Kids should be able to go outside and have little adventures, explore and just have fun. Because of this crime, parents are going to be even less likely (understandably) to let them do what kids have done for centuries. It's terrible, it's beyond words. So very sorry for the families of these two girls.
I agree. I wish kids could be able to just go outside and play. Allowed to be kids. Sad and troubling that there's evil like this man that makes it hard for parents to fully think it's safe and ok to play outside.
When I was her age my parents told me stick close to my friends because of safety in numbers, that was in the early 1970's. Nowadays it's not safe for kids to go anywhere without supervision because of all the sicko's out there.
@@changeintheair9648 The reality is crime has reduced considerably over the past few decades. Only difference now is we have instant access to everything that happens.
Yep. He’s all about power and control. He doesn’t have any now. His eating the legal document was him trying to gain an iota of control as is hunger strike. This man has a mental disorder but is not mentally ill in the least.
Even if he were, who cares! So what!? prob the majority of people incarcerated are mentally ill. No one cares if (real story) they are eaten alive by bugs. But bc his case is under focus the state gotta pretend like they take these things into consideration usually
She knew because RA confessed several times on the phone and she didn't hang up the first time RA told her..and, she Showed up at his court hearing and referred to him in court to a public person after his confession to her, as RA being her person..(strange)
I said the same thing a year ago and everybody blew up at me like I was a POS. I guarantee she knew, and I never have changed my mind. If anything I believe it more. Granted, she may have been in denial and convinced herself it wasn't him; but she knew in her heart of hearts. She had to.
Imagine the terror those two girls went through in their last moments. One of them would have seen the other killed and known it was about to happen to her too. Just horrific. I have no sympathy for this creature at all.
It’s crazy how in 2017 he’s mentioned in the paperwork but never further an investigation on him until they check again and discover he’s a suspect. That was a big mistake by the investigators!
Richard Allen actually admitted to being there at the same time that the girls were back when this first happened. The police chose not to look into because he was so forthcoming…which is nuts to me! That made him suspicious but not to them. Question everyone and look into it!
I thought the same thing. He's desperate and does not want to go to prison. If he hadn't been arrested, he'd still be living his life. Slobbering down the front of his shirt like a boob, losing weight, and whatever else he's doing is a desperate attempt at a robe and bunny slippers instead of a prison jumpsuit. People go to prison all the time and do not end up like this. Whatever happens, his goose is cooked.
Yeah, this case got me because I just couldn't believe that poor Libby had been able to get a video of their murderer, including his voice! and yet no arrest was made for so long. He went to the cops right away and told them he was on the trail, and what he was wearing that day, and it matched her video, and they knew he had a gun...so why DID it take so long? And his wife and daughter didn't recognize him on the video?
I’m from Kokomo, Indiana just East of Delphi. So many men in this area look and sound just like him…truly. The clothing..,pretty standard…blue or gray jacket or hoodie with jeans. The only thing that really stood out was the hat. Most guys, if they wear a hat, wear ball caps. He’s wearing a British racing cap. Not usual headwear.
I think she ended the conversation abruptly to keep him from further incriminating himself. She did it to protect him. I believe she knew from the beginning it was him. I bet she will be right there in the courtroom supporting him.
He claims he treated like a pow yet he has a tablet to contact the outside world. What prisoner of war has a tablet?!?! More importantly, what did he expect?? Some people are just ridiculous. RIP Abby and Libby 💕💕💕
All lies and the media did not say those things but the defense lawyers put out those lies! He willingly starved himself as his lawyers said he refused to eat! He has been suicidal as he knows his life is over and will be killed in prison for what he did the Sicko! 😡
I agree. I don't care if this psychopath broke his tablet and is not sleeping. We should not be worried about a child killer. He didn't worry about those two girls he killed. Also, I am tired of people saying everyone has "mental issues" when they commit horrible crimes. He knew exactly what he was doing. He is a manipulator and psychopath. He should receive the death penalty. I hope he suffers the worst possible time in prison.
To be fair. My grandfather was a WWII POW who also happened to be Jewish. His plane was shot down then he was captured. He survived until 91 🫶🏻 Now my point: we have his POW diary. Food labels, letters he was able to write home, etc. I’m not sure if he was treated better than some because he was military and not just a WWII European Jew or not. But some POW do in fact get to contact the outside world, by some means. And yes RIP beautiful girls 🤍
If my husband should confess to something like that, I would die. I would also drag everything out of him and sorry to say I will turn on him. My husband is my everything, but I could never accept something like that no matter how much I love him. Imagine finding out your loved one is such a monster!
I agree also sadly I would not protect my children. I don't trust our justice system so I would do everything I could to make sure they were represented by the best I could afford. Here, Allen did confess not under destress that he did it so that would alter my help if it was my husband or child.
Sadly, yes. Still, go out with your children. We brought bikes, or just enjoyed the walk. They didn't have to shadow me but did not roam too far ahead. What mattered is I was in shouting distance and people knew, I was watching them.👀😁
The family has very recently stated that his name is being said more often then the victims. AND it’s often referred to as the Delphi murder case and not the murders of Abby & Libby. They said they want those poor little girls names said MORE than the disgusting perpetrator. I totally agree. Don’t refer to it as the Delphi double murder case. Just call it plainly what it is,the murder of Abby& Libby.
Cmon now Don’t create more problems just to have more to talk about. It is what it is and this case is so popular because of the fact. Quit whining already lady
I'm surprised his wife didn't recognize the clothes he was wearing on the footage captured by one of the girls. So sad for the victims families, sending prayers and condolences to them.
I'm sure she knew it was him. How could she not? Imagine seeing your wife or husband on video, even for a few seconds, and not recognizing them. HIGHLY unlikely.
I think she saw the video and knew it was him and he said he was there. She just hoped that it wasn’t him that committed the murder, but I’m sure there were signs in his behavior that she picked up on and said nothing about.
Man I grew up exploring and being in nature. I usually seen the average stranger strolling but posed no harm. I can’t imagine it being the other way. RIP to these little girls ❤
Way to make it about yourself. Of course no one messed with you. Indiana is over 200 years old and this is the 1st time 2 kids were killed on a trail. That means its pretty freaking safe.
@@bradsanders407 How am I making it about myself? I grew up in Georgia, we used to play in trails, creeks and lakes. I’m saying I seen strangers but they never rushed me like these poor girls. It’s a nightmare come true.
Got a feeling RA's wife hung up during the confession convo because she was protecting him. She probably hung up so he couldnt say anymore as she knew their convo was being recorded and their convo could have been full of "huh?", "what?" for him to confess to her a few times in that convo. I believe his confessions, I dont think he confessed due to mental illness and I think any mental illness he may have (or may not if he is faking it as many do) is due to being caught and not from guilt. He lived his life just fine after he killed those poor, innocent girls. Im also sick of hearing "hes lost weight due to his poor mental health". No, hes lost weight because hes in prison, with awful food, no alcohol (he was supposdly an alcoholic), not much exercise and probably the stress of being caught.
So help me understand this.... the police were looking for this killer since 2017, had a VIDEO of him and couldn't find him - *AND HE WORKED AT THE CVS TWO BLOCKS FROM THEIR OFFICE?!!!* And you can't tell me his wife didn't recognize him in the video or his voice in the audio - come on man, she had to know!
He even admitted wearing those exact clothes and being there at the exact time of the murders, with multiple witnesses!! No clue why they didn't circle back to him several times. They wouldn't have been able to rule him out way early on. What a mess the police made of this one.
@@kweenz109 yep, I agree 100%! And that Doug Carter DPS guy is a complete weirdo. Did you see his press conferences? I don't think I've ever seen a more botched case in my entire life! And had the Sheriff not called off the search early the evening of the 13th, they probably would've found Abby alive because her body was still warm at noon on the 14th when they found them!
Mental health has nothing to do with all this. He lived well after he took the lives of those two beautiful, innocent girls and never showed remorse. He deserves the death penalty. Period.
Imagine being their parents and having no justice for 6 years, not even having any closure. I would be absolutely infuriated and heartbroken. I’m so happy they caught this guy
Six years. Well now seven is not that long actually. There were many murders that have never been solved. BTK was caught decades after his first murders.
And now they're being dragged through the torment of a trial. Hopefully he's about to plea after Fridays closed hearing, but I really hope one of the conditions is that we get some answers.
I'm still waiting for Defense to provide a single piece of evidence pointing to anyone besides Rick Allen. If they could, I'd perhaps change my tune. I just haven't heard it.
@@andrewmoore7927they knew he was local. They could have asked locals to volunteer DNA. It’s been done in the U.K. many times. Anyone that doesn’t comply or chooses not to should be investigated.
This was in a little hick town, I can't believe no one from his tiny town recognized him,his clothing or his stance. I find it really hard to believe his wife & kids didn't realize it was him in the video.
People did recognize him and gave his name..But he had already come forward and told the police he was there and how he was dressed...and he told them that he matched the description...But they investigated a tiny bit and said he wasn't the suspect...the police dropped the entire BALL here...They didn't investigate him ENOUGH! HOW DISGUSTING!!! I HOPE THE INVESTIGATORS ARE INVESTIGATED
If LE would have took a serious look at each man in that tiny town who walked with a strange unusual gait when he walked they would have caught h without RA coming back on their radar (supposedly)
@@CALIGIRL702 Thank for the reply. info......Yeah, it's possible the local police were like. "There's no way good old Rich could have done it. He's always been a pilar of this community." Type BS.
Cases in small towns are actually really hard to solve for this very reason. People can't correlate the fact that the murderer lives amongst them. These are the people they are comfortable with and familiar with, known all their lives. They conclude that the offender cannot possibly be one of their own. It _has_ to be an *outsider*. Its a cognitive dissonance of sorts, and the very reason why the Wife/Family didn't recognise him either. It's also why rule 101 of investigating is to clear the ground beneath your feet first before looking further afield.
Could he have done this before? This seems pretty horrific for a first timer. He’s also either incredibly lucky getting away with it for so long or he had some practice at hiding in plain sight. I remember when I first heard about this case and I so desperately wanted these girls to have some kind of justice. I sure hope they get it.
I agree completely. Does someone just prey in kids and murder them in this horrific for the first time at his age? He has to have done something before, just never got caught.
I hate it when killers, especially child killers, start complaining about the way they're getting treated in prison 😡 You murder someone, you don't get to stay in a five star hotel a zz hole
He's actually had preferential treatment in comparison to a normal detainee. If you think that they would allow anything to happen to this High Profile inmate prior to trial then you're out of your gourd.
This case proves what we all knew from the beginning, that the police dropped the ball and didnt do anything worth speaking about. Culprit was in front of them the entire time!
I disagree. I think they've been working on it the whole time. They can't tip their hand too soon. They knew for awhile I'm sure. They have to make sure t's are crossed & i's are dotted so the scumbag doesn't get off.
Wrong, it means detectives had to wait until they had enough solid evidence against him. Like matching DNA etc...before arresting him so the charges would stick in court and he wouldn't be able to beat the case. Cops can't arrest people just because they "feel" like the person is guilty. Even if they're pretty sure the person did it. They still need some type of proof/evidence before making the arrest.
He worked at CVS and no one in many years believed he was BG. It's not a far stretch to think his family didn't think he was BG. We don't have a lot of evidence and he could very well NOT be BG. He at 5'4 did not match the description of BG. People are acting like people with torches chasing after Frankenstein.
Don’t commit the crime if you can’t do the time. People have literally spent decades in 5x8 cell. Allegedly He had no problem doing the crime, and now karma is coming to collect and it’s a “ mental health issue “ I hope he has the absolute worst experience imaginable behind those walls.
What exactly does he think Abbey and Libby’s “mental health issues” were in their final moments? He wasn’t concerned about those two little girls, so why should anyone care about his issues now? Notice it’s all about him and not what he’s done.
@@AP12360 would you say that about a child who murdered another child? Look at the “Slender Man stabbings”. Two young girls who claimed they were sacrificing their friend, because “slender man told them to do it”. Twelve years old and, thankfully she survived, but had she died, should they have been put to death? And one of the girls who did it has been released already. How fair is that to the girl who was stabbed 19 times? Maybe her attackers should have been given a year for each blow!!
They were stabbed?!?!? My god. For some reason I was under the impression they had been shot. Stabbing is just so much more violent and personal. Those poor kids. I hate this world sometimes. I really do.
He did use a gun to scare them to going down the hill. The second location is where he stsbbed them. He did leave a bullet behind because he racked the gun. Most likely to get them to comply.
That doesn't make sense that he cracked the gun and left a bullet behind. They said the bullet was a casing I believe which is a spent round. And I think they said they matched the firing pin impression on the casing to his gun...am I missing something
I heard on some videos about this case that it was a cult that killed them, and he forced the girls down the hill. To where they were killed their bodies were found in weird positions to I say he was a part of some cult and they killed the girls as a sacrifice or something.
The wife absolutely knew he was the guy on that bridge and has probably aided and abided by him for many many years. I saw a video of Richard where he’s wearing that exact same blue jacket BG had on in the video Libby recorded. Justice is coming for those girls happy to see that my thoughts and prayers go out to the families of these two young innocent children who were brutally murdered.
A blue jacket is common fashion worn by men in rural Indiana. I have seen a number of "suspects" wearing BG clothes. We need to wait for the evidence. One problem is at only 5'4 Allen does not match the BG description.
Why doesnt the coverage of the Iowa cousins, Lizzy and Lyric get this much attention? I cannot understand. Two kids under 12 riding bikes at noon on a summer day- just vanish in a couple minutes and their bodies found 25 miles away... the the police cheif gets fired for being dangerous-- and there is NO coverage. So bizarre.
@@mistyjackson1745 he did not. but its someone just as similar. blends into the community. probably involved themselves in the investigation and I think the killer in Iowa knew the cousins according to the FBI profile.
As the commenter above says, because of the video/audio evidence makes it far more visceral and haunting. Ontop of that the Defense have now spun it into some ridiculous Satanic Panic Tabloid circus. I hope all girls recieve the justice they are owed.
The really sad part about humanity hearing about him confessing to his wife and mother is that THEY are the 2 people in the world that could have identified his voice, his walking, and his clothing on that day the girls were ordered down the hill to be killed. The wife and mother watching that little bit of video with him talking and walking would have known in their sole that that was their husband and son. Yet they kept quiet and didn't call the police.
They likely had no idea he would be accused of being BG. The voice has been matched to numerous suspects including the property owner. He hasn't even been brought to trial where the evidence would be brought forward for analysis. He is innocent until proven guilty, and the jury hasn't even been selected.
Denial is extremely powerful to the point of making people delusional in order for their minds to cope with info this horrifying , that being said there's also a chance they knowingly covered for him. If the latter is the case they need to be charged for obstruction of justice!
They have the right man and I've seen no evidence to suggest that anybody beside Richard Allen - by his own admission - is responsible. But it's very likely that no family member or neighbours would ha e recognised him. Everybody assumes it must be an 'outsider' who is responsible. Even if she did recognise certain aspects or traits then its another huge cognitive leap to correlate it with your husband of 20 years and pick up a phone. I dont blame her necessarily. Its understandable and I think once the truth finally sinks in for them they'll realise that they are victims of his betrayal and manipulation too. It's really quite sad.
I can’t imagine how his family felt when they realized a monster lived with them. While raising his child, he took two from other families. He looks creepy in every picture.
I found it so shocking when I went on my UA-cam channel after being away from news, entertainment, and everything for a week, to see that this sick monster confessed, and there’s much more coming out. I honestly can’t believe it. My gut said it was him. This is so horrible, especially for those young girls. RIP to both & strength to the families. All families, including Richard’s.
You not gonna call and confess to your mother if you didn’t do it. That’s ridiculous. Richard Allen has gotten caught and now he is losing it, surprise surprise 🤦🏻♀️
Allen is faking illness like the Golden State killer. Losing weight, eating paper - all pretty harmless, but it makes him look unstable. His eyes are evil. The eyes always give them away. How his wife did not know, goes beyond understanding especially since she knew he was there, returned muddy and bloody, owned knives and guns. I truly believe these were not his first murders. No first time killer takes on 2 victims. Only someone very experienced will on a casual walk and in a relaxed tone order 2 young women "Down the hill" before murdering them most brutally. They ought to investigate other murders in the area.
I agree, but I don't think he went back home covered in blood - that would be nuts - he would have to risk being seen or even pulled over in that condition - no way. He likely had a change of clothes and did everything in his power to hide it.
I disagree. The crime scene evidence looks to me like was inexperienced and definitely not a sophisticated killer. He lost control of the scene, left evidence, didn't dispose of bodies nor all the evidence/clothing afterwards. I think his hubris and limited opportunity alone was why he took on two victims. I think if a lone female fitting the same demographic had passed by he would have chosen her instead.
The more I look into this, the less guilty he appears. True, the police did nothing. They left behind the branches on top of the bodies which would've hand the dna and/or fingerprints of the killer. Something stinks in Delphi. Look up Grizzly True Crime's deep dive.
The wives of BTK, Ridgeway, Gacy and iceman didnt know anything while they all murdered for years. So I suppose you're saying the entire town also knew but said nothing even though the sketch was everywhere including his place of work?
Still not forget how incompetent the police were. They could have had this guy a lot sooner. He literally put himself at the crime scene during the time the murders happened, and was seen wearing bloody clothes. Five years to arrest him, ridiculous
So they knew there was a person in the bloody clothes from the beginning? And they knew his name as the bloody clothes person? I assumed they just figured all that out at the end before the arrest.
@isveryrill1234567 they knew he placed himself at the crime scene around the same time everyone seen the guy that killed the girls. But surprisingly he never seen the guy, which would have been impossible if he claimed to be there at that time because two groups of people seen the guy. Even placed himself on the bridge. They didn't know it was him walking in the bloody clothes but they did know there was somebody walking and bloody clothes they just didn't do a follow-up on him. If they would have followed up they would have had him a lot sooner and they would have basically come out with all this evidence they came out with recently but it would have only taken maybe a month or two. They apparently have his gun that he ejected an unspent round from. So that means they had a bullet and the guy's name from the beginning. Check the database for gun owners in the area and basically his name's going to come up again. There's so many times that his name should have come up. The police department messed up big-time and if there is any other girls are kids that have been killed since then, it's blood on their hands
So glad he's finally been caught. Things like this don't happen around here so when the community heard about it, it totally shook us all and those 2 haven't been far from our minds since. ❤
If someone else was involved he'd have named them to save himself. This is all him. There's no big conspiracy in this case, facts and evidence simply don't show that to be the case.
I don’t believe the girls messaging Kegan Kline and setting up a meeting and then they get killed at the meeting spot by some other stranger to be a realistic coincidence. There has to be at least one other person involved.
@@krazyk8592Real. 💯 Besides, in the recent pretrial hearings the Defense conceeded they had no evidence to place any of the alternative suspects that they had mentioned in the area on that day and no evidence connecting them to the crime scene. Ron Logan was also thoroughly investigated and cleared, And both Kleins were confirmed to be at home on the day. If anyone else is involved its the loose affiliation of other bad actors by way of shared CSAM source (hence details of investigation is still sealed, its an ongoing investigation), But no proof of anybody directly linked to one another or anybody else at the crime scene. ....And if that doesn't convince you, then if more than one person was involved, don't you think they would have done a better job? Hide the bodies? Dispose of the evidence? Not allow the girls to make a run for it? Actually carry out the SA? Nope, just the work of one man imo. Especially as he would have instantly rolled and got off with a kidnapping charge instead of double homicide if he offered up his accomplice. Esp in a death penalty state.
WHy does it have to be either an innocent man or a guilty man feeling guilt? If he did this its a guilty coward that cant face prison, the other inmates and loosing everything. It really winds me up when people think someone capable of this would have any guilt or conscience?? He feels sorry for himself!! And hes probably pulling a confess not confess like Chriss whats for his deluded family to feel sorry for him! AND LETS HOPE HE HASNT KILLED ANY MORE IN THE YEARS IT TOOK THE POILICE TO DO THERE VERY EASY JOB OF ARRESTING HIM
I agree, but why do you people need to compulsively bring up Chris Watts like every 30 seconds regardless of how irrelevant it is to the conversation? This fixation needs to end. It's getting weird.
The cops really messed up this case. The "secret" details was the hinderence in this arrest. If they released the details someone else would have identified this man a long time ago. Releasing only a few seconds of a 45 second video was an idiotic choice. The description of the car that witnesses saw. The 2 completely different suspect pictures.
No one has said this yet but I guarantee you that when his wife abruptly hung up on him it wasn’t due to pain or shock BUT to protect him because she knows the calls are recorded.Mark my words.
Well yes, because they play a recording every minute throughout the call to state "This call is being recorded". So the both of them were well aware. Yet despite that Rick Allen still opted to confess again and again. She indeed hung up and said she was going to call Baldwin as she realised he was incriminating himself.
It's not mentall insanity ... it's hyper anxiety. He did the same thing after he saw himself from the phone of one of the girls on the news ... he checked himself in a mental hospital ... because of hyper anxiety. Yes ... they knew the call was monitored and taped ... that's why RA's wife finally hung up ... not because she was mad but because she realized what was going to happen and was protecting him. She has been by his side through this whole thing. The reason it went as far as it did was because they got hyper emotional and needed to talk and wasn't thinking about anything else ... but lost in the moment. After that ... he got hyper anxiety and has not talked on the phone since. He even panicked to the point of eating paper. It's pretty crazy ... that he was so tough with all those guns and knives while commanding those little girls down the hill and now he is a weak mentality.
This devil is suffering failure to thrive and horrific nightmare flashbacks of his evil things he’s done. But defense is trying to blame the jail for the condition he’s in. Now the realization has come to him that he is caught. He’s in isolation probably with your face to live your demons because there’s no way too busy the mind on TV or etc
I know every piece of clothing my husband of 15 years has. I know his walk...I know his mannerisms. I am not believing that wife didn't know that was her husband. I will never believe it.
I hope they are able to get him to confess his other crimes that are still unsolved, any more missing children etc. it’s hard to fathom this would be his first time…
@@loralieisa They've had him confess 61 times- including details that only the killer would know. They've got their guy. That said I think this was his first homicide. He's probably committed other offences and criminal behaviours.
Hello, I've followed some of this investigation over the years! First the way the parents were treated by the police was disgusting! ( I saw other direct interviews with the sheriff and a couple other people that proved so!) The mothers were left in the dark along with the rest of the family! There is definitely something wrong with Richard Allen!! But nothing to stop him from being prosecuted for this heinous crime against these two little girls!!! Thank God Abbey had the presence of mind to video as much as she could!! May these two little angels rest in peace!! Peace 🕊️
The LE claimed this man was nearly a mile away from them when the man on the bridge was seen & the voice was immediately following him. Absolutely couldn’t be the killer as the time lapse was 9 seconds according to the original story released by the cops.
It's looking like he Will plead guilty and admit everything during trial. To confess several times on a known recorded line suggest he's done denying it. The question is will he get the death penalty or life imprison without the possibility of parole...
Probably prison for life. Indiana doesn't do death penalty that often. Also, if he pleaded guilty his lawyers will probably not let him speak either way
Lawyers have people showing up to court exactly how they want them to look. His “condition” is bullsh*t. His lawyers wouldn’t dare allow him to leave his cell looking disheveled, sloppy and ailing, if they didn’t want to perpetuate a certain image of him. Clothes all sloppy, ill fitting and stained. Body all folded up like he’s 100 years old. Listen, he was overweight and now he’s not. Big deal. His appearance is a ruse. He was fine for years, going about his business, no problems at all until he got caught. Now he’s mentally ill with all these infirmities. Gtfoh. Put a clean, proper fitting suit on that man and let him show up, stand up and face what he’s done.
Real. 💯 Manufactured an impression that poor frail vulnerable Rick couldn't possibly have taken on TWO sporty girls at once. It's strategy, entirely intentional.
No. His “mental state” is him realizing that he’d messed up when he confessed over the phone. He’s only not eating (other than his legal documents) and sleeping to make it look like he’s mentally unstable so as to make the confession unusable against him. He wasn’t acting that way until after the phone calls were made.
I couldn’t be more grateful to hear not only did law-enforcement find the individual he actually confessed. That gruesome double murder in Delphi of those young children has not only haunted that community in that state, but I would argue the country as a whole.
He hasn’t confessed. These are pieced together phone calls & not one has any confession in them, at all. It’s not detectives who pieced it together, it’s UA-camrs, and no truth to it.
One of the girls relatives (she goes by, or went by Miss F'ing Wonderful) on UA-cam showed text messages that one of the guys that discovered the bodies sent her. He said Libby appeared to be the target, stabbed a bunch of times, was naked and buried under sticks, limbs and leaves. Abby was "sitting against a tree like a little doll fully dressed". She was stabbed in the neck and heart, so it was quick. She showed all this in live videos on UA-cam a long time ago. This man needs to serve the rest of his life in gen pop and let him feel the fear these two babies felt - for the rest of his miserable life.
@@cookie_dough_hangover right!!! I can’t believe she showed those texts, I was literally sick when I saw them. I don’t feel sorry for his one bit!!! Those poor girls. OMG 😢🥹💔
This is where I have no issue if prison life is hard for him. What goes around comes around, and I hope that he suffers similar injustices to his body that he did on those poor girls. I hope he feels vulnerability, fear, pain, shame for as long as he lives.
This situation is tragic, and my heart goes out to the families and community. I'm just confused as to how the wife didn't recognize her husband's walk,clothes, etc. I'm sure everyone in that community watched coverage from day 1. I'm sure she's devastated as well.
If murdering little children turns him on,then he hasn't suffered from guilt at all, on the contraty hemight have .urdered many more. I wonder if his children knows how lucky they are to be alive...he must have had moments when he had to force himself not to touch them...
@@Candy-O1776 Because we have a conscious. I wonder if his wife and mom have talked to him since. It sounds like they were in denial and in shock when he confessed,
You can't tell me someone in that town didn't recognize him from the video! He even went to police and admitted to taking a walk on the bridge the same day the girls went missing!!!
Every murderer has their first victim though... they often think about it for years before acting on their urges. Then when an opportunity presents itself, they take it.
What amazes me about this case is that these children were dropped in the middle of nowhere, out of earshot or any kind of help and left for hours on their own. Totally incomprehensible to me.
Thank you for only showing the video of bridge guy with the audio not on loop. It’s a disturbing video and it makes me cringe to hear it on loop. I understand why the authorities released it in that manner, but it doesn’t have to continuously be replayed like that. Knowing that’s the last thing those girls recorded, and were in great fear for their lives at the time and probably shocked too, it’s still hard to watch & listen to. Kudos for your integrity.
Just the fact that Allen was the one in the video and knowing the children were missing and then eventually killed and Allen not going to police department to report he saw the girls is damning, all other evidence such as bullet casing found by bodies belonging to Allen and confession is just the nail in the coffin..
. He did and what happened, they say they mis filed the report . A local tells a conservation officer he was there at the same time the girls were and they want us to believe they just filed it away. come on !
We want people to come forward and this is what happens when they do. Jail is not supposed to be a bed of roses you're still supposed to be treated humane.
@@Mytube777 He talked to a conservation officer, or ranger-type guy. Obviously, there was no cross-checking by the agencies which was a mistake. He did not talk to the police.
His wife had to have recognized his voice!!! Also I bet she has washed those clothes a hundred times since the crime!! Being married for that long you would recognize your spouse easily!
Kids should be able to go outside and have little adventures, explore and just have fun. Because of this crime, parents are going to be even less likely (understandably) to let them do what kids have done for centuries. It's terrible, it's beyond words. So very sorry for the families of these two girls.
I agree. I wish kids could be able to just go outside and play. Allowed to be kids. Sad and troubling that there's evil like this man that makes it hard for parents to fully think it's safe and ok to play outside.
When I was her age my parents told me stick close to my friends because of safety in numbers, that was in the early 1970's. Nowadays it's not safe for kids to go anywhere without supervision because of all the sicko's out there.
I grew up in late 60's and 70's. We had so much fun exploring. We never worried that we were in danger. We had so much fun!
@@changeintheair9648same I was 13 in 1967... we had no worries like this, 4sure 😢💔
@@changeintheair9648 The reality is crime has reduced considerably over the past few decades. Only difference now is we have instant access to everything that happens.
IMO. He’s not mentally Ill he’s manipulative and fears accountability like any narcissistic psychopath
@@eremiasranwolf3513all the there and back again still wouldn’t be enough
Yep. He’s all about power and control. He doesn’t have any now. His eating the legal document was him trying to gain an iota of control as is hunger strike. This man has a mental disorder but is not mentally ill in the least.
@@eremiasranwolf3513torture him a little more for Abby and Libby please!
Even if he were, who cares! So what!? prob the majority of people incarcerated are mentally ill. No one cares if (real story) they are eaten alive by bugs. But bc his case is under focus the state gotta pretend like they take these things into consideration usually
Idk if he’s in solitary confinement- but that will drive you to insanity. He deserves it
There is no way the wife didnt recognize her husband in that video, how could she not? Its either a lie or shes in heavy denial
I said the same thing. She knew.
@@birgitraya4909 And his raspy voice.
And the fact that suddenly her social media went silent. What a coincidence. I think she either knew or suspected.
She knew because RA confessed several times on the phone and she didn't hang up the first time RA told her..and, she Showed up at his court hearing and referred to him in court to a public person after his confession to her, as RA being her person..(strange)
I said the same thing a year ago and everybody blew up at me like I was a POS. I guarantee she knew, and I never have changed my mind. If anything I believe it more. Granted, she may have been in denial and convinced herself it wasn't him; but she knew in her heart of hearts. She had to.
Imagine the terror those two girls went through in their last moments. One of them would have seen the other killed and known it was about to happen to her too. Just horrific. I have no sympathy for this creature at all.
This creature? Who is the creature, and where is undisputable proof?
Richard Allen is the creature, what is your problem? @@chas1981
He admitted to it!
Evil on earth. Bless them lord try to give these families peace
It makes me sick to my stomach
I’m not at all concerned about his mental state. I’m more concerned about the families and loved ones of those precious girls. Heart wrenching 😢💗💗
Exactly 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
innocent until proven guilty grandma
@@mikehunt6160 Wow Ive never seen one of you talk before. Youre usually all just silently spinning round, and round in the toilet. No emotion at all.
It’s crazy how in 2017 he’s mentioned in the paperwork but never further an investigation on him until they check again and discover he’s a suspect. That was a big mistake by the investigators!
and now take a look back at all the press conferences and hear Doug Carter again^^
Richard Allen actually admitted to being there at the same time that the girls were back when this first happened. The police chose not to look into because he was so forthcoming…which is nuts to me! That made him suspicious but not to them. Question everyone and look into it!
That was no mistake it was done on purpose by someone for whatever reason pertaining to the case.. its no mistake thats bs
@@LaPlaztique I totally agree. But I think he knew that he would be overlooked for that reason.
Yes it is so infuriating. Poor police work resulting in the families and the community being sad and afraid for 5 years
He’s very aware of what he’s doing. He’s not having a mental break. He’s up to something ominous
I thought the same thing. He's desperate and does not want to go to prison. If he hadn't been arrested, he'd still be living his life. Slobbering down the front of his shirt like a boob, losing weight, and whatever else he's doing is a desperate attempt at a robe and bunny slippers instead of a prison jumpsuit. People go to prison all the time and do not end up like this. Whatever happens, his goose is cooked.
He's afraid - trying to make excuses now
Thanks Dr. Are you the prisons psychiatrist or did you have to go to the prison to diagnose him?
He's been in mental facilities in the past, once was days after the girls were murdered.
He is afraid of the hugs and kisses wing in prison……he may need some KY.
Yeah, this case got me because I just couldn't believe that poor Libby had been able to get a video of their murderer, including his voice! and yet no arrest was made for so long. He went to the cops right away and told them he was on the trail, and what he was wearing that day, and it matched her video, and they knew he had a gun...so why DID it take so long? And his wife and daughter didn't recognize him on the video?
Exactly none of it makes sense
I believe the emotions were so high they overlooked him
I don't think the police were up to the task, unfortunately.
Maybe he pre planned and purchsed at a thrift shop or something
I’m from Kokomo, Indiana just East of Delphi. So many men in this area look and sound just like him…truly. The clothing..,pretty standard…blue or gray jacket or hoodie with jeans. The only thing that really stood out was the hat. Most guys, if they wear a hat, wear ball caps. He’s wearing a British racing cap. Not usual headwear.
I think she ended the conversation abruptly to keep him from further incriminating himself. She did it to protect him. I believe she knew from the beginning it was him. I bet she will be right there in the courtroom supporting him.
If she did know from the beginning then she needs to be held accountable for not coming forward. I'd hate to see her skate if she knew he did this.
@mattdad8429 People have a right to private conversations with their spouse. It's pretty disgusting though, if she knew & kept supporting him. Smh
When you are in jail you have no privacy and it is no secret that your cls are being recorded!
I don't think he is overwhelmed by guilt, I think he is overwhelmed by the fact of living the rest of his life in prison.
He claims he treated like a pow yet he has a tablet to contact the outside world. What prisoner of war has a tablet?!?! More importantly, what did he expect?? Some people are just ridiculous.
RIP Abby and Libby 💕💕💕
All lies and the media did not say those things but the defense lawyers put out those lies! He willingly starved himself as his lawyers said he refused to eat! He has been suicidal as he knows his life is over and will be killed in prison for what he did the Sicko! 😡
I agree. I don't care if this psychopath broke his tablet and is not sleeping. We should not be worried about a child killer. He didn't worry about those two girls he killed. Also, I am tired of people saying everyone has "mental issues" when they commit horrible crimes. He knew exactly what he was doing. He is a manipulator and psychopath. He should receive the death penalty. I hope he suffers the worst possible time in prison.
To be fair. My grandfather was a WWII POW who also happened to be Jewish. His plane was shot down then he was captured. He survived until 91 🫶🏻 Now my point: we have his POW diary. Food labels, letters he was able to write home, etc. I’m not sure if he was treated better than some because he was military and not just a WWII European Jew or not. But some POW do in fact get to contact the outside world, by some means. And yes RIP beautiful girls 🤍
I mean maybe don't kill two innocent little girls then 😅 I can't believe these monsters..
@@AP12360yes same I'm sick of people using the excuse if mental health for being a evil.sick depraved and twisted murdering p.o.s
If my husband should confess to something like that, I would die. I would also drag everything out of him and sorry to say I will turn on him. My husband is my everything, but I could never accept something like that no matter how much I love him. Imagine finding out your loved one is such a monster!
Hey! Get off ur husband he didn't do anything
I agree also sadly I would not protect my children.
I don't trust our justice system so I would do everything I could to make sure they were represented by the best I could afford.
Here, Allen did confess not under destress that he did it so that would alter my help if it was my husband or child.

💟💟
The family has very recently stated that his name is being said more often then the victims. AND it’s often referred to as the Delphi murder case and not the murders of Abby & Libby. They said they want those poor little girls names said MORE than the disgusting perpetrator. I totally agree. Don’t refer to it as the Delphi double murder case. Just call it plainly what it is,the murder of Abby& Libby.
Cmon now
Don’t create more problems just to have more to talk about.
It is what it is and this case is so popular because of the fact.
Quit whining already lady
Everyone should call it the Rick Allen trial
“Justice for Abby and Libby”

They were teens but okay
Ageist!
@@mariadonkova2759they’re children. Shut up.
Agreed
In other words, you believe that mental illness does not exist. If a mentally challenged person did it, they should be killed?
I'm surprised his wife didn't recognize the clothes he was wearing on the footage captured by one of the girls. So sad for the victims families, sending prayers and condolences to them.
I'm sure deep down she did
Or did she?
I'm sure she knew it was him. How could she not? Imagine seeing your wife or husband on video, even for a few seconds, and not recognizing them. HIGHLY unlikely.
She chose to protect that killer because he is her husband and she "loves" him 🤢🤮 She should be sitting in a jail cell herself!
I think she saw the video and knew it was him and he said he was there. She just hoped that it wasn’t him that committed the murder, but I’m sure there were signs in his behavior that she picked up on and said nothing about.
May he receive the same mercy that he delivered.
Why not wait for the trial before assuming he was guilty?
Wtf. Innocent until proven guilty
@@PagingDrMakeUp welcome to social media. everybody is a keyboard judge and jury.

I know, those girls must’ve been so terrified.
Way to make it about yourself. Of course no one messed with you. Indiana is over 200 years old and this is the 1st time 2 kids were killed on a trail. That means its pretty freaking safe.

Same. Then, I would also ride my horse all over and through the woods.
Got a feeling RA's wife hung up during the confession convo because she was protecting him. She probably hung up so he couldnt say anymore as she knew their convo was being recorded and their convo could have been full of "huh?", "what?" for him to confess to her a few times in that convo. I believe his confessions, I dont think he confessed due to mental illness and I think any mental illness he may have (or may not if he is faking it as many do) is due to being caught and not from guilt. He lived his life just fine after he killed those poor, innocent girls. Im also sick of hearing "hes lost weight due to his poor mental health". No, hes lost weight because hes in prison, with awful food, no alcohol (he was supposdly an alcoholic), not much exercise and probably the stress of being caught.
Got that right.
She may have also hung up before he incriminated her, not involvement, but her knowledge...
And the mental terror of knowing once this is over hes not going to last long where he ends up
I thought the same thing
Yeah, if he woulda admitted it for the sixth time during the conversation, he'd be sunk. Thusly, she quickly ended the call.
So help me understand this.... the police were looking for this killer since 2017, had a VIDEO of him and couldn't find him - *AND HE WORKED AT THE CVS TWO BLOCKS FROM THEIR OFFICE?!!!* And you can't tell me his wife didn't recognize him in the video or his voice in the audio - come on man, she had to know!
The enquiry after the trial will be interesting.
@@enigma_-_79 I’m counting the minutes!!!
He even admitted wearing those exact clothes and being there at the exact time of the murders, with multiple witnesses!! No clue why they didn't circle back to him several times. They wouldn't have been able to rule him out way early on. What a mess the police made of this one.
@@kweenz109 yep, I agree 100%! And that Doug Carter DPS guy is a complete weirdo. Did you see his press conferences? I don't think I've ever seen a more botched case in my entire life! And had the Sheriff not called off the search early the evening of the 13th, they probably would've found Abby alive because her body was still warm at noon on the 14th when they found them!
Sounds like inept police work
Rest in peace girls we never forgot about you
Mental health has nothing to do with all this. He lived well after he took the lives of those two beautiful, innocent girls and never showed remorse.
He deserves the death penalty. Period.
Imagine being their parents and having no justice for 6 years, not even having any closure. I would be absolutely infuriated and heartbroken. I’m so happy they caught this guy
How do you know they caught the right guy. I missed the part where he was convicted.
Maybe it's was you, Sammy.
Six years. Well now seven is not that long actually. There were many murders that have never been solved. BTK was caught decades after his first murders.
And now they're being dragged through the torment of a trial.
Hopefully he's about to plea after Fridays closed hearing,
but I really hope one of the conditions is that we get some answers.
I'm still waiting for Defense to provide a single piece of evidence pointing to anyone besides Rick Allen.
If they could, I'd perhaps change my tune.
I just haven't heard it.
Cops took way to long to arrest him. What an animal.
Evidence required to make arrest
@@andrewmoore7927they knew he was local. They could have asked locals to volunteer DNA. It’s been done in the U.K. many times. Anyone that doesn’t comply or chooses not to should be investigated.

Same. I had bee. Researching the case when he was arrested. It was a huge surprise and shock
This was in a little hick town, I can't believe no one from his tiny town recognized him,his clothing or his stance.
I find it really hard to believe his wife & kids didn't realize it was him in the video.
People did recognize him and gave his name..But he had already come forward and told the police he was there and how he was dressed...and he told them that he matched the description...But they investigated a tiny bit and said he wasn't the suspect...the police dropped the entire BALL here...They didn't investigate him ENOUGH! HOW DISGUSTING!!! I HOPE THE INVESTIGATORS ARE INVESTIGATED

@@CALIGIRL702 Thank for the reply.
info......Yeah, it's possible the local police were like. "There's no way good old Rich could have done it. He's always been a pilar of this community." Type BS.
Cases in small towns are actually really hard to solve for this very reason.
People can't correlate the fact that the murderer lives amongst them.
These are the people they are comfortable with and familiar with, known all their lives.
They conclude that the offender cannot possibly be one of their own. It _has_ to be an *outsider*.
Its a cognitive dissonance of sorts, and the very reason why the Wife/Family didn't recognise him either.
It's also why rule 101 of investigating is to clear the ground beneath your feet first before looking further afield.
Could he have done this before? This seems pretty horrific for a first timer. He’s also either incredibly lucky getting away with it for so long or he had some practice at hiding in plain sight. I remember when I first heard about this case and I so desperately wanted these girls to have some kind of justice. I sure hope they get it.
I'm sure they're looking into that...
I’m sure he’s done this before .
I believe so but that's my opinion
I agree completely. Does someone just prey in kids and murder them in this horrific for the first time at his age? He has to have done something before, just never got caught.
@@melissaspencer632 he seems pretty adept at staying beneath the radar...
I hate it when killers, especially child killers, start complaining about the way they're getting treated in prison 😡 You murder someone, you don't get to stay in a five star hotel a zz hole

I would agree,BUT he’s not been 2 trial yet!!!
He's actually had preferential treatment in comparison to a normal detainee.
If you think that they would allow anything to happen to this High Profile inmate prior to trial then you're out of your gourd.
So many evil animals like this walking around. I feel awful for the families that have lost their daughters for no reason whatsoever.
Psychopaths are the best at hiding in sheep's clothing. We are catching on to these wolves !

@@Mrs.Robinsons I wish that were true.
@@Mrs.Robinsons you are not catching on
This case proves what we all knew from the beginning, that the police dropped the ball and didnt do anything worth speaking about.
Culprit was in front of them the entire time!
I disagree. I think they've been working on it the whole time. They can't tip their hand too soon. They knew for awhile I'm sure. They have to make sure t's are crossed & i's are dotted so the scumbag doesn't get off.
They did interview Allen right after the murders. They knew he was on the trails as well, but they did not find anything on him to point to anything.
Wrong, it means detectives had to wait until they had enough solid evidence against him. Like matching DNA etc...before arresting him so the charges would stick in court and he wouldn't be able to beat the case.
Cops can't arrest people just because they "feel" like the person is guilty. Even if they're pretty sure the person did it. They still need some type of proof/evidence before making the arrest.
don't play the blame.. the funniest thing is, that of all the people, the mother of one of the victims should have recognized him.
@@ingGSthe police never interviewed him. A conservation officer had a conversation with him and then the paperwork was misplaced.
I hope that guilt is eating him alive !!! He is NOT a victim, he IS a victimizer !!
His family had to of recognised him. Unbelievable. This would not have been his first offence. Rarely do perpetrators go straight to murder.
He worked at CVS and no one in many years believed he was BG. It's not a far stretch to think his family didn't think he was BG. We don't have a lot of evidence and he could very well NOT be BG. He at 5'4 did not match the description of BG. People are acting like people with torches chasing after Frankenstein.
Not necessarily in regards to either.

"karma" 😂😂
@@Secter84 best comment ever!!!!
What exactly does he think Abbey and Libby’s “mental health issues” were in their final moments? He wasn’t concerned about those two little girls, so why should anyone care about his issues now? Notice it’s all about him and not what he’s done.
Anyone who abuses or kills a child should automatically receive the death penalty.
@@AP12360 would you say that about a child who murdered another child? Look at the “Slender Man stabbings”. Two young girls who claimed they were sacrificing their friend, because “slender man told them to do it”. Twelve years old and, thankfully she survived, but had she died, should they have been put to death? And one of the girls who did it has been released already. How fair is that to the girl who was stabbed 19 times? Maybe her attackers should have been given a year for each blow!!
They were stabbed?!?!? My god. For some reason I was under the impression they had been shot. Stabbing is just so much more violent and personal. Those poor kids. I hate this world sometimes. I really do.
I think it was MUCH WORSE than that and remember…initially they leaked that they were “posed”.
We don’t know how sick this attack really was
Me too
He did use a gun to scare them to going down the hill. The second location is where he stsbbed them. He did leave a bullet behind because he racked the gun. Most likely to get them to comply.
That doesn't make sense that he cracked the gun and left a bullet behind. They said the bullet was a casing I believe which is a spent round. And I think they said they matched the firing pin impression on the casing to his gun...am I missing something
I heard on some videos about this case that it was a cult that killed them, and he forced the girls down the hill. To where they were killed their bodies were found in weird positions to I say he was a part of some cult and they killed the girls as a sacrifice or something.
The wife absolutely knew he was the guy on that bridge and has probably aided and abided by him for many many years.
I saw a video of Richard where he’s wearing that exact same blue jacket BG had on in the video Libby recorded.
Justice is coming for those girls happy to see that my thoughts and prayers go out to the families of these two young innocent children who were brutally murdered.
I can't imagine she didn't know. The clothes, the voice... maybe she was in denial or fearful?
"...aided and abided by??" Dearie, it's actually "aided and abetted."
A blue jacket is common fashion worn by men in rural Indiana. I have seen a number of "suspects" wearing BG clothes. We need to wait for the evidence. One problem is at only 5'4 Allen does not match the BG description.
I wonder how hard it was for the wife to get the blood stains out of his jacket and pants. I bet she pretreated.
Why doesnt the coverage of the Iowa cousins, Lizzy and Lyric get this much attention? I cannot understand. Two kids under 12 riding bikes at noon on a summer day- just vanish in a couple minutes and their bodies found 25 miles away... the the police cheif gets fired for being dangerous-- and there is NO coverage. So bizarre.
That’s awful. People are becoming so evil
I think the audio and video is what made Libby and Abby’s murder sort of stand out and pull the media in. Not saying it’s right or wrong.
I believe they need to see if he had something to do with this as well!
@@mistyjackson1745 he did not. but its someone just as similar. blends into the community. probably involved themselves in the investigation and I think the killer in Iowa knew the cousins according to the FBI profile.
As the commenter above says, because of the video/audio evidence makes it far more visceral and haunting.
Ontop of that the Defense have now spun it into some ridiculous Satanic Panic Tabloid circus.
I hope all girls recieve the justice they are owed.
The really sad part about humanity hearing about him confessing to his wife and mother is that THEY are the 2 people in the world that could have identified his voice, his walking, and his clothing on that day the girls were ordered down the hill to be killed.
The wife and mother watching that little bit of video with him talking and walking would have known in their sole that that was their husband and son.
Yet they kept quiet and didn't call the police.
They likely had no idea he would be accused of being BG. The voice has been matched to numerous suspects including the property owner. He hasn't even been brought to trial where the evidence would be brought forward for analysis. He is innocent until proven guilty, and the jury hasn't even been selected.
Denial is extremely powerful to the point of making people delusional in order for their minds to cope with info this horrifying , that being said there's also a chance they knowingly covered for him. If the latter is the case they need to be charged for obstruction of justice!
They have the right man and I've seen no evidence to suggest that anybody beside Richard Allen - by his own admission - is responsible.
But it's very likely that no family member or neighbours would ha e recognised him.
Everybody assumes it must be an 'outsider' who is responsible.
Even if she did recognise certain aspects or traits then its another huge cognitive leap to correlate it with your husband of 20 years and pick up a phone.
I dont blame her necessarily. Its understandable and I think once the truth finally sinks in for them they'll realise that they are victims of his betrayal and manipulation too.
It's really quite sad.
I can’t imagine how his family felt when they realized a monster lived with them. While raising his child, he took two from other families. He looks creepy in every picture.
I found it so shocking when I went on my UA-cam channel after being away from news, entertainment, and everything for a week, to see that this sick monster confessed, and there’s much more coming out. I honestly can’t believe it. My gut said it was him. This is so horrible, especially for those young girls. RIP to both & strength to the families. All families, including Richard’s.
Your gut said it was RA? 🙄😂🤡 Listen to your brain for things like this, not your gut rumblings! 🤣
You not gonna call and confess to your mother if you didn’t do it. That’s ridiculous. Richard Allen has gotten caught and now he is losing it, surprise surprise 🤦🏻♀️
Exactly
Allen is faking illness like the Golden State killer. Losing weight, eating paper - all pretty harmless, but it makes him look unstable.
His eyes are evil. The eyes always give them away. How his wife did not know, goes beyond understanding especially since she knew he was there, returned muddy and bloody, owned knives and guns. I truly believe these were not his first murders. No first time killer takes on 2 victims. Only someone very experienced will on a casual walk and in a relaxed tone order 2 young women "Down the hill" before murdering them most brutally. They ought to investigate other murders in the area.
I believe he has too
@@mistyjackson1745. Same .
I agree, but I don't think he went back home covered in blood - that would be nuts - he would have to risk being seen or even pulled over in that condition - no way. He likely had a change of clothes and did everything in his power to hide it.
I disagree. The crime scene evidence looks to me like was inexperienced and definitely not a sophisticated killer.
He lost control of the scene, left evidence, didn't dispose of bodies nor all the evidence/clothing afterwards.
I think his hubris and limited opportunity alone was why he took on two victims.
I think if a lone female fitting the same demographic had passed by he would have chosen her instead.
Good evening, and Thank You. Prayers for Justice.🙏🙏🙏🙏
How did the police screw this up so badly? They had Allen as a possible suspect years ago and did nothing.
The more I look into this, the less guilty he appears. True, the police did nothing. They left behind the branches on top of the bodies which would've hand the dna and/or fingerprints of the killer. Something stinks in Delphi. Look up Grizzly True Crime's deep dive.
Lack of manpower, egos, tunnel vision and uncovering a CSAM network that required multiple other parallel investigations basically.
You cant tell me the wife didnt recognise him, his clothes, his walk. Id recognise mine if he was walking backwards
💯💯💯
Yep. She's probably bar trash like him and didn't care as long as the booze was flowing.
The wives of BTK, Ridgeway, Gacy and iceman didnt know anything while they all murdered for years. So I suppose you're saying the entire town also knew but said nothing even though the sketch was everywhere including his place of work?
I totally agree .
I have poor eyesight but I recognise all of my family by their walk.
Still not forget how incompetent the police were. They could have had this guy a lot sooner. He literally put himself at the crime scene during the time the murders happened, and was seen wearing bloody clothes. Five years to arrest him, ridiculous
So they knew there was a person in the bloody clothes from the beginning? And they knew his name as the bloody clothes person? I assumed they just figured all that out at the end before the arrest.
@isveryrill1234567 they knew he placed himself at the crime scene around the same time everyone seen the guy that killed the girls. But surprisingly he never seen the guy, which would have been impossible if he claimed to be there at that time because two groups of people seen the guy. Even placed himself on the bridge. They didn't know it was him walking in the bloody clothes but they did know there was somebody walking and bloody clothes they just didn't do a follow-up on him. If they would have followed up they would have had him a lot sooner and they would have basically come out with all this evidence they came out with recently but it would have only taken maybe a month or two. They apparently have his gun that he ejected an unspent round from. So that means they had a bullet and the guy's name from the beginning. Check the database for gun owners in the area and basically his name's going to come up again. There's so many times that his name should have come up. The police department messed up big-time and if there is any other girls are kids that have been killed since then, it's blood on their hands
So glad he's finally been caught. Things like this don't happen around here so when the community heard about it, it totally shook us all and those 2 haven't been far from our minds since. ❤
Now, all we need is for Allen to spill the beans about anyone else possibly being involved.
If someone else was involved he'd have named them to save himself. This is all him. There's no big conspiracy in this case, facts and evidence simply don't show that to be the case.
I don’t believe the girls messaging Kegan Kline and setting up a meeting and then they get killed at the meeting spot by some other stranger to be a realistic coincidence. There has to be at least one other person involved.
@@krazyk8592Real. 💯
Besides, in the recent pretrial hearings the Defense conceeded they had no evidence to place any of the alternative suspects that they had mentioned in the area on that day and no evidence connecting them to the crime scene.
Ron Logan was also thoroughly investigated and cleared,
And both Kleins were confirmed to be at home on the day.
If anyone else is involved its the loose affiliation of other bad actors by way of shared CSAM source (hence details of investigation is still sealed, its an ongoing investigation),
But no proof of anybody directly linked to one another or anybody else at the crime scene.
....And if that doesn't convince you, then if more than one person was involved, don't you think they would have done a better job?
Hide the bodies? Dispose of the evidence? Not allow the girls to make a run for it? Actually carry out the SA?
Nope, just the work of one man imo.
Especially as he would have instantly rolled and got off with a kidnapping charge instead of double homicide if he offered up his accomplice. Esp in a death penalty state.
WHy does it have to be either an innocent man or a guilty man feeling guilt? If he did this its a guilty coward that cant face prison, the other inmates and loosing everything. It really winds me up when people think someone capable of this would have any guilt or conscience?? He feels sorry for himself!! And hes probably pulling a confess not confess like Chriss whats for his deluded family to feel sorry for him! AND LETS HOPE HE HASNT KILLED ANY MORE IN THE YEARS IT TOOK THE POILICE TO DO THERE VERY EASY JOB OF ARRESTING HIM
I agree, but
why do you people need to compulsively bring up Chris Watts like every 30 seconds regardless of how irrelevant it is to the conversation? This fixation needs to end. It's getting weird.
The cops really messed up this case. The "secret" details was the hinderence in this arrest. If they released the details someone else would have identified this man a long time ago. Releasing only a few seconds of a 45 second video was an idiotic choice. The description of the car that witnesses saw. The 2 completely different suspect pictures.
No one has said this yet but I guarantee you that when his wife abruptly hung up on him it wasn’t due to pain or shock BUT to protect him because she knows the calls are recorded.Mark my words.
How do YOU know that?
Well yes, because they play a recording every minute throughout the call to state "This call is being recorded".
So the both of them were well aware. Yet despite that Rick Allen still opted to confess again and again.
She indeed hung up and said she was going to call Baldwin as she realised he was incriminating himself.
@@alanaolmes4480 because DUH
It's not mentall insanity ... it's hyper anxiety.
He did the same thing after he saw himself from the phone of one of the girls on the news ... he checked himself in a mental hospital ... because of hyper anxiety.
Yes ... they knew the call was monitored and taped ... that's why RA's wife finally hung up ... not because she was mad but because she realized what was going to happen and was protecting him. She has been by his side through this whole thing. The reason it went as far as it did was because they got hyper emotional and needed to talk and wasn't thinking about anything else ... but lost in the moment.
After that ... he got hyper anxiety and has not talked on the phone since. He even panicked to the point of eating paper.
It's pretty crazy ... that he was so tough with all those guns and knives while commanding those little girls down the hill and now he is a weak mentality.
Why is there so much emphasis on Allen's "suffering?" What about the suffering of those poor girls and their loved ones?!
This devil is suffering failure to thrive and horrific nightmare flashbacks of his evil things he’s done. But defense is trying to blame the jail for the condition he’s in. Now the realization has come to him that he is caught. He’s in isolation probably with your face to live your demons because there’s no way too busy the mind on TV or etc
His wife knew what he did. She disappeared off facebook immediately after and he entered rehab. She knew
Yep….often wondered why she wouldn’t have recognized him/his outfit in the widely publicized photo that was taken.
Yup, the timing of her sudden disappearance from her social media was a very interesting factor indeed.
Life jail probation
I know every piece of clothing my husband of 15 years has. I know his walk...I know his mannerisms. I am not believing that wife didn't know that was her husband. I will never believe it.
THANK YOU!
I hope they are able to get him to confess his other crimes that are still unsolved, any more missing children etc. it’s hard to fathom this would be his first time…
They need details about the crime scene that only the killer would know to know they have the right man.
@@loralieisa They've had him confess 61 times- including details that only the killer would know. They've got their guy.
That said I think this was his first homicide. He's probably committed other offences and criminal behaviours.
Hello,
I've followed some of this investigation over the years! First the way the parents were treated by the police was disgusting! ( I saw other direct interviews with the sheriff and a couple other people that proved so!) The mothers were left in the dark along with the rest of the family!
There is definitely something wrong with Richard Allen!!
But nothing to stop him from being prosecuted for this heinous crime against these two little girls!!! Thank God Abbey had the presence of mind to video as much as she could!!
May these two little angels rest in peace!!
Peace 🕊️
The fact that he took a picture of his daughter on the exact same bridge he killed those poor girls at is all I need to know
I read the picture was taken before the murders.
did he say anything that actually happened that only the killer would know?
Now that is the question!
Somehow I’m still not convinced he’s THE k*ller. Too many things don’t add up and too many suspicious people
Don't let your guard down and don't let your family travel alone. The world is full of evil and evil people.
It’s funny how he had no crazy actions or suicidal tendencies until he was caught!
There's no way that his wife didn't realize that this was a video of her husband.
Absolutely agree. No way she didn't recognize his walk or his voice.
The LE claimed this man was nearly a mile away from them when the man on the bridge was seen & the voice was immediately following him. Absolutely couldn’t be the killer as the time lapse was 9 seconds according to the original story released by the cops.
It's looking like he Will plead guilty and admit everything during trial. To confess several times on a known recorded line suggest he's done denying it. The question is will he get the death penalty or life imprison without the possibility of parole...
Probably prison for life. Indiana doesn't do death penalty that often. Also, if he pleaded guilty his lawyers will probably not let him speak either way
If he gets locked up forever, at least we get some semblance of justice. He should also absolutely not be allowed a cellphone or tablet. What is this?
Isn't it almost a certainty that he will be taken out by others in prison?
Lawyers have people showing up to court exactly how they want them to look. His “condition” is bullsh*t. His lawyers wouldn’t dare allow him to leave his cell looking disheveled, sloppy and ailing, if they didn’t want to perpetuate a certain image of him. Clothes all sloppy, ill fitting and stained. Body all folded up like he’s 100 years old. Listen, he was overweight and now he’s not. Big deal. His appearance is a ruse. He was fine for years, going about his business, no problems at all until he got caught. Now he’s mentally ill with all these infirmities. Gtfoh. Put a clean, proper fitting suit on that man and let him show up, stand up and face what he’s done.
Real. 💯
Manufactured an impression that poor frail vulnerable Rick couldn't possibly have taken on TWO sporty girls at once.
It's strategy, entirely intentional.
Its disgusting that he had a tablet, in his jail cell to communicate with the outside world. 🤬
No. His “mental state” is him realizing that he’d messed up when he confessed over the phone. He’s only not eating (other than his legal documents) and sleeping to make it look like he’s mentally unstable so as to make the confession unusable against him. He wasn’t acting that way until after the phone calls were made.
Truth. Its all an act now
I couldn’t be more grateful to hear not only did law-enforcement find the individual he actually confessed. That gruesome double murder in Delphi of those young children has not only haunted that community in that state, but I would argue the country as a whole.
He hasn’t confessed. These are pieced together phone calls & not one has any confession in them, at all. It’s not detectives who pieced it together, it’s UA-camrs, and no truth to it.
Amen. Now Richard Allen is gonna have to “go down that hill.”
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim ??????
@@WilliamDague means we’re frogmarching him towards justice
He totally confessed and it was a complete call until Kathy hung up. He told her Five times he was responsible.
One of the girls relatives (she goes by, or went by Miss F'ing Wonderful) on UA-cam showed text messages that one of the guys that discovered the bodies sent her. He said Libby appeared to be the target, stabbed a bunch of times, was naked and buried under sticks, limbs and leaves. Abby was "sitting against a tree like a little doll fully dressed". She was stabbed in the neck and heart, so it was quick. She showed all this in live videos on UA-cam a long time ago. This man needs to serve the rest of his life in gen pop and let him feel the fear these two babies felt - for the rest of his miserable life.
What a disgusting monster! Poor girls! 😭😭😭
@@cookie_dough_hangover right!!! I can’t believe she showed those texts, I was literally sick when I saw them. I don’t feel sorry for his one bit!!! Those poor girls. OMG 😢🥹💔
@sophiar6996 did she show those texts after he was in custody?
@@melistasy no it was years ago
I can’t find the page
He's being tormented and tortured by the demons that overtook him. I am so sorry for the families and friends of these beautiful young girls.
Demons made him do it? Please stop with this nonsense. He did it of his own volition.
Good because he deserves to be haunted everyday of what I'd left of his pathetic life.
A life for a life. Death penalty for this narcissistic monster! Prayers 🙏 for the family.
His 'suffering' is nothing compared to the terror and suffering of his two victims
killing 2 innocent children will definitely have an effect on your mental health. I hope he continues to rot in jail.
Hard to believe that he knowing he has a daughter then to murder 2 precious girls I don't understand how could he do this 💔
It’s just so sad that these sweet little girls had to go through this! What kind of human does this? He’s not human, but pure evil!!!
This is where I have no issue if prison life is hard for him. What goes around comes around, and I hope that he suffers similar injustices to his body that he did on those poor girls. I hope he feels vulnerability, fear, pain, shame for as long as he lives.
He wasn't losing weight or go mental in all these years, only when he got caught did he start to fall apart.
No sympathy, he deserves the worst
We never gave up! Best friends forever. Rip little darlings.
I didnt hear any details of the killings
You’re not gonna hear those recordings until trial
@@Stephany-d1i the video title is literally 'gruesome details of killings revealed' duhhh
Bruh. You really came here for that?
How gross and disturbing is it for his wife to still be standing by him knowing that he killed two little girls
This situation is tragic, and my heart goes out to the families and community. I'm just confused as to how the wife didn't recognize her husband's walk,clothes, etc. I'm sure everyone in that community watched coverage from day 1. I'm sure she's devastated as well.
She had to know !!!! I see she’s divorcing him now .
Guilt is eating him alive from the inside out. I’d be a shell of myself too, had I done those unspeakable things to two young girls.
I think he's just done and has given up
He’s not feeling guilt. He’s scared of his fate in jail.
If murdering little children turns him on,then he hasn't suffered from guilt at all, on the contraty hemight have .urdered many more. I wonder if his children knows how lucky they are to be alive...he must have had moments when he had to force himself not to touch them...
Oh heck, I beat myself up for a time 30 years ago I yelled really bad at her. Of course we’re all made up, but I still feel so bad for doing it.
@@Candy-O1776 Because we have a conscious. I wonder if his wife and mom have talked to him since. It sounds like they were in denial and in shock when he confessed,
That's WHY he wasn't hungry - he ate all the Court paperwork!!!
Maybe his confession (which is not alledged but fact) will spare the family a trial.
Pretty disgusting that his wife & mother knew he killed those girls for years & still supported him.
If so ,They need to be arrested for abiding and having knowledge of it all this time!
You can't tell me someone in that town didn't recognize him from the video!
He even went to police and admitted to taking a walk on the bridge the same day the girls went missing!!!
I think the wife knew and has helped him. How could she not recognize her own husband in the video. Can’t she be arrested for aiding and abetting?
She probably has spousal privilege in Indiana; I don't believe in spousal privilege, that law should be abolished in every state.
With evidence. No DA wants to try to make charges stick a 2nd time
.doesn't work out well..
This can't be his first murder. They say that nobody wakes up one day and decides I'm gonna be a murderer
And then murder two people at once. He definitely has skeletons in his closet.
Every murderer has their first victim though... they often think about it for years before acting on their urges. Then when an opportunity presents itself, they take it.
Y murderer begins with a first victim ,duh
I believe there are more!
Not necessarily. It could have just been an SA that he lost control of and escalated, ending in double homicide.
Wow, i am glad this has been solved
What amazes me about this case is that these children were dropped in the middle of nowhere, out of earshot or any kind of help and left for hours on their own. Totally incomprehensible to me.
Thank you for only showing the video of bridge guy with the audio not on loop. It’s a disturbing video and it makes me cringe to hear it on loop. I understand why the authorities released it in that manner, but it doesn’t have to continuously be replayed like that. Knowing that’s the last thing those girls recorded, and were in great fear for their lives at the time and probably shocked too, it’s still hard to watch & listen to. Kudos for your integrity.
Just the fact that Allen was the one in the video and knowing the children were missing and then eventually killed and Allen not going to police department to report he saw the girls is damning, all other evidence such as bullet casing found by bodies belonging to Allen and confession is just the nail in the coffin..
. He did and what happened, they say they mis filed the report . A local tells a conservation officer he was there at the same time the girls were and they want us to believe they just filed it away. come on !
The sad thing is that he did say he was there. It’s the police that forgot to look through all the people who, said they were there that day.
Yes he went to a conservation officer ad told him he was there that day and time but the paperwork got lost 😠 Allegedly wild
We want people to come forward and this is what happens when they do. Jail is not supposed to be a bed of roses you're still supposed to be treated humane.
@@Mytube777 He talked to a conservation officer, or ranger-type guy. Obviously, there was no cross-checking by the agencies which was a mistake. He did not talk to the police.
Killers always have those dead stare eyes 👹
So true
His eyes are wicked 😮
His wife had to have recognized his voice!!! Also I bet she has washed those clothes a hundred times since the crime!! Being married for that long you would recognize your spouse easily!
AND there must have been blood on him. Both of them are evil monsters. I hope the town is paying out big time on this enabler wife.
@@kathduncan9618 yes!!
A wife cannot testify against her husband. But a phone call is admissible
He has an iPad in jail and he’s under bad conditions?! WTF?!!?!
He wants to be sent to an asylum instead of prison. He knows he will be assaulted and may die a horrible death.
Agreed! Even if he is clinically disturbed, well he got caught and has to deal so that alone could be torturing him. No sympathy.
