In the Delphi murders, the public was told a simple story: the police put the pieces together, the system worked, and justice was finally served. But when you actually read the documents — the transcripts, investigator depositions, Franks filings, internal notes, and the raw exhibits tucked into the case file — a very different picture emerges.

This wasn’t a clean investigation. It wasn’t methodical. It wasn’t disciplined. It was chaotic, fragmented, and politically pressured from the moment Abby and Libby were found. Leads were documented once and never followed up on. Entire suspects — and entire theories — were quietly dropped without explanation. Investigators contradicted each other, forgot key details, and admitted under oath that they weren’t even aware of evidence sitting inside their own case file.

And yet somehow, in year six, the narrative suddenly snapped into place — not because the investigation got better, but because it finally got a suspect it could backfill the story around.

Tonight, we dig into the evidence that was ignored, the leads that were buried, the internal disagreements investigators never wanted the public to see, and the retrofitted logic that shaped the state’s case. This is not about saying who is guilty or innocent — it’s about asking why the most important homicide investigation in modern Indiana history was handled with the kind of inconsistency you’d expect from a case no one was watching.

If this is how the system works when the world is paying attention… what happens in a case where no one is?

Join Tony Brueski as we break down the investigation behind the scenes — the failures, the shortcuts, the missing follow-through, and the real-world consequences of an investigative structure that collapses under pressure.

In this episode, I’m pulling back every layer of the Delphi murders investigation — the layers the public was never supposed to see. The depositions. The affidavits. The early FBI involvement. The abandoned suspects. The suppressed evidence. The symbolic crime-scene elements no one wanted to touch. The Ron Logan raid the state now pretends never happened. The entire fractured internal world that led to one outcome: an investigation that didn’t point to Richard Allen… but collapsed into him.

This is not the sanitized version of the Delphi story. This is what happens when leadership breaks down, when agencies contradict each other under oath, when key behavioral assessments vanish from the record, and when major suspects — including the closest neighbor to the crime scene — are aggressively pursued and then quietly erased once they become inconvenient.

I walk you through the FBI’s raid on Ron Logan’s home and why the affidavit said there was probable cause he was involved. Why Odinist suspects were ignored. Why symbolic indicators were buried. Why the BAU’s ritual assessment disappeared. Why the bullet had no field documentation. Why investigators contradicted each other about the timeline, about the FBI’s involvement, about who was actually running the case.

This isn’t about guilt or innocence. This is about an investigation so fractured, so disorganized, and so unwilling to face its own failures that it needed an answer — any answer — after years of pressure. And that answer became Richard Allen.

This is Delphi without the PR spin. And it’s long past time the public saw it.

In today’s episode, we take a hard, relentless look at Lieutenant Jerry Holeman’s testimony in the Delphi murders case — and what it reveals about the investigation that led to the conviction of Richard Allen. This isn’t speculation. This isn’t rumor. This is straight from the sworn record: the contradictions, the assumptions, the missing analysis, and the investigative gaps that no one watching the press conferences ever got to see.

Holeman was positioned as one of the state’s anchors — a senior Indiana State Police investigator expected to bring clarity and confidence to a deeply complex double-homicide case. Instead, his testimony exposes just how shaky the investigative foundation really was. Sticks placed on the bodies of Abby and Libby were dismissed as “camouflage,” even though they concealed nothing. Then, suddenly, the state floated a psychological term — “undoing” — that had never appeared in the investigative record, and Holman endorsed it without hesitation.

His certainty about a “single offender” wasn’t based on forensic proof. It came from a belief he stated on the stand: that in multi-offender crimes, “someone usually talks.” Yet the case file contains exactly that — a suspect making disturbing comments investigators inexplicably labeled “no further action.”

We dive into everything Holman didn’t explain: why symbolic elements were barely analyzed, why alternative suspects weren’t vetted, why forensic opportunities were missed, why the bullet lacked field documentation, why major investigative questions were replaced with assumptions, and why his testimony often stood in open conflict with other investigators on essential questions like the FBI’s role.

This isn’t about guilt or innocence. It’s about whether the investigation that shaped the entire Delphi narrative was thorough, consistent, or grounded in evidence. And Holman’s testimony makes it undeniably clear: the holes aren’t small. They’re foundational.

If you care about the truth in Delphi, this breakdown matters.

Today, defense attorney Bob Motta and I take a hard look at one of the most troubling aspects of the Delphi murder investigation: the leads that were dismissed, minimized, or never meaningfully followed.

The depositions show something the public has never had a clear window into — investigators explaining why certain suspects weren’t pursued, why certain statements didn’t matter, why symbolic elements of the crime scene were ignored, and why potentially exculpatory information was either downplayed or outright forgotten.

In this conversation, Bob breaks down how two individuals tied to the Odinism angle — individuals whose behavior should have triggered deeper investigation — were inexplicably filed as “no further action.” One made a disturbing comment about whether his DNA would be found on the girls. The other posted imagery eerily similar to the crime scene and owned a .40-caliber handgun that was never seized or tested. These aren’t fringe details. These are red flags. Massive ones.

Yet the investigative record treats them as footnotes.

Bob and I go through why leads like these get dropped, how narrative lock affects decision-making, and what happens when the pressure to find “the right suspect” overshadows the obligation to explore every suspect. We cover the symbolic patterns on the girls’ bodies, the missing tree-origin analysis on the sticks, the late disclosure of the Odinism file, and the dissonance between what investigators told the public versus what they swore to in depositions.

This isn’t speculation. It’s not theory. It’s the investigators themselves, under oath, explaining why critical evidence was set aside — and whether that decision is now going to haunt the state on appeal.

If you want to understand the investigative blind spots in the Delphi case, this is the episode.

In this episode, Robin Dreeke — former FBI Special Agent and one of the country’s top behavioral analysts — joins me to examine the Delphi murders investigation through the only lens that can truly explain the depositions: human error.

Evidence doesn’t make decisions. People do. And the depositions show a team of people overwhelmed, overloaded, and psychologically boxed in. Robin and I break down why investigators contradicted themselves, why memories shifted, why certain information was minimized, and why the entire system seemed to lose its grip on objectivity.

Why did one investigator insist the FBI was removed from the case while another had no recollection of it? How did a key BAU assessment about ritual indicators disappear from the internal record? Why did the affidavit reshape crucial witness descriptions? Why were symbolic elements at the crime scene left largely uninterpreted? Why did the investigative team lock onto a lone-offender theory when their own internal testimony doesn’t even agree with it?

Robin explains how narrative commitment forms inside a team under intense pressure — how the mind simplifies what is complex, how teams emotionally invest in a theory, and how anything that contradicts that theory begins to feel like a threat rather than a clue.

We talk about burnout, tunnel vision, cognitive contamination, leadership vacuums, fragmented communication, and the psychological “reward loop” investigators get from forcing clarity onto chaos.

This episode is not about conspiracy or blame. It’s about understanding how very human psychological patterns can quietly shape — and misshape — a homicide investigation. If you want to understand why the state’s clean narrative doesn’t match the messy reality

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Robin Dreeke — retired FBI Special Agent and former head of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — for a deep dive into the psychological collapse that happened inside the Delphi investigation. This isn’t about evidence. This is about behavior. The behavior of the investigators who shaped the case.

The depositions reveal an investigative team working under immense pressure. And according to Robin, that pressure didn’t make the team sharper — it made them fracture. He explains how emotional fatigue, leadership confusion, and cognitive bias can break down an investigation from the inside long before the public ever sees the cracks.

We talk about why investigators remembered key events differently. Why deeply contradictory testimony came from people sitting at the same table. Why timeline elements were reframed. Why symbolic evidence was ignored. Why the BAU’s early assessment seemed to vanish. Why investigators became anchored to a single suspect. And why potential alternative suspects weren’t pursued with even basic curiosity.

Robin walks us through the behavioral science behind all of this: how fear reshapes memory, how teams under stress cling to simplistic narratives, how cognitive overload leads to dismissing complex information, and how internal uncertainty creates outward certainty that doesn’t match the reality behind the scenes.

This is not a takedown of law enforcement — it’s a human analysis of what happens when people face overwhelming expectation, limited resources, and a community demanding closure.

If you've always felt something “off” about the way Delphi unfolded, this episode will help you understand exactly what that “off” feeling is — and why the depositions expose a psychological unraveling at the heart of the case.

In this episode, I sit down with defense attorney and trial analyst Bob Motta to examine the most explosive development yet in the Delphi case: the collapse of the timeline investigators built around the murders of Abby and Libby.

For years, the timeline was treated as settled. But when you read the depositions, the cracks spread fast. Bob and I break down how witness statements were reshaped, how the search-warrant affidavit reframed crucial descriptions, and how timelines were tightened or loosened depending on who was writing the report. This isn’t conjecture — it’s sworn testimony.

Bob walks us through the most glaring issues: a witness who described a young man and an older car, yet was portrayed to the judge as having seen something “consistent” with Richard Allen; investigators who can’t agree on when the FBI was involved; conflicting testimony about the time of death; missing documentation around the bullet that ties Allen’s gun to the case; symbolic elements at the crime scene ignored or downplayed; and third-party suspects whose movements and statements were never thoroughly pursued.

This interview digs into why these inconsistencies matter — not emotionally, but legally. How does a conviction stand when the foundation beneath it shifts every time you compare one deposition to another? How does an affidavit remain valid when key information was omitted or altered? And how does the public reconcile the clean version of the case with the messy, disjointed reality revealed behind closed doors?

This isn’t about guilt or innocence — it’s about whether the system followed its own rules. And according to the depositions, the timeline wasn’t built on solid ground. It was built on selective memory, contradictory claims, and investigative shortcuts that now threaten the entire structure of the case.

In today’s episode, former FBI Special Agent and Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, Robin Dreeke, joins me for a breakdown unlike anything you’ve heard about the Delphi case. Forget the sanitized, press-conference version of this investigation. Robin and I go deep into the human psychology behind the breakdown — the way investigators acted, reacted, remembered, forgot, contradicted each other, shut out certain leads, and emotionally locked onto others.

The depositions don’t just reveal evidence issues. They reveal behavioral issues. And Robin reads those better than anyone.

Why did two lead investigators swear under oath to completely opposite stories about the FBI’s involvement? How does a team forget or “not recall” something as significant as an early BAU ritual-indicator assessment? Why would symbolic elements at the crime scene be brushed aside? Why would red-flag behavior from potential suspects be minimized? Why were sticks left for days, evidence untested, witness statements reframed, and major investigative steps glossed over?

Robin walks us through the behavioral patterns that show up when an investigative system is overwhelmed — from narrative lock, to tunnel vision, to fear-based decision making, to the emotional need to force coherence onto an incoherent case. We discuss cognitive contamination, leadership collapse, internal factioning, memory distortion, and the psychological pressure that quietly reshapes how investigators interpret facts.

This episode isn’t about guilt or innocence. It’s about how the people behind the Delphi investigation functioned — and dysfunctioned. And why that matters.

If you want to understand why this investigation feels so fractured, and what the depositions really reveal about the team that built the case, Robin’s analysis is absolutely essential.

In our latest interview, defense attorney Bob Motta joins me to dissect the one thing the public never truly got to see in the Delphi murders case: the investigators themselves, speaking under oath. And what those depositions reveal isn’t a unified, focused, evidence-driven investigative team — it’s a fractured, inconsistent, internally conflicted system struggling under the weight of its own decisions.

For years, the Delphi narrative has been kept clean and simple on the surface. But beneath that exterior is a record full of contradictions: investigators who cannot agree on whether the FBI was removed from the case… conflicting recollections about the Behavioral Analysis Unit’s early assessment… witness statements reshaped in the search-warrant affidavit… third-party suspects dismissed despite disturbing statements and behavior… symbolic evidence at the crime scene left unexplored… and forensic gaps that defy basic homicide protocol.

Bob walks us through all of it — the timeline manipulation, the altered witness descriptions, the failure to pursue leads, the missing documentation around the bullet, the sticks left in the woods for days, and the Odinism material that sat in the prosecutor’s office for months before being disclosed. These are not minor mistakes. These are systemic failures with massive implications for Richard Allen’s appeal.

If you're looking for the polished, sanitized version of this case, this isn’t it. This is the raw underside — the part the public didn’t see, the part juries never heard, and the part that may very well determine whether this conviction withstands appellate scrutiny.

When investigators contradict each other, forget key events, minimize crucial evidence, and reshape witness statements to fit a narrative, it’s not just bad optics — it’s a crisis of investigative integrity. And today, Bob and I break that crisis wide open.
