0:00.0	This is Hidden Killers Week in review.
0:02.4	I look back at the most prolific stories of the week.
0:06.2	This is Hidden Killers with Tony Brewski.
0:10.0	When detective sat Richard Allen down to discuss the Delphi murders of Abby and Libby,
0:17.4	they didn't exactly invite him in for tea and biscuits. Instead, they tried every trick in the book to
0:24.7	break him down using flawed forensic claims, pressure, emotional appeals, flat out lies. It's

1:24.7	kind of interrogations. But it is pretty standard, you know,
1:28.5	across most law enforcement agencies. And it is designed to elicit cognitive and emotional
1:34.7	fatigue to completely break the person down. And at some point, a vulnerable person may just
1:41.1	agree because they want out of the pressure.
1:47.2	So they may say they did it when, in fact, they didn't.
1:55.6	And you never got a confession out of him while he was in a good place, in a sane, healthy mindset.
2:00.4	But the argument is, oh, well, he confessed later in those phone calls.
