IT AIN'T SO SIMPLE, OR IS IT?
posted April 29, 2026
Richard Allen called the tip line and freely told the cop that he parked at the CPS lot and walked past 3 girls, and they say they walked past him. He said he stood on the 1st platform on the High Monon Bridge, looked at the fish, and went home. An image of a car on the Hoosier Harvestore camera looks like his. Big deal. He told all that at his first Tip Line interview.
That does not prove he was the guy who showed up at the south end of the bridge in Libby's video.
Bridge Guy, whoever he is, could have hidden in the woods and never been on the trail. He could have watched and waited on the south or the north end. From the north end he could have come out of the trees to follow the girls, and from the south he could have walked past them on the bridge and U-turned to come back at them trapping them on the south end.
As for no witness seeing Richard Allen returning to his car, I would need to refresh myself with those few witnesses' testimony, but people sometimes do not pay attention and not look or remember whom they pass. If the curly-haired young looking guy that Betsy Blair described really was Richard Allen, Abby & Libby could have passed behind him as he looked at the fish below, and then he walked back toward his car about 150 feet, unseen by Betsy, and as she was crossing the Freedom Bridge, he took the side trail before the Freedom Bridge to his car parked at the CPS lot on 300 North road.
What the prosecution never explained was why and how did Richard Allen make or cause Libby to strip naked, and why and how did he put Libby's sports bra, jeans and sweatshirt onto Abby and why did he bother to carry other clothes from both girls to throw in the river? And why lay two long sticks lengthwise and another thick stick across the shoulders ( |-| ) on BOTH girls, not just use handfulls of nearby leaves and branches that would conceal them better?
Why waste all that time when he needs to escape? The Sun is shining and anyone could walk past.
And how did he control one girl while knifing the other? Photos at the trial showed that Abby's blood poured from her neck to her face. How does blood flow uphill? Did Richard Allen hold her upside down while she bled out, or hang her from a tree? How does he do that while threatening the other girl with a gun? Did he cause Abby to be upside down before, after, or during his fight to kill Libby? The coroner was asked and said he saw no rope marks from struggling while tied up, so that suggests he did not tie up one to kill the other. Even threatening both with a gun, once he stabs one the other will run or attack. How and why would Richard Allen do all that? And then tell his wife he was on the bridge that day, and call the Tip Line, and meet and do an interview with a policeman?
No, the whole thing seems like a job for a few strong people who have some reason for costuming their victims, and arranging their bodies, and collecting blood the way some religions ritualistically slaughter animals, and who had scheduled a safer time to do it, and perhaps believed that Feb. 13 to Feb. 14 was significant for that kind of thing.
And Libby's phone came back alive at 4:44 am, Feb. 14, 2017. The flashlights of the searchers had ended a few hours before. Good time to drive back, park uphill at the cemetery, bring the girls downhill, spill their blood and party down, turning on Libby's phone as they left, a teasing clue like a Batman villain would.
If Bridge Guy came from the north end of the bridge, he had been there before. I say this because North Bridge Guy walked across the bridge twice as fast as Abby. No one else was in the photos at 2:07 pm looking north and south on the bridge, yet by the 2:13pm video he has caught up walking completely across. He had walked it at least 3 times before, ( I know because I only got comfortable walking it on my third try) and the low place in the woods where the girls' bodies were found is unusual, and hidden on all sides by the height of the bowl-sides, likely BG knew about it; it is on Ron Logan's private property. Perhaps BG had hunted there before with RL's permission, or done other things there. Libby's phone exercise app stopped counting her steps at 2:32pm, about 19 minutes after her 2:13pm video of Bridge Guy and Abby on the south end of the bridge, followed by, "Down the hill," and someone plugged a cord into the phone hours later according to testimony.
Law Enforcement recorded over a lot of early interviews, accidentally.
There was disagreement with the early investigators who turned up the Odinist suspects. The FBI was booted out. Of the three original investigators one was ambushed and killed, another charged for false reporting on another case and discredited.
Odinist patch wearing prison guards were assigned to Richard Allen. Su***de buddy guards and inmates watched and harassed him constantly, reporting every thing he did and said - were their reports truthful?
His confession about the van was not from a recording, it was the unusually specific time line confession testified to by Monica Wala his prison psychologist who would write down her notes with Richard Allen, then type up her reports, then destroy her written notes. Why? She is reported to have listened to podcasts about the case on her 3 hour drives to the prison to see him. Would she destroy her notes, a bit of history? She admitted at trial that she got fired for poking into files she had no authority to go into.
There are gaping holes all over the prosecution's case.
I have wondered if Odinists were using Ron Logan's property for hunting and rituals with his permission, or him just not realizing it, and then they picked up Abby & Libby soon after they were down the hill, took them somewhere overnight, causing Libby's phone exercise app to stop counting steps, turned it off, or stuck that earpiece cord into it, then after the flashlights went dark, early in the morning, brought the girls back, alive, bound, parked at the cemetery, brought them down that hill to the bowl shaped recess, in the earth did their ceremony that involved stripping both girls (Abby's jeans, jacket and underwear were found in the creek), fighting with Libby and stabbing her at least 3 times in the neck, then holding or hanging Abby upside down to slit her throat once to ritualistically drain her blood. Then dressing Abby with Libby's clothes, because it was easier to do with bigger clothes, and putting Libby's phone in her shoe and under Abby to protect it, and turning it back on at 4:44am, so the police would find the girls, not realizing the Snapchat photos had been saved on the internet. Or seeing how shaky the video was and thinking it would not identify them.
I never heard if Libby's jeans and her own shoes that Abby was wearing were wet. That would tell us if they ever walked across the creek.
