  1. Agreed, from his first embarrassing media conference it was clear Supt Doug Carter was WAY out of his depth on this double child homicide, making mistake after mistake, and frankly, just not up to the job! His failed, five year murder investigation is the reason the defence can now make merry with various, contrasting theories and suspects, to fill that extended information vacuum while Carter & Co were kicking cans down the road. Cops confused everyone with two totally different sketches and criminal profiles of the killer - one middle aged, chubby and bearded, the other young, slim and clean shaven. The Keystone Cops' many mistakes over those five years might just create enough reasonable doubt to get Richard Allen off the hook at trial. We recently learned Carter's inexperience and incompetence, were matched by staggering arrogance - because rather than admit Indiana Police needed professional help from more specialised detectives, it transpires he dismissed the FBI early on, saying his boys were doing just fine. The man is a buffoon! Carter enjoyed those media conferences way too much. He struck poses, addressed the killer direct with a quivering lip and ridiculous statements like "You probably told someone you did this" (Er, probably not - killers rarely confess), suggested the murderer could be in the room at that very moment (he wasn't), and claimed he was 'hiding in plain sight'. Carter was wrong on every count - Richard Allen wasn't hiding in plain sight. He wasn't hiding at all! We subsequently learned Richard Allen as good as gave himself up within days of the murders, admitting he was there and even wearing the same clothes as 'Bridge Guy', because he knew Libby recorded him on video stalking her and Abi across the bridge. It was an obvious strategy to get his alibi in early, and get ahead of the damning video evidence against him that he was there that day. Libby taped him - and he WAS 'Bridge Guy'. Yet no one saw fit to invite Allen to come in for a formal police interview! If they had, he would have been recognised as 'Bridge Guy', and arrested and charged within a week. Out of just 3,000 Delphi residents - and less than 1,500 of them adult males - Carter & co took five years to find him. That incompetent fool couldn't find his own ass with both hands if someone shut the lights off! Establishing who was at the Monon High Nature trail on the day of the crime, interviewing and eliminating them, is the most basic kind of police work. The Keystone Cops failed to do that, allowing a highly dangerous man to remain at large for five years, and putting Libby and Abi's loved-ones through hell. And now that the likely guilty man is caught, their mistakes may yet get him out of jail!

  2. From his first embarrassing media conference it was clear Supt Doug Carter was WAY out of his depth on this double child homicide, making mistake after mistake, and frankly, just not up to the job! His famous claim the killer was 'hiding in plain sight' was baloney - he wasn't hiding at all! Richard Allen gave himself up within days of the murders, admitted he was at the Monon trails that very day and time, and even confirmed he was wearing the same clothes as 'Bridge Guy' - the prime suspect captured on Libby's Smartphone video. The failed, five year police investigation is the reason the defence can now make merry with various, contrasting theories and suspects, to fill that extended information vacuum created while Carter & Co were kicking cans down the road. Doug Carter failed to exploit the best evidence he had, ie Libby's video and audio of the killer, far and wide, as a matter of urgent priority while the day was fresh in public memories. Instead he released it in stages, slowly and grudgingly over time - first a still image, then a 2 second moving image, then a short snatch of audio, then a longer voice recording. This was clearly poor leadership from a cop who was clueless about best practice! And he shared no details of the crime that might jog people's memories and help identify the killer - not even the girls' cause of death. The amount Supt Carter kept close to the vest and refused to share was unprecedented in a murder case - and counterproductive to getting the tips he desperately needed to solve the notorious double child homicide. His reticence only exposed his own woeful inexperience in handling a crime of this magnitude. Cops don't solves crimes - the public does, as a senior British police officer once told me. But in order to help, the public needs information. People cannot help in a vacuum! Why didn't police tell the public the killer would likely be covered in blood? Soon after the murders, the killer's wife/family might recall him showering and washing clothes that day, for no apparent reason. Witnesses might have seen blood on a man in a weirdly inappropriate setting - or witnessed him washing in a stream. Two years later and no further forward, Indiana Police confused everyone with a brand new sketch and criminal profile of the killer - that looked nothing like 'Bridge Guy'! The first image, released weeks after the crime, had showed a middle aged, chubby and bearded man, resembling both the suspect on video, and Richard Allen. But the later sketch was totally different, showing a young, slim and clean shaven male, who many likened to Justin Timberlake. The two men could not have been more different On first revealing that new sketch at a media conference (so hastily arranged, that Abi and Libby's confused families weren't given proper notice), Supt Doug Carter emphasised that the two images, were of different two men. He was very clear on that point. What's more, he stated that the new image was the killer, and it replaced the first picture of the older, bearded guy - that original sketch could now be discarded, he said. But in interviews Carter gave after Richard Allen's arrest, when quizzed about those two starkly different sketches, he did a total about-turn and totally changed his story, saying the two sketches WERE the same man, ie, the killer! Don't even get me started on the desperate wild goose chase around the 'Anthony Shotts' fake online profile - which turned out to have zero connection to Abi and Libby's murders, and was yet another police mess up! We recently learned Carter's inexperience and incompetence, were matched by staggering arrogance. Because rather than admit Indiana Police needed professional help from more specialised detectives, it transpires Carter dismissed the FBI early on, insisting his boys were doing just fine. The man's a buffoon! Carter enjoyed those media conferences way too much. He struck poses, addressed the killer direct with a quivering lip, and dumb statements like "You probably told someone you did this" (Er, probably not - killers rarely confess), suggested the murderer could be in the room at that very moment (he wasn't), and claimed he was 'hiding in plain sight'. Carter was wrong on every count - Richard Allen wasn't hiding at all, and five years later we learned the shocking truth. Allen as good as gave himself up within days of the murders, admitting he was there, wearing the same clothes as 'Bridge Guy'. Allen knew Libby had recorded him on video stalking her and Abi across the bridge, before he abducted and killed them. So he decided to take the bull by the horns, thinking attack would be the best form of defence. It was an obvious strategy to get his alibi in early, and get ahead of the damning video evidence against him that he was there that day. Libby had taped him - he WAS 'Bridge Guy', therefore the prime suspect - and almost certainly the killer. Yet incredibly, after his admission, no one saw fit to invite Allen to come in for a formal police interview! If they had, he would have been recognised as 'Bridge Guy', and arrested and charged within a week - two weeks, at most. This audacious double child murder in broad daylight could and should have been solved almost immediately. Out of just 3,000 Delphi residents - less than 1,500 of them adult males - Carter & co took five years to find their prime suspect. Catching Allen, who lived and worked within a 5 minute drive of the crime scene, was akin to shooting fish in a barrel. Or it would have been, with a competent police force running the show. Doug Carter couldn't find his own ass with both hands, if someone shut the lights off! Establishing who was at the Monon High Nature trail on the day of the crime, and interviewing and eliminating them (or not eliminating them), is the most basic police work. Yet the Keystone Cops failed to complete that most fundamental task, allowing a highly dangerous man to remain at large for five years, and putting Libby and Abi's loved-ones through hell. And now that the prime suspect (and likely the killer) is in custody, those many, very serious police mistakes may yet create enough reasonable doubt in jurors' minds to get him out of jail!
