Delphi Docs

Yes, be had been taking Seroquel daily for years prior to his arrest. It is often taken as an add-on treatment for MDD that hasn't responded well to just an antidepressant alone, and helps with sleep and anxiety. As soon as Rick got to Westville, they abruptly discontinued it without any medical justification or any taper. Abrupt discontinuation of Seroquel without a doubt contributed to his worsening insomnia that he struggled with throughout his time in Westville. 😭

A precursor to the thingie. 🧵🪡🚨🔔‼️ Let’s do a little refresher on the who’s-who-and-what’s-what of Westville Correctional Facility and the 13 months that Richard Allen spent in solitary confinement as a pretrial defendant. Who’s who? #FreeRickAllen #FreeRicky

More of this thingie, contd. 🧵🪡🚨 🔔‼️ Teaching Rick to distrust his own mind. On March 16, 2023, according to her own note, treating psychologist Monica Wala told Rick there were "no records of routine communication between Mr. Allen and his wife." Confused and agitated, Rick insisted he spoke to Kathy once or twice a week. Hours of call recordings and more than 500 pages of call transcripts support his account. Days later, another mental health worker told Rick that “an investigator” had made the same claim: that Rick "hadn't been talking to his wife" so “why would visits matter" to him? For whatever reason, a lead investigator and two mental health professionals told a man already losing his grip on reality that there was no record of his regular contact with his wife. The memory-distrust model warns against this very pattern: the claim came from authority, contradicted Rick’s own experience, and reached him at a moment of extreme emotional intensity. That combination can lead a person to doubt his own memory and instead rely on what he is told (Gudjonsson, Cortex, 2017). Trust in authority can deepen that vulnerability, as the person comes to accept the authority’s version of events over his own (Mogavero, Behavioral Sciences and the Law, 2020). 1/

We're working on a thingie, contd. 🧵🪡🚨🔔‼️ Rick's strongest lever was his wife. Before his arrest, Richard Allen's emotional and psychological stability primarily rested on one person: his wife of over 30 years, Kathy Allen. As his treating psychologist, Wala identified this from the start. In November 2022, she noted that Rick was "extremely selfless when it comes to his wife" and under oath agreed that Rick's "chivalrous attitude had always been there" during his solitary confinement. Over the following months, Wala would trace a man who was falling apart around his wife's absence. In January 2023, Wala documented a "nervous breakdown” and later testified that not getting a letter from his wife “would probably be a big thing." In February 2023, Wala wrote that Rick was "breaking down" on every call with Kathy. In March 2023, Wala recorded Rick's depression and withdrawal in her clinical notes and would later recall - under oath and without prompting - that "it was about wanting his wife to be able to visit". 1/

We're working on a thingie. 🧵🪡🚨🔔‼️ The person charged with keeping Richard Allen sane was personally following the case against him. Richard Allen's prison psychologist, Dr. Monica Wala, testified under oath that she had followed the Delphi investigation for years before Allen was ever arrested and delivered to Westville Correctional Facility. Wala listened to true-crime podcasts and YouTube channels devoted to the case. She belonged to Delphi-focused social media groups. She used the Department of Corrections' internal information system to pull case materials for her own personal interest, conduct she later acknowledged likely violated policy. And she testified that, before she ever laid eyes on Richard Allen, she had already formed a profile of the kind of person who would have committed these killings. She disclosed none of this to her employer or to the Department of Corrections at the time, because, in her words, she did not feel it was relevant. This is the person the system placed at Allen's cell door as his treating clinician, his suicide-watch lifeline, and very often the only human being he was permitted to speak with for months at a time. 1/
