Investigators reviewingpriort'ms encountered t'm narrativefrom an oflicer who interviewedRichard
Allen in 201 7. That narrative stated: Mr. Allen was on the trail between 1330-1530. Heparked at the old Farm Bureau building and walked to the new Freedom Bridge. While at the Freedom Bridge he saw threefemales. He noted one was taller and had brown or black ha'ir. He did notremember descrFQtion nor did he speak with them. He walkedfrom the Freedom Bridge to theHigh Bridge. He did not
see anybody, although he stated he was watching stock ticker on hisphone as he walked He stated there were vehiclesparked at the High Bridge trail head, however did notpay
attention to them. He did not take anyphotos or video.
His cellphone did not list anMI but did have thefollowirtg: MED-256 691 463 100 153 495 MEIDHEX-9900247025797 Potentialfollow information: Who were the three girls walking in the area ofFreedom
Bridge?
Investigators believe Mr: Allen was referring to theformer ChildProtective Services building as therewas not Farm Bureau building in the area nor had there been. Investigators believe thefemales he saw
included and due to the time they Were leaving the trail, the time he reportedgetting to
the trail, and the descriptions
the threefemales gave.
Investigators discoveredRichardAllen owned two vehicles in 2017 2016 black FordFocus and
2006 gray Ford 500. Investigators observed vehicle thatresembledAllen's 2016 FordFocus on the
Hoosier Harvestore video at 1:27p.m traveling westbound on CR 300 North infront of
the Hoosier
Harvestore, which coincided with his statement that he arrived around 1:30p.rn. at the trails.
Investigators note witnesses described the vehicleparked at theformer ChildProtective Services Building
as PT Cruiser; small SIIV, or "Smart" car. Investigators believe those descriptions are similar in nature
to 2016 Ford Focus.
On October 13", 2022 RichardAllen was interviewed again by investigators. He advised he was on the
trails on February 13'", 2017. He statedhe sawjuvenile girls on the trails east ofFreedom Bridge and
that he went onto the Monon High Bridge. RichardAllenfurther stated he went out onto the Monon High
Bridge to watch thefish. Later in his statement, he said he walked out to thefirstplatform on the bridge.
He stated he then walked back, sat on bench on the trail and then left. He stated heparked his car on
the side ofan old building. He told investigators
that he was wearing bluejeans and blue or black
Carharttjacket with hood. He advised he may have been wearing some {use ofhead covering as well.
Hefurther claimed he saw no one else exceptfor
thejuvenile girls he saw east of
the Freedom Bridge. He told investigators
that he ownsfirearms and they are at his home.
Richard Allen's wtfe, KathyAllen, also spoke to investigators. She confirmed thatRichard did have
guns and knives at the residence. She also stated thatRichardstill owns blue Carharttjacket.
On October 13'", 2022, Investigators executed search warrant ofRichardAllen's residence at 1967
North Whiteman Drive, Delphi, Carroll Countjz, Indiana. Among other items, oflicers
locatedjackets,
boots, knives andfirearms, including Sig Sauer, ModelP226, .40 caliberpistol with serial number 625
627.
Benveen October 14'", 2022 and October 19'", 2022 the Indiana State Police Laboratoryperformed an
analysis on Allenis Sig Sauer ModelP226. Ihe Laboratoryperformed physical examination and
classification of
thefirearm,function test, barrel and overall length measurement, testfiring, ammunition
component characterization, microscopic comparlson, andNIBIN. The Laboratory determined the
'unspentround located within twofeet of Victim 2's body had been cycled through RichardM. AHen's Sig
Sauer Model P226. The Laboratory remarked: An identification opinion is reached when the evidence ahibim' an agreement ofclass
characteristics and suflicient agreement of
individual marks. Sufl'icient agreement
is
related to the significant duplication ofrandom striated/impressed marks as evidenced by
the correspondence of pattern or combination ofpatterns ofsurface contours. The
interpretation ofidentification is subjective in nature, and based on relevant scientific-
research and the reporting examiners training and experience.
Investigators
then ran thefirearm andfound that thefirearm waspurchased byRichardAllen in 2001.
RichardAllen voluntarily came to the Indiana State Policepost on October 26'", 2022. He spoke with
investigators and stated that he never allowed anyone
to use or borrow the Sig Sauer ModelP226firearm. When asked about the unspent bullet, he did not have an explanation ofwhy the bullet wasfound between
the bodies.of.Wctim and Victim 2. He again admitted that he was on the trail but denied knowing Victim
