Prior to his arrest on murder charges, Richard Allen worked at CVS stores in both Peru, Indiana and Delphi, Indiana. In a previous episode, we presented a conversation with one of his co workers. Now we offer an interview with another one of Allen's CVS colleagues — one with a more negative experience than what we have heard before.

In the Delphi murders, police released a redacted probable cause affidavit that included a description of an eyewitness sighting a man who appeared "muddy and bloody" near the Monon High Bridge.

The Murder Sheet can confirm that this eyewitness contributed to the sketch first released in July 2017, the one that seemed to depict an older man.

We decided to reach out to a veteran defense attorney to get his perspective on the PCA that was released last week in connection with the arrest of Bryan Kohberger in connection with the University of Idaho homicides. The gentleman we spoke with has many years of experience handling serious cases— including homicide.

Since he is still very actively practicing law, we are not mentioning his name but we independently verified his identity and level of experience.
