Delphi Murders | Richard Allen’s defense team files motion to preserve evidence
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — An Indiana prisoner says two men confessed to the Delphi Murders to him in the New Castle Correctional Facility, where he is being held before Richard Allen was convicted for the murders in November.
Ricci Davis told one of Allen’s attorney, Andrew Baldwin, that Ron Logan confessed to being involved in the Delphi Murders and that two others were also involved.
Davis also told Baldwin that Kegan Kline revealed information to him about the Delphi Murders that Logan also revealed several years earlier.
Davis told Allen’s attorney he wrote letters to the prosecution before the trial explaining these confessions. The defense filed a motion to preserve evidence requesting these letters.
“I’m doing my due diligence to see if these letters were sent out,” Baldwin said. “We also have an independent witness that says the prosecution received them.”
This filing comes as a part of a back-and-forth between the prosecution and the defense.
The prosecution refuted Davis’s claims in an earlier filing saying he failed a lie detector test and provided incorrect information about the case.
Experts with the Murder Sheet podcast find the claims unbelievable. Áine Cain, a reporter and host of the Murder Sheet, said Monday, “I just don’t find that credible. It would be more powerful if it was from someone else in maybe different circumstances but coming from this guy at this late date. I’m very skeptical of this.”
Kevin Greenlee, an attorney and host of the Murder Sheet podcast, said, “When you look back at the history of this case the defense has a tendency to make extravagant charges, for lack of a better word, that don’t necessarily tend to pan out.”
Baldwin tells News 8 he wants to know if these letters to the prosecution exist and, if they do, why he was not given a copy before the trial. He says he has not heard back from Carroll County Prosecutor Nick McLeland.
Baldwin said, if this motion is successful, it could eventually lead to a new trial with this new evidence.
Allen was sentenced in December to 130 years for the 2017 deaths. He was found guilty for the deaths of 13-year-old Abigail “Abby” Williams and 14-year-old Liberty “Libby” German. The girls’ bodies were found near the Monon High Bridge near Delphi on Feb. 14, 2017, a day after they went missing.
