Delphi: Five Years of Lost Evidence, Ignored Tips, and Cleared Suspects

Delphi: Five Years of Lost Evidence, Ignored Tips, and Cleared Suspects


When Richard Allen came forward voluntarily in February 2017, he told law enforcement he'd walked the Monon High Bridge Trail the same afternoon Abby and Libby disappeared. He answered their questions. He wasn't hiding. And then his report was filed under the wrong name and buried in a box until a volunteer found it in September 2022. According to the appellant's brief, that wasn't the only thing the investigation lost. A recorded interview with a suspect who admitted to practicing pagan bloodletting rituals and owning a .40 caliber firearm was taped over by Delphi Police. The weapon was never collected. The phone was never searched. Officers investigating the suspect's alibi were invited to review workplace surveillance video and declined. The scene where the girls were found troubled officers from the start — sticks arranged in patterns that didn't conceal anything, injuries possibly caused by different weapons, a crime multiple investigators believed was too complex for a single person. The FBI's BAU evaluated whether it could be ritualistic and declined to rule it out. Eyewitness Betsy Blair described Bridge Guy as a man in his twenties with poofy hair and rated her sketch 10 out of 10. Allen was 44 with short hair. The jury never saw the sketch. This five-part series documents every failure, every ignored suspect, and every decision that built the path from a misfiled report to a conviction that, in my opinion, was wrongful.
