About this listen

 In today’s episode, we take a hard, relentless look at Lieutenant Jerry Holeman’s testimony in the Delphi murders case — and what it reveals about the investigation that led to the conviction of Richard Allen. This isn’t speculation. This isn’t rumor. This is straight from the sworn record: the contradictions, the assumptions, the missing analysis, and the investigative gaps that no one watching the press conferences ever got to see.

Holeman was positioned as one of the state’s anchors — a senior Indiana State Police investigator expected to bring clarity and confidence to a deeply complex double-homicide case. Instead, his testimony exposes just how shaky the investigative foundation really was. Sticks placed on the bodies of Abby and Libby were dismissed as “camouflage,” even though they concealed nothing. Then, suddenly, the state floated a psychological term — “undoing” — that had never appeared in the investigative record, and Holman endorsed it without hesitation.

His certainty about a “single offender” wasn’t based on forensic proof. It came from a belief he stated on the stand: that in multi-offender crimes, “someone usually talks.” Yet the case file contains exactly that — a suspect making disturbing comments investigators inexplicably labeled “no further action.”

We dive into everything Holman didn’t explain: why symbolic elements were barely analyzed, why alternative suspects weren’t vetted, why forensic opportunities were missed, why the bullet lacked field documentation, why major investigative questions were replaced with assumptions, and why his testimony often stood in open conflict with other investigators on essential questions like the FBI’s role.

This isn’t about guilt or innocence. It’s about whether the investigation that shaped the entire Delphi narrative was thorough, consistent, or grounded in evidence. And Holman’s testimony makes it undeniably clear: the holes aren’t small. They’re foundational.

If you care about the truth in Delphi, this breakdown matters.
