Summary

In what may be the most powerful statement yet in the Delphi murders case, retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to declare: “Richard Allen is innocent.” With exclusive insight and expert analysis, Dreeke examines the deeply troubling jailhouse “confessions” made by Allen — confessions riddled with confusion, contradictions, and clear signs of psychotic break and mental collapse.
This episode pulls no punches. Dreeke dismantles the prosecution's reliance on Allen’s recorded calls, exploring how extreme isolation, overmedication, and psychological pressure can lead to false confessions. He explains why Allen’s statements — including claims he killed people who never existed — should never be considered credible evidence in any trial. As the public scrambles to understand what’s happening behind closed doors in Delphi, Dreeke brings clarity from decades of experience inside the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Program.

If you’re following the Delphi case, researching Richard Allen, or questioning the criminal justice system’s treatment of the mentally ill, this is essential listening. Uncover the truth behind the viral headlines — and find out why one of the FBI’s top minds says we may be witnessing a tragic miscarriage of justice in real time.

0:32.5	And I'm also questioning the legitimacy of that bullet ever having those markings on it when it was put

0:41.6	It's a way they might have got those markings on there.

1:13.6	Robin, I know you've seen a little bit of it thus far. We're going to break some pieces down,
1:19.0	but just the 10,000 foot overview, what has been your reaction when you got a chance to see and hear those interrogations and those phone calls?
1:26.8	Yeah, so the first one I watched a bit of was the accusation about and the discussion around the bullet casing and the bullet.
1:34.8	And the first thing that struck me was Richard Allen's reaction to it.
1:39.4	Again, you cannot, you know, statement analysis and behavioral analysis and all these things for truth and veracity is 50-50 at best with the best in the world.
1:48.8	But I will tell you, his reaction was not the reaction of someone who was guilty.
1:55.5	Throughout the, throughout every interview and interrogation with him, throughout the accusation, the thing I'm generally looking for, and we should all look for it, we all pick up on,
2:04.1	is congruency of tempo.
2:05.7	In other words, does your body language, does your verbals, does everything maintain the same
