Police in Moscow, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/idaho">Idaho</a>, have released information about a man believed to possibly be the person one of the four University of Idaho stabbing victims referred to as a “stalker.”
The Moscow Police Department made clear that it does not believe the man involved in this incident is related to the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Ethan Chapin, 20; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Madison Mogen, 21.
“Using tips and leads, investigators have identified an incident involving Kaylee at a local business, which may have been the stalker reference she made to friends and family,” police wrote in a Monday <a href="https://www.ci.moscow.id.us/DocumentCenter/View/24875/12-05-22-Moscow-Homicide-Update">press release</a>. “In mid-October, two males were seen inside a local business; they parted ways, and one male appeared to follow Kaylee inside the business and as she exited to walk toward her car. The male turned away, and it did not appear he made any contact with her.”
“Detectives contacted both males and learned the two were attempting to meet women at the business, this was corroborated through additional investigation. Based on available information, detectives believe this was an isolated incident and not an ongoing pattern of stalking. No evidence suggests the two males were involved in the murders,” police added.

The police department noted that investigators are continuing to look into information regarding Kaylee potentially having a stalker and are requesting the public’s help.
Police have been looking into a possible stalker angle since early on in the investigation, The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-looking-into-tips-claiming-one-of-university-of-idaho-victims-had-a-stalker-but-cant-verify">reported</a>. On November 22, investigators <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=153220767439596&amp;set=a.137123765715963">said</a> that they had received “hundreds of pieces of information” relating to claims that Goncalves may have had a stalker. The investigators, however, have “not been able to verify or identify a stalker.”
Police responded to a call around noon on November 13 about an unconscious person at an off-campus residence. When they arrived, they found the four University of Idaho students had been stabbed to death.
Police still have not named any suspects or found the murder weapon.
Authorities have also said they do not believe that the two surviving roommates – who apparently did not hear the murders take place – are involved in the crimes. They also do not believe a man observed in surveillance video outside a food truck visited by Goncalves and Mogen the night of the murders was involved, nor was a driver who drove the women home.
Police are looking for any outside surveillance video taken between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. on November 13 – the morning of the murders – from local businesses and residences in the area. They’ve requested all videos, even if there doesn’t appear to be any motion in them. Police are also asking for any tips or surveillance video about “any observed suspicious behavior” on the night of the murders, particularly in the areas where the students had been.
Police <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/idaho-police-further-clarify-what-they-mean-by-targeted-attack-in-murder-of-four-university-of-idaho-students">still contend</a> that the attack was “targeted” but do not know whether “the target was the residence or if it was the occupants.”

Several months after former Senate staffer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tara-reade">Tara Reade</a> accused <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a> of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/sexual-assault">sexual assault</a>, the Department of Justice (<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/doj">DOJ</a>) issued a subpoena to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/twitter">Twitter</a> demanding personal information on her accounts, including credit card or bank account numbers.
The subpoena was only <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2022/12/02/doj-tara-reade-twitter-joe-biden-sexual-assault-allegations/">recently revealed</a> by the Daily Caller, which obtained emails and documents relating to the incident showing the DOJ asked Twitter to testify in front of a grand jury on December 16, 2020, to provide “all subscriber information” for Reade’s accounts. The information was requested of two accounts belonging to Reade, including @ReadeAlexandra and @TaraMcCabe.
The DOJ requested the following information from the accounts, according to the Caller:
<ol>
<li>Subscriber name;</li>
<li>Address;</li>
<li>Records of session times and durations, to include attempted/failed/unauthenticated logins;</li>
<li>Length of service (including start date) and types of service utilized;</li>
<li>Telephone or instrument number or other subscriber number or identity, including any temporarily assigned network address; and</li>
<li>Means and source of payment for such service (including any credit card or bank account number)</li>
</ol>
Reade told the Caller that she didn’t “know why” the DOJ requested the information.

“Other than coming forward about Joe Biden, there would be no reason for them to do that,” she told the outlet.
The grand jury was scheduled for July 9, 2020, but Hayden Schottlaender, a Perkins Coie lawyer representing Twitter, didn’t reach out to Reade until December 8, 2020, to tell her about the subpoena.
Reade told the Caller that Schottlaender spoke to her on the phone that day, telling her Twitter tried to fight the subpoena in court but “then had to file a motion” to let her know it “was happening.” Schottlaender followed up that conversation with an email obtained by the Caller.
“To recap our conversations to date, I represent Twitter and have contacted you to inform you that Twitter received the attached subpoena from the United States Department of Justice, seeking data related to your Twitter account(s). The subpoena issues in a sealed proceeding,” Schottlaender wrote in the email.
“As I mentioned, Twitter intends to comply with this subpoena on December 16, 2020, unless it receives notice from you that a motion to quash or otherwise invalidate this subpoena has been filed. If you do file any such motions, please send a copy directly to me at this email address. If, on the other hand, you have no concerns with Twitter producing the requested data, please similarly let me know,” Schottlaender added.
Earlier in 2020, Reade said she had filed a police report in April 2020 alleging Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993 while he was a senator. Reade <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/schow-the-metoo-women-the-democratic-party-doesnt-care-about">reportedly</a> told friends of Biden’s alleged assault that year. Her story has apparently evolved over time, however, from sexual harassment to assault, and her claim that Biden assaulted her in a “side area” somewhere between Biden’s old Senate office and the gym isn’t possible, as no such side area exists in that space.

Police in Moscow, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/idaho">Idaho</a>, have hired a private security company to protect the crime scene where four University of Idaho <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/students">students</a> were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/homicide">murdered</a> in mid-November.
In <a href="https://www.ci.moscow.id.us/DocumentCenter/View/24812/12-02-2022-Moscow-Homicide-Update?bidId=">a press release</a> on Saturday, the Moscow Police Department said that it had contracted the private security company “to provide scene security to free up patrol resources,” adding that the “scene remains under police control.”
The police department also dispelled additional speculation that arose during the investigation, including the existence of a sixth person on the lease of the home where the four students were murdered. That person was confirmed to have moved out before the school year started and wasn’t in the home when the murders occurred. Police also stated they do not believe this individual was involved in the crime.
Police further dismissed an incident that occurred in the town the same night as the murders, saying this was an alcohol offense and not related to the killings.

Idaho Police Hire Private Security To Protect University Of Idaho Slayings Crime Scene

In March 1998, 19-year-old Jennifer Brinkman’s father came back from a vacation to find she had been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/murder">murdered</a> with an axe in her bedroom at their Marysville, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/washington">Washington</a>, home.
For nearly a quarter of a century, no one had been arrested in connection to Brinkman’s murder — until now.
On November 28, 2022, Jeffrey Paul Premo, 52, was arrested and charged with Brinkman’s murder.
“It’s one of those things where it never leaves your thought process because it continues to be unsolved,” Marysville Police Department Commander Robb Lamoureux, who was the original detective assigned to Brinkman’s murder, said at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MarysvilleWAPolice/videos/1137485580225893/">a press conference</a> on Tuesday. “It wasn’t until yesterday when we made the arrest and I was sitting at home thinking about it that it really hit that we’ve got a conclusion to this and we’re finally able to put it on a shelf and have some closure not only for us as investigators who have been involved in it but the family and the community.”
Brinkman had stayed home when her father went on vacation to California in 1998, local paper The Telegraph <a href="https://www.macon.com/news/nation-world/national/article269375862.html">reported</a>. The axe used to kill her had been left at the scene and police were able to collect DNA, but technology at the time wasn’t able to find a match.
But advancements in DNA technology made it possible to match the DNA collected from the axe to Premo, The Seattle Times <a href="https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/law-justice/suspect-arrested-in-1998-cold-case-killing-of-young-marysville-woman/">reported</a>.
Police knew that Brinkman used phone chat lines and dating sites. Detective Sgt. James Maples said at the press conference this week that she met Premo on one of these chat lines.
“Jennifer was a social individual,” Maples said. “She encouraged conversation as she would go to the library, walk around town. She engaged in telephone chat lines, dating sites, and actively sought companionship from people.”
Premo became a person of interest early in the investigation and initially denied knowing Brinkman, but back in 1998 police found a letter he had written to the victim, proving they had spoken prior to her murder. Police recently sent DNA from the crime scene to Parabon NanoLabs, which provides DNA forensic services to law enforcement. The company produced three possible suspects, one of whom was Premo. Police obtained a search warrant and collected Premo’s DNA to connect him to the crime, which, in addition to the letter and other evidence, provided probable cause for Premo’s arrest.
Brinkman’s father died in 2013, never knowing who murdered his daughter. Brinkman’s mother, who has not been named in media reports, was reportedly overwhelmed when she learned about Premo’s arrest, Commander Lamoureux said at the press conference.

Police in Moscow, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/idaho" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Idaho</a>, on Thursday once again backtracked on whether the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/homicide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">murder</a> of four University of Idaho <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/students" target="_blank" rel="noopener">students</a> was a “targeted attack.”
This time, however, police said they are unsure whether it was the students or the residence that was targeted.
“We remain consistent in our belief that this was a targeted attack, but investigators have not concluded if the target was the residence or if it was the occupants,” police said in <a href="https://www.ci.moscow.id.us/DocumentCenter/View/24808/12-01-22-Moscow-Homicide-Update" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a press release</a>.
The clarification comes one day after the police department said it <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/idaho-police-now-say-they-dont-know-if-murdered-university-of-idaho-students-were-targeted" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wasn’t sure</a> if the murdered students were specifically targeted in the attack.
The Moscow Police Department <a href="https://www.ci.moscow.id.us/DocumentCenter/View/24784/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responded</a> Wednesday to a statement made by the Latah County Prosecutor’s Office which stated that “the suspect(s) specifically looked at this residence, and that one or more of the occupants were undoubtedly targeted.”
“We have spoken with the Latah County Prosecutor’s Office and identified this was a miscommunication,” the department said. “Detectives do not currently know if the residence or any occupants were specifically targeted but continue to investigate.”
That itself was a departure from the department’s previous statements indicating that the homicides were a “targeted” attack. It wasn’t the first time police have reversed course from prior statements.
When the homicides were first reported, police said in press releases that, in addition to being a targeted attack, there was no ongoing threat to the community. On November 16, however, Moscow Police Chief James Fry <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/idaho-police-reverse-course-now-cannot-say-that-there-is-no-threat-to-the-community-in-case-of-four-murdered-students">acknowledged</a> that there may be a threat to the community since the police still did not have a person of interest connected to the slayings.
“We cannot say that there is no threat to the community,” Fry said at a press conference. “There is a threat out there, possibly.”
That same day, Fry insisted the attack was targeted before police appeared to pivot and say they were unsure if the attacks were targeted.
It’s been more than two weeks since Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Ethan Chapin, 20; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Madison Mogen, 21, were murdered in their off-campus residence – and police still have not named any suspects or found the murder weapon.

Idaho Police Further Clarify What They Mean By ‘Targeted Attack’ In Murder Of Four University Of Idaho Students

A notorious <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/drugs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drug</a> trafficker serving a 49-year sentence in the United States has reportedly disappeared from the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ online register of inmates.
On Wednesday, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador asked the U.S. to reveal where Edgar Valdez Villarreal, also known as “La Barbie” due to his light complexion, was being kept since he’s seemingly disappeared from the U.S. prison register, CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/la-barbie-drug-lord-whereabouts-unknown-mexico-presses-us-answers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
&#8220;The United States government has to clear it up as soon as possible,&#8221; Lopez Obrador told reporters this week.
&#8220;We&#8217;re going to continue asking them,&#8221; he added, saying that it was “odd” Valdez was no longer on the register since he still has decades to serve on the 49-year-sentence he received after pleading guilty in 2016 to conspiracy to import cocaine, conspiracy to distribute cocaine, and conspiracy to launder money. Along with the prison sentence, he was also ordered to pay $192,000 in fines.
“If he is not in prison, you have to see the agreement they made with him because his sentence was for several years. Here in Mexico, there are also complaints filed against him,” Lopez Obrador said. “Do not get ahead of ourselves. We are going to wait to see what is happening.”
The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) website shows that Valdez is “not in BOP custody,&#8221; but a spokesperson from the federal agency <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/30/us/drug-trafficker-la-barbie-not-in-custody/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> CNN there could be several reasons for that.
“Inmates who were previously in BOP custody and who have not completed their sentence may be outside BOP custody for a period of time for court hearings, medical treatment or for other reasons,” BOP spokesperson Benjamin O’Cone told the outlet.
He reportedly added that the BOP does not provide specific information on inmate status for incarcerated people who are not in BOP custody for “safety, security, or privacy reasons.”
Wilmer “Buddy” Parker, who represented Valdez during his trial, told CNN he hadn’t heard about a possible release but wouldn’t comment further.
Valdez was born in Texas but rose through the ranks of Mexico’s ruthless Beltran-Leyva cartel, beginning as a marijuana trafficker before he developed a massive network capable of shipping between 150 and 180 kilograms of cocaine regularly into the U.S.
Through his drug trafficking business, Valdez connected to Joaquin Guzman-Loera, the infamous El Chapo, and became the drug kingpin’s top lieutenant, according to prosecutors.
He also worked as a hitman during a mid-2000s turf war between the Zetas and Sinaloa cartels.

An <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/indiana">Indiana</a> coroner’s office is seeking <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/dna">DNA</a> samples from relatives of young men who might have been victims of a prolific <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/serial-killer">serial killer</a>.
Jeff Jellison, Hamilton County’s chief deputy coroner and coroner-elect, is looking to identify human remains found on an 18-acre estate in Westfield, Indiana, that once belonged to a man suspected of killing numerous young gay men, the Associated Press <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/indiana-coroner-hopes-dna-can-id-remains-found-suspected-serial-killer-rcna59424?fbclid=IwAR2_iDsKF2HAqDpq6NysTqIi_3cJyoquuZbg_QYhpepanQnKKBzTMyfo0vE">reported</a>. The estate, known as Fox Hollow Farm, was previously owned by businessman Herbert Baumeister, who killed himself in Canada in July 1996 at the age of 49 when police were looking to question him about the remains found on his Indiana property.
More than 10,000 human bones and bone fragments have been found on the land since the mid-1990s, the AP reported.
“Some of them as small as a fingernail, some of them as large as some leg bones,” Jellison said in a press release, <a href="https://fox59.com/news/indycrime/coroner-hoping-to-identify-more-than-a-dozen-potential-serial-killer-victims/">according to Fox 59</a>. “Most of those remains were crushed before they were discarded, a lot of them were also burnt before they were discarded. Those two things right there create huge hurdles.”
Authorities have suggested that Baumeister, a married father of three, would go to gay bars and pick up young men he brought back to his home, where he killed them.
Police have linked Baumeister to the disappearance of at least 16 men since 1980 but believe the bones and bone fragments could belong to at least 25 people. In addition to the remains on his property, several bodies were found in shallow streams in Indiana and Ohio and are also believed to be linked to Baumeister.
Jellison said that 11 human DNA samples had been extracted when the investigation started 30 years ago. Eight of those samples were identified and matched, leaving three remaining. Jellison takes office in January and wants to make identifying the remaining individuals one of his first orders of business.
“These people were on a shelf for 26 years,” Jellison said. “They were forgotten, they’re no longer forgotten.”
Jellison said in the press release that he hopes advances in DNA technology could help identify additional remains but said he needs help from the community.
“If you had a relative, a loved one, that was missing from the mid-80s to middle 90s,” he said. “I need you to come forward and provide us with DNA.”
“It’s just a cheek swab,” he added. “It takes just a few seconds. You can come to us, we’ll come to you, but we need those swabs. Without those, we’re not going to go anywhere with this investigation.”

In another major reversal from earlier statements, police in Moscow, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/idaho">Idaho</a>, are now saying they don’t know if the four <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/homicide">murdered</a> University of Idaho <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/students">students</a> were specifically targeted in the attack.
The Moscow Police Department <a href="https://www.ci.moscow.id.us/DocumentCenter/View/24784/">responded</a> Wednesday to a statement made by the Latah County Prosecutor’s Office which stated that “the suspect(s) specifically looked at this residence, and that one or more of the occupants were undoubtedly targeted.”
“We have spoken with the Latah County Prosecutor’s Office and identified this was a miscommunication,” the department said. “Detectives do not currently know if the residence or any occupants were specifically targeted but continue to investigate.”
This is a departure from the department’s previous statements indicating that the homicide was a “targeted” attack. It isn’t the first time police have reversed course from prior statements.
When the homicide was first reported, police said in press releases that, in addition to being a targeted attack, there was no ongoing threat to the community. On November 16, however, Moscow Police Chief James Fry <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/idaho-police-reverse-course-now-cannot-say-that-there-is-no-threat-to-the-community-in-case-of-four-murdered-students">acknowledged</a> that there may be a threat to the community since the police still do not have a person of interest connected to the slayings.
“We cannot say that there is no threat to the community,” Fry said at a press conference. “There is a threat out there, possibly.”
That same day, Fry insisted the attack was targeted, yet now the police are saying they can’t be sure.
It’s been more than two weeks since Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Ethan Chapin, 20; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Madison Mogen, 21, were murdered in their off-campus residence – and police still have not named any suspects. Police responded to a call around noon on November 13, reporting an unconscious person at an off-campus residence. When they arrived, they found the four murdered students.
On Sunday, Aaron Snell, spokesperson for the Idaho State Police, told Fox News’ Lawrence Jones that while investigators “don’t currently have a suspect,” keeping certain information from the public “is going to be critical into trying to develop that.”
“Obviously, you’ve got somebody that’s on the loose right now. There’s a lot of fear with the public based on what you guys have been able to collect. And you have profilers on the team, [behavioral analysis] unit is here, why not go ahead and release that profile?” Jones asked Snell, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/idaho-student-murders-update-police-why-key-details-withheld-from-public">according to Fox News</a>.
“It will potentially put more fear, more suspicion on a wide variety of people versus if we use that to really refine where we’re at in our investigation. I think that will be more pertinent,” Snell replied. “And so if we just provide information to the public, I just don’t think that that’s going to be a wise choice.”
Authorities have also said they do not believe that the two surviving roommates – who apparently did not hear the killings take place – are involved in the crimes. They also do not believe a man observed in surveillance video outside a food truck visited by Goncalves and Mogen the night of the murders was involved, nor was a driver who drove the women home.
One week after the slayings, law enforcement provided more information about the killings and <a href="https://www.ci.moscow.id.us/DocumentCenter/View/24745/11-20-2022-Moscow-Homicide-Update">asked the public</a> for “context to the events and people involved in these murders.”
“Anyone who observed notable behavior, has video surveillance, or can provide relevant information is asked to call the Tip Line,” police said in a press release.
Police are looking for any outside surveillance video taken between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. on November 13 – the morning of the murders – from local businesses and residences in the area. They’ve requested all video, even if there doesn’t appear to be any motion in them. Police are also asking for any tips or surveillance video about “any observed suspicious behavior” on the night of the murders, particularly in the areas where the students had been.

Idaho Police Now Say They Don’t Know If Murdered University of Idaho Students Were Targeted

Idaho Police Can't Say If Murdered University of Idaho Students Were Targeted

On February 25, 1957, the naked and beaten body of a young boy was found in a box on the side of the road in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/philadelphia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philadelphia</a>, Pennsylvania. For more than 65 years, authorities were unable to identify the victim, leading to him being nicknamed “The Boy in the Box.”
But now, the Philadelphia Police Department says it has used DNA and genealogical information to identify the boy, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/the-boy-in-the-box-americas-unknown-child-philadelphia-police-name/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to CBS Philadelphia</a>. The boy’s name, however, has not yet been released.
When his body was found, it was determined that the boy was malnourished, and though his real age was not known, he is believed to have been between four and six years old. The boy had been freshly groomed, with a haircut and trimmed nails, but he was also covered in scars, some of which appeared surgical.
Police determined that the boy was killed by blunt force trauma, and the discovery of his identity could lead to criminal charges.
&#8220;To have a name on that stone, that&#8217;s what everybody has been wishing forever,&#8221; Linda Tamburri, who has cared for the previously unidentified boy’s grave, told CBS. &#8220;I&#8217;m just glad I&#8217;m here to actually know I&#8217;ll see that little boy&#8217;s name on the stone.&#8221;
Dave Drysdale, cemetery secretary and treasurer at Ivy Hill, where the boy was buried, told the outlet that the discovery was “wonderful.”
&#8220;I just wish that the police officers and all the people involved who long passed away were still here to see it because that was one of their goals and a couple of them said, &#8216;I hope they live long enough to see a name put on there,’” he added.
Drysdale was at Ivy Hill in 1998 when the boy’s remains were transferred from Potter’s Field.
&#8220;Someday, there will be a name on there and it will be great,&#8221; Drysdale said. &#8220;It will be great.&#8221;
Police have reportedly worked for years to identify the boy, exhuming his remains in 2019 to retrieve additional DNA for analysis. That analysis was cross-referenced with genealogical information to develop a family tree and track down family members.
Sources <a href="https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/investigators/philadelphia-police-to-reveal-identity-of-boy-in-the-box-next-week-sources-say/3438944/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> NBC 10 Philadelphia that police found the boy’s birth certificate.
Last year, Philadelphia Police Captain Jason Smith told the outlet that identifying the remains means &#8220;[t]he investigation will start all over again and then we&#8217;ll start searching for a suspect.”
Police say they will reveal the name of the child next week.

Authorities in Delphi, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/indiana">Indiana</a>, on Tuesday unsealed the probable cause affidavit that led to the arrest of Richard Allen, 50, for the 2017 <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/murder">murders</a> of two <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/teenagers">teenagers</a>.
The affidavit, <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23321462-allen-affidavit">published</a> by the Daily Beast, reveals that Allen admitted to being on the Indiana hiking trail where 13-year-old Libby German and her best friend Abby Williams were last seen alive and where their bodies were found on February 14, 2017. Video surveillance from the Hoosier Harvestore, a machine repair company in Delphi, and an unspent bullet found at the scene, all point to Allen as the killer, police say in the affidavit.
After the teens’ bodies were found, police pulled evidence from Libby’s phone, including photos of a potential suspect and an audio recording of a man saying “down the hill.” Multiple witnesses reported seeing a man matching the description of the one seen in the photo on the trail within the timeframe that the girls would have been killed, according to the affidavit.
Other witnesses mentioned seeing an automobile parked near an old building that police believe belonged to Allen, whose vehicle was seen traveling westbound in front of the Hoosier Harvestore at 1:27 p.m. Allen said he arrived at the trails around 1:30 p.m.
Allen said he went to the trails on February 13th and on to the Monon High Bridge to watch the fish. This is the same bridge where the teen girls went for a walk. Allen also told investigators that he owned firearms and knives.
On October 13, 2022, more than five years after the girls were murdered, police executed a search warrant of Allen’s home and found numerous weapons, including a Sig Sauer Model P226 .40 caliber pistol.
&#8220;Between October 14, 2022 and October 19, 2022 the Indiana State Police Laboratory performed an analysis on Allen&#8217;s Sig Sauer Model P226. The Laboratory performed a physical examination and classification of the firearm, function test, barrel and overall length measurement, test firing, ammunition component characterization, microscopic comparison, and [National Integrated Ballistic Information Network],” the affidavit said. “The Laboratory determined the unspent round located within two feet of Victim 2’s body had been cycled through Richard M. Allen&#8217;s Sig Sauer Model P226.&#8221;
Investigators learned that Allen purchased the firearm in 2001, and he told him during a voluntary interview with the Indiana State Police on October 26, 2022, that he “never allowed anyone to use or borrow” that particular weapon. At the time, however, he denied any involvement in the murders of the two teen girls but couldn’t explain how the bullet was found between their bodies.
Definitively proving an unspent bullet came from a particular gun is not as simple as the affidavit makes it seem, according to Stephen Gutowski, a certified firearms instructor and reporter who founded The Reload.
“The forensic techniques used by crime labs to match specific guns to specific bullets have come under heavy scrutiny in recent years,” Gutowski told The Daily Wire. “So, I think it&#8217;s important to examine claims like this with a healthy dose of skepticism. The idea you could match a mark on the rim of a casing to a specific gun&#8217;s extractor seems dubious to me.”
“I could see an argument that an extractor on a certain model of gun could leave a unique marking on an unspent round if the round were cycled through the firearm since the extractor may have dimensions that are different from other firearms,” he added. “However, the Sig Sauer P226 has been an incredibly popular firearm for decades, and it&#8217;s unlikely the mass-produced extractors included on each pistol would leave a marking that&#8217;s obviously distinguishable from another P226.”
The affidavit also highlights the unreliability of witness testimony. Allen said he witnessed three juvenile females while walking the trail, and those three described a man they saw walking alone, believed to be Allen. One of the girls said the man she saw was wearing “like blue jeans a like really light blue jacket.” Another said the man wore a black hoodie, black jeans, and black boots. The third girl described the man as wearing a blue or black windbreaker jacket and baggy jeans.
Witnesses also described seeing a vehicle parked at an old Child Protective Services building near the trails. One witness said he saw a purple PT Cruiser or small SUV backed up to the building. Another witness described it as possibly being a “smart” car.
Allen owned two vehicles in 2017, a 2016 black Ford Focus and a 2006 gray Ford 500, according to the affidavit. Investigators saw a car resembling Allen’s Ford Focus traveling in front of the Hoosier Harvestore store. They also suggest the witness descriptions of the vehicle “are similar in nature to a 2016 Ford Focus.” A Ford Focus is described as a compact vehicle, but it is not small or distinct enough to be confused for a “smart” car. It is also not large or distinct enough to be confused with a PT Cruiser or an SUV.
The affidavit makes multiple notes that Allen was the only male seen in the vicinity of the crime at the time the murders were alleged to have occurred. Yet, last week, prosecutors in court suggested they believe a second person may have been involved, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/prosecutors-allege-second-person-involved-in-delphi-murders-of-two-teen-girls">reported</a>.
The news surprised not only those following the case but also Allen’s defense attorney, who said as much to reporters outside the courtroom.
“If you read the probable cause affidavit it does not mention anything about any other person. That was news to us,” defense attorney Andrew Baldwin said.

Kathleen Casillo, a mother of three from Queens, New York, was Christmas shopping with her daughter in Manhattan on December 11, 2020, when she drove up to an intersection filled with protesters blocking the road to oppose U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detentions.
On Tuesday, Casillo again rejected a plea deal that would admit fault but only require six hours of community service and a one-year license suspension, the Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11483439/NYC-mother-three-slammed-BLM-protesters-2020-protests-refuses-plea-deal.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Casillo instead has opted for a jury trial, where she faces seven years in prison if found guilty.
Casillo rejected the same plea deal last year, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/12/02/nyc-woman-who-drove-through-blm-protest-turns-down-plea-deal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> at the time.
In video footage that captured part of the incident, Casillo’s black BMW can be seen surrounded by protesters, some of whom appear to be touching or banging on her vehicle. Casillo then stepped on the gas and sped through the group, injuring nine.
“My side of the story was we were attacked by people who were going to break my daughter&#8217;s window and pull her out of the car, so I feared [for] my life,” Casillo <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10267879/White-NYC-woman-53-lives-fear-life-hitting-BLM-protesters-attacked-car.html">told</a> the Mail last year.
She told the outlet at the time that she refused the plea deal because she didn’t believe she did anything wrong and didn’t want to plead guilty to reckless assault and reckless endangerment.
“I&#8217;m going to court to clear my name because I&#8217;m not guilty,” she told the Mail.
“I feel sick,” she continued. “I never intended on hurting anyone. I just feared for my daughter&#8217;s life more than anybody. I thought they were going to pull her out of the car.”
“They’re just making the black community look like they’re thugs. One of my closest friends is a woman of color, from when I was 19-years-old, so it’s not a black, white thing. I don’t know even know the color of the people that I hit. It was all mixed,” she added.
Casillo’s attorney, Oliver Storch, told the Post last year that his client wouldn’t plead guilty to what he called an “accident.”
“Not all accidents are criminal,” Storch said.
He also told the outlet that it was an “aberration” that Casillo was arrested, noting that police just as easily could have arrested the protesters who he says attacked her car for criminal mischief.
“This was an angry mob that descended upon this mother and her daughter, and she panicked,” he said.
“We’re not making light of this,” he said, adding that Casillo “is deeply, deeply concerned and feels very bad for anybody who was injured.”
“But there is no criminal liability here. There was nothing reckless about her conduct,” Storch told the outlet.
Casillo’s 29-year-old daughter Dominique, who was in the car at the time, told the Mail last year that “it didn’t look like a protest” when their vehicle was surrounded by demonstrators.
“It was more like being attacked by random people who were being menaces,” she told the outlet.

A former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/virginia">Virginia</a> state trooper was killed in a shootout with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/california">California</a> police after allegedly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/murder">murdering</a> the family of a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/teenagers">teenage</a> girl he had catfished online, according to police.
Austin Lee Edwards, 28, reportedly drove more than 2,500 miles from Virginia to Riverside, California, to meet the teenager on Friday, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/11/28/austin-lee-edwards-allegedly-kidnapped-teen-after-murdering-her-family/">reported</a>. Once there, Edwards allegedly killed the girl’s grandparents and mother, set fire to her home, and then kidnapped her.
Around 11:08 a.m., Riverside police officers were dispatched to check on the girl after she was seen “distressed” while getting into a vehicle with a man. While officers went to check on the girl, Riverside’s Public Safety Communications Center received calls about a home on fire near where the girl was seen, according to <a href="https://riversideca.gov/press/three-homicide-victims-found-after-house-fire?fbclid=IwAR0Roo399LFKX79BD0P6VrHHaZNldu7tAPDdaGKCiSAjOb2NXbOPWPX548g">a press release</a> from the Riverside Police Department.
The Riverside Fire Department went to the scene of the fire and entered the home, where they found three adult victims lying in the front entry. Their bodies were removed and determined to be the victims of an apparent homicide. The victims were identified as Mark Winek, 69; his wife Sharie, 65; and their daughter Brooke, 38.
Authorities quickly determined that the girl mentioned in the earlier call lived in the home where the fire was started.
Around 1:15 p.m. San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputies saw the vehicle described in the distress call. They followed the vehicle until a SWAT team could catch up, according to <a href="https://nixle.us/E4AC7?_ga=2.170990435.257325873.1669605016-2096478158.1669605016.%C2%A0">a press release</a> from the Sheriff’s office. When SWAT intercepted the vehicle – determined to be driven by Edwards – he fled, firing at the deputies, according to police. Edwards then lost control of the vehicle and drove off the road.
His teenage victim ran from the vehicle and was rescued by sheriff’s deputies. Edwards also exited the vehicle and pointed his gun at the sheriff’s helicopter that had been pursuing his vehicle, the press release says. Deputies then fired at Edwards, killing him at the scene.
“Our hearts go out to the Winek family and their loved ones during this time of tremendous grief, as this is a tragedy for all Riversiders,” Riverside Police Chief Larry Gonzalez said in a press release. “This is yet another horrific reminder of the predators existing online who prey on our children. If you’ve already had a conversation with your kids on how to be safe online and on social media, have it again. If not, start it now to better protect them.”
Detectives determined that Edwards met the teenager online, where he apparently catfished her by pretending to be someone he was not. Police believe Edwards developed an online relationship with the girl and obtained her personal information before driving to her home and allegedly murdering her family.
Police also learned that Edwards had worked for the Virginia State Police until recently when he was employed at the Washington County Sheriff’s Office in Virginia.
