What happens when key evidence in a high-profile murder case disappears? This is the central question in the latest episode of "Hidden Killers," where Tony Brueski and former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer discuss the controversial Delphi murder case. The case involves Richard Allen, accused of the 2017 killings of Abby Williams and Libby German, and presents a startling instance of mishandled evidence.

Coffindaffer expressed deep concerns about the investigation's handling, calling it "problematic" and "poorly" executed. She highlighted the loss of key evidence and noted that the case's trajectory has been marred by numerous errors, raising serious doubts about its integrity.

The defense team for Allen has been keen to explore alternative suspects, a standard practice in criminal defense. However, the prosecution's admission of deleted evidence has added a layer of complexity and controversy to the case. Brueski humorously likened this to a Britney Spears song, "Oops... I Did It Again," to underline the repeated mistakes in the investigation.

Coffindaffer emphasized the significance of the Frank's hearing, a critical juncture where the defense could challenge the validity of the warrants and evidence. However, this opportunity was lost due to procedural issues and decisions by the court, further complicating the case.

The podcast also touched upon the initial interviews with Richard Allen and the involvement of the FBI. Coffindaffer criticized the local police's delay in involving the Bureau and pointed out flaws in the interview process and evidence management. She suggested that the investigation's mishandling might stem from embarrassment over initial errors.

As Brueski aptly summarized, the case seems plagued by a series of cover-ups, each attempting to mask previous mistakes. This has led to a situation where the true nature and extent of the investigation's flaws remain obscured, potentially hindering justice for the victims.

In conclusion, the Delphi murder case raises an intriguing question: can justice prevail in a system where errors and ego overshadow the pursuit of truth? As Coffindaffer and Brueski explore the case's complexities, listeners are left to ponder the impact of these mistakes on the path to justice for Abby Williams and Libby German.
