Delphi Murders: Suspect's Confession to Shrink Reveals Details Only Killer Knew

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace - A podcast by iHeartPodcasts and CrimeOnline

Richard Allen's confessions have been a focus for testimony this week in the Delphi Murders Trial. Prosecutors have noted that Allen confessed 61 times.  John Galipeau, the former warden of the Westville Correctional Facility, testified that Allen wrote him a note in 2023 that read,   "I am ready to officially for confess killing Abby and Libby. I hope I get the opportunity to tell the families I’m sorry."   Galipeau said Allen admitted to getting rid of a box cutter in a dumpster behind his work place.   A clinical psychologist who examined Richard Allen, told a jury that Allen said his intentions were "sexual,"  and that Allen called himself  “too much of a coward” to kill himself.  During some of his confessions,  Dr. Monica Wala said Allen gave specific details about the crime, which only the suspect would know.
