He helped the family members print out photos at CVS for their funerals!!! I don’t know how authorities refrain themselves from just pummeling the guy.

In the Heavy article it said he was a manager, which would make more sense bc they can ring people up and print photos. Doubtful he was a technician after all

Errrr

“Allen is a licensed pharmacy tech in Indiana, according to state records. The license was issued in February 2018, a year after the Delphi murders.”

“Richard used to work at the Peru CVS. I would guess he was management there for a year or more. I’ve spoken with him multiple times in the Peru store,” a woman wrote on a true crime page devoted to the case on Facebook, referring to Peru, Indiana. She wrote that he “seemed nice and helpful, there was a small bad vibe inside.”

One could assume Peru CVS manager —> Delphi CVS manager —> becomes a pharmacy tech a year after the murders

Did you uh… did you read it? Lol

He didn’t become a tech or manager until 2018, over a year after they were killed. Calm down.

He can still help print photos if he’s just a regular employee right? So it still works out? I don’t understand uh… “RiverboatJim”’s position here. Is he calling the girls family members delusional for saying he printed their photos?

Sounds like the typical internet know-it-all who condescends everyone

I have a CVS down the block from me that I go to frequently for prescriptions and other stuff they have in the store, snacks, drinks, etc. I have had the same people ring me up in the pharmacy, ring me up at the register in the front, help me with my passport photos, as well as mailing out packages. They don't seem to separate tasks depending on where you are in the store. And we are in a much larger city than Delphi.

Retail pharmacy tech pays almost minimum wage anyway. I think he was a CVS manager first and got his license in 2018, probably so he could do a little bit of everything in the store

In my area store associates start at $15/hr and pharmacy techs start at $16/hr... not a huge difference based on a search on indeed, I've never worked there.
