Summary
For years, the timeline was treated as settled. But when you read the depositions, the cracks spread fast. Bob and I break down how witness statements were reshaped, how the search-warrant affidavit reframed crucial descriptions, and how timelines were tightened or loosened depending on who was writing the report. This isn’t conjecture — it’s sworn testimony.
Bob walks us through the most glaring issues: a witness who described a young man and an older car, yet was portrayed to the judge as having seen something “consistent” with Richard Allen; investigators who can’t agree on when the FBI was involved; conflicting testimony about the time of death; missing documentation around the bullet that ties Allen’s gun to the case; symbolic elements at the crime scene ignored or downplayed; and third-party suspects whose movements and statements were never thoroughly pursued.
This interview digs into why these inconsistencies matter — not emotionally, but legally. How does a conviction stand when the foundation beneath it shifts every time you compare one deposition to another? How does an affidavit remain valid when key information was omitted or altered? And how does the public reconcile the clean version of the case with the messy, disjointed reality revealed behind closed doors?
This isn’t about guilt or innocence — it’s about whether the system followed its own rules. And according to the depositions, the timeline wasn’t built on solid ground. It was built on selective memory, contradictory claims, and investigative shortcuts that now threaten the entire structure of the case.

| 0:00.0 | This is Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brewski, Stacey Cole, and Todd Michaels. |
| 0:07.9 | There are so many reasons in the Delphi murders case to question what reality is, what's going on. |
| 0:15.3 | We're talking with Bob Mata Defense Attorney and host of the podcast Defense Diaries about all of this as more and more documents |
| 0:23.8 | have begun to come to light depositions of the investigators breaking down so many of the |
| 0:30.5 | claims that were made so many of the ways this was steered internally one person person saying this, another saying that, sometimes not |
| 0:39.7 | seemingly knowing what the other one is saying. One of the big pieces in this case, Bob, as we |
| 0:45.9 | continue to break it down, is some of the early testimony. Obviously, there is the whole, oh, we |
| 0:53.2 | accidentally taped over our DVR with old |
| 0:57.2 | episodes of the Golden Girls or whatever they did when they, when they tip taped over their DVR |
| 1:02.0 | interviews with with early suspects. Like, damn, we needed more blanche. But what we have here in |
| 1:09.1 | some of these interviews, |
| 1:11.1 | in some of these depositions, what we're learning about, |
| 1:13.4 | and we've known for quite some time, |
| 1:15.6 | but makes zero sense to the public when they start paying attention to this, |
| 1:20.1 | is someone like Brad Holder, who on his Facebook page is allegedly, |
| 1:24.7 | I mean, I've seen it. |
| 1:25.4 | I mean, allegedly he has, it looks like people are acting out this murder scene. |
| 1:32.2 | I don't know any other way to put it, like two girls laying on the ground with the sticks on them. |
| 1:37.1 | You have his buddy Elvis Fields allegedly making this statement, if my spit is found on the girls, would I still be in trouble? |
| 1:45.5 | And these sort of things, they seem like they might be of some sort of revelance to a murder |
| 1:51.3 | investigation. What's your... You'd think. Yeah, I mean, to me... First of all, who asks a question |
| 1:59.9 | like that? |
