Help me understand!

New to this case and feel like I must be missing a lot of info. How is it possible this Allen guy never committed any other crimes? No history of anything? Nothing violent, not even a bar fight or something? And just escalated to double murder? And then never did it again? This is truly mind blowing to me. I’m sure this guy did it but it’s just so shocking this guy went from zero to double homicide.

And what is the suspected motive? He just always wanted to do it and finally had the opportunity? He snapped?

I’m so very confused.

RA is a very complex puzzle psychologically that can't really be solved but the best we can do is speculate. I do think there is a chance he did other stuff previously before Delphi that hasn't come to light, but if so I think it was a while back and not recently before 2017. And don't listen to the people here still claiming innocence, they won't be able to explain why he knew things only the killer could know, why he blatantly lied about the time he was on the trail after realizing it would portray guilt, and why his phone from February 2017 is missing despite the fact that he saved every other phone he had owned over the past 24 years besides that one.

He handed over the phone to law enforcement willingly when he came forward and they got the IMEI number. His wife said that phone was run over with a mower.

The tip sheet is the only evidence of his original interview. It says Mr. Allen was on the trail between 13:30-15:30. We don’t actually know what time he said but that is stating he was there in the window they were concerned with. In his interview over 5 years later he said he was there around noon and left around 1:30. This isn’t inconsistent and how would anyone remember the exact time 5 years later?

As for knowing only things the killer would know, the only basis for that is the word of his prison psychologist who was unethical. She was heavily into the case and frequented all the Facebook groups and YouTube channels. She should never have been treating him. Besides that everyone knew about Brad Weber’s van from the start and it’s on video arriving after the state claims the girls were already dead.

wrong! all the rumors about BW until Allen's arrest is that he arrived at 3:30. The defence even planned to bring a witness to testify that BW was nowhere near its property while the crime was developing as he was serving his atm machines. Reason being to discredit RA's confession about the van. Video of him arriving at 2:44 though settled that. None knew what car he drove either.But Ra knew.

knew what car, where it was , and the general time of arrival.

And that's the smoking gun.

Bang!

Ok so you are in agreement that the State presented false testimony? It doesn’t matter one bit under Napue/Glossip if the defense got it wrong. It only matters that the State is charged with knowing it.

The state presented a timeline that a 244 arrival blows up.

Allen's lawyers would have attempted to discredit Weber's testimony by using one investicator"s intuition he came later than he claimed.

He didn't actually have anyevidencehe lie d . cause he didn't. he drove by while the crime was ongoing asheclaimed. Provenly. tell tale Allen confessed once more that he was the murderer. not only he again predicted details of the crime only the murderer would know, like that he was interrupted and by what:

--a car

-type of car

--Direction

-time

-place

but Allen's psychics abilities also correctly reported on obscureDetails of the crime, like that the girls and the perpetrator stoppedAt the south side where the assault occured, and then later they crossed the creek where they were murdered.

Getting all the details of BG correct, from the time he arrived to the time he departed makesAllen look like he was following BG behind him for 2hours. Oh, wait he was, cause he is BG.

Smoking gun!

Bang!
