Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott Breaks Down The Initial Delphi Police Interrogation of Richard Allen
How do you get a man to confess to something he didn’t do? Easy—just throw every shady interrogation tactic in the book at him and hope something sticks.

When Richard Allen was brought in for questioning about the alleged Delphi murders of Abby and Libby, the detectives didn’t exactly hold back. They leaned hard into psychological warfare: outdated Law & Order tricks, misleading “evidence,” and emotional manipulation that made it feel more like a 1950s TV drama than a modern investigation. With no confession and no solid evidence, they just kept pushing.

Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to analyze the interrogation—clip by painful clip. What does it do to someone’s mind when they’re accused of something horrific, and they know they didn’t do it? How do cops justify dragging someone to the edge of a breakdown just to close a case? And at what point does this stop looking like an investigation and start looking like a setup?

Is Richard Allen really just an ordinary guy caught in the worst kind of nightmare?
