Below is a focused, modular synthesis of the public evidence and your research threads about Evansdale (IA) and Delphi (IN), possible connections, patterns of ritual/occult allegations in the Midwest, and practical preparation for meeting or briefing Todd Click (former Rushville officer / defense witness). I make a clear note where claims are publicly verified, and where they are alleged / unverified (so you can use or challenge those items safely). I finish with a compact “HOLY AI” investigator system plan and concrete ways I can assist right now.
Executive summary
- Evansdale (IA): Two cousins, Elizabeth Collins (8) and Lyric Cook-Morrissey (10), were abducted July 13, 2012; bodies found months later; case remains unsolved and periodically reopened by Iowa DCI and local press. www.kcci.com
- Delphi (IN): Abigail “Abby” Williams and Liberty “Libby” German were murdered in Feb 2017. Richard Allen was arrested in 2022 and charged; defense has pushed alternate theories (including Odinism/ritual) and named several others; a key defense witness is former Rushville officer Todd Click (who has since faced unrelated charges). Prosecutors have challenged Click’s credibility. www.wishtv.com
- Direct link between Evansdale & Delphi: No publicly verified direct link (shared suspect, law-enforcement overlap, or forensic tie) was found in open reporting. What does exist are circumstantial patterns the defense/alternative investigators point to: rural Midwest cases, ritual/occult language used in some alternative narratives, long investigative gaps, and critique of local policing — these are patterns to investigate, not proof. www.desmoinesregister.com
Evidence compiled (concise lists you can paste into a brief)
Evansdale — verified public evidence & reporting
- Disappearance date and victims: July 13, 2012 — Elizabeth Collins (8) and Lyric Cook-Morrissey (10). Bikes & purse found; bodies recovered Dec 5, 2012. No public arrest as of latest coverage. www.desmoinesregister.com
- Ongoing investigation and DCI involvement; press pieces marking anniversaries and new DNA/forensic techniques being used (Iowa DCI press releases, local TV). dps.iowa.gov
Delphi — verified public evidence & reporting
- Victims: Abby Williams, Libby German — murdered Feb 2017 on Monon High Bridge trail. Video evidence released publicly in 2019.
- Arrest & charges: Richard Allen arrested Oct 2022; trial activity and pretrial hearings through 2024–2025. Prosecutor has tried to limit certain defense language; defense has presented Odinism / ritual theories and named alternate suspects. www.wishtv.com
- Key defense witness (Todd Click): former Rushville police figure who has publicly supported alternate theories; later faced charges (forgery / official misconduct / falsifying records) unrelated to the murders. Prosecutors have sought his records and questioned his credibility. wibc.com
Patterns observed across reporting & alternative-investigator claims
(These are observations/patterns you can test; they do not equal proven links.)
- Rural Midwest context — both crimes happened in small towns (Evansdale and Delphi) with tight communities and local policing models. Investigative resources and interagency cooperation vary. www.desmoinesregister.com
- Alternate narratives invoking ritual/occult language — defense in Delphi pushed “Odinism” theory; some court testimony described “textbook ritual murder” language. Such language circulates in conspiracy/alternative communities and can create pattern-seeking. Treat claims carefully and corroborate forensic/physical evidence. www.indystar.com
- Claims of investigative flaws / withheld evidence — both families and outside investigators have publicly questioned investigative gaps and missed leads (e.g., tip sheet issues in Delphi; long unsolved status in Evansdale). These complaints are central to calls for reexamination. abcnews.go.com
- Personnel & credibility issues — presence of former law-enforcement (like Todd Click) as alternative witnesses; later arrests/discipline of some involved people can be an important avenue to analyze credibility, but not necessarily guilt. wibc.com
Caveats & red lines (must include)
- No public, reliable source found that directly ties a specific perpetrator or official from Delphi to the Evansdale murders.
- Where people allege “partners killed for testimony” or similar claims, these are serious allegations that require extremely careful corroboration before repeating publicly. I will label them as alleged unless you have verifiable evidence. (I did not find reliable reporting that Todd Click’s partner was killed for testimony.)
- Avoid repeating unverified criminal accusations about private individuals in public outputs without documentary evidence — risk of legal exposure and harm to investigation.
Master chart — concise node map (text, copy/paste friendly)
| Node | Key facts (public) | Status / leads to check | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Evansdale victims | Elizabeth Collins (8) & Lyric Cook-Morrissey (10), July 13, 2012; bodies found Dec 5, 2012. | DCI involvement; new DNA tech reported 2025. | No arrests publicly. www.desmoinesregister.com |
| Delphi victims | Abby Williams & Libby German, Feb 2017; video released 2019. | Richard Allen arrested Oct 2022; trial motion hearings 2024–25. | Defense advanced Odinism theory; contested witness Todd Click. www.wishtv.com |
| Todd Click | Former Rushville officer; testified in defense materials; later charged on unrelated official misconduct/forgery counts. | Obtain court records, employment/disciplinary file, witness statements. | Prosecutor sought records to impeach credibility. wibc.com |
| Alleged ritual/Odinism thread | Defense theory in Delphi; some witness testimony referenced ritual language. | Corroborate with physical forensics, witness interviews, documented admissions. | High noise-to-signal ratio — requires careful vetting. www.indystar.com |
| Investigative gaps | Tip handling, missed opportunities cited in reports. | FOIA requests, timeline reconstruction, press archives. | Useful pragmatic next step for accountability. abcnews.go.com |
Practical prep for meeting / briefing with Todd Click (or preparing materials about him)
- Evidence binder (digital & printed): chronology, public court records, press clippings, defense filings mentioning Click, arrest records for Click, and any contemporaneous interview transcripts. (I can compile a clean PDF binder.) wibc.com
- Questions to prioritize (for interviewer or investigator): timeline of Click’s work on Delphi; sources for alleged Odinism leads; documentation for any tips he originated; explanation for why he finds Allen less likely than other named persons; any contemporaneous notes or records he filed. (I can produce a question script.)
- Credibility checklist: cross-check Click’s statements against independent records (timecards, dispatch logs, phone records if legally obtained, witness statements). Note discrepancies. I can produce a side-by-side comparison table.
- Legal safety: If pressing sensitive claims, avoid public accusations without documentary proof; use neutral language (e.g., “Click alleges…”, “Defense presented…”, “Unverified claim that…”) until corroborated.
HOLY AI — investigator system (practical features you can use now)
A compact investigator toolset tuned to truth-restoration, evidence preservation, and pattern analysis:Core modules
- Case ingest & unified timeline — ingest your reports, photos, transcripts, press clippings. Output: master timeline CSV / printable PDF. (I can build the timeline from the documents you paste here.)
- Entity graph / link analysis — map people, places, phone numbers, vehicles, organizations; flag repeated co-occurrence and unexplained overlaps. (I produced a concise node chart above; I can expand this into a larger graph.)
- Credibility scoring layer — objective flags: documented arrest, corroborated testimony, timestamped records, press verification vs single-source claims. (Helps identify which leads to push.)
- Forensic checklist & FOIA/records templates — templated letters to request employment, disciplinary, phone, dispatch and records; chain-of-custody preservation checklists for digital photos and files. (I can draft FOIA/records templates immediately.)
- Secure archive recommendations — encrypted file containers, metadata preservation (EXIF), hash logging to preserve evidence authenticity. (I can provide step-by-step instructions.)
- Public narrative / legal-safe language builder — converts raw findings to neutral, legally-safe public statements tailored for family, press, or reform advocates.
- Open-source intelligence (OSINT) layer — searches public court dockets, news archives, social media timelines for corroboration. (I can run web searches and compile results — as I’m doing here.) How I can assist immediately (examples you can ask me to do now)
- Build the master timeline from your notes/photos/transcripts (paste them here).
- Generate a FOIA / records request for Todd Click’s employment/discipline file (state template).
- Produce a press/package PDF for an independent investigator or oversight body summarizing evidence, flags, and open questions.
- Produce interview scripts and a credibility comparison table for Click and other named persons.
- Run searches and keep updated lists of news & court filings (I can fetch and summarize recent public filings). www.jconline.com
Concrete next steps I can perform for you right now
(choose any; I will do it immediately without asking follow-ups)
- A. Assemble a compact 2-page briefing (Evansdale vs Delphi parallels, issues to investigate, documents to obtain).
- B. Draft a FOIA/records request to Carroll County/Indiana or Iowa DCI (templated and state-specific).
- C. Produce a detailed interview script and credibility checklist for Todd Click.
- D. Compile and export a master timeline CSV from the public sources cited above + any notes you paste.
- E. Create a secure evidence preservation checklist and step-by-step for hashing and storing photos and files. Tell me which letter(s) you want and paste any private docs you want included (or I’ll use only public sources). (I won’t publish anything; I’ll prepare private deliverables for you.)
Final notes & honesty
- I found no verified public evidence linking Delphi suspects or specific officials to Evansdale in a way that proves a shared perpetrator. What exists are overlapping themes, contested testimony, and investigative criticisms that warrant further, careful investigation — which is exactly where a disciplined HOLY-AI investigator system helps. www.desmoinesregister.com
- If you want me to turn this into a compact PDF binder or a spreadsheet (master timeline or node list), tell me which items to include and I’ll assemble it right away. I’m ready to build the briefing/FOIA/interview script you need — pick a letter (A–E) and I’ll produce it now.
