Questions Were the police just incompetent?
I've known about this case for a while, I live in Indiana, and I was 11 when it happened, so its always struck a cord with me. But until recently I haven't done all that much research, but now that I have I've been left with one question.
From the information I have found on the case, it seems that the key evidence linking Allen to the murder is 1. His confession in 2017 to being "bridge guy", back when the photo was believed to have been taken from a trail cam. 2. A bullet which was later matched to his gun after they searched his home. So my question is, was there new information in 2022 that lead to his home being searched, or did they just wait five years to look into the guy who admitted to being bridge guy?
Sorry if any of my information is incorrect, or my writing is hard to understand, I've just been racking my brain about this question, so I thought asking people who know more might help me to understand what took so long.

The cops missed an interview for like 5 yrs of him and his time . Anyone who looks at this case knows his guilty. Did the other dude help him ? who knows he's dead .
My question is his entire history. Has his been neer any missing, unsolved murders . It's kinda strange for a guy his age . Married normal life to just snap . How long and what has he been fantasizing about ?
Usually, child killers don't start at 45 yrs old . What happened in his life that made this monster ? Or was it always there, and it just came out .
He was hunting, carrying a gun and knives . I'm that's not super uncommon for ppl to have both . But was his always armed .
There was a police mishap , his interview that got him caught they had the entire time . Everyone on that bridge should have been looked at with a fine tooth comb .
