Abby & Libby - The Delphi Murders - Richard Allen Arrested - #188

[Justice101]

Exactly!

He is hung by his own sword. Let’s see where his phone places him that afternoon as he claims he was using it to check stock.

Imo

it was 7 years until they did the search warrant. Do we even know if they have the phone? Or do they even need the phone to get GPS locations?

 

[vinayd]

Is this new?

yup fresh off the docket. Too bad most of what they want to present will likely be off limits after the upcoming hearing. They can have at it. Let's get to trial.

 

[susiQ]

Personality-wise, the perpetrator should be smart, independent, with perverse sense of humor and to himself, not holding either paganism or official church in high esteem - not RA, IMO.)

When considering a video made by BH and posted to YT, this is what stood out to me. Just one more thing that makes me wonder how he is involved. BH is also a chameleon who participates in more than one religion which is a FACT proven by pictures he has posted publicly and what is said about him by a former friend. For Unified Command to drop the investigation into these other characters was a monumental mistake. Heck, even NM spoke of “others being involved.” So did some LE. Even the locals tipped in BH and PW so much so that they were interviewed within days! But, conveniently the videos of those two and many other early interviews in the following weeks, if not months, were taped over. Just a mere oversight they would have us believe.

Unspent Bullet

Not a gun savvy individual here...

When it comes to the term unspent bullet is that specifically a bullet ejected from a gun or can it be a bullet that may have fallen out of a person's pocket by accident.

Is unspent just unused.

If ejected from a gun would the ejection have been noticeable whether held in the offender's hand or loosely placed elsewhere on him or near him.

There is no way possible he would have been able to hold both a gun and knife at the same time as killing both teens.

Libby's cell phone

To leave it behind he either didn't know she had recorded him or it may have just fallen out of one of his pockets when he was staging the crime scene.

The bullet travelled though his gun. So I highly doubt it fell from his pocket. Wasn’t the area leafy so maybe it dropped out and he just had no time to search it as he had more pressing matters at hand. MOOO

The FBI and other law enforcement agencies have funded studies that conclude unique marks are also imprinted on unfired rounds or shell casings as they are ejected from a handgun or rifle. That’s tool mark analysis in a nutshell.

Unspent is any cartridge not yet actually fired. The particular cartridge found at the crime scene had been loaded into a magazine, chambered, and ejected still unfired. This can be identified from certain dents and scratches.

This ejection of a fireable round from an already loaded and cocked weapon was intended to menace the panicking victims into compliance. The killer probably was unable to follow the flight to the ground because he was watching the girls for signs of bolting. Then he forgot all about it anyway. There was a lot going on.

The actual murder weapon (the knife) would have been in hiding right up until killing time.

Yes, and I'm sorry but it makes me chuckle. This Defense is something else.

Read the room Dudes, you are making things look so much worse for yourselves, but more importantly, your client aka the Defendant RA.

Speaking of the bullet. Is it standard procedure to load your weapon with gloves on?
My gun knowledge is limited to my family and friends and have always seen them load their weapons with bare hands.

He said he was unsure if it was recorded, 6 years later. At the time in 2017 all he's doing is interviewing a local CVS guy who told him about more potential witnesses, which he noted to look into. His job was to do the interview, write a report. With the flood of tips coming in generating mounds of reports, I find one of them being missfiled not very extraordinary. Richard Allen having a first name for his last name too probably was the root cause of the error in filing. AJMO

If he recorded it, why would he not have submitted it with his write up to Le? Wouldn’t that be part of his job? Also, how many interviews did he conduct? How many did he record (if any)? How many were filed erroneously that he wrote out (if any)? These are all questions I would want to know the answers to if I were on the jury.

RA gave DD the phone IMEI number back in 2017. It hasn't been stated what the CAST data is yet in entirety, I'm sure that will come out at trial with dueling experts.

I don't see RA giving up the actual phone (if any) he was using that day to LE, but it will hard to explain why it wasn't included in the numbers from a tower dump. It is possible to track a phone’s location using the IMEI number, as long as the device is connected to a network. If was checking stock quotes like he said, it would have had to been connected.

They did recover 10-12 phones, including burners from his home during the Search so who knows what they might find.

This particular gun has a magazine that holds 15 rounds and 1 in the chamber. I agree a normal gun shooter would not be wearing gloves to load the magazine one bullet at a time. Now if you're purposely trying not to leave fingerprints on the bullets say, at a crime scene, I could see that.

RA might not have had a full magazine in the gun at all. I think he was just using it as an intimidation factor with one bullet already being chambered which ejected when he half c ocked it or he left one at the scene between the girls purposely as a weird memento.

The LE SW said a bullet was found in a keepsake box on the dresser in the Master BR of his home. I wonder if they were the same make and manufacturer? If so, ut oh. Not a good look for Rick IMO.

It could have easily fallen out of a pocket. The tool markings on the unspent round just means at one time in its life, it was chambered and ejected from a weapon.

Of course, the markings wont say when that happened, so it could have been chambered a day, a month or a year prior to the person dropping it onto the ground.

An unspent ejected shell would show the ejector markings. The ISP Lab performed testing on that bullet and said it was a match to RA's SS according to the PCA. It also stated that ballistic science could be interpretive and depended upon the expertise of the examiner. I like to include full disclosure when stating something like this. Dueling experts for and against is my guess come trial time.

I think RA held the gun on the girls until he got them where he wanted them and probably had them tied up with something. He wouldn't have needed the gun any longer so he could have easily killed the girls one at a time with the knife.

Libby's cell phone being found underneath her according to the PCA and found underneath Abby according to the D's Franks Memo had me really thinking. I believe Libby was the main target, so he killed Abby first and spent more time focused on Libby.

How and where her phone could be like you said, it fell out of his pocket in a last minute rush to get out of the area or Libby was smart enough to hide it under her. Typing this out has literally given me goose bumps. How terrifying for these young girls. I am so very sorry they crossed path with this monster that day.

I think Libby hid the phone on purpose. She knew it held valuable evidence.
I have often wondered if she hid the bullet as well. She was such a brave girl.
It could account for him directing anger towards her. Perhaps she was not being so cooperative after he killed her best friend.
All this is speculation on my part.

The only thing is - if say she was killed somewhere else first (close by) then dragged to where she was found - it is highly unlikely the phone would have stayed with her like that.

I know Libby had more blood on her body compared to Abby, but I'm sure I read she wasn't killed there.

However, as there are conflicting documents about the crime scene and the two girls (seems so) - the trial is really the only place that that will all be made clear.

What is fact and what isn't?

We can ask all these questions but there are no answers yet because LE is honoring the gag order. If nothing is mentioned about it in the pretrials, we'll have to wait until October for the particulars...about many things.
