Former prosecutor turned defense attorney Eric Faddis delivers dual-perspective analysis on two murder cases making national headlines: Michael McKee in Ohio and Kouri Richins in Utah.The McKee case looks strong on paper. Surveillance footage allegedly places him at Monique and Spencer Tepe's property weeks before the murders. Witnesses describe death threats going back years. Stolen license plates. A phone that went dark. Vehicle tracking data. Eric breaks down which evidence is most damaging from a prosecution standpoint—then switches sides to reveal the defense's playbook: motions to exclude prior abuse allegations, hearsay fights over statements from the deceased victim, and strategies to create reasonable doubt.The Richins case is in crisis. Trial starts February 23rd, but the defense just alleged witness intimidation—claiming investigators threatened arrest and immunity revocation to force cooperation. Key fentanyl sourcing witness Robert Crozier has recanted, now saying he sold OxyContin, not the fentanyl that killed Eric Richins. Judge Mrazik has limited the FBI profiler, excluded domestic violence evidence, and only partially admitted the "Walk the Dog" letter.No fentanyl was ever recovered. No pills. No forensic link. Five times the lethal dose in the victim's system—but a supply chain theory that just collapsed.Eric Faddis knows what prosecutors are building toward and what defense attorneys are planning to tear apart. This is the complete breakdown of both cases from someone who's worked both sides.#MichaelMcKee #KouriRichins #MoniqueTepe #EricRichins #TrueCrimeToday #MurderCases #ProsecutionStrategy #WitnessRecants #WitnessIntimidation #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis delivers the definitive analysis of two murder cases dominating headlines: the Michael McKee case in Ohio and the Kouri Richins trial in Utah.On McKee: Eric examines the prosecution's case against Monique Tepe's ex-husband from both sides of the courtroom. The affidavit details surveillance footage, death threats spanning years, stolen plates, cell phone blackouts, and vehicle tracking. Which evidence is most critical? Where are the weaknesses? Then Eric flips to the defense perspective—the motions to exclude prior abuse allegations, the hearsay battles over statements Monique made to friends, and how to create reasonable doubt when the phone went dark and the car was tracked arriving and leaving.On Richins: Two weeks before trial, the prosecution is taking hits. The defense just alleged witness intimidation—investigators allegedly threatened witnesses with arrest and immunity revocation. Key sourcing witness Robert Crozier has recanted, saying he sold OxyContin, not the fentanyl that killed Eric Richins. Judge Mrazik limited the FBI profiler and excluded domestic violence evidence. The "Walk the Dog" letter is only partially admitted.No fentanyl was ever found. No pills. No forensic link. Five times the lethal dose—but how do you prove poisoning when your supply chain is broken?Eric Faddis spent years building cases like these—and he's spent years tearing them apart. This is the full breakdown of prosecution strategy, defense playbooks, and where both cases could still go wrong.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #KouriRichins #EricRichins #MurderCases #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #WitnessRecants #MurderTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Kouri Richins goes to trial in two weeks on aggravated murder charges for allegedly poisoning her husband Eric Richins with fentanyl. But the prosecution's case is taking serious damage heading into opening statements.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down the chaos on True Crime Today.The defense just filed a motion alleging witness intimidation. Detective Jeff O'Driscoll allegedly threatened a witness with arrest and "a catch pole for the dog" if they didn't cooperate with prep calls. Investigator Travis Hopper allegedly told another witness their immunity could be revoked if they declined additional meetings. Is this witness intimidation—or standard prosecution tactics?The bigger problem: Robert Crozier has recanted. He was the state's key fentanyl sourcing witness—the link between the street supply and the housekeeper who allegedly gave drugs to Kouri. Now Crozier says he sold OxyContin, not fentanyl, and that he was detoxing and confused during his original interview. The defense says this "eviscerates" the prosecution's theory.Eric analyzes whether the state can pivot—and whether pivoting mid-trial destroys credibility with the jury.Judge Mrazik's pretrial rulings add complexity: the FBI profiler is limited in what she can say, domestic violence evidence is excluded, and the "Walk the Dog" letter is only partially admitted. That letter, allegedly found in Kouri's jail cell, appears to instruct her mother how to testify.No fentanyl was recovered. No pills. No murder weapon. Five times the lethal dose in Eric's system—but a broken supply chain. Does the state still have a prosecutable case?#KouriRichins #EricRichins #TrueCrimeToday #FentanylPoisoning #WitnessRecants #UtahMurder #WalkTheDogLetter #MurderTrial #WitnessIntimidation #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Kouri Richins murder trial is two weeks away and the prosecution is facing a credibility crisis on multiple fronts.Defense attorneys just filed a motion accusing lead detective Jeff O'Driscoll and investigator Travis Hopper of intimidating state witnesses. Text messages attached to the filing allegedly show O'Driscoll threatening one witness with arrest and jail if she didn't submit to prep sessions she had refused. His message reportedly included a threat to return with "a warrant and a catch pole for the dog." A second witness claims Hopper warned that their immunity agreement could be revoked for declining additional interviews.This follows months of pretrial battles over evidence and witness credibility. In January, defense attorneys questioned O'Driscoll's truthfulness during suppression hearings about whether he knew Richins had an attorney when he interviewed her. Summit County brought in outside counsel to investigate. The defense also revealed that Robert Crozier — the man prosecutors say supplied the fentanyl that killed Eric Richins — has recanted, now claiming he sold OxyContin, not fentanyl.Prosecutors maintain substantial evidence still supports the charges. Judge Richard Mrazik denied Richins' third bail request in November, finding the recantation creates holes but not enough to undermine the case.Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder and maintains her innocence. She's been held in Summit County Jail since May 2023. Jury selection begins February 10th.#TrueCrimeToday #KouriRichins #EricRichins #UtahMurderTrial #WitnessIntimidation #FentanylPoisoning #RobertCrozier #CarmenLauber #JudgeMrazik #TrueCrimeNewsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Kouri Richins murder trial begins February 23rd. But two weeks out, the prosecution's case is taking hits from multiple directions.The defense just filed a motion alleging witness intimidation. Lead detective Jeff O'Driscoll allegedly texted a witness saying essentially: answer our calls so we can prep you, or next time I knock on your door, I'll have a warrant and a catch pole for your dog. Investigator Travis Hopper allegedly told another witness that their previously granted immunity "remains conditional upon continued cooperation"—and declining further meetings could put that immunity at risk.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis analyzes whether these allegations constitute actual witness intimidation under Utah law or aggressive but legal tactics.Then there's Robert Crozier. He was the state's key fentanyl sourcing witness. He originally said he sold fentanyl to the housekeeper allegedly in the supply chain. Now he says it was OxyContin, not fentanyl—and that he was detoxing and "out of it" during the original interview. The defense says this "eviscerates" the prosecution's theory. Eric breaks down whether the state can recover.We examine Judge Mrazik's pretrial rulings: limiting the FBI profiler, excluding domestic violence evidence, and partially admitting the "Walk the Dog" letter allegedly instructing Kouri's mother how to lie on the stand.No fentanyl was ever recovered.

The Kouri Richins murder case just took a sharp turn nobody saw coming — and it's not about the defendant. It's about how the prosecution has allegedly been treating its own witnesses.Defense attorneys filed a motion this week revealing text messages they say show lead detective Jeff O'Driscoll threatening a reluctant witness with arrest, jail, and a "catch pole for the dog" if she didn't comply with witness prep. A second witness with immunity was allegedly told by investigator Travis Hopper that their deal was conditional on continued cooperation — cooperation they say they already provided two years ago.This is the same Detective O'Driscoll whose credibility was challenged in January suppression hearings after the defense claimed he testified falsely about knowing Richins had an attorney. An outside investigation found no evidence of untruthfulness, but the questions remain.Meanwhile, the prosecution's key drug source — Robert Crozier — has recanted his statement that he sold fentanyl to Richins' housekeeper. He now claims it was OxyContin. Prosecutors argue the recantation doesn't hold up. The defense says it "throws a grenade" into the state's case.Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty and maintained her innocence since her May 2023 arrest. She's accused of fatally poisoning her husband Eric Richins with fentanyl in March 2022. Trial begins February 23rd.When state witnesses start asking the defense for help, something has gone sideways.#KouriRichins #HiddenKillers #WitnessIntimidation #EricRichins #UtahMurder #TrueCrimePodcast #FentanylMurder #DetectiveODriscoll #CriminalJustice #MurderTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Trial starts February 23rd. Kouri Richins faces aggravated murder charges in the fentanyl poisoning death of her husband Eric Richins. And with two weeks to go, the case is in chaos.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us live to break down the last-minute developments rocking this prosecution. A new motion alleges witness intimidation—the lead detective allegedly threatened a witness with a warrant and "a catch pole for the dog" if they didn't answer prep calls. Another investigator allegedly told a witness their immunity could be revoked if they stopped cooperating.Is this witness intimidation? Or hardball tactics that happen in every major case? Eric provides the legal analysis.Then there's the Crozier recantation. Robert Crozier was supposed to be the link in the fentanyl supply chain. He originally said he sold fentanyl to the housekeeper who allegedly gave it to Kouri. Now he says it was OxyContin—and he was detoxing during the original interview. Can the prosecution's sourcing theory survive this blow?We'll examine Judge Mrazik's key rulings: limiting what the FBI profiler can say, excluding domestic violence evidence, and partially admitting the "Walk the Dog" letter allegedly instructing witness tampering.No fentanyl was ever found. No pills. No forensic link. The toxicology shows five times the lethal dose—but how do you prove murder when your supply chain is broken?Join us live with your questions as we preview one of the most closely watched trials of 2025.#KouriRichins #EricRichins #LiveTrueCrime #WitnessIntimidation #UtahMurderTrial #FentanylPoisoning #HiddenKillersLive #WalkTheDogLetter #TrialPreview #WitnessRecantsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/9ue8hl0hDpc In this Case Brief, we cover the significant rulings from the recent sealed motions hearing that are shaping the upcoming trial of Kouri Richins. She is accused of killing her husband, Eric Richins, with a lethal dose of fentanyl. The judge has granted Court TV full camera access, allowing for the live streaming of the trial proceedings. The court ruled, in part, on the admissibility of the highly controversial "walk the dog letter" (Docket 214). The prosecution argues the letter, written by the defendant, is an attempt to solicit false testimony from her brother to support a fabricated defense that Eric obtained fentanyl, thus revealing her "consciousness of guilt." The Kouri Richins trial is set to begin on February 23rd, with jury selection starting on February 11th. Don't miss this crucial breakdown of what the jury is likely to see and hear!

Major developments in the Kouri Richins case as Judge Richard Mrazik issues critical pre-trial rulings just weeks before jury selection begins. Kouri Richins, the Utah mother and real estate agent charged with aggravated murder in the 2022 fentanyl death of her husband Eric Richins, will now face a narrower trial than prosecutors intended. The judge ruled this week that financial crime charges — including insurance fraud, mortgage fraud, and forgery — will be tried separately, meaning the jury deciding the murder case won't hear those allegations. A domestic violence expert has been barred from testifying after defense attorneys argued there's no evidence of abuse in twelve terabytes of discovery. Former FBI behavioral analyst Molly Amman can only testify in limited rebuttal capacity and cannot suggest Kouri fits a killer profile. However, handwriting expert Matt Throckmorton will testify that Eric's signature on insurance documents was allegedly forged. The controversial orange notebook — allegedly containing Kouri's own account of the night Eric died — may be admitted if prosecutors meet evidentiary requirements. Prosecutors allege Kouri first tried to poison Eric with a fentanyl-laced sandwich on Valentine's Day 2022, then succeeded seventeen days later with a Moscow Mule. The defense has challenged the state's evidence, noting a key witness recanted his statement about selling fentanyl. Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty and maintains her innocence. Trial begins February 10, 2026.#KouriRichins #TrueCrimeToday #EricRichins #UtahCrime #FentanylPoisoning #MurderTrial #TrueCrimePodcast #CriminalJustice #CourtNews #TrueCrimeNewsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Kouri Richins is set to stand trial in February 2026 for the alleged fentanyl murder of her husband Eric Richins, and this week Judge Richard Mrazik handed down a cascade of pre-trial rulings that reshape everything. The prosecution wanted to paint Kouri as a woman who ran financial schemes for years before allegedly escalating to murder — but the judge just severed those fraud and forgery charges from the murder trial entirely. The jury won't hear them. The domestic violence expert prosecutors wanted to call? Barred. The FBI behavioral profiler? Severely limited. But the handwriting expert who says Kouri allegedly forged Eric's signature on insurance documents? He's in. The orange notebook containing what prosecutors call Kouri's firsthand account of the night Eric died? Conditionally admitted. The "Walk the Dog" letter found in her jail cell? Partially in. This episode breaks down every ruling from this week's hearings, what each one means for trial strategy, and how the battlefield has now been defined for both sides. We'll walk through the Valentine's Day sandwich allegation, the Moscow Mule, the $1.8 million debt versus the $5 million estate, the key witness who recanted, and why prosecutors are heading into this trial with a tighter case than they wanted. Jury selection begins February 10th. Five weeks of testimony starts February 23rd. Kouri Richins says she didn't do it. Twelve jurors will decide if they believe her.#KouriRichins #EricRichins #TrueCrime #FentanylMurder #UtahMurder #MurderTrial #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeCommunity #JusticeForEric #CourtTVJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on @TheEmilyDBaker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/Gi3OiGX-PBs In this Case Brief update on the Kouri Richins case, we delve into the latest motions filed by the defense, including their attempt to subpoena Kouri Richins' sister-in-law, Katie Richins-Benson, the executive of the estate. The defense is seeking financial activities of the Eric Richins' living trust from March 3rd, 2022, to the present, as well as copies of checks drawn from the sister-in-law's personal or business accounts made payable to individuals connected to the investigation. Katie's attorney responds to the subpoena, calling the requests vague, ambiguous, and an "undue burden" and "blind fishing expedition" aimed at harassment. The attorney clarifies that individuals the defense insinuated were "paid witnesses" are actually retained expert witnesses in the civil case regarding the estate. The defense claims a witness, Robert Crozier, recanted his statement about selling fentanyl, now stating he only sold Oxy or Roxy's. The prosecution argues there's no undisclosed exculpatory evidence and that Crozier's recent assertion is not credible. The defense's motion to reconsider bail and conditions of release is discussed, with the prosecution asserting that Crozier's changed statement does not amount to a material change in circumstance. Kouri Richins' attorneys request a hearing in the civil case regarding the estate to compel production of trust report information and enforce an order requiring trust accounting, believing this information will impact the criminal trial. Stay tuned for more updates on the Kouri Richins case as motions ramp up and court dates are set.

A major shock just hit the Kouri Richins murder case—and it's not coming from the defense. It's coming from the prosecution's own key witness, who now says he never sold fentanyl to anyone connected to Richins. That single statement might be enough to crack the entire case wide open. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dig into the explosive new affidavit from Robert Crozier, the alleged drug dealer the state claims supplied the fentanyl that killed Eric Richins. In newly filed court documents, Crozier swears under oath that he didn't sell fentanyl—he sold oxycodone. And that one change blows a hole straight through the state's carefully constructed narrative. The defense has now filed a motion to reconsider bail and another to compel evidence disclosure, claiming the prosecution knew about this change as far back as April 2025—and said nothing. If true, this isn't just a twist. It could be a Brady violation—a failure to turn over exculpatory evidence—which would shake the case at its core. We break down everything: the potential legal fallout, the impact on the upcoming February 2026 trial, and whether prosecutors can still prove murder without being able to trace the weapon—fentanyl—back to the accused. And with no physical pills, no forensic link, and a recanted witness, the state may now be walking into court with a theory that's missing its spine. Is this the beginning of the end for the prosecution's case against Kouri Richins? Or will the state fight back with new evidence to keep their narrative alive? This one changes everything. #KouriRichins #TrueCrime #FentanylMurder #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #LegalDrama #CourtroomTwist #MurderTrial #BreakingNews #JusticeSystem Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dig into the explosive new affidavit from Robert Crozier, the alleged drug dealer the state claims supplied the fentanyl that killed Eric Richins. In newly filed court documents, Crozier swears under oath that he didn't sell fentanyl—he sold oxycodone. And that one change blows a hole straight through the state's carefully constructed narrative. The defense has now filed a motion to reconsider bail and another to compel evidence disclosure, claiming the prosecution knew about this change as far back as April 2025—and said nothing. If true, this isn't just a twist. It could be a Brady violation—a failure to turn over exculpatory evidence—which would shake the case at its core. We break down everything: the potential legal fallout, the impact on the upcoming February 2026 trial, and whether prosecutors can still prove murder without being able to trace the weapon—fentanyl—back to the accused. And with no physical pills, no forensic link, and a recanted witness, the state may now be walking into court with a theory that's missing its spine. Is this the beginning of the end for the prosecution's case against Kouri Richins? Or will the state fight back with new evidence to keep their narrative alive?

Did the state just turn the case on its head? Defense claims the drug dealer who sold the middle woman the fentanyl that killed Eric Richins told prosecutors in April of this year that he didn't sell her fentanyl, but oxycodone. He claims he was detoxing when he made his original statement and was "out of it"Defense says the state did not inform them of this & has known for months.We break down the 2 affidavits by the witness/drug dealer, a new request for bond, and the defense wanting all communications the state has of any and all information from setting up the interview to summaries of the April meeting. The defense says now the state's entire case is in jeopardy because their case hinged on Kouri getting the fentanyl from the middle woman who in turn got it from the drug dealer.

Could Kouri Richins Walk Free Because Of Her Deceased Dealer Description: The alleged drug dealer is dead. The victim is dead. And now, key parts of the prosecution's case against Kouri Richins might be collapsing under the weight of missing witnesses. In this episode, criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to explore how the death of the man believed to have supplied the fentanyl used to kill Eric Richins could complicate the path to conviction. Without testimony or cross-examination, and with hearsay limitations blocking some statements from entering court, the prosecution's narrative faces serious structural risks. We break down why this isn't just a technicality—it's a critical gap in the case. Without the dealer, prosecutors can't directly tie Kouri to the source of the lethal dose. And when you're relying on circumstantial connections, every missing link matters. Eric Faddis explains how the defense will seize this opportunity to frame the case as speculative, thin, and built more on suspicion than solid proof. Could the loss of this witness be enough to create reasonable doubt? And could the state's strongest weapon—its motive narrative—start to look more like a theory than a prosecutable truth? The stakes are high. The witnesses are gone. And the question is real: could Kouri Richins walk because the case is fading before it even starts?

The children's book “Are you with me” was a book published March of 2023 by Kouri Richins. The 42-page children's book talks to specifically kids who have lost loved ones and how to cope with it. Helping children understand the idea of death and see it as more peaceful rather than sad. Now from first glance, this book looks perfect for children struggling with grief. But it would later be revealed that the author Kouri, had murdered her husband just the year prior and shared 3 children with him. And on the year anniversary of his death, she published a book about grief to help her kids cope with the loss of their father. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/BCja5KnBz4kThe complex civil lawsuits surrounding the estate of Eric Richins, husband of Kouri Richins, who is accused of his murder. These civil cases are stayed (on hold) as the Kouri Richins' criminal case and are being handled by the same judge, which is noted as unusual. A conviction could significantly alter her entitlements under the law (e.g., preventing her from inheriting). The criminal trial's outcome will also impact the ability to depose Kouri Richins for the civil cases.Eric Richins's sister, Katie Richins Benson, acting as the representative of Eric's estate and trustee of his living trust, has sued Kouri Richins, her mother, her brother, and Kouri Richins Reality (KRR) for various alleged improper financial actions.Kouri Richins has countersued the estate, arguing she is entitled to a portion of Eric's assets. She seeks declaratory judgment and quiet title, asking the court to declare that she owns 50% of the home, personal property, and business interest. She also seeks a money judgment against the estate for unjust enrichment. These actions also takes money away from her children's future.RESOURCESKouri Richins New Charges - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43ULdoW-g4wKouri Richins Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gJYyEMQDM_Cn4icqWBV20fW Walk The Dog Letter - https://www.youtube.com/live/9vmnAHDbBJ0&t=3636sThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy
Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/43ULdoW-g4wNew charges against Kouri Richins are building upon her existing charges for the murder and attempted murder of her husband, Eric Richins. A significant portion of the new charges revolves around Kouri Richins's financial dealings and mounting debt. Richins wrote checks from an account with a zero balance and an extended line of credit to her business account (which was negative), then immediately transferred funds out before the checks could bounce. This included a $1,000 transfer to her mother and $2,000 to her personal account.In late 2021, Richins owned a home with substantial short-term, high-interest loans. She unsuccessfully tried to refinance the property into a traditional mortgage. She then "seller-financed" the property for her best friend, her best friend's husband, and their three children, who moved in and agreed to pay $2,900/month in rent with an option to buy. The best friend wired $45,000 as a down payment for a supposed long-term mortgage. Richins immediately spent this money on unrelated personal expenses and other creditors, leaving the best friend vulnerable to foreclosure and eventual eviction from the home.The case is still scheduled for trial in February 2026. The financial charges are separate from the murder case but some information will overlap as evidence of motive and consciousness of guilt.RESOURCESKouri Richins Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gJYyEMQDM_Cn4icqWBV20fWPreliminary Hearing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCpQt7jwelEBail Hearing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL62suOhaD8This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

Kouri Richins, the Utah woman now facing murder and fraud charges, allegedly hosted a large house party at her home just one day after her husband, Eric Richins, was found dead from a fentanyl overdose in March 2022. According to court documents and witness accounts, the party followed her closing on a $2 million home tied to her real estate business. Friends who attended described the gathering as festive, with Kouri drinking and celebrating in what prosecutors claim was a highly inappropriate and suspicious display of behavior for a newly widowed spouse. This event has since become a focal point in the prosecution's argument that Kouri's grief was staged and that her husband's death was a premeditated act.Prosecutors allege that this celebration, so soon after Eric's death, reinforces the theory that his murder was financially motivated. In addition to the house party, investigators cite digital records and financial transactions showing Kouri's alleged attempts to fraudulently obtain life insurance benefits and make unauthorized withdrawals from Eric's accounts. They argue the party was not only tone-deaf but revealing—a moment of premature victory in what she may have seen as the successful execution of a plan. Her defense team, however, contends that the party was tied to her real estate business dealings and has been mischaracterized by the prosecution.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Mormon mom accused of poisoning husband allegedly hosted large house party day after his death | Daily Mail Online

Kouri Richins is a 33‑year‑old Utah mother of three, a former real estate agent, and author of a self‑published children's book titled Are You With Me?, which addresses coping with the death of a parent. In March 2022, her husband, Eric Richins, was found dead from a lethal dose of illicit fentanyl. Prosecutors allege Kouri poisoned him—first with a bagel sandwich on Valentine's Day and later via a fentanyl‑laced Moscow mule cocktail—and wrote the grief book afterward, allegedly to bolster her narrative of his “unexpected” death.Additionally, in June 2025, she was charged with 26 new felony counts—including mortgage fraud, money laundering, forgery, issuing bad checks, communications fraud, and engaging in a pattern of unlawful activity—stemming from alleged financial misconduct tied to her husband's finances and her real estate company both before and after his death.

One month after promoting her book on a local television show, Kouri was arrested and charged with murdering her husband. Award-winning Trial Attorney and Host of the Courtroom Confidential Podcast Joshua Ritter recaps the facts of the case and shares what listeners can expect to see in Kouri's upcoming trial.

As the high-profile case of Kouri Richins moves toward trial, prosecutors and defense attorneys are locked in a battle over the admissibility of key evidence that could shape the outcome. Richins is charged with the murder of her husband, Eric Richins, who died in March 2022 from a fentanyl overdose. With conflicting narratives surrounding the investigation, both sides are arguing over whether law enforcement followed proper procedures in collecting crucial materials. From the beginning, investigators struggled to determine whether Eric Richins' death was an accident, suicide, or homicide. Detective Jeff O'Driscoll, one of the lead investigators, testified that Kouri Richins was not initially considered a prime suspect. "We knew Eric had died of a fentanyl overdose but did not know whether it was an accident, suicide, or homicide," O'Driscoll explained. He described Richins as “very cheery, very open” when he first spoke with her at her home, a characterization that has drawn skepticism. Defense attorney Kathy Nestor questioned the detective's methods, particularly his extended three-hour stay at the house and his failure to inform Richins that their conversation was being recorded. Nestor also challenged why investigators obtained Richins' phone records before meeting with her without notifying her legal counsel. O'Driscoll defended his approach, stating, "In order to be thorough, I was trying to investigate all of those possibilities." Further controversy surrounds how law enforcement seized Richins' phone. During a traffic stop shortly after the initial search of her home, Eric Maynard of the Summit County Sheriff's Office collected her phone. In a recording played in court, Richins could be heard crying, but Maynard testified, "I did not see tears." He also acknowledged an error in his report that mistakenly stated she was in custody at the time of the seizure. The defense argues these inconsistencies raise serious concerns about the credibility of the investigation. Adding to the case's complexity is a letter titled "Walk the dog!!" discovered in Richins' jail cell. Prosecutors claim the letter contains instructions for her mother and brother about how to handle their testimony and financial matters. The prosecution argues the document is an attempt at witness tampering, particularly with its references to a person known as "Lotto," described as an intimate acquaintance of Richins. Deputy Summit County Attorney Brad Bloodworth emphasized the significance of the letter, stating, "This is not trial preparation; it's about controlling testimony and publicity." The defense has countered by suggesting the letter could be covered under attorney-client privilege because it references legal advice, challenging whether it should be allowed in court. Another disputed issue is the search warrants executed against Richins. Less than three weeks after O'Driscoll's initial interview with her, investigators obtained a warrant to search her home for evidence, including copper cups and counterfeit pills. During this search, an orange notebook was seized, though its relevance remains in question. Additionally, when Richins was arrested outside a Salt Lake County business, authorities seized another phone, which her legal team claims may have been improperly handled. Beyond the murder charges, Richins faces additional allegations of mortgage fraud and forgery, which will be addressed in a separate trial. As attorneys on both sides continue filing briefs to challenge or defend the evidence, the judge will make final rulings after an upcoming hearing. With the trial scheduled for April, the battle over what evidence the jury will hear is far from over. As prosecutors push to include key materials linking Richins to financial motives and potential witness manipulation, the defense is fighting to suppress evidence they claim was obtained improperly. The outcome of these legal skirmishes could play a pivotal role in determining whether Kouri Richins is ultimately convicted of her husband's death. #KouriRichins #TrueCrime #EricRichins #MurderTrial #LegalNews #CrimeInvestigation #CourtroomDrama Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

As the high-profile case of Kouri Richins moves toward trial, prosecutors and defense attorneys are locked in a battle over the admissibility of key evidence that could shape the outcome. Richins is charged with the murder of her husband, Eric Richins, who died in March 2022 from a fentanyl overdose. With conflicting narratives surrounding the investigation, both sides are arguing over whether law enforcement followed proper procedures in collecting crucial materials. From the beginning, investigators struggled to determine whether Eric Richins' death was an accident, suicide, or homicide. Detective Jeff O'Driscoll, one of the lead investigators, testified that Kouri Richins was not initially considered a prime suspect. "We knew Eric had died of a fentanyl overdose but did not know whether it was an accident, suicide, or homicide," O'Driscoll explained. He described Richins as “very cheery, very open” when he first spoke with her at her home, a characterization that has drawn skepticism. Defense attorney Kathy Nestor questioned the detective's methods, particularly his extended three-hour stay at the house and his failure to inform Richins that their conversation was being recorded. Nestor also challenged why investigators obtained Richins' phone records before meeting with her without notifying her legal counsel. O'Driscoll defended his approach, stating, "In order to be thorough, I was trying to investigate all of those possibilities." Further controversy surrounds how law enforcement seized Richins' phone. During a traffic stop shortly after the initial search of her home, Eric Maynard of the Summit County Sheriff's Office collected her phone. In a recording played in court, Richins could be heard crying, but Maynard testified, "I did not see tears." He also acknowledged an error in his report that mistakenly stated she was in custody at the time of the seizure. The defense argues these inconsistencies raise serious concerns about the credibility of the investigation. Adding to the case's complexity is a letter titled "Walk the dog!!" discovered in Richins' jail cell. Prosecutors claim the letter contains instructions for her mother and brother about how to handle their testimony and financial matters. The prosecution argues the document is an attempt at witness tampering, particularly with its references to a person known as "Lotto," described as an intimate acquaintance of Richins. Deputy Summit County Attorney Brad Bloodworth emphasized the significance of the letter, stating, "This is not trial preparation; it's about controlling testimony and publicity." The defense has countered by suggesting the letter could be covered under attorney-client privilege because it references legal advice, challenging whether it should be allowed in court. Another disputed issue is the search warrants executed against Richins. Less than three weeks after O'Driscoll's initial interview with her, investigators obtained a warrant to search her home for evidence, including copper cups and counterfeit pills. During this search, an orange notebook was seized, though its relevance remains in question. Additionally, when Richins was arrested outside a Salt Lake County business, authorities seized another phone, which her legal team claims may have been improperly handled. Beyond the murder charges, Richins faces additional allegations of mortgage fraud and forgery, which will be addressed in a separate trial. As attorneys on both sides continue filing briefs to challenge or defend the evidence, the judge will make final rulings after an upcoming hearing. With the trial scheduled for April, the battle over what evidence the jury will hear is far from over. As prosecutors push to include key materials linking Richins to financial motives and potential witness manipulation, the defense is fighting to suppress evidence they claim was obtained improperly. The outcome of these legal skirmishes could play a pivotal role in determining whether Kouri Richins is ultimately convicted of her husband's death. #KouriRichins #TrueCrime #EricRichins #MurderTrial #LegalNews #CrimeInvestigation #CourtroomDrama Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The high-profile case of Kouri Richins, charged with murdering her husband, Eric Richins, has entered a critical phase as attorneys contest the admissibility of key evidence ahead of her trial. Eric Richins died in March 2022 from a fentanyl overdose, and investigators took over a year to arrest his wife. The case is attracting attention due to conflicting narratives about the investigation process and the evidence gathered. Detective Jeff O'Driscoll, one of the lead investigators, testified about his early visits to Kouri Richins, emphasizing that she was not initially a primary suspect. "We knew Eric had died of a fentanyl overdose but did not know whether it was an accident, suicide, or homicide," O'Driscoll explained. He described Kouri Richins as “very cheery, very open” during his visit, though defense attorney Kathy Nestor criticized his approach. Nestor questioned why O'Driscoll stayed in the home for three hours and why Richins was not informed about an audio recording of their conversation. Nestor also raised issues about O'Driscoll obtaining phone records prior to the visit without notifying Richins or her attorney. "In order to be thorough, I was trying to investigate all of those possibilities," O'Driscoll replied, maintaining that his actions were standard procedure. Investigators executed multiple search warrants, but these operations have drawn scrutiny. During a traffic stop shortly after the first search, Eric Maynard of the Summit County Sheriff's Office obtained Richins' phone. A recording played in court revealed Richins crying during their conversation, but Maynard testified, "I did not see tears." He said she voluntarily gave her phone password but later admitted a mistake in his report, which stated she was in custody at the time. Another contentious piece of evidence is a letter titled "Walk the dog!!" discovered in Kouri Richins' jail cell.

The letter also mentions a person referred to as "Lotto," described as an intimate acquaintance of Kouri Richins.

However, the defense has questioned whether the letter falls under attorney-client privilege due to references to legal advice. Deputy Summit County Attorney Brad Bloodworth defended the inclusion of the letter, asserting, "This is not trial preparation; it's about controlling testimony and publicity."

Additionally, Richins' arrest outside a Salt Lake County business involved another phone seizure, which her defense argues may have been mishandled.

As the trial approaches, attorneys are tasked with submitting written briefs to address unresolved evidentiary disputes.

In addition to the murder charges, Kouri Richins faces separate allegations of financial crimes, including mortgage fraud, which will be addressed in a subsequent trial. The case's complexity and high stakes underscore the challenges of balancing thorough investigation with legal safeguards.

A new twist has emerged in the case against Kouri Richins, the Utah mother accused of fatally poisoning her husband, Eric Richins. The investigation into Eric's death, which revealed a lethal dose of fentanyl in his system, has now introduced a key witness, though he will never take the stand due to his sudden death in a motorcycle accident. William Hayden Jeffs, a 35-year-old handyman, was reportedly in contact with Kouri around the time of Eric's death. Investigators claim that Kouri reached out to Jeffs just weeks before her husband's passing, asking him if he could obtain fentanyl and propofol, an anesthetic, for her. These substances, particularly fentanyl, are central to the allegations against Kouri, who is accused of poisoning Eric with a cocktail of illicit fentanyl. In a search warrant filed by authorities, it was revealed that Jeffs had provided investigators with text messages that confirmed his communication with Kouri regarding these drugs. He allegedly shared copies of the messages with police, further linking him to the case. Unfortunately, Jeffs died in a motorcycle crash on September 30, two months before the trial could proceed. His death has complicated the prosecution's efforts to bring him into court as a witness, but authorities are still examining his phone, which was seized by law enforcement. The Summit County Sheriff's Office requested the phone as part of the ongoing investigation into Kouri Richins' alleged actions. However, the documents associated with the case have not clarified whether Jeffs actually supplied Kouri with fentanyl or other drugs. Kouri Richins, who authored a children's book about grief following her husband's death, has been charged with multiple offenses, including aggravated murder. According to the autopsy, Eric's fentanyl levels were five times the lethal dose, and the medical examiner confirmed that the fentanyl was not medical-grade but illicit. The prosecution claims that Kouri intentionally poisoned Eric with a fatal dose of fentanyl, and they continue to investigate her interactions with other individuals from whom she may have purchased the drugs. Although Jeffs is no longer able to testify, the investigation is still ongoing, and the case remains complex as investigators search for more evidence. Kouri's trial is set to begin in April 2025, with a pre-trial conference scheduled for December 12, 2024. As the investigation continues, the revelation of Jeffs' involvement and his tragic death adds a layer of intrigue and uncertainty to the case, making it one to watch in the months ahead.

Kouri Richins, a Utah mother and author accused of fatally poisoning her husband, Eric Richins, with a fentanyl-laced cocktail in March 2022, allegedly sought drugs from multiple sources prior to his death. Investigators revealed that Richins approached her handyman, William Hayden Jeffs, requesting fentanyl and propofol in the weeks leading up to her husband's demise. Jeffs provided police with text messages corroborating her requests.Tragically, Jeffs died in a traffic accident on September 30, 2024, shortly after cooperating with authorities. Following his death, a search warrant was issued to examine his phone for further evidence.Richins, who authored a children's book on grief after her husband's death, faces multiple charges, including aggravated murder, and has pleaded not guilty. Her trial is scheduled for April 2025.James Craig, a Colorado dentist, was arrested in March 2023 for allegedly murdering his wife, Angela Craig, by poisoning her protein shakes with cyanide and tetrahydrozoline. Investigations revealed that Craig had conducted online searches related to undetectable poisons and had been involved in an extramarital affair, suggesting a motive to start a new life. Angela, a mother of six, died after multiple hospitalizations, with toxicology reports confirming the presence of the aforementioned substances.While incarcerated, Craig reportedly attempted to orchestrate the murder of a detective involved in his case by soliciting a fellow inmate. He also allegedly sought to fabricate evidence by enlisting another inmate to plant fake suicide notes to imply his wife's death was self-inflicted. These actions led to additional charges of solicitation to commit murder and perjury.

Kouri Richins, a Utah children's book author accused of fatally poisoning her husband with fentanyl in 2022, will remain behind bars after a judge denied her bail request. Richins, who wrote a book on coping with grief called *Are You With Me?* following her husband's death, faces charges of aggravated murder and attempted murder. During a hearing in Utah's 3rd District Court, Judge Richard Mrazik outlined his reasons for rejecting Richins' bond request. “There simply are not reasonably available means of mitigating her risk to the community and to herself or the strong incentive for her to flee the jurisdiction of the court,” Mrazik said. He emphasized the severity of the charges and her diminished ties to the community as critical factors in his decision. Prosecutors accuse Richins of spiking a cocktail she made for her husband, Eric Richins, with a lethal dose of fentanyl. They also claim she attempted to kill him previously, on February 14, 2022, by giving him a drugged sandwich. Eric Richins, a father of three, died at their home near Park City, a small mountain town known for its scenic beauty. Richins was arrested in 2023, just a year after her husband's death, and gained further attention for her public appearances discussing her family's grief. Her book, marketed to help children deal with the loss of a loved one, has become a focal point in media coverage of the case. The defense team, led by attorney Kathy Nester, argued that the case against Richins is weakening. “With two charges dismissed and four others severed, the defense stands more confident. The case against our client is rapidly narrowing, exposing deeper weaknesses with each step,” Nester said. Judge Mrazik dismissed two counts of distributing a controlled substance and agreed to separate four real estate-related fraud charges from the upcoming murder trial. However, he denied a motion from the defense to try the murder and attempted murder charges separately. The judge also refused a motion to increase the jury size from the standard eight to twelve members. Despite acknowledging that Utah's law “may be on the wrong side of history,” Mrazik said he is bound by his oath to uphold it. The trial, set to begin in April 2025, will cover multiple charges, including aggravated murder, attempted murder, two counts of filing fraudulent insurance claims, and one count of forgery. To ensure a fair jury pool, both the prosecution and defense agreed to select jurors from a broader geographic area, spanning Salt Lake and Summit Counties. Richins' defense team emphasized her connections to the area and disputed the notion that she poses a flight risk. However, Judge Mrazik pointed to several concerns, including her loss of business and strained relationship with her children, which he said could increase her motivation to flee. "Structurally, she just doesn't have the same connections to the community that she had then," the judge concluded. Richins remains in custody, awaiting her day in court, as both sides prepare for what promises to be a closely watched trial. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Kouri Richins, a Utah children's book author accused of fatally poisoning her husband with fentanyl in 2022, will remain behind bars after a judge denied her bail request. Richins, who wrote a book on coping with grief called *Are You With Me?* following her husband's death, faces charges of aggravated murder and attempted murder. During a hearing in Utah's 3rd District Court, Judge Richard Mrazik outlined his reasons for rejecting Richins' bond request. “There simply are not reasonably available means of mitigating her risk to the community and to herself or the strong incentive for her to flee the jurisdiction of the court,” Mrazik said. He emphasized the severity of the charges and her diminished ties to the community as critical factors in his decision. Prosecutors accuse Richins of spiking a cocktail she made for her husband, Eric Richins, with a lethal dose of fentanyl. They also claim she attempted to kill him previously, on February 14, 2022, by giving him a drugged sandwich. Eric Richins, a father of three, died at their home near Park City, a small mountain town known for its scenic beauty. Richins was arrested in 2023, just a year after her husband's death, and gained further attention for her public appearances discussing her family's grief. Her book, marketed to help children deal with the loss of a loved one, has become a focal point in media coverage of the case. The defense team, led by attorney Kathy Nester, argued that the case against Richins is weakening. “With two charges dismissed and four others severed, the defense stands more confident. The case against our client is rapidly narrowing, exposing deeper weaknesses with each step,” Nester said. Judge Mrazik dismissed two counts of distributing a controlled substance and agreed to separate four real estate-related fraud charges from the upcoming murder trial. However, he denied a motion from the defense to try the murder and attempted murder charges separately. The judge also refused a motion to increase the jury size from the standard eight to twelve members. Despite acknowledging that Utah's law “may be on the wrong side of history,” Mrazik said he is bound by his oath to uphold it. The trial, set to begin in April 2025, will cover multiple charges, including aggravated murder, attempted murder, two counts of filing fraudulent insurance claims, and one count of forgery. To ensure a fair jury pool, both the prosecution and defense agreed to select jurors from a broader geographic area, spanning Salt Lake and Summit Counties. Richins' defense team emphasized her connections to the area and disputed the notion that she poses a flight risk. However, Judge Mrazik pointed to several concerns, including her loss of business and strained relationship with her children, which he said could increase her motivation to flee. "Structurally, she just doesn't have the same connections to the community that she had then," the judge concluded. Richins remains in custody, awaiting her day in court, as both sides prepare for what promises to be a closely watched trial. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
