I don't think it's that weird. Whoever killed them probably ran out of time and tried to cover it up by redressing them, then forgot which clothes went to which girl.

[@cocosurgerow]

Where did bridge guy go after the murders? Somehow he had to clean clothes and wash hands and boots. Are there boot treads at the scene?

[@oh6961]

I can't believe people can't look at Bridge Guy and not see Allen. Yes, it's blurry, but jeepers, it looks exactly like him.

[@LivingInPortlandOR]

Yeah, that’s what I’m waiting for. I feel like they must assuredly had to have had a voice expert compare them.

[@oceancat0450]

His voice is the only reason I think he’s guilty. The voice “down the hill” sounded EXACTLY like Richard’s voice.

[@oxysz]

It was so quiet in the actual video clip you couldn’t even hear it without messing with the audio and upping the levels so much. Since it’s such a short little clip as well I cant imagine it’s anything reliable or almost any man would sound like that

[@cherylg46]

Is BG the actual killer? They can't prove that.

[@michelletaylor4211]

IMO, the voice is not Bridge Guy. He was barely a speck on the video that she was actually taking of Abby. She wasn't videoing bridge guy as protrayed. There is no way you would have heard Bridge guys voice at that distance.

[@michellefromindiana4406]

I want to see the evidence not circumstantial evidence

[@doragreen3887]

Thank you hidden true crime and angenette

[@valeriebehrendt9380]

Libby was so smart to think of filming this potential threat. I wish she’d quickly emailed or texted it- or told him, “I’m sending your pic to my dad, stay back” - maybe he’d have thought better if it and said, “I’m just walking here.” And gone on and left them alone. This fourteen year old child had to solve her own murder. It’s ridiculous how long it took to arrest Richard Allen for this. He looks exactly like the video and drawings and admitted he was there at the time; then confessed, unprompted, to his wife and mother.

[@margieramirez9498]

That video didn't even go with all the evidence from the phone.

[@doopil]

The first big problem with this case was you had both civilians and police personnel form a tiny police force in a tiny town of less than 3000 people running around all over the crime scene. The biggest thing these guys probably ever had to deal with is a drunken brawl in the local gin joint on Saturday night. It didn't at least start to resemble a real investigation until they called in the Indiana state police. Initially these guys were in way over their heads. Hate to say it but, Just sayin.

[@sharpe67]

But State police investigators were there Feb. 14.

[@Melody-st4df]

QUESTION Please : Magnolia from JLR Investigates who is also in the courtroom each day, posted a photo of Brad Holder from his Facebook timeline alongside the picture of the "Bridge Guy" footage . . .

They don't. But literally every adult male in that area has the same build and same wardrobe as BG and given his familiarity with the bridge location and how to walk across it was ease he's gotta be a local. Then you have the 61 confessions and info only the killer knows. This isn't a evidentiary case, its a common sense one...

[@cynthiacarter514]

I wonder if Libby was in worse condition than Abby due to time limitations for suspect.

[@doopil]

As far as any confession goes, He was in a prison awaiting trial. He was probably spending every day being shouted at and threatened by other inmates the whole time he was there. The guards probably weren't any better. For all any body knows he could have been told by someone in there either own what you did and confess or when you leave here it will be in a bag. The judge should throw out those confessions and just say, Look either prove he did it with evidence or he walks. Libby and Abby deserve a whole lot better than the wrong person being convicted while the person that did these monstrous things is still out there. Society deserves better too.

[@kamencic]

If he confesses he should back up his claim by undisclosed descriptions or details.

[@brockit79]

That's not right at all - what this presenter said re the phone pinging.
