0:00.0 | This is Hidden Killers Week in review. |
0:02.4 | I look back at the most prolific stories of the week. |
0:06.2 | This is Hidden Killers with Tony Brewski. |
0:10.0 | When detective sat Richard Allen down to discuss the Delphi murders of Abby and Libby, |
0:17.4 | they didn't exactly invite him in for tea and biscuits. Instead, they tried every trick in the book to |
0:24.7 | break him down using flawed forensic claims, pressure, emotional appeals, flat out lies. It's |

1:24.7 | kind of interrogations. But it is pretty standard, you know, |
1:28.5 | across most law enforcement agencies. And it is designed to elicit cognitive and emotional |
1:34.7 | fatigue to completely break the person down. And at some point, a vulnerable person may just |
1:41.1 | agree because they want out of the pressure. |
1:47.2 | So they may say they did it when, in fact, they didn't. |
1:55.6 | And you never got a confession out of him while he was in a good place, in a sane, healthy mindset. |
