Delphi Murders: Richard Allen & The Search For The Truth

Mental Collapse or Delphi Murder Admission? Richard Allen Jail Calls Exposed


Listen Later

This second segment dives into the devastating mental deterioration of Richard Allen during his 13-month pretrial incarceration in solitary confinement—what the state called a “safekeeping order.” Tony, Stacy, Todd, and Bob break down how Allen was isolated, broken down, and allegedly manipulated into confessing to the Delphi murders—not through force, but through psychological collapse.

Bob takes us inside the jailhouse calls, including one made at 3:15 AM where Allen desperately tells his stepfather he’s losing his mind and feels like he’s in Guantanamo. Hours later, in a fog of confusion, he tells his wife, “I did it”—then follows with, “Evidently I did.” Is that a confession? Or the ramblings of a man pushed to the brink?

We discuss how labeling solitary as a “single-person cell” let the state sidestep human rights standards, why the court excluded a jail call where Allen professes his innocence, and how this system, by design or dysfunction, weaponizes mental illness to build a case. If this was strategy, not oversight, it’s one of the most ethically disturbing chapters in modern true crime.

This segment lays bare the line between confession and coercion—and forces us to ask: is it justice if you have to destroy a man’s mind to convict him?
