Richard Allen’s confessions have been central to testimony this week in the Delphi murders trial. Prosecutors noted that Allen confessed 61 times.
John Galipeau, the former warden of the Westville Correctional Facility, testified that Allen wrote him a note in 2023, stating, “I am ready to officially confess to killing Abby and Libby. I hope I get the opportunity to tell the families I’m sorry.” Galipeau said Allen admitted to disposing of a box cutter in a dumpster behind his workplace.
A clinical psychologist who examined Allen told the jury that Allen said his intentions were “sexual” and that he called himself “too much of a coward” to end his own life.
Dr. Monica Wala testified that during some of his confessions, Allen provided specific details about the crime that only the perpetrator would know
