Beyond The Bridge: How A Clerical Error Led To A Delay In Justice In The Delphi Murders

In the 2017 "Delphi murders" investigation, a critical clerical error caused a substantial delay in the pursuit of justice. Richard Allen, now the prime suspect, was initially questioned by authorities shortly after the murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German. During this questioning, Allen provided information that should have warranted further investigation. However, due to a record-keeping mistake, the details of Allen’s statements were misfiled, resulting in the failure to properly flag him as a person of interest. This oversight allowed Allen to avoid further scrutiny, leaving the case largely stagnant for years despite ongoing public pressure to solve the murders.The error went unnoticed until 2022, when a fresh review of evidence and records uncovered the mistake, prompting a renewed focus on Allen. Investigators revisited his earlier statements and actions, which ultimately led to his arrest and subsequent charges in connection to the murders. This revelation not only reignited legal proceedings but also raised concerns about procedural flaws that may have compromised the case early on. The delay highlighted the impact of administrative errors on major criminal investigations, underscoring the importance of thorough documentation and review to prevent similar setbacks in achieving justice.(commercial at 7:35)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/delphi-murders-suspect-richard-allen-slipped-through-net-in-2017-due-to-clerical-error-podcasters-reveal/ar-AA14Npa3?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=e9f7cb259b8f45deb34ad0941a3d165aBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
