In this opening episode of our multi-part series on Richard Allen’s appeal in the Delphi murders case, we dive into the first 29 pages of the 113-page Appellant’s Brief filed on December 17, 2025.

We begin with an overview of the case: the 2017 murders of Abby Williams and Libby German, Richard Allen’s 2022 arrest, his conviction after a high-profile 2024 trial, and the 130-year sentence he is now appealing.

The brief’s core arguments introduced in this section focus on two major claims of reversible error:

1. The search of Allen’s home was based on a flawed warrant affidavit containing reckless omissions and misstatements by law enforcement—potentially violating the Fourth Amendment and requiring suppression of key evidence (including discussion of whether Allen should at least receive a full Franks hearing).
2. Allen’s multiple confessions—made while held in prolonged solitary confinement under extreme conditions—were involuntary, the product of psychological coercion and grave mental disability, rendering them inadmissible under both the U.S. and Indiana Constitutions.

We examine the table of contents, statements of issues, case background, and the opening portions of the legal argument, setting the stage for the defense’s claim that critical evidence should never have reached the jury.

Join us as we unpack the constitutional questions at the heart of Allen’s bid for a new trial. Perfect for true-crime listeners following every twist in one of America’s most watched cases.

(Part 2 coming soon: deeper into the confessions, solitary confinement evidence, and the defense’s battle to present alternative theories.)

Dive into this chilling episode of 69 South, where hosts Chop and Julie expose the dark world of 764—a decentralized network of violent extremists founded by Texas teen Bradley Chance Cadenhead. From his fractured childhood in Stephenville, riddled with divorce, bullying, and untreated bipolar disorder and anxiety, to founding a "cult-like" group blending nihilism, Satanism, and neo-Nazi O9A ideology. Learn how 764 grooms vulnerable kids aged 10-17 on platforms like Discord, Telegram, Roblox, Minecraft, Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok, coercing them into self-harm, animal abuse, sextortion, and CSAM via blackmail and "cut signs."

Based on Erath County court docs (case JV02023 and indictment 22CRDC-00016), forensic evidence of hundreds of graphic files on Bradley's devices, and his 80-year sentence for child pornography possession/promotion, we timeline his 2021 arrest to ongoing FBI probes of 350+ subjects in 2026. Hear gut-wrenching stories from parents like Colby Taylor (son Jay's coerced suicide) and Christina (daughter's mental breakdown), plus survivor accounts of grooming turning to terror.

Chop and Julie deliver essential tips for parents: spot signs like unexplained cuts, secretive app use, gore obsession; how predators build trust then extort "tributes"; and device checks for coded terms. Resources: FBI Parents Guide, NCMEC CyberTipline, DHS Know2Protect.

Trigger warning: Child exploitation, self-harm, suicide. Discretion advised.

In this chilling episode, we delve into the disturbing case of Eric Parks, where one investigation uncovers his alleged grooming of underage minors through explicit images he sent them—leading to a brutal vigilante-style beating by a group of enraged teens. A separate probe, sparked by ICAC tips, reveals a massive hidden cache of hundreds of child sexual abuse images, including graphic depictions of prepubescent children, explicit self-photos, and even AI-generated CSAM. Explore the dual affidavits that expose a predator's dark secrets and the shocking consequences that followed.

All defendants are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

A toddler rushed into surgery. A five-year-old hidden under the covers. A house where the evidence spoke louder than any excuse. We take you inside the Shelby County case against Johnny Douglas Knuckles, tracing the exact details that dismantled the “play slide” story—eight centimeters of lacerations, blood-soaked bedding, wipes near the adult’s side of the bed, and a timeline that refused to bend. The medical facts frame the truth, and the home search seals it.

We talk through the mother’s initial denial, her later account of finding the accused nude near the child, and the hours lost to fear and manipulation. Then we walk carefully through the forensic interviews: a five-year-old describing repeated harm, a three-year-old naming the bleeding, a four-year-old recounting what he heard with heartbreaking clarity. Their statements align with the physical evidence and show why trained interviewers use open-ended methods to protect accuracy. Along the way, we unpack the accused’s interview—drinking, memory lapses, medical excuses, and a stunning attempt to shift blame onto a child—and why those claims collapse against measurements, injuries, and logic.

This is a conversation about accountability: who commits the act, who enables it, and who delays the call for help. We explore mandatory reporting, neglect, and the legal pathways that follow when a parent fails to protect. We also step beyond the case to talk about prevention: recognizing red flags, documenting concerns, calling or texting 911, and keeping children within line of sight when risk rises. Most of all, we return to the children—what trauma-informed recovery looks like, why consistency matters, and how communities can stand in the gap when systems falter.

A glossy fitness brand, a garage full of gear, and a following that cheered every rep—then the police report landed. We walk you through how a social media influencer known for DIY gym builds is now facing multiple child seduction charges, piecing together the timeline from first officer contact to interviews, warrants, and seized devices. From unplugged Ring cameras to alleged iCloud access attempts, we examine the digital breadcrumbs that shaped the investigation and why fans struggled to square a clean image with the mounting evidence.

We also demystify the law. Indiana’s age of consent is 16, but that doesn’t grant a pass to adults in positions of authority. A stepparent’s role makes “consent” legally irrelevant under child seduction statutes, and alcohol further undermines capacity. We explain how these rules protect teens in blended families, where power, proximity, and silence can replace overt force. You’ll hear how detectives approached witness statements, what potential DNA recovery means for a case like this, and how bond terms, no-contact orders, and GPS monitoring work when allegations involve a household.

As parents, we share concrete, non-alarmist steps for safeguarding kids: device checks that actually matter, app and cloud access to watch, and ways to talk about grooming and coercion without scaring your teen into secrecy. We also reflect on the cost of parasocial loyalty, and why it’s vital to prioritize character over follower counts when someone gains access to your home or your trust.

Start with the verdict, then rewind the tape. We walk you through the Karen Reed case from indictments to a hung jury to a full acquittal, and into the sweeping civil rights lawsuit that alleges malicious prosecution, planted evidence, phone and video mishandling, and supervisory failures that set the investigation on a single track. No legalese, no fluff—just a clear timeline, the key players, and why certain decisions mattered far more than the headlines suggested.

We dig into the forensic questions that shaped the narrative: what taillight fragments on clothing mean without airtight chain of custody, how injury patterns can challenge a vehicle‑strike theory, and why securing a scene, devices, and surveillance isn’t bureaucratic box‑checking but the backbone of probable cause. You’ll hear how internal discipline and transfers rippled out after the first trial, the role alleged conflicts and personal ties may have played, and what a move to federal court could change about transparency and pace.

Beyond the courtroom, there’s a human cost. Reed lost work, insurance, her home, and years to legal fights while managing Crohn’s disease and multiple sclerosis. We talk about the real economics of defense—experts, filings, discovery—and how quickly reputations shatter when process breaks. If you follow true crime, police accountability, or just care about fair investigations, this story is a masterclass in why procedures, chain of custody, and unbiased oversight are non‑negotiable.

Listen for a focused breakdown of the timeline, the civil claims under Section 1983 and the Massachusetts Civil Rights Act, and what damages and outcomes might look like next.

What if the case everyone thinks is simple starts to unravel the moment you tug on the first thread? We dive into part two of our Karen Read deep-dive and walk through the decisions that shaped the investigation: off-site interviews with no recordings, a home that wasn’t searched for DNA, and a rapid focus on a single suspect while a circle of insiders went lightly probed. It’s a story about process—when it works, when it fails, and how bias can harden into “fact” before evidence gets a fair say.

We follow the taillight from intact to shattered and into the Sallyport, pausing on the missing 42 minutes of video and the alleged inversion that flipped left and right. We get into chain of custody delays, glass fragments that don’t match the supposed source, and the uneasy timeline of when the SUV was actually seized. The digital trail raises even more alarms: group chats that read like coordinated messaging, late-night calls, and phones destroyed after a preservation order—complete with a SIM card cut and tossed in separate dumpsters. Meanwhile, a separate federal probe surfaces footage and contradictions that should have been on the table sooner.

Then there’s the witness who changes the night: a snowplow driver whose route, timestamps, and memory of a Ford Edge parked where the body would later be found complicate the lawn narrative. Layer in familial ties, undisclosed relationships, and policy breaches—from cruiser drinking to withheld surveillance—and the bigger questions land hard. If the medical examiner won’t call it a homicide, why were serious charges rushed? If justice is blind, why did so much go unseen?

Stream now for a step-by-step breakdown of the alleged investigative gaps, the forensic red flags, and the moments where accountability could have changed the story. If this episode moves you, share it with a friend, hit follow, and leave a review with the one question you want answered next.
