Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

In the podcast "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer discusses the ongoing case against Richard Allen, the alleged Delphi murderer. Coffindaffer addresses the complexities surrounding Allen's numerous confessions during his 22 months in custody, questioning their validity given his deteriorating mental state. Allen was held in extreme conditions, including solitary confinement for 23 hours a day, which Coffindaffer argues could drive anyone to madness. She emphasizes the procedural mishandling of Allen's case, which includes restricted access to his attorneys and questionable probable cause for his arrest. Despite the confessions potentially being credible, the mishandling might allow Allen to challenge his prosecution successfully. Coffindaffer also points out deficiencies in the probable cause affidavit, questioning the foundation of the investigation. She raises concerns that the entire case might be compromised due to these procedural errors, potentially leading to Allen's release despite his possible guilt.
