Every other witness has been raked over the coals online. Let's look at Richard Allen, as a witness.
He says he was there from 1:30-3:30, later changes it to noon to 1:30 but can't back the latter up with anything. And witnesses who WERE there during that time frame didn't report seeing him nor anyone dressed like him.
He said he left but didn't follow the trails back to his car. A witness saw a man dressed like him along the road on a route he could have taken.
He says he saw 3 juveniles, says babysitting, describes one with long hair. There was only one group at the time, with 4. Did he lie? Miscount? Not count the little one being babysat? Not see the 4th? It's not like he saw a different group of 3. They saw him. And importantly, they saw him as they were leaving, which puts him there shortly before Abby and Libby arrive and during BB's third loop.
Richard Allen put himself on the first platform which BB corroborated. And her course intersected Abby and Libby, as they approached the bridge.
Richard Allen claimed he did not see Abby and Libby. We could believe him. Or we could question that. He might have reason to lie. (Understatement.) He claimed he didn't cross the bridge, but sat on a bench. How did he miss the girls then? Was looking at his stock ticker and missed them walking past him?
He identified himself in the image released by LE, wearing the same clothes, and qualifying it, "wasn't me if it came from the girls' camera". If. That means that there are conditions under which it is him.
Just like the other witnesses, the veracity of their testimony is checked against corroboration.
Some of what Richard Allen described, and his movements during the critical time frame, are supported by corroboration.
And the ones that aren't? One has to ask why.
They directly implicate him for murder.
Prior to his confessions of course.
Lied about when he left. No one (besides Abby and Libby who filmed him) saw him between 2:14 and 3:30. Lied about not seeing Abby and Libby, when he was absolutely on course to see them, per BB's consistent testimony, verified by her fitness tracker and synced with the girls' arrival and movements.
Why lie about that if he's innocent?
But what about BG?
What can Richard Allen tell us about BG? The other witnesses had various vantage points and life experiences and described BG slightly differently but all agreed that the man they saw was the one in the released photo. Richard Allen also saw a man in blue jeans, wearing a blue or black Carhartt jacket. Himself. He saw no other people, nobody dressed like himself. No twin near the first platform. Just his sorry self.
The one who confessed to the murders.
The one who confessed to seeing the girls, claiming he thought they were older.
The one who confessed to intending to SA them.
The one who confessed to "waiting to make sure they didn't suffer" (there's a critical detail only the killer would know, that they didn't die immediately).
The one who confessed to using a boxcutter which ultimately accounted for the peculiarities of the girls' savage injuries.
The one who confessed to day drinking, who provided a timeline that fit, leaving Peru, buying beer, going home, then to the bridge.
The one who said he was interrupted by a vehicle he saw and heard, which caused him to panic and make adjustments.
The one who admitted to having his gun with him after all.
The one who was desperate to have validation from his wife and mother, despite what he'd done.
In the end, Richard Allen proved to be a tremendous witness for the State in criminal trial against Richard Allen.
Resulting in his own conviction.
130 years.
The same number of years he stole from two little girls.
He's the throwaway.
Abby and Libby should still be here, living their best lives, becoming everything they wanted to be.
