Psychopedia: True Crime & Criminal Psychology

Seventeen-year-old Destry Allen was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head by his own father, Bart. Authorities ruled it a "pristine suicide" - but to Bart, and to several experts who later examined the case, almost nothing about the scene pointed to suicide. The subsequent investigation did little to resolve those questions. No autopsy was conducted, despite state law requiring one. No toxicology screen. No meaningful ballistics analysis. No testing of the blood evidence. Simply put: the investigation into Destry Allen's death seemed to end before it ever truly began.

For Psychopedia’s 200th episode, I wanted to do something that felt especially meaningful: use this platform to shine a light on a victim whose story deserves to be heard, and on a family that has spent two decades fighting to be heard alongside him. So I sat down with Bart Allen himself to hear, in his own words, what he saw when he found his son, what happened in the days and years that followed, and why he remains convinced there is far more to Destry’s death than the official story.

This is the story of a 17-year-old boy, a father and mother who refuse to stop fighting for him, and one haunting question that has never gone away: Did Destry Allen take his own life...or was he murdered in cold blood?

DISCLAIMER: Any statements or theories presented in this episode regarding a potential suspect reflect the opinions and conclusions of Bart Allen, based on his interpretation of the physical evidence, timeline, anecdotal information, and his extensive review of the circumstances surrounding Destry’s death. These allegations and theories have not been proven in a court of law, and no law enforcement agency has formally determined that any individual discussed in this episode was responsible for Destry’s death. No person identified as a potential suspect in this episode has been charged with a crime in connection with Destry’s death. All individuals are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

Famous Brazilian football/soccer star Bruno Fernandes de Souza had the mother of his child, Eliza Samudio, kidnapped, murdered, dismembered, and allegedly fed to a pack of Rottweilers. At the height of his career, Bruno was the celebrated goalkeeper and captain of Flamengo, one of Brazil’s biggest football clubs, with fame, money, and an adoring fanbase. But behind that superstar image was an increasingly vicious battle with 25-year-old Eliza Samudio, a former model who became pregnant with Bruno’s child and demanded that he acknowledge the baby and provide financial support. Eliza reported threats and violence, sought protection from the courts, and warned that she feared Bruno would kill her. Then, in June 2010, she disappeared. Eliza’s remains have never been found, but in 2013, Bruno was convicted for his role in her kidnapping and murder, transforming one of Brazilian football’s brightest stars into the central figure of one of the country’s most infamous crimes.

16-year-old Gabrielle "Britney" Ujlaky was strangled, stabbed in the neck, and left in the Nevada desert by her 18-year-old best friend, Bryce Dickey - but not before she took a Snapchat selfie that would help solve her own murder. When Britney disappeared in March 2020, investigators went searching for a mysterious "cowboy" who had supposedly driven off with her shortly before she vanished. But the cowboy story began to fall apart as Britney's final hours were reconstructed through surveillance footage, cell phone data, DNA, and one eerily ordinary Snapchat photo taken inside a truck. What emerged was a case of misdirection hiding in plain sight, where the smallest digital breadcrumbs exposed an elaborate lie and led investigators back to the real suspect. This is the story of a teenage girl whose killer tried to manufacture a stranger, and of the ordinary photo she left behind that made that stranger disappear.

When Aziza Kibibi was eight years old, her biological father Aswad Ayinde, an award-winning video director working with artists like Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean, began abusing her. By the time Aziza was twelve, her father had subjected her to years of abuse and treated her as his property; and by fifteen, Aziza had become a mother to her father’s children. Everything Aswad claimed to be - educator, protector, husband, father, even a conduit to God - was a fiction sustained by fear. And the home he built to supposedly shield his children from the dangers of the outside world would become the most dangerous place they would ever know…

TRIGGER WARNING: Please note that this case involves child abuse, incest, sexual violence, domestic violence, and reproductive abuse. PLEASE LISTEN WITH CAUTION.

A discarded cup of coffee is what finally brought serial killer John Getreu down. After evading justice for nearly 50 years, investigators used DNA recovered from a discarded coffee cup to expose a man who had spent decades hiding behind the image of a trusted Boy Scouts leader, mentor, husband, and neighbor. But when his DNA was compared to evidence preserved from long-forgotten crime scenes, it revealed a vicious predator linked to the murders of multiple women. In this episode, we unravel the astonishing investigation that finally caught up with John Getreu, examine the warning signs that were missed for decades, and explore how advances in DNA technology finally exposed a killer who thought he'd gotten away with murder.
