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

The Delphi murders trial will forever be remembered for its unsettling conclusion, but what if the

jury's decision was based on an incomplete picture? On its face, Richard Allen's conviction

seemed like justice served, a community finally getting answers.

Yet, beneath the surface, lies a murky web of missed opportunities and excluded evidence that could have dramatically altered the trial's trajectory.

Start with Kagan Kline, a name that sends shivers down the spine of anyone following this case.

Klein operated the Anthony Schott's social media account, a fake profile designed to lure young girls.

Just days before her death, Liberty German had communicated with this account.

Authorities grilled Klein for hours and his inconsistent statements raised more questions than answers.

But the jury, they never heard about Klein, his sinister account, or his proximity to the girls

in the days leading up to their murders. And then there's Ronald Logan, the man whose property

became a crime scene. The girl's bodies were

discovered mere yards from his home, and Logan had the audacity to provide a false alibi

for the day of the murders. The FBI's search warrant painted a damning picture. Logan's

history of violence and proximity to the crime made him a prime suspect.

But like Klein, Logan remained a ghost in the courtroom.

His name never uttered to the jury of perhaps the most jarring exclusion was the defense's

odinism theory.

The crime scene they argued bore hallmarks of a ritualistic killing, sticks arranged in ruin-like patterns,

symbols tied to an ancient Norse religion. The defense pointed fingers at Brad Holder and

Patrick Westfall, local men with ties to odinism. It was a provocative theory, one that could have

shifted the jury's focus to other potential suspects.
