The paper reported that Allen’s attorneys requested a Franks hearing, at which the defense can introduce evidence intended to disprove the validity of a search warrant.
FOX 59, citing the court filing, reported that Liberty and Abigail’s bodies were found posed with tree branches “intentionally placed in a very specific and arranged pattern.” The outlet also reported that Allen’s attorneys claim that blood matching one of the girls was found painted on trees in a symbol resembling the letter “F.” According to the filing, the symbol “F” is associated with Odinism.
Allen’s attorneys alleged that “cult” members are linked to the killings and that investigators concealed evidence that could’ve cleared Allen, FOX 59 reported.
The court filing also requests that Allen be moved to a different correctional facility and claims corrections officers at Westville Correctional Facility, where he is being held, were linked to Odinism and were threatening Allen, WTHR reported.
According to court records, Allen’s trial is scheduled to begin in January.
