About this listen

 Injustice isn’t just a possibility—it’s a reality. Delphi Murders: Richard Allen & The Search For The Truth dives deep into the shocking failures of the investigation into the brutal murders of Abby Williams and Liberty German. Hosted by Tony Brueski, this podcast unpacks the glaring inconsistencies, the ignored evidence, and the disturbing judicial process that led to the conviction of a man who may very well be innocent.

Why did investigators shift focus away from Ron Logan, the man whose property was the crime scene? Why was Richard Allen, with no direct physical evidence linking him to the crime, put on trial in what many are calling a sham? And how did law enforcement and prosecutors seemingly manipulate the narrative to fit a conclusion they needed rather than the truth?

We explore every angle, every lead that was dismissed, and every questionable move made by those in charge. Featuring exclusive interviews, expert analysis, and in-depth reporting, Delphi Murders: Richard Allen & The Search For The Truth is dedicated to uncovering what really happened—and holding those responsible accountable.

  • Judge Frances Gull Retires: The Delphi Rulings That Buried Richard Allen's Defense Are Now Under Appeal

    Judge Frances Gull Retires: The Delphi Rulings That Buried Richard Allen's Defense Are Now Under Appeal
    Jan 23 2026

    The judge who controlled what the jury saw and heard in Richard Allen's trial just announced her retirement. Frances Gull will step down from the bench at the end of 2026 after nearly thirty years. Her press release talks about Drug Court, veterans, and "second chances." It says nothing about Delphi. Nothing about Abby and Libby. Nothing about Richard Allen.

    But the 113-page appellant's brief filed last month says plenty.

    According to the defense, Gull excluded Betsy Blair's composite sketch—the one where Bridge Guy is described as young, in his twenties, with poofy brown hair. Allen was 44 with short hair. The jury never saw it. She excluded William Tobin, a forensic expert with nearly 300 cases who could have challenged the bullet methodology the State relied on. She made the defense mute the audio on videos showing Allen screaming, delusional, and psychotic in solitary confinement. The jury saw strange behavior but never heard the context.

    She excluded Dawn Perlmutter's testimony explaining the crime scene as a possible ritual killing—even though law enforcement investigated that theory from day one. She excluded all evidence of Brad Holder and Patrick Westfall, alternative suspects with documented ties to pagan rituals and the victim herself. She excluded evidence that police recorded over interviews and ignored tips.

    But she admitted a Google search conducted during trial to rehabilitate the prosecution's timeline.

    Now she's walking away. The appeals court will decide if what she built can stand.

  • Richard Allen's Confessions EXPOSED: Wrong Details, Psychotic Episodes, and What the Jury Never Heard

    Richard Allen's Confessions EXPOSED: Wrong Details, Psychotic Episodes, and What the Jury Never Heard
    Jan 6 2026
    The state's case against Richard Allen came down to his confessions. Without them, there's no eyewitness identification, no DNA, and a bullet "match" that even the state's own expert admitted is subjective. The confessions were everything.

    So let's talk about what those confessions actually looked like.

    According to the Appellant's Brief filed in December 2025, Richard Allen confessed while declared "gravely disabled" by Indiana's own doctors. He confessed while smearing feces on himself. While drinking toilet water. While asking if he was dead. While claiming he'd started World War III and rambling about "old bear claw" hypnotizing him.

    He said he shot the girls. Abby and Libby were stabbed, not shot. He confessed to molesting his sister and daughter—both women denied it. He said a van scared him off mid-attack. According to defense evidence, that van arrived 25 minutes after the phone data suggests the attack ended. Days after confessing to the prison psychologist, he asked her if he had confessed. He couldn't remember doing it.

    Before five months in maximum-security solitary confinement, Allen sat through two interrogations without breaking. "I did not murder two little girls." After solitary—after losing 45 pounds, after being placed in conditions that violated Indiana's own 30-day policy for mentally ill inmates—he was eating pages from his Bible and banging his head until his face was black and blue.

    The jury saw videos of Allen in this state. Judge Gull ordered the audio muted. They never heard him screaming. Never heard him incoherent. The prosecution told them his confessions were "logical and organized."

    Today we examine every confession, every wrong detail, and what the science says about false memories formed in isolation.

  • The Delphi Appeal — Did the System Fail Richard Allen at Every Step?

    The Delphi Appeal — Did the System Fail Richard Allen at Every Step?
    Jan 6 2026
    This is the Delphi appeal — start to finish.

    Defense attorney Bob Motta walks through the full scope of the case now before the appellate court: a warrant allegedly built on omissions and altered statements, a year of extreme solitary confinement that preceded multiple confessions, and a trial where critical defense evidence was never allowed in front of the jury.

    At every stage, the appeal raises the same question: were constitutional protections followed — or bypassed — to secure a conviction?

    From the probable cause affidavit…
    to the conditions inside Westville prison…
    to what jurors were and were not permitted to hear…

    This episode connects all three phases into one continuous narrative and examines what happens when pressure, isolation, and restricted evidence replace transparency and due process.

    Because if a conviction can only survive by hiding contradictions, suppressing context, and breaking a defendant psychologically — then the integrity of the system itself is on trial.
