Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Breaking testimony from the Kouri Richins murder trial as the prosecution's key witness takes the stand. Carmen Lauber, testifying under immunity deals with three Utah counties and federal authorities, has told jurors she purchased drugs for Kouri Richins four separate times in early 2022—and that Kouri knew the final batch contained fentanyl.According to Lauber's testimony, the drug procurement evolved from pain pills to something lethal. Cash was left in properties Kouri was flipping. Pills were dropped in a firepit. When Lauber told Kouri the drugs were fentanyl, not just standard painkillers, Kouri allegedly said to proceed anyway.The timeline prosecutors have presented is damning. Weeks before Eric Richins died, Kouri allegedly obtained a fraudulent life insurance policy. Months earlier, she had already booked a Caribbean vacation with her boyfriend—scheduled for the month after her husband's death. Text messages to that boyfriend included: "If he could just go away and you could just be here, life would be so perfect."A forensic toxicologist has confirmed Eric had five times the lethal dose of illicit fentanyl in his system when he died. Two weeks before his death, Eric allegedly told a friend he believed his wife was trying to poison him after a sandwich she left him caused severe hives requiring an EpiPen.Defense attorney Wendy Lewis is attacking Lauber's credibility on multiple fronts. Lauber admitted to regular methamphetamine use during the period of the alleged drug purchases. She initially told investigators Kouri asked for oxycodone—not fentanyl. And the defense introduced a recording where an investigator told Lauber to provide details that would ensure conviction. Lauber's response: she'd do whatever it takes.Cross-examination continues. Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Beatrice Erkers decided not to pursue a PhD after concluding that she wanted to do work that had more of a positive impact on the world. She made her way to the Foresight Institute and is now director of their Existential Hope program. In this episode, she describes her reasons for optimism and the work she's doing to create more hope around the benefits of emerging technologies. Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to Beatrice Erkers Bill Burke introduces Beatrice Erkers, Director of the Existential Hope Program at the Foresight Institute. Beatrice's work involves imagining positive futures with technology, and she co-hosts the Existential Hope Podcast. 01:54 From Literature to Foresight Institute Beatrice discusses her career path from comparative literature and history of science to her current role at the Foresight Institute. She explains how an internship and a desire for impactful work led her to discover 80,000 Hours, a resource for meaningful careers, where she found her current position. 05:21 Optimism and the Younger Generation Beatrice shares her inherent optimistic bias, fueled by frustration with pessimism and the influence of Hans Rosling's fact-based optimism. She addresses the concern about rising pessimism in younger generations, advocating for meaningful work as a source of purpose. 09:56 Existential Hope Program & Podcast Beatrice explains the origin of the Existential Hope Program, inspired by a philosophy paper on existential risk and hope. She emphasizes the program's focus on creating a library of hopeful resources and exploring desired futures through technology, with the podcast serving as a flagship for these conversations. 14:53 Hope: Optimism with a Plan Beatrice elaborates on the definition of hope as 'optimism with a plan,' emphasizing awareness of obstacles while believing in a better outcome. 19:03 Eucatastrophe and Penicillin Beatrice introduces the concept of 'eucatastrophe,' a term coined by Tolkien, as the opposite of a catastrophe, representing events that increase value in the world. She uses the invention of penicillin as a powerful example of a eucatastrophe, underscoring its profound positive impact on human life and the rapid advancements in medical treatments. 23:27 Emerging Technologies: Longevity, Neurotech, and AI Beatrice discusses exciting emerging technologies, including longevity research becoming mainstream and the revolutionary potential of neurotech for mental health. 29:40 Addressing Climate Change with Hope Beatrice tackles eco-anxiety by recommending Hannah Ritchie's 'Not the End of the World,' which uses data to show that climate change isn't as dire as often portrayed and that solutions exist. She emphasizes human problem-solving capabilities and the importance of focusing on high-leverage interventions rather than individual, often perceived as pointless, actions. 36:08 World Building for 2035 and 2045 Beatrice explains the Foresight Institute's 'world building' projects for 2035 and 2045, initially focused on AI timelines, which now reflect faster progress. 40:29 Foresight Institute's Future and 40th Anniversary Beatrice outlines the exciting future for the Foresight Institute, including its 40th-anniversary celebrations with three Vision Weekend events globally and the establishment of physical hubs in San Francisco and Berlin. The Existential Hope program will continue its podcast, explore in-person conversations, and expand into short-form media to disseminate ideas on positive AI futures more broadly. 45:04 Concluding Thoughts Bill Burke reflects on the inspiring discussion with Beatrice Erkers about envisioning a hopeful future and the importance of staying optimistic to achieve progress.
