Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Community & Patreon: 'Beret Bunch' Moment

(03:31–07:10)

• The episode opens with light-hearted banter about Áine finally succumbing to pressure and wearing a beret during a Patreon live. Several listeners joined in by wearing berets and sharing photos in the Murder Sheet Facebook group.
• Áine jokes about putting the beret at an angle "so it didn't look super dumb" (05:12), and the origins of Kevin’s Francophile literary bent leads to gentle squabbling about favorite French authors.
  • “Hashtag beret bunch.” – Áine (05:46)
• The theme leads to half the cases this week being French-related.

2. Case Update: Delphi Murders and Richard Allen’s Appeal

(09:24–22:11)

• Kevin provides an update on the status of Richard Allen’s appeal, stressing delays due to missing exhibits needed by Allen’s appellate counsel.
• The delay's root cause is traced to Allen's trial attorney Baldwin reportedly submitting exhibits via flash drive rather than the mandated method.
  • “Terminal case of main character syndrome. That’s all I’ll say.” – Áine, referring to Baldwin (10:33)
• Kevin argues that for the public, the case is “over” since Allen was convicted, but legal wrangling will persist for years.
  • “Richard Allen is going to die in prison. And if he is remembered, he will be remembered as a child killer...” – Kevin (12:21)
• They discuss likely appellate angles (such as the much-mocked “Odinism” third-party theory and potential ineffective counsel arguments), noting both seem weak by legal standards.
  • Áine doubts the effectiveness of these arguments: “You do not have to put everything in a probable cause affidavit. That’s just stupid.” (16:04)
• Both hosts reflect on the cyclical, often irrational discourse among “crank” followers of the case and how perceptions of Allen’s legal team have shifted.
  • “I’ve just seen most of the chatter around Delphi kind of mostly fade away... it’s certainly not at the fever pitch it once was.” – Áine (18:28)
• They credit the appellate team as competent and expect a skillful brief, even if success is unlikely.

3. Case Update: Mark Sanchez Incident in Indianapolis

(22:11–28:47)

• Áine details a brief pretrial hearing for former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez, accused of assaulting 69-year-old truck driver Perry Toll.
• She clarifies that mentioning Toll’s age is not meant as ageism, and reiterates the seriousness of the injuries on both sides.
• Names and roles of the defense (Jim Voyles, Jennifer Luke Meyer, Timothy Delaney) and prosecution are provided.
• The hearing was procedural: Sanchez was excused due to recovering from injuries, and future dates were set.
• Áine notes Sanchez also faces a civil suit from Toll and Fox Corporation.
  • “So we just wanted to update you in Cheat Sheet.” – Áine (28:44)

4. International True Crime: Cedric Jubilar Case (France)

(29:43–37:08)

• Kevin revisits the Cedric Jubilar case—a French man on trial for the presumed murder of his missing wife, despite no recovered body.
• Evidence cited includes Jubilar’s inconsistent timeline (e.g., phone pedometer evidence contradicting his “search”), the victim’s atypically parked car, a broken pair of her glasses, and incriminating statements reported by his mother (“he said, ‘I’m going to kill her and bury her, and they’ll never find her’” – Kevin, 32:28).
• Áine comments on how defense tactics often fall back on conspiracies or discrediting witnesses when evidence is strong.
  • “If you say like, I’m going to murder somebody... that sounds pretty incriminating.” – Áine (32:47)
• Both denounce the wider epidemic of men murdering female partners, emphasizing this is a global crisis and not a culture-specific problem.
  • “It’s predominantly a one way street... the scope of femicide, the scope of men killing women is just—it’s enormous.” – Áine (36:16)

5. Heist at the Louvre: Jewel Theft

(38:53–44:27)

• Áine recounts the daring October 19, 2025 theft at the Louvre, where thieves took French crown jewels in a matter of minutes.
  • “This crime went down in pretty much like a few minutes. I think about, like eight minutes. They got in and they got out.” – Áine (39:54)
• Discussion covers the logistical challenge of fencing such famous treasures, the risk of the pieces being melted down (thus destroying historical value), and the museum director’s resignation offer.
• Kevin compares the event to other famous art thefts, such as the Gardner Museum heist in Boston.
  • “I always am concerned when priceless cultural artifacts are at risk.” – Kevin (44:03)
• Áine notes frustrations with romanticizing art crimes, arguing they deprive the public of their shared history.

6. Lighter Moments & Personal Anecdotes

(45:28–57:31)

• The hosts promote upcoming appearances in Indiana (Bloomington Book Festival, Lafayette Barnes & Noble, Curious Squirrel in Zionsville).
• College stories: Áine shares her competitive streak in a campus game of “Assassins,” recounting her elaborate strategies and eventual dramatic defeat. Kevin reflects on his less eventful, comic book–centric college years.
• Running jokes and affectionate ribbing about the “Chunnel” (the Channel Tunnel) and Kevin’s repeated use of favorite words. Áine gets teased about her beret again.
• Áine self-deprecatingly downplays her “impressive” swim team captaincy as “just being the last woman standing.” (56:24)
• Personal warmth and wit are woven through, ending with discussion of supporter mail, podcast habits, and Áine’s unexpected enjoyment of the Quince beret.
