On October 26, 2022, police left Richard Allen alone in an interrogation room with his wife. They had just told him a bullet from his gun was found where two girls were murdered. He hugged her: "It's all right, babe." Libby German and Abby Williams were best friends. In 2017 they were found dead off a hiking trail by an abandoned railway bridge in Delphi, Indiana. Before they died, one of them filmed a man on the bridge and recorded his voice: "Down the hill." In the video below, Allen tells his wife: "I didn't murder anybody. I didn't help somebody murder anybody." She asks if he was on the bridge. "I told them I was on the bridge." She says: "I don't remember you telling me that." Then: "How did a bullet from your gun get out there?" He says there are two explanations: either the bullet didn't come from his gun, or it didn't come from a murder scene. She tells him: "It did, though, honey. They've got ballistics on it." When she leaves, a detective tells her: "Do the right thing, Kathy. Tell him to do the right thing." Minutes later, Allen says: "I'm done talking. Arrest me." The detective: "Happy to." He was convicted of murdering both girls and sentenced to 130 years. Was he a man stunned by a mistake, or someone who knew exactly what that bullet meant?
