RICHARD ALLEN; "THERAPY CONFESSIONS"; ALLEGEDLY

_____________________________________________________________________ 

   Dr. Wala was a PhD in Clinical Psychology, who first started

"seeing" Richard Allen, as a patient, in November of 2022-

present (October 2024). She stated that Richard Allen was made

aware of the dangers that could potentially arise in discussing

his case with her. She repeatedly warned Richard that discussing

the case could bring up ethical issues. He told her in April, 2022:

"I want to confess. I killed those two girls. I wanted to rape them,

but he was scared off by the sight and sound of a nearby white

van. He admitted to Dr. Wala that he wanted to apologize to the

the family. He eluded to having a sexual addiction; porn addiction

in early childhood. Richard Allen reported sexually abusing his

sister in childhood. He reports being a victim of sexual abuse in

childhood. He stated that he put branches on the bodies in a panic

to simply quickly cover them and he go undiscovered. He 

expressed relief, post confession, and ask for a chaplan after

the session. She reported that he was calm, while discussing,

with little prompting, his crimes; the doctor reports possible

malingering going on during the times of his bizarre behaviors.

    The doctor said she became aware that Richard Allen had 

confessed to the Warden multiple times as well. She reported

his emotions as up and down; though somewhat erratic. 

Sometimes his thought process aware normal on the whole.

No reported hallucinations; auditory or otherwise.We were working 

on anxiety and depression as a priority Dr. Wala stated.

     In May of 2023, Richard stated, to Dr. Walla, "I killed Abby, I killed

Libby, I killed everyone. I will wipe this world at once." On this same date,

he threatened or incenuated suicidal thoughts and thus was put on

close observation due to his comments directly to his therapist. 

     When asked why he was playing with his feces, he stated that

there was no water and this made no sense. Self-harm was not a prior

issue, though he had threatened previously. 

     Dr. Wala, did once consider a potential psychosis present, bc

of Richard's odd continued behavior on the unit. She said while on

constant supervision, he still had use of the tablet. Richard Allen

chose not to have a tv in his cell. He broke the state issued laptop

assigned unto him.

    Dr. Wala felt that Situational Psychosis was a potential diagnosis.

Moreover, she felt that he had some of the TRAITS of this diagnosis,

it did not meet the hallmarks for such a diagnosis. He asked for the

Dr.'s help in making phone calls to his wife Kathy, where he wanted to

"confess to his wife about murdering Abby and Libby." He wanted the

Dr. to facilitate these confessions and phone calls.

   "I saw my parents that morning. They went to lunch. I drank three beers

Once I got on the trail, I followed the girls. Then I was going to rape

them. I saw their ages, and I saw a white van which scared him, so,

he "wanted to make sure they were dead." He left the scene by staying

off the trail. He said he was able to then go about his life. He admitted

to feeling relief after sharing said confession. He told the doctor that,

above all, whatever happened to him, that he loved his wife; Kathy. 

Dr. Wala states that he made progress on his treatment plan

around this time; continuing to work on depression through therapy

and medication compliance. 

   Richard Allen was re-assessed on Suicide Watch on May 5, 2023.

He was checked on every 10 minutes. On May 9, 2023, he told the

Dr., that he wanted to confess, to "killing the girls." The doctor

redirected him to share his legal concerns with his legal team and

not in therapy. He begged the Dr. in therapy sessions to call his wife.

He wanted to tell Kathy with the Dr. present his "confession." He said

to his wife, "I killed Abby and Libby." She hung up on Richard.

He stated, "She doesn't believe me." (of his wife Kathy).
