New Shocking Delphi Allegations Of Exploitation Ring Around Murders
In an order dated Feb. 14, Gull denied the defense’s Verified Motion to Correct Error, a request filed on Jan. 20 seeking to vacate Allen’s conviction. She also denied a second motion filed on Feb. 14 to strike the state’s response, as well as a motion to correct the abstract of judgment. These rulings were entered into the case record on Feb. 18 and were made without a hearing.
The defense’s latest challenge revolves around an Indiana inmate, Ricci Davis, who claims that two men—Ron Logan and Kegan Kline—confessed their involvement in the murders. Logan, who owned the land where the girls were found, allegedly admitted to Davis that he committed the murders and provided details only the killer would know. Davis says Kline, a convicted child pornographer, later corroborated Logan’s statements and expressed relief after Allen’s conviction, believing it would keep him from being a suspect.
Davis claims he sent as many as eight letters to Carroll County Prosecutor Nick McLeland during Allen’s trial, detailing what he was told. He also alleges that he provided a recorded interview to police. However, Allen’s defense team has never seen these letters or the interview, and McLeland has refused to confirm whether they exist or were shared with the defense.
“Ricci Davis was shocked to learn that Baldwin had never received this videotaped interview,” the defense wrote in their motion, referencing a conversation between Davis and Allen’s attorney, Andrew Baldwin, in February 2025.
The defense has accused McLeland of withholding evidence and failing to disclose whether the letters and recorded statements exist. Baldwin said he repeatedly asked for clarification but received no response from the prosecution.
“McLeland’s response was vague, non-responsive to the defense request and did not indicate whether he ever received those letters, nor whether he sent those letters to the defense,” the defense motion states.
Prosecutors have countered that Allen’s attorneys had the opportunity to present evidence at trial and that Davis’ claims are unreliable. The state revealed that Davis “miserably” failed a polygraph test when pressed about Logan’s alleged confession.
Davis, who is serving a 50-year prison sentence for meth distribution, admitted that he initially withheld some details in 2024 because he was unsure whether Allen was one of the men involved. However, in their February 2025 conversation, Davis told Baldwin that he later realized Allen was not the third person involved and tried to alert prosecutors.
Now, Allen’s defense team is pushing for the letters, interview recording, and any related communications to be preserved and turned over. They argue that the information could impact Allen’s conviction and support their claims that he is innocent.
Meanwhile, various media outlets have filed motions requesting the public release of certain case records, adding further pressure to the already contentious legal battle.
With Judge Gull’s latest rulings, Allen’s conviction remains intact, but his defense team continues to challenge the state’s handling of evidence. The case remains active as both sides await further court rulings.
