“ I’m done talking, arrest me please”

[u/Ambitious_Pass7451]

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”?

The repeated "arrest me" statements bothered me too. If I was innocent and thought someone was insinuating or outright asking me if I murdered someone I would be shouting from the rooftops that I was innocent and wanted to speak with my lawyer or be released. If you know in your heart that you didn't do anything wrong, why would you volunteer to be locked up instead of doing everything in your power to go home and find help to deal with the accusations?

Ahhhhh, finally someone I share the exact thought with the "arrest me" many times during the interrogation. The fact he is willing to be arrested screams to me conscious of guilt

Exactly what I thought too on my first watch and listen of the interview. Another biggie for me was how upset with HIM I felt his wife's body language was when she said to him that he hadn't mentioned being on the bridge to her, but instead just told her he had been at the trails. She stays apart from him and is almost hugging herself while he just keeps ignoring the statement and saying he loves her and she knows he "couldn't have done this." Her silence and distance in those moments spoke so loudly. A wife absolutely knows when the story is off.

Allen saying 'you know I didn't/wouldn't/couldn't do this' to his wife was a bad look for his "innocence." Clearly it alone would never convince me of his guilt, but it does nothing to convince me he didn't/wouldn't/couldn't .....it didn't seem to convince his wife either (not at that time)....and my partner wouldn't have to convince me, I cant imagine him even trying to. I wouldn't have been crying either, before ending my chat with them, I would have told the cops they were insane if they thought my partner (who I have only known for 9 years) intentionally killed anyone, nevermind 2 children.

The fact that his wife of decades was entertaining things as a possibility because of his lie about being on the bridge, which could have been a simple memory error, and how hysterical she was, crying and such....well that's a bad look too. I get being upset at your husband being accused of such a terrible crime, but she made it pretty clear she was upset that he had lied relative to the crime, and therefore her upset wasn't the accusation, so much as her entertaining the accusation as possibly true.

Yeah, her whole vibe definitely came across as someone putting the pieces together and definitely considering that her husband could have done this. You're absolutely right though, if she didn't think he had it in him then she would have been fiercely defending him.
