Summary
In 2017, witness Sarah Carbaugh told police she saw a man walking down the road wearing a tan jacket. He was muddy. In 2022, Detective Tony Liggett swore under oath that Carbaugh described the man as wearing a blue jacket - and that he was muddy and bloody. Tan became blue. Muddy became muddy and bloody. According to the defense, that's not a mistake. That's allegedly altering a witness statement to fit a narrative.
But it doesn't stop there. Betsy Blair - the eyewitness who saw a man on the High Bridge platform - gave a detailed description three days after the murders. Young, early twenties, medium build, brown poofy hair. She rated her sketch ten out of ten for accuracy. Richard Allen was 44 with short hair. He looks nothing like that sketch. The jury never saw it. And according to the appeal, Liggett never told the judge about it either.
Blair also told Liggett directly that she and Carbaugh saw two different people. The Indiana State Police agreed - they issued a press release in 2019 saying explicitly they were "not the same person." Then Allen gets arrested and suddenly they're the same guy.
The car descriptions don't match Allen's vehicle either. Blair described sharp angles, not black. Wilson described a purple PT Cruiser. Allen drove a black Ford Focus hatchback.
Without this warrant, no search. Without the search, no gun. Without the gun, no bullet match. Without the bullet match, no arrest. Without the arrest, no solitary. Without solitary, no confessions. The entire case flows from this document.
This episode breaks down every alleged misrepresentation in Detective Liggett's affidavit and why the defense is arguing the warrant should never have been signed.

| 0:07.2 | In 2017, a woman named Sarah Carbaugh told police she'd seen a man walking down |
| 0:13.2 | County Road 300 north near Delphi. |
| 0:15.8 | She described him as muddy and wearing a tan jacket. |
| 0:19.4 | In 2022, Detective Tony Liggott swore under oath, under oath, |
| 0:24.1 | that an affidavit used to search Richard Allen's home, the catalyst for this warrant, that Carbaugh |
| 0:32.6 | described the man as muddy and bloody wearing a blue jacket. |
| 0:40.6 | Tan became blue, muddy became muddy and bloody. |
| 0:43.3 | And according to the defense, that's not a typo. |
| 0:45.2 | It's not a memory lapse. |
| 0:49.5 | That's alleging that a detective changed a witness's statement in a sworn document to get a search warrant signed. |
| 0:57.0 | Yeah. Yeah. |
| 0:58.6 | Basically altering reality to fit your narrative to go after someone that really doesn't have |
| 1:06.4 | anything to go after, but because you've exhausted all your options and all the obvious choices here |
| 1:13.9 | for people to prosecute, in this case has a lot of them, that you made shit up to get that |
| 1:25.3 | war inside. That's the allegation. And if that's true, if the defense's |
| 1:30.5 | allegations hold up, then everything that followed was fruit of a poisoned tree. The gun they |
| 1:36.9 | seized, the bullet comparison that led to the arrest, the 13 months of solitary confinement. |
| 1:42.4 | The confessions from a man declared gravely disabled. All of it |
| 1:46.9 | flows from these lies from this warrant. Oh, we're going to go through all of it. |
