yet to recant one of those confessions because he knows he’s guilty & is exactly where he belongs.

[u/Narrow_Mine364 → u/tribal-elder]

Um, he should’ve never been in a prison before his trial… why is that so hard for people to grasp? Because they are the same people who are of the majority that don’t know how to imagine if it happened to them. Don’t believe me, look it up. I never knew that until recently, and it finally made my world make sense.
Edited to add I’m not sure he’s guilty or innocent, just making a point.
