The Delphi Files Exposed — Inside the Incompetent Investigation That IGNORED Red Flags
In this episode, I’m pulling back every layer of the Delphi murders investigation — the layers the public was never supposed to see. The depositions. The affidavits. The early FBI involvement. The abandoned suspects. The suppressed evidence. The symbolic crime-scene elements no one wanted to touch. The Ron Logan raid the state now pretends never happened. The entire fractured internal world that led to one outcome: an investigation that didn’t point to Richard Allen… but collapsed into him.
This is not the sanitized version of the Delphi story. This is what happens when leadership breaks down, when agencies contradict each other under oath, when key behavioral assessments vanish from the record, and when major suspects — including the closest neighbor to the crime scene — are aggressively pursued and then quietly erased once they become inconvenient.
I walk you through the FBI’s raid on Ron Logan’s home and why the affidavit said there was probable cause he was involved. Why Odinist suspects were ignored. Why symbolic indicators were buried. Why the BAU’s ritual assessment disappeared. Why the bullet had no field documentation. Why investigators contradicted each other about the timeline, about the FBI’s involvement, about who was actually running the case.
This isn’t about guilt or innocence. This is about an investigation so fractured, so disorganized, and so unwilling to face its own failures that it needed an answer — any answer — after years of pressure. And that answer became Richard Allen.
This is Delphi without the PR spin. And it’s long past time the public saw it.

Holeman’s Testimony EXPOSES How Badly Delphi Was Investigated-WEEK IN REVIEW
In today’s episode, we take a hard, relentless look at Lieutenant Jerry Holeman’s testimony in the Delphi murders case — and what it reveals about the investigation that led to the conviction of Richard Allen. This isn’t speculation. This isn’t rumor. This is straight from the sworn record: the contradictions, the assumptions, the missing analysis, and the investigative gaps that no one watching the press conferences ever got to see.
Holeman was positioned as one of the state’s anchors — a senior Indiana State Police investigator expected to bring clarity and confidence to a deeply complex double-homicide case. Instead, his testimony exposes just how shaky the investigative foundation really was. Sticks placed on the bodies of Abby and Libby were dismissed as “camouflage,” even though they concealed nothing. Then, suddenly, the state floated a psychological term — “undoing” — that had never appeared in the investigative record, and Holman endorsed it without hesitation.
His certainty about a “single offender” wasn’t based on forensic proof. It came from a belief he stated on the stand: that in multi-offender crimes, “someone usually talks.” Yet the case file contains exactly that — a suspect making disturbing comments investigators inexplicably labeled “no further action.”
We dive into everything Holman didn’t explain: why symbolic elements were barely analyzed, why alternative suspects weren’t vetted, why forensic opportunities were missed, why the bullet lacked field documentation, why major investigative questions were replaced with assumptions, and why his testimony often stood in open conflict with other investigators on essential questions like the FBI’s role.
This isn’t about guilt or innocence. It’s about whether the investigation that shaped the entire Delphi narrative was thorough, consistent, or grounded in evidence. And Holman’s testimony makes it undeniably clear: the holes aren’t small. They’re foundational.
If you care about the truth in Delphi, this breakdown matters.

Delphi’s Ignored Leads — Why Investigators Dropped the Red Flags-WEEK IN REVIEW
Today, defense attorney Bob Motta and I take a hard look at one of the most troubling aspects of the Delphi murder investigation: the leads that were dismissed, minimized, or never meaningfully followed.
The depositions show something the public has never had a clear window into — investigators explaining why certain suspects weren’t pursued, why certain statements didn’t matter, why symbolic elements of the crime scene were ignored, and why potentially exculpatory information was either downplayed or outright forgotten.
In this conversation, Bob breaks down how two individuals tied to the Odinism angle — individuals whose behavior should have triggered deeper investigation — were inexplicably filed as “no further action.” One made a disturbing comment about whether his DNA would be found on the girls. The other posted imagery eerily similar to the crime scene and owned a .40-caliber handgun that was never seized or tested. These aren’t fringe details. These are red flags. Massive ones.
Yet the investigative record treats them as footnotes.
Bob and I go through why leads like these get dropped, how narrative lock affects decision-making, and what happens when the pressure to find “the right suspect” overshadows the obligation to explore every suspect. We cover the symbolic patterns on the girls’ bodies, the missing tree-origin analysis on the sticks, the late disclosure of the Odinism file, and the dissonance between what investigators told the public versus what they swore to in depositions.
This isn’t speculation. It’s not theory. It’s the investigators themselves, under oath, explaining why critical evidence was set aside — and whether that decision is now going to haunt the state on appeal.
If you want to understand the investigative blind spots in the Delphi case, this is the episode.

The Human Mistakes That Shaped Delphi — FBI Behavioral Expert Reveals All
In this episode, Robin Dreeke — former FBI Special Agent and one of the country’s top behavioral analysts — joins me to examine the Delphi murders investigation through the only lens that can truly explain the depositions: human error.
Evidence doesn’t make decisions. People do. And the depositions show a team of people overwhelmed, overloaded, and psychologically boxed in. Robin and I break down why investigators contradicted themselves, why memories shifted, why certain information was minimized, and why the entire system seemed to lose its grip on objectivity.
Why did one investigator insist the FBI was removed from the case while another had no recollection of it? How did a key BAU assessment about ritual indicators disappear from the internal record? Why did the affidavit reshape crucial witness descriptions? Why were symbolic elements at the crime scene left largely uninterpreted? Why did the investigative team lock onto a lone-offender theory when their own internal testimony doesn’t even agree with it?
Robin explains how narrative commitment forms inside a team under intense pressure — how the mind simplifies what is complex, how teams emotionally invest in a theory, and how anything that contradicts that theory begins to feel like a threat rather than a clue.
We talk about burnout, tunnel vision, cognitive contamination, leadership vacuums, fragmented communication, and the psychological “reward loop” investigators get from forcing clarity onto chaos.
This episode is not about conspiracy or blame. It’s about understanding how very human psychological patterns can quietly shape — and misshape — a homicide investigation. If you want to understand why the state’s clean narrative doesn’t match the messy reality

About Delphi Murders: Richard Allen & The Search For The Truth
Injustice isn’t just a possibility—it’s a reality. Delphi Murders: Richard Allen & The Search For The Truth dives deep into the shocking failures of the investigation into the brutal murders of Abby Williams and Liberty German. Hosted by Tony Brueski, this podcast unpacks the glaring inconsistencies, the ignored evidence, and the disturbing judicial process that led to the conviction of a man who may very well be innocent.
Why did investigators shift focus away from Ron Logan, the man whose property was the crime scene? Why was Richard Allen, with no direct physical evidence linking him to the crime, put on trial in what many are calling a sham? And how did law enforcement and prosecutors seemingly manipulate the narrative to fit a conclusion they needed rather than the truth?
We explore every angle, every lead that was dismissed, and every questionable move made by those in charge. Featuring exclusive interviews, expert analysis, and in-depth reporting, Delphi Murders: Richard Allen & The Search For The Truth is dedicated to uncovering what really happened—and holding those responsible accountable.
If you believe in justice, if you believe in truth, then you need to listen.
