Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer discusses the ongoing trial of Richard Allen, the alleged Delphi murderer. The conversation highlights Judge Gull’s recent decision to prohibit the defense from introducing Odinism or any cult-related theories as part of a third-party defense. Coffindaffer emphasizes the impact of this ruling on Allen’s defense, which has already taken hits from prior rulings that allow all of Allen's confessions to be presented in court. She raises concerns about evidence, particularly regarding other possible suspects like Ron Logan and Keegan Klein, noting that some of their alleged involvement has not been fully explored. Coffindaffer questions how the jury will be able to make an informed decision without all relevant details and evidence being considered.

Coffindaffer expresses her belief that the jury should be presented with a complete picture, including all possible suspects and scenarios.
