Episode Details

According to the defense's appellate filings, one suspect sat across from Delphi investigators four days after the murders and admitted to practicing pagan rituals involving bloodletting. He owned a .40 caliber firearm — the same caliber as the round found at the scene. They recorded his interview. The tape was erased. They never collected the gun. His employer offered surveillance footage to check his alibi. Officers declined and marked him cleared.

In 2018, this suspect allegedly created a painting of Odin hanging upside down — right leg tucked behind the left. That is how one of the victims was positioned at the crime scene. Tipsters repeatedly flagged him posting images on social media of dead girls with sticks over their bodies. An ISP Trooper found "concerning similarity" to the murders and pushed for further investigation. His superiors shut it down.

His associate — a self-described pagan religious leader who reportedly knew the murder woods "very well" — had his interview go unrecorded entirely. His alibi wasn't checked for six years. Neither man has ever been charged. The jury that convicted Richard Allen heard none of it. The trial court excluded it as third-party suspect evidence.

Then there's the warrant. Detective Liggett's probable cause affidavit allegedly described witnesses saying things they didn't say and left out the details that would have broken the connection to Allen. Betsy Blair described a young man in his twenties with poofy brown hair. Allen was 44 with a crew cut. The defense says Liggett kept her jacket description and cut the rest. Blair reportedly told investigators these were two different men. Allen reportedly said he didn't know what he was wearing. The affidavit allegedly said he admitted to a blue Carhartt. Without this warrant — no search, no gun, no bullet match, no arrest, no confessions.

The defense argues the entire case was built on a document the witnesses wouldn't recognize and a jury that was denied the full picture. An appellate court will decide.
