Convicted Child Molester Says Accused Delphi Killer Richard Allen is Being Abused & Teased’ Accused Delphi killer Richard Allen has endured abuse from both guards and fellow inmates while in pretrial detention at Westville Correctional Facility in Indiana, according to a letter written by another inmate.

Judge Frances Gull unsealed approximately 120 documents on Wednesday, which included details on an inmate serving time for child molestation, who claims that Allen, along with other inmates, has been treated cruelly.

“Richard Allen is being abused and mistreated along with other inmates in the Westville Control Restrictive Unit Restrictive Housing,” inmate, Robert P. Baston, wrote to the court.

“There are corrupt officers and ranking officers calling Richard Allen a kid killer, teasing him that he has a visit from his family, phone is ringing on his GTL-table.”

Allen, who also wrote a written statement to the court, reported that fellow inmates in adjacent cells threatened his life and urged him to commit suicide.

Baston, who was sentenced to 40 years in July 2010, alleged that Warden John Galipeau, along with high-ranking officers and prison staff, have witnessed these threats from other inmates towards Allen but have failed to intervene or prevent them.

Delphi Court Documents by Leigh Egan

As CrimeOnline reported, the Delphi Double Homicide Task Force took Allen into custody on October 28 last year at his home in Delphi.

The victims were found murdered near the Monon High Bridge on February 14, 2017, after taking an outing to the bridge the day prior. The outing was only meant for a few hours, and when the girls failed to return, family members contacted police.

One of the girls, likely sensing danger, recorded the man’s voice on her cellphone prior to the murders. She also managed to take a photo and record a small clip of the suspect. Although his face isn’t clear in the picture, it was enough to give authorities a general description. Since then, they’ve been poring through thousands of tips, leading to Allen’s arrest.

Meanwhile, detectives continue to ask anyone who may have additional information to email [email protected] or call 765-822-3535.

“This investigation is still very ongoing. We are keeping the tip line open, not only about Richard Allen but any other person,” Carroll County Prosecutor Nick McLeland previously said. “We cannot talk about the evidence in the probable cause or the charging information … today’s about Abby and Libby, focusing on them.”
