I know it is unlikely that Richard Allen was not the person the three girls saw due to his position on the trail and the timing. If he was there earlier and left at 1:30pm, then who was it that the three girls said they saw on the trail?Richard Allen revised his time he was on the trail durinf questioning to a time where the same girls were making a full loop. He was not there earlier.
They saw him, he saw them.
The other witness that saw RA on MHB platform 1 as she walked the whole loop from parking at Mears walikkng to MHB, MHB to FB, FB and back to Mears. No RA.
When she turned around at MHB to walk back toward FB she passed the girls on their way to MHB right where the trail bends slightly and opens a view to the bridge (midway between Mears and MHB.)
RA would have seen A&L as he left the platform, as he said to "sit on a bench."
The witness walked to FB turned and walked back to Mears. R A was not on the trail.
Yes, I agree that if the person who BB saw on platform 1 was RA then RA should have seen Abby and Libby as they were walking towards the Monon High Bridge that day.
It would have been nice to be able to substantiate his whereabouts with his phone's location. If his phone was never at the Monon High Bridge, it is sort of surprising he did not try to use it an alibi that he was not there either(even if he was). Why would he get rid of the phone from 2017 if it helps him establish that he might not have been there? Why not just leave the phone at home instead of giving DD the conservation officer, a burner phone's information?
I think the case is so confusing due to Richard Allen not acting like you would expect a normal criminal to act if they had decided to plan out a crime at a secluded bridge location. Each case and each person are different.
