What we are seeing is a defence team taking advantage of a bungled police investigation. Supt Doug Carter's strategic mistakes - like the two totally different sketches released 2 years apart - are now coming back to bite him on his arrogant, incompetent ass!
How many ritualistic cult murders are there each year? And how many sexually motivated murders? Cult killings are rare, sex killings are not. I don't buy the theory that multiple male 'Odinists' lay in wait for a victim to sacrifice in broad daylight, on a sunny February day, and happened upon teen friends Abby and Libby.
This crime has all the hallmarks of a lone wolf attack by an opportunist sex predator. The fact Libby was naked confirms it - a few branches laid over the bodies to disguise their location before the killer fled, proves nothing. Nor does a bloody palm print on a tree.
Richard Allen was, by his own admission, 'Bridge Guy' - the stalker Libby was sufficiently concerned about to film with her Smartphone shortly before she and Abby were abducted. In the days after the murders, when the world knew police possessed video of the killer following the girls over the Monon High Bridge, guess what? Richard Allen came forward and told a marshal he was at the crime scene that day, walking alone for no good reason at exactly the same time as Abby and Libby, and wearing exactly the same clothes as the stalker on the video. Though predictably, he denied having seen the girls (of course he did!)
There's no question Richard Allen is 'Bridge Guy'. He's pretty much admitted it. And that admission looks very much like a man establishing an alibi and trying to get ahead of the police, because he knows he was caught on camera. After his confession, Allen must have been nervously awaiting the police knock on the door. But he needn't have worried, because incredibly, it never came!
The Keystone Cops failed to complete the most basic police work and interview (and eliminate) everyone who was at the Monon nature trails that day - including Richard Allen, clearly the prime suspect since he is 'Bridge Guy'. Frankly if police had done their jobs, he'd have been arrested and charged with the murders within a week!
The bungled police investigation left this notorious double child murder unsolved for five years - and has allowed the defence the opportunity to come up with this off the wall alternate story, based on the multiple theories and suspects police chased to fill that five year information vacuum!
The defence would have us believe their client happened to be at the crime scene that day (walking alone for no reason), happened to follow Libby and Abby across the Monon High Bridge (the scene of their abduction,) and happened to be filmed by them. And yet, the defence maintains, the girls were killed by someone else entirely - or to be precise, more than one killer.
It simply beggars belief! Their claim that one person could not have overpowered and killed two terrified children, armed with a gun, is ludicrous. Of course that's entirely possible. The poor girls were taken by surprise, terrified and in shock, their instinct was to obey the armed abductor, in hopes he'd soon set them free. They, like everyone else, didn't realise what he was capable of.
Many killers are 'boring' - BTK, Crippen, etc etc. too many to list here. Being boring is not a defence!
