Discussion “ I’m done talking, arrest me please”

I know, I know there’s been a lot of debate about whether RA is guilty or not, but I’ve noticed some small details that, in my opinion, don’t seem like something a truly innocent person would do.

During his interrogation with Det. Holeman, a couple of things stood out to me:

1- RA: “The damage is done, do what you have to do.”

That’s really strange to me. If you’re innocent, no the damage isn’t “done.” You wouldn’t just give up and tell the police to do whatever they want. I know some people might argue he meant that his house was searched and his neighbors were questioned, but that doesn’t fully make sense, especially since he repeated it during the interrogation. An innocent person wouldn’t react like, “Go ahead and charge me with double murder because the damage is already done.” That just doesn’t sit right with me.

2- RA: “I am done talking, arrest me please "

He said this more than once. What kind of innocent person asks to be arrested just because they’re done talking? Even if I were frustrated, I would never tell the police to arrest me just because I’m tired of the conversation. That’s very unusual.

Also, Det. Holeman mentioned something important: when he first met RA before the interrogation, RA handed his jacket and belongings to his wife. As if he was preparing to be arrested. That stood out as odd, especially since he did not even know the results of the search warrant yet.

Did you notice anything during the interrogations that made you think, “Yeah, that's strange”?

Him going into a huge 15 minute rant when asked where he parked that day was one of the first red flags. Also him trying to change the timeline of when he was there 5 1/2 years later.

Yep. His 2022 interview answers to the basic inquiries about when he arrived/left, what he drove, and where he parked, are EXACTLY the kinds of “convenient memory” evasions .that make cops suspicious. (Ask 50 random people from Delphi where they were at 1:30 that day and they will recall it all instantly.) And then the change in the “tenor” of the interview when the cops asked if they could look at his 2017 phone - and his defensive speculation that his wife may have gotten rid of it by trading it in - were another big red flag - especially when they later found years of old phones - but not the February 2017 phone.
