This is a true crime in real time update from True Crime Today and the Hidden Killers podcast.

Welcome to Hidden Killers. I'm Tony Bruske. Today we dive deep into the disturbing developments unfolding in the Delphi murders trial, a case that has haunted the town of Delphi for more than seven years.

This trial isn't just about evidence. It's about confessions,

60 of them, and the mind of the man accused Richard Allen. Imagine confessing to one of the

most horrifying crimes in recent memory, not once, but over 60 times to everyone from family

In this episode, we examine the shocking evidence unveiled in court.

We'll talk about the bullet supposedly

team working tirelessly to introduce doubt at every turn. As we peel back the layers, we confront

the unsettling reality. What if the answer isn't as straightforward as it seems?

The case remained unsolved for years casting a shadow over the community.

The courtroom has become the battleground for two opposing narratives,

one that casts Alan as the man responsible for these horrific crimes,

and another that questions whether the evidence truly points to him at all.

The trial took a pivotal turn when one of the most shocking pieces of evidence was introduced,

Alan's handwritten letter to the warden of Westville

Correctional Facility, where he expressed his willingness to confess to the murders.
