Speaker 1: Mega mansions and makes all kinds of money. She's got
2:24
Speaker 1: a husband who's not cheating, working, supporting the family, beautiful children,

Speaker 1: it from the horse's mouth. Take a Listen to Corey
2:42
Speaker 1: Richins describing why she wrote a kid's book. Listen to
2:46
Speaker 1: Crime Online. I'm new to all of this.
2:48
Speaker 2: Corey Richins appeared on Good Things Utah, a lifestyle TV program,
2:52
Speaker 2: to talk about her book on grief. She says she's
2:55
Speaker 2: done lots of research to help not only herself but
2:57
Speaker 2: her children cope with the loss of Eric Richards, husband
3:00
Speaker 2: and father. Richard says, what has helped her family are
3:03
Speaker 2: the three seeds.
3:05
Speaker 3: The three seeds, you know, connection, continuity.
3:08
Speaker 1: And care.
3:09
Speaker 2: Richin says, it's important to make sure the spirit of
3:12
Speaker 2: your lost loved one is alive in your home by
3:14
Speaker 2: bringing up memories, talking about the person, and doing things
3:18
Speaker 2: that person loved to do.
3:19
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, well, her husband, her dad, husband's memory is
3:24
Speaker 1: going to be coming up a lot in her murder trial.
3:28
Speaker 1: But what about this script that has been found in
3:33
Speaker 1: her cell? And wait a minute before I go any further.
3:38
Speaker 1: Elaine Ardivius is with US senior crime reporter with the messenger.
3:43
Speaker 1: Isn't it true that the woman has just come forward?
3:49
Speaker 1: I believe she worked for the family, a housekeeper who
3:52
Speaker 1: sold the Moscow Mule mom Corey Richins, who allegedly sold
3:57
Speaker 1: her the fentnel she used to poison her husband. Hasn't
4:00
Speaker 1: that just happened?
4:02
Speaker 4: Yes? They do have texts between Corey and the housekeeper
4:10
Speaker 4: where Corey is requesting sentinel or she's requesting, you know,
4:16
Speaker 4: the heavy drugs more of And so that has come
4:21
Speaker 4: out that the housekeeper basically was dropping off drugs at
4:27
Speaker 4: various locations allegedly for Corey.
4:30
Speaker 1: That housekeeper's future testimony does not jive with the story
4:36
Speaker 1: that this grief stricken mom is writing a grief book
4:39
Speaker 1: to help her children to keep the husband's memory alive.
4:43
Speaker 1: You know what, she can say it better than me.
4:46
Speaker 1: Let's listen to more of Corey Richards from Crime Online.
4:49
Speaker 2: Richings appearing on Good Things You Talk, said, it's important
4:52
Speaker 2: to explain to children that just because a parent, in
4:55
Speaker 2: Richard's case, the father isn't present physically, that doesn't mean
4:59
Speaker 2: they're present, isn't with the children.
5:01
Speaker 3: He's doing these things with us, and he's you know,
5:04
Speaker 3: here for birthdays, and he's here for Christmas.
5:07
Speaker 2: Richand says, now it's just comforting for her children to
5:10
Speaker 2: know they're not living this life alone.
5:12
Speaker 3: Dad is still here, it's just in a different way.
5:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, murdered according to prosecutors. I'm about to jump into
5:20
Speaker 1: the ransacking of Corey Richard's cell and finding the script,
5:24
Speaker 1: but I just want you to hear more of Corey
5:27
Speaker 1: Richards speaking out about how much she wanted to console
5:31
Speaker 1: her graving little children. And just so you know those children,
5:36
Speaker 1: three little boys at the time, Carter nine, Ashton seven,
5:40
Speaker 1: and Weston five. You know it would have really helped
5:44
Speaker 1: them in life if they still had their dad alive. Okay,
5:47
Speaker 1: but no, that's not going to happen. That said more
5:52
Speaker 1: again from the Horse's Mouth. Listen our friends crime alone.
5:56
Speaker 2: Richan says it's the family traditions that are hard for children,
6:00
Speaker 2: such as the parent typically with the child on the
6:03
Speaker 2: first day of school, helping the child cope with what
6:05
Speaker 2: they're facing. She said in her appearance on Good Things
6:08
Speaker 2: You Taught that acknowledging those types of things not only
6:12
Speaker 2: gives her peace, but the children as well.
6:14
Speaker 3: It's been a lot of peace for my kids to,
6:17
Speaker 3: you know, to really remember that in the back of
6:19
Speaker 3: their head that they're never alone.
6:21
Speaker 1: My rear end. Doctor Bethany Marshall joining me renown psycho
6:24
Speaker 1: analyst joining us out on la at doctor Bethany Marshall
6:28
Speaker 1: dot com. Never alone. According to police, she's the reason
6:34
Speaker 1: that they are alone.
6:35
Speaker 5: You know, Nancy Sociopaths like her, They do evil things
6:39
Speaker 5: and they try to undo them. They do and they
6:41
Speaker 5: undo so she kills their father and then she tries
6:44
Speaker 5: to undo it by saying, oh, it's okay, He's always
6:48
Speaker 5: with you. Also, this woman tries to monetize every thing,
6:54
Speaker 5: you know, She's always trying to make a buck, always
6:56
Speaker 5: trying to get more money. I think that's one of
6:58
Speaker 5: the motivations for killing her husband and get it out
7:00
Speaker 5: of the way so she can make more money. I
7:02
Speaker 5: think this children's book is just another way to monetize
7:05
Speaker 5: his death.
7:06
Speaker 1: And you know what, I want to pick up what
7:07
Speaker 1: doctor Bethany Marshall just said about the money. Elaine o
7:12
Speaker 1: Avis is with a senior investigative crime report with the
7:16
Speaker 1: messenger Elene. I'm about to jump into the manuscript, as
7:20
Speaker 1: they are euphemistically calling it seized from her jail cell.
7:25
Speaker 1: But there is so much money motive. They had a
7:31
Speaker 1: pre nup, but she didn't like the pre nup. He
7:33
Speaker 1: had a very very successful business that he built up
7:36
Speaker 1: from scratch. Then there was the issue of flipping this
7:39
Speaker 1: mega mansion. She wanted to buy this mega mansion and
7:42
Speaker 1: then flip it. He opposed it, and then he dies
7:48
Speaker 1: and within seven days or so, she flips the mansion
7:53
Speaker 1: and then throws a big party, a boozed up party
7:57
Speaker 1: to celebrate the flip with her husband cold in the grave.
8:00
Speaker 4: That's right, she repeatedly is acquiring money. In fact, when
8:09
Speaker 4: her husband died, the sister of the husband went to
8:14
Speaker 4: the house and Corey was already taking things out of
8:19
Speaker 4: the safe. There are things missing that cannot be accounted
8:23
Speaker 4: for that's considered valuable and assets, so over and over
8:29
Speaker 4: there is a pattern of her trying to get more money.
8:33
Speaker 1: You know. Donna Kelly is joining me, former Utah Senior
8:38
Speaker 1: Deputy District Attorney, lawyer for Crime Victims Legal Clinic. She
8:44
Speaker 1: also helped form the Utah County Sex Crimes Task Force.
8:49
Speaker 1: Donna Kelly, I know that after my fiancee was murdered
8:53
Speaker 1: shortly before our wedding, he was on baseball scholarship and
8:58
Speaker 1: I wanted one thing. I wanted his baseball that he
9:03
Speaker 1: and I would practice throw pitch back and forth. And
9:08
Speaker 1: I still have it. I say it every morning. I'm
9:11
Speaker 1: just curious about your reaction to immediately, immediately after her
9:18
Speaker 1: husband's death, she is in the safe getting out whatever
9:24
Speaker 1: assets she can find.
9:25
Speaker 6: It's very disturbing, Nancy. It is very disturbing, and she
9:29
Speaker 6: had an ongoing dispute and her husband had an inkling
9:34
Speaker 6: that this was happening and made it changes in his
9:37
Speaker 6: will to give things to his family as opposed to
9:44
Speaker 6: Corey Richens.
9:49
Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Where are a Moscow Mule Mom?
9:58
Speaker 1: Corey Richard's children now hey boys left basically orphaned, Dad dead,
10:03
Speaker 1: mom convicted of murder. They were all under the age
10:07
Speaker 1: of ten at the time Eric was murdered. He was
10:11
Speaker 1: an incredible, loving father. According to all of our sources.
10:16
Speaker 1: He was a coach and or an assistant coach on
10:19
Speaker 1: every single one of his son's sports teams. So good
10:24
Speaker 1: to his children? Can they remember him? Quote? They idolized
10:30
Speaker 1: their dad and he idolized them as well. That's from family.
10:35
Speaker 1: In this book written by Moscow Mule Mom Corey Richins,
10:38
Speaker 1: called Are You with Me? She follows the story of
10:42
Speaker 1: a little child who loses their dad but is always
10:48
Speaker 1: reminded his presence exists all around them, like an angel
10:53
Speaker 1: watching over them. You know, it's interesting to me that
10:57
Speaker 1: Corey Richins dedicated that book to my amazing husband and
11:02
Speaker 1: a wonderful father. Wow. Okay, this is right after she
11:08
Speaker 1: murders them. She claims she writes the book with her sons,
11:12
Speaker 1: but during the trial text show Are You with Me?
11:17
Speaker 1: Was actually written by a ghost writer. Of course, the
11:21
Speaker 1: book is no longer available and it's been struck from Amazon,
11:26
Speaker 1: what more do we learn it? Trial prosecutors want an
11:29
Speaker 1: Orange notebook, saying it bears directly on Corey Richins, the
11:34
Speaker 1: Moscow Mule Mom's actions regarding Eric richand her husband's death.
11:41
Speaker 1: They say the first five pages of the notebook contained
11:44
Speaker 1: the defendant's handwritten journal detailing the events of March three
11:49
Speaker 1: through four, twenty twenty two, the night Eric Richins died.
11:53
Speaker 1: Prosecutors say Riches admitted she wrote the Orange notebook, that
11:57
Speaker 1: it is her handwriting and Canine's information that only she
12:03
Speaker 1: would know. But I want to get to what was
12:07
Speaker 1: found in Corey Richard's cell. Listen to our cut five
12:14
Speaker 1: Dave Mack.
12:15
Speaker 2: The Walk the Dog Letter is a six page handwritten
12:18
Speaker 2: letter that Corey Richins wrote for her mother. Prosecutors claimed
12:21
Speaker 2: the letter instructs her mother and brother to give false
12:23
Speaker 2: testimony in the case. According to emotion filed in court.
12:27
Speaker 2: In the letter, Richards wrote, quote this comes down to jealousy,
12:30
Speaker 2: money and Eric's partying that they don't want to acknowledge
12:33
Speaker 2: and sadly an accidental overdose unquote. The prosecutors have asked
12:38
Speaker 2: the judge to restrict Richards from further engaging in witness
12:41
Speaker 2: tampering by restricting her from contacting her mother and brother.
12:45
Speaker 2: Defense attorney Skyla Zarro filed a brief accusing the prosecutors
12:49
Speaker 2: of breaching a gag order in the case when they
12:51
Speaker 2: filed the letter titled Walk the Dog as part of
12:54
Speaker 2: their motion.
12:55
Speaker 1: Okay, Elaine Odovias, tell me everything about Yeah, the so
13:00
Speaker 1: called walk the Dog letter. The walk the.
13:04
Speaker 4: Dog letter, first of all, is named that because at
13:08
Speaker 4: the top of the letter, in huge type all caps,
13:13
Speaker 4: she wrote walk the Dog. I think you can sort
13:17
Speaker 4: of take from that that she was giving instructions to
13:21
Speaker 4: whoever this letter was written for the state alleges that
13:25
Speaker 4: she was writing it to her mom with instructions of
13:30
Speaker 4: what to say. Hence the state is alleging witness tampering.
13:35
Speaker 4: But this letter really sort of talks about, you know,
13:41
Speaker 4: it's almost like this what if you know, and talking
13:44
Speaker 4: about what the drugs were for and how this accidentally happened.
13:49
Speaker 4: But in a conversation that she had with her brother,
13:54
Speaker 4: she's alleging that it's part of a fiction mystery novel. Okay,
13:57
Speaker 4: what pet She says that it's part of us fiction
14:01
Speaker 4: mystery novel.
14:02
Speaker 1: I'm so happy, Elaine, out of Eus, you just made
14:06
Speaker 1: me a very happy former prosecutor. So they are addressing
14:12
Speaker 1: the walk the Dog six page letter that was found
14:16
Speaker 1: in her jail cell. And by the way, apparently when
14:18
Speaker 1: they came to and they found that she went into
14:20
Speaker 1: some kind of a seizure. Never had a seizure before
14:23
Speaker 1: in her life, we've been told, But when they found
14:26
Speaker 1: that six page letter in her jail cell, she apparently
14:30
Speaker 1: suffered a seizure. Rich AND's the Moscow Meile mom claims
14:34
Speaker 1: the letter is chrudging her mom to say her husband
14:37
Speaker 1: odeed on drugs from Mexico, claims it is for a
14:41
Speaker 1: book she planned to write. How is that part of
14:46
Speaker 1: a book she planned to write? Elaine out of Eus.
14:50
Speaker 1: What does that have to do with the book? What's
14:52
Speaker 1: the plot of the book?
14:53
Speaker 4: Well, here's what's interesting. So the they released the transcript
14:59
Speaker 4: that she had between her and her brother, and in
15:03
Speaker 4: that conversation that she had with her brother, she explains
15:07
Speaker 4: that this she's written a sixty five page novel and
15:13
Speaker 4: it's all about, you know, from the detention hearing and
15:18
Speaker 4: what happens. And then she gets out of jail and
15:22
Speaker 4: she and her father go to Mexico where they're dealing
15:25
Speaker 4: with a ranch and a cartel. She's saying this that
15:29
Speaker 4: this is part of a sixty five page novel, but
15:32
Speaker 4: that the jail deputies they pulled out this six page letter.
15:39
Speaker 4: She's claiming that this letter is actually part of a
15:43
Speaker 4: bigger novel and that they're picking and choosing, and on
15:48
Speaker 4: top of it all, she also claims that she wrote
15:51
Speaker 4: a letter on top of it, saying that this is
15:55
Speaker 4: part of you know that events have been changed, but
15:59
Speaker 4: based on untrue, you know, situations that have happened to her.
16:04
Speaker 4: And what kills me is that it was hidden inside
16:09
Speaker 4: an Elsat book.
16:11
Speaker 1: Law school admissions test manual. Now, the damning letter appears
16:16
Speaker 1: to instruct someone to tell Corey Richins's brother Ronnie, to
16:22
Speaker 1: say he had been talking to the dead husband about
16:26
Speaker 1: his ships to Mexico, and that the dead husband revealed
16:30
Speaker 1: he had been given pain pills and fentanyls from workers
16:34
Speaker 1: on the ranch. Okay, let's hear some more. Take a
16:40
Speaker 1: listen to investigative reporting team from crimeonline dot Com.
16:44
Speaker 2: KYU TV says in the Walk of the Dog letter,
16:47
Speaker 2: Corey Richins allegedly wants her brother to say Eric Richins
16:50
Speaker 2: told him he got pain pills in fentanyl from Mexico
16:53
Speaker 2: through workers at a ranch. She allegedly points out how
16:57
Speaker 2: Ronnie's testimony could make the connection of Eric and drugs.
17:00
Speaker 2: In the letter, Corey Richins allegedly says the testimony quote
17:04
Speaker 2: can be short and to the point, but has to
17:07
Speaker 2: be done unquote. Richins also tells her mother to pass
17:11
Speaker 2: information to her brother in person, telling her mother her
17:14
Speaker 2: home and phone could be bugged, so.
17:16
Speaker 1: Pass the information verbally and in person because the home
17:19
Speaker 1: and phone could be bugged. Let's get to the crux
17:25
Speaker 1: of this entire scenario, and that is the gruesome death,
17:29
Speaker 1: the horrible death of a very loving thirty nine year
17:33
Speaker 1: old dad who was working like a dog to support
17:38
Speaker 1: Corey Richins and their mega mansion and their three little
17:43
Speaker 1: boys as young as age five. This is what happened.
17:49
Speaker 1: Take a listen to our friends at crime Online.
17:51
Speaker 2: According to court documents, Corey Richins called police to their
17:54
Speaker 2: Utah home where her husband, Eric Richins, was found dead
17:57
Speaker 2: in the early morning hours of March fourth, twenty two.
18:00
Speaker 7: Twenty two.
18:00
Speaker 2: Investigators said Corey had given Eric a drink a Moscow
18:03
Speaker 2: mule before he went to bed. She then spent part
18:06
Speaker 2: of the night with one of her three children, who
18:08
Speaker 2: had a nightmare. According to court documents, in her written
18:11
Speaker 2: statement the night of his death, she said when she
18:14
Speaker 2: returned to their bedroom at approximately three am, he was
18:17
Speaker 2: cold to the touch and she called nine one one.
18:20
Speaker 2: It was later determined that Eric had five times the
18:22
Speaker 2: lethal dose of fentonyl in his system, which officials said
18:26
Speaker 2: have been ingested orally.
18:27
Speaker 1: Joining me right now is the world's premier authority on
18:32
Speaker 1: fentanyl and fentanyl ingestion and fentanyl OD and also how
18:39
Speaker 1: to revive someone from a fentanyl overdose, Doctor William Maroney,
18:45
Speaker 1: the author of American Narcan, Malaxone and Heroin Fentanyl Associated Immortality.
18:53
Speaker 1: This guy, this doctor, is using his medical degree to
18:59
Speaker 1: help pe with fentanyl addiction, to the point he has
19:03
Speaker 1: invested his own money and all his years of education
19:07
Speaker 1: and experience to create a traveling mobile unit to help
19:14
Speaker 1: those addicted to fentanyl. Doctor William Maroney, this whole story
19:20
Speaker 1: stinks to high heaven. But first of all, explain what
19:25
Speaker 1: happens when you get a fentanyl OD. What happens? What
19:30
Speaker 1: do you experience?
19:31
Speaker 8: Well, however, you ingest it, if you swallow it, if
19:34
Speaker 8: you snort it, if you inject it, whatever happens, it
19:37
Speaker 8: goes to your brain, goes in your blood, goes to
19:41
Speaker 8: your brain, and it goes to a place in your
19:43
Speaker 8: brain that controls your breathing, and slowly you breathe shallow, infrequent,
19:54
Speaker 8: less and less, and you suffocate. You go through a sphyxia.
20:01
Speaker 1: You lose all.
20:02
Speaker 8: Your oxygen and your heart stops pumping it and you
20:06
Speaker 8: stop breathing, and it's got to be one of the
20:09
Speaker 8: scariest things in the world. It's like being locked in
20:15
Speaker 8: a tomb darkness. You can't get out, and your body
20:20
Speaker 8: doesn't work, and your muscles don't work, and you get
20:22
Speaker 8: weaker and weaker, and eventually, if you can be reached
20:29
Speaker 8: with narkan before your final breath, narc can can get
20:36
Speaker 8: in your system and push the fentanel off your brain,
20:40
Speaker 8: kind of like pulling fuzzies off your sweater, and you
20:46
Speaker 8: start breathing again. But if you don't have the nark can,
20:49
Speaker 8: you die and you stop breathing in two to three minutes,
20:54
Speaker 8: and you have six minutes before there's irreversible damage in
20:59
Speaker 8: your brain. We get a lot of people at the
21:02
Speaker 8: hospital that have been fentanyl overdoses and the families keep
21:05
Speaker 8: them around for a couple of days, they keep them
21:07
Speaker 8: on ventilators, hoping they're coming back, but the brain dead.
21:11
Speaker 8: So you really need that intervention early. You need all
21:16
Speaker 8: pain and addiction patients in America should have narc cand
21:20
Speaker 8: in their home. And you know what the Hona Scotch
21:22
Speaker 8: truth is, everybody with small children should have nark hand
21:27
Speaker 8: in their home for accidents because this ventanyl stuff is everywhere.
21:32
Speaker 8: It's on dollar bills, it's in other drugs. It could
21:37
Speaker 8: be coming out of grocery stores or things that you
21:40
Speaker 8: touch at the gas station. We're in a fentanyl crisis.
21:46
Speaker 8: This is not an opioid crisis. Sentanyl is so far
21:49
Speaker 8: out of control it's equivalent to a weapon of mass destruction.
21:54
Speaker 1: Doctor Maroney to say, I had a fentyl overdose. Have
22:00
Speaker 1: you ever been asleep and you're trying to wake up
22:03
Speaker 1: but you can't wake up? Or what they like being
22:08
Speaker 1: inside a coffin and little by little you know you're
22:11
Speaker 1: dying and you run out of air and talk to
22:17
Speaker 1: me in regular people talk, Dr Mormoney, Me, what would
22:20
Speaker 1: hey Richan's experience.
22:24
Speaker 8: All of the people I know that have come to
22:26
Speaker 8: me that have overdosed on sentinel, but they got the
22:28
Speaker 8: NARKK and they came back and now they're in treatment
22:30
Speaker 8: with medication assistant treatment. They all say there's a rush
22:34
Speaker 8: of heat in the body as the fencanel goes through
22:38
Speaker 8: the bloodstream, and then slowly you lose all consciousness what
22:45
Speaker 8: you described with sleep paralysis, where you're kind of in
22:48
Speaker 8: bed and you can think, but you can't move. Sometimes
22:52
Speaker 8: you can't talk. Not being able to breathe has got
22:59
Speaker 8: to be the scariest thing in the world. I would
23:01
Speaker 8: rather be cut in half, it smashed through the car
23:04
Speaker 8: and shot one hundred times and lid on fire than
23:06
Speaker 8: not being able to breathe. If you can't breathe, nothing
23:10
Speaker 8: else matters. And the idea that somebody would put sentinel.
23:15
Speaker 8: The toxic dose of fentanyl is two milligrams. That's equivalent
23:23
Speaker 8: to twelve to fourteen granules out of a salt shaker
23:30
Speaker 8: at the breakfast diner. If you shake salt on the
23:34
Speaker 8: table and you can get ten or twelve or fourteen granules,
23:39
Speaker 8: that's enough fentinyl to kill you, And a full teaspoon
23:43
Speaker 8: is enough to kill everybody in the room.
23:45
Speaker 1: Well, I gotta tell you, doctor, Moroniey. I saw report swear.
23:50
Speaker 1: I believe it was a lady cop was on a
23:52
Speaker 1: crime saying and she nearly died because the report was
23:57
Speaker 1: she touched sentinel wittingly. And I thought, wow, that doesn't
24:02
Speaker 1: ring true to me, because I've in court handles so
24:06
Speaker 1: many drugs with my bare hands and nothing ever happened.
24:10
Speaker 1: But it actually is true, isn't it.
24:13
Speaker 8: It is? And it is the amount of fentanyl that
24:16
Speaker 8: touches the skin and gets absorbed. It's happened in the
24:20
Speaker 8: deputies in the surrounding counties around us. All the deputies
24:24
Speaker 8: try to carry two in our hands. One is for
24:28
Speaker 8: patients or you know, when they're chasing people down or
24:31
Speaker 8: drug overdoses, and one is for their partners. We have
24:36
Speaker 8: to have in our hands and even gloves. Sometimes you
24:40
Speaker 8: got to be careful because those masks are a joke
24:43
Speaker 8: with ventanyl. They don't stop fenteryl, but people touching crime scenes,
24:49
Speaker 8: turning envelopes over.
24:51
Speaker 1: So that is what is being discussed here, that Eric
24:55
Speaker 1: Rich is the data of three odd on fentanyl. Now,
25:00
Speaker 1: what about a Moscow mule? Justin Boordman, just in time,
25:04
Speaker 1: former detective in this jurisdiction, Utah, West Valley CITYPD. Now
25:09
Speaker 1: Boardman's Training and consulting. Justin Boardman, what's a Moscow mule?
25:14
Speaker 7: Well, moscow mule is one of my favorite beverages. But
25:17
Speaker 7: it would be vodka and ginger beer with a twist
25:23
Speaker 7: of wad.
25:23
Speaker 1: Now, ginger beer we all had at Universal in Harry
25:27
Speaker 1: potter Land. It's very tangy. I love it. It's not
25:33
Speaker 1: actually beer, it's or is it beer? Because children can
25:37
Speaker 1: get it? Maybe it's more ginger than anything else in
25:41
Speaker 1: Ginger has a very strong taste, which would conceal fend
25:48
Speaker 1: I mean yes, no, doctor Moroney, Yes no. Does fennyl
25:52
Speaker 1: taste like anything?
25:53
Speaker 8: Ben fenl is bitter. You need to have some strong, pungent,
25:57
Speaker 8: sour sweet flavoring like beer.
26:00
Speaker 1: Okay, So, Justin Boardman, the working theory, I mean, you're
26:05
Speaker 1: the detective, this is your jurisdiction. The theory is that
26:09
Speaker 1: she put fentanel a huge od amount into the ginger beer.
26:15
Speaker 9: Yes, no, yes, And that's the theory that it was
26:17
Speaker 9: taken orally and was hidden in the moscow mule that
26:22
Speaker 9: he had that evening and passed from.
26:26
Speaker 1: We're never going to know if she handed him that
26:30
Speaker 1: glass or if he just drank it on his own.
26:33
Speaker 1: But that's when you fall back on circumstantial evidence.
26:38
Speaker 2: Take a listen to this evidence gathered revealed. Corey claims
26:42
Speaker 2: she didn't have access to her phone that night. She
26:45
Speaker 2: said it was left on the charger by her bed
26:47
Speaker 2: while she was in another room tending a sick child. However,
26:50
Speaker 2: a data dumb shows Richin's phone was in use during
26:53
Speaker 2: the time her husband was dying and that sent messages
26:56
Speaker 2: had been deleted. Additional evidence showed Richins was in kind
27:00
Speaker 2: act with a drug dealer in Ogden leading up to
27:02
Speaker 2: her husband's death. The legal document state she received both
27:05
Speaker 2: hydrocodone pills and fentanyl from the dealer. The claim was
27:09
Speaker 2: that the drugs were intended for a client experiencing back pain,
27:13
Speaker 2: even specifically asking for quote the Michael Jackson stuff unquote
27:18
Speaker 2: meaning fentanyl. Information from the autopsy report determined Eric Richards
27:22
Speaker 2: died from an overdose of fentanyl five times the lethal dosing.
27:32
Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace. Following Corey Richards's arrests, all
27:40
Speaker 1: three little boys were given to Eric's family. Now, what
27:47
Speaker 1: we learned is that Moscow Mule Mom Corey Richins at
27:51
Speaker 1: her murdered husband, Eric, had been having a lot of
27:54
Speaker 1: relationship problems, and Eric without his wife's nun and because
28:01
Speaker 1: his wife, Corey Richins, was spending hundreds of thousands of
28:05
Speaker 1: dollars erradically in one failed real estate deal after the next,
28:10
Speaker 1: he put the money, all the money in a secret
28:13
Speaker 1: trust and appointed his sister, Katie Richins Benson as trustee.
28:19
Speaker 1: At the time of Eric's murder, there were at least
28:24
Speaker 1: six life insurance policies on him, totaling three million dollars.
28:31
Speaker 1: Approximately three million dollars. What a shame it would have
28:37
Speaker 1: been if all that money ends up going to Corey Richins.
28:42
Speaker 1: I recall Corey Richins made a demand to the court
28:45
Speaker 1: that she be released ahead of trial. That was denied,
28:48
Speaker 1: and at that time a juvenile court awarded custody of
28:52
Speaker 1: all three boys to Eric's family. Now we know all
28:57
Speaker 1: three sons are living with a member of Eric's family.
29:03
Speaker 1: They are only permitted to talk to their mother, Corey Richins,
29:06
Speaker 1: twice a week through video calls. The boys are in
29:11
Speaker 1: a loving home with a lot of love surrounding them.
29:16
Speaker 1: How will they ever get past facts like this? Back
29:21
Speaker 1: to that orange notebook? Prosecutors say The first five pages
29:24
Speaker 1: contain details about the timeline, Moscow, Mule mom's movements, and
29:30
Speaker 1: what Eric Richins consumed before he died, among other critical information.
29:38
Speaker 1: These details, when compared to other evidence in the case,
29:42
Speaker 1: they say, make it more probable Corey Richins poisoned Eric
29:47
Speaker 1: Richins with fentanel. Prosecutors say, quote nobody forced or coerced
29:53
Speaker 1: the defendant to write the Orange notebook. The defendant holds
29:57
Speaker 1: a master's degree. She journaled, risks king the likelihood detectives
30:01
Speaker 1: would find it and recognize it for what it is.
30:04
Speaker 1: Elaine on a vis is joining US senior investigative crime
30:08
Speaker 1: reporter with the messenger, Elaine again, thank you for being
30:11
Speaker 1: with us. You know it's the cover up is deadly
30:17
Speaker 1: in this case. Deleting text messages. You know what, My
30:22
Speaker 1: phone can barely work. I've got so many emails and
30:25
Speaker 1: text messages on it. I never think to delete anything.
30:28
Speaker 1: I mean, there are messages on there for twenty fifteen
30:30
Speaker 1: and sixteen. Yes, So the fact that you suddenly have
30:36
Speaker 1: the urge to delete a bunch of text and emails,
30:39
Speaker 1: which of course anybody can get from the cloud. But
30:43
Speaker 1: that said, explain to me, Elaine out of vis She
30:47
Speaker 1: said her phone was in a different room that that night,
30:51
Speaker 1: of all night she went and slept with her boys
30:54
Speaker 1: while her husband die killed over in the other room.
30:57
Speaker 1: But yet when authority search, they found out the phone
31:01
Speaker 1: was actually in use the entire time, and that those
31:05
Speaker 1: particular texts had been deleted. Do I have that right?
31:09
Speaker 1: Could you explain that plase a line?
31:11
Speaker 4: Yes, I think you know a lot of times, especially
31:14
Speaker 4: you know with all the shows we see in all
31:16
Speaker 4: these previous cases we see you know, before you know,
31:20
Speaker 4: they tried to do they tried to take care of everything.
31:24
Speaker 4: You know, they they have googled, you know, how do
31:28
Speaker 4: I clean up this or whatever, and somehow they always
31:33
Speaker 4: forget about the phone. The phone has the ability to
31:38
Speaker 4: be tracked because everyone has like find my phone, or
31:42
Speaker 4: you know, the cell towers. They can see movement. They
31:46
Speaker 4: can you know, when when investigators, they have forensic investigators,
31:50
Speaker 4: when they subpoena your phone and they start going through it,
31:54
Speaker 4: they can see when it turned.
31:55
Speaker 6: On, when it moved.
31:57
Speaker 4: All of these things. We know that the phone was
32:00
Speaker 4: in use, which puts a crack in her story, a
32:03
Speaker 4: big crack.
32:04
Speaker 1: Because you got your phone, you can call nine one
32:06
Speaker 1: one immediately, And does that mean she wasn't really even
32:10
Speaker 1: in the children's room when she's right there watching the
32:12
Speaker 1: husband die. Dona Kelly joining me, former Utah Senior Deputy
32:16
Speaker 1: District Attorney. This jurisdiction, Dona Kelly deleting the text and
32:24
Speaker 1: the emails, the phone movements. It reminds me significantly the
32:30
Speaker 1: Alex Murdock double murder prosecution, where he was charging the
32:33
Speaker 1: murder of his wife Maggie and son Paul. The forensic
32:37
Speaker 1: evidence showed that he was at the dog kennels where
32:41
Speaker 1: his wife and son were murdered riddled with bullets because
32:46
Speaker 1: of his cell phone and because of another cell phone
32:49
Speaker 1: video it placed him there. The phone then followed him
32:54
Speaker 1: to his vehicle. The phone traveled with him and his wife,
32:58
Speaker 1: Maggie's phone, then her phone is thrown out of the car,
33:02
Speaker 1: linked with the navigation system in his vehicle. I believe
33:06
Speaker 1: it was a suburban. It shows every move he made
33:11
Speaker 1: from letting the windows up and down, to the speed,
33:14
Speaker 1: to the ignition turn you name it. Technology is a
33:19
Speaker 1: very powerful tool and the prosecutor's arsenal Donna.
33:24
Speaker 6: Kelly absolutely and the reason that jury's loved this kind
33:28
Speaker 6: of evidence is it's very objective, it doesn't have a bias,
33:32
Speaker 6: it doesn't have an agenda, it's just there. And so
33:36
Speaker 6: that evidence is very powerful to a jury. And it
33:41
Speaker 6: also shows the consciousness of guilt that the person has.
33:46
Speaker 6: For example, in deleting messages, you know immediately that sort
33:51
Speaker 6: of thing. So it can show you know, the movement
33:54
Speaker 6: and the messages that went in and out, but it
33:56
Speaker 6: can also show consciousness of your own guilt.
34:00
Speaker 1: M hmm, you're right. So to stay well, then began
34:04
Speaker 1: looking at other circumstantial evidence contemporaneous around the time of
34:10
Speaker 1: the death. Take a listen to this.
34:12
Speaker 2: After Eric Richards's death, Corey Rigins hired a locksmith to
34:16
Speaker 2: open Eric's safe. Between one hundred and twenty five thousand
34:19
Speaker 2: and one hundred and sixty five thousand dollars was reportedly inside.
34:22
Speaker 2: When Eric Richard's sister told her sister in law she
34:25
Speaker 2: didn't have the rights to those funds, Corey Rigins punched her.
34:29
Speaker 2: Eric Richins had also opened a living trust and placed
34:33
Speaker 2: the trust as his life insurance beneficiary instead of Corey.
34:37
Speaker 2: We now know Corey had purchased at least four life
34:40
Speaker 2: insurance policies on Eric Richins with death benefits of over
34:44
Speaker 2: a million dollars.
34:45
Speaker 1: Okay, Doctor Bethany Marshall, renown psycho Allen's joining us out
34:49
Speaker 1: of Beverly Hills. I tell you one thing. If my
34:52
Speaker 1: husband David Lynch goes out and takes four life insurance
34:55
Speaker 1: policies out on me, uh uh in oh, We're splitting
35:01
Speaker 1: up at that moment, and I'm taking the twins period.
35:05
Speaker 1: You can have everything else except those twins for life
35:10
Speaker 1: insurance policies.
35:11
Speaker 5: What you know, Nancy? When I listen to this story,
35:14
Speaker 5: I so I think of Corey Richards as suffering what
35:18
Speaker 5: I affectionately term the Casey Anthony syndrome. Every lie, every maneuver,
35:25
Speaker 5: every motive is so flagrantly transparent, and from a mental
35:32
Speaker 5: health perspective, she's probably suffering from what we call cluster B.
35:36
Speaker 5: Cluster B is when you have sociopathy.
35:38
Speaker 1: Are you saying cluster cluster cluster.
35:41
Speaker 5: Like a cluster bomb? Okay, So when you have sociopathy,
35:46
Speaker 5: borderline personality disorder and potentially bipolar, I don't even.
35:51
Speaker 1: Know what you're saying. Blah blah blah blah blah. She's gravy,
35:56
Speaker 1: she wants money. What are you talking about? Cluster.
35:59
Speaker 5: What okay? So sociopathy, they lie, they can, they manipulate,
36:04
Speaker 5: they have parasitic lifestyle. So there you have the money motive,
36:08
Speaker 5: borderline personality disorder. There's clinging and rejecting behavior. They can
36:12
Speaker 5: plot and plan forever, bi polar where they get in
36:17
Speaker 5: such a certain type of mood where they feel no
36:19
Speaker 5: guilt or consciousness or remorse. So she has all these
36:24
Speaker 5: things swirling around, and that's why this story just gets
36:28
Speaker 5: crazier and crazier. And like Casey Anthony, everyone from the
36:32
Speaker 5: outside looking in can say that's a lie. That's a lie,
36:36
Speaker 5: that's a lie, that's a lie. How can she not
36:39
Speaker 5: know that we know she's lying? And that's what happens
36:42
Speaker 5: with these kinds of personalities. They don't see in themselves
36:46
Speaker 5: what we see in them. And that's why the family
36:50
Speaker 5: went over to check the safe. That's why they caught her,
36:53
Speaker 5: is that they had been observing this for a long
36:57
Speaker 5: long time.
36:58
Speaker 1: Well, there's more to the money motive. And I can't
37:01
Speaker 1: wait for doctor Moroney to jump in on how many
37:03
Speaker 1: dead body sees autopsied that are dead because of money motive.
37:08
Speaker 1: Listen to this.
37:10
Speaker 2: Investigators say Eric Richins was looking into a divorce. He
37:13
Speaker 2: had recently changed his will and life insurance from his
37:17
Speaker 2: wife to his sister. Two friends told detectives that Eric
37:20
Speaker 2: Richards was worried Corey would kill him for the money
37:23
Speaker 2: and wanted to ensure that his kids were taken care
37:25
Speaker 2: of financially. Even as Corey Richins was promoting her children's
37:29
Speaker 2: book about grief on local television, investigators were looking into
37:33
Speaker 2: the couple's troubled past.
37:35
Speaker 1: I've watched that interview a million times and never once
37:38
Speaker 1: did this woman shit a tear, Doctor William Maroney Renow,
37:43
Speaker 1: medical examiner. The love of money the root of all evil.
37:48
Speaker 1: What do you think about that, Maroni.
37:50
Speaker 8: It's really a good reason. It's at the top of
37:53
Speaker 8: the list. Money is. It's worse than love and infidelity
37:58
Speaker 8: because you can just enjoy it all by yourself. It's sinful,
38:03
Speaker 8: and it's in every culture, and it's in every country,
38:06
Speaker 8: and whether it's male or female, it's always about the money.
38:11
Speaker 8: And what I'm really worried about somebody this reckless. People
38:15
Speaker 8: will reproduce this and what happens. Fentanyl is so dangerous.
38:22
Speaker 8: She could have accidentally killed her children.
38:25
Speaker 1: You're right, the three little boys in the same. Huh oh,
38:28
Speaker 1: what if one of them had taking a sip of
38:29
Speaker 1: that moscow.
38:30
Speaker 8: Mule, even if they would have touched fentanyl on the
38:33
Speaker 8: counter or there was fentanyl dust and something like that.
38:38
Speaker 8: Is just to poison somebody with fentanyl when they're small
38:42
Speaker 8: children in the room. That's insane.
38:45
Speaker 1: Sentanyl dust, remember morone, doctor moroney. We just covered the
38:49
Speaker 1: case of a little one year old boy who died
38:51
Speaker 1: in a daycare from sentinyl in New York dust and
38:55
Speaker 1: other key rulings in the past days. This is not
39:00
Speaker 1: the first time, according to Elli law enforcement, that Corey
39:04
Speaker 1: Richards tried to murder her husband. Listen to in the
39:08
Speaker 1: investigative reporting team at Crime Stories.
39:11
Speaker 2: Valentine's Day twenty twenty two, Eric Richards becomes violently ill
39:16
Speaker 2: after suffering an allergic reaction after having dinner with his
39:19
Speaker 2: wife of nine years, Corey. He breaks out in hives,
39:22
Speaker 2: can't Breathe passes out after using his son's EpiPen and
39:25
Speaker 2: taking Benadreel. When Eric wakes up, he calls his business partner,
39:29
Speaker 2: Cody Wright to let him know what has just happened. Then,
39:33
Speaker 2: without Corey knowing, Eric changes the beneficiary of his will
39:37
Speaker 2: and his power of attorney, replacing his wife, Corey, with
39:41
Speaker 2: his sister. Legal paperwork suggests that Eric believes Corey might
39:46
Speaker 2: kill him for the money, and he wants his children
39:48
Speaker 2: to be financially secure.
39:50
Speaker 1: Kind of reminds me of Calman Laurie Valo. Her husband
39:54
Speaker 1: was afraid that she would kill him, so he changed
39:59
Speaker 1: a li lot of his financial setup away from her,
40:06
Speaker 1: and she killed him anyway, had him killed anyway, not
40:11
Speaker 1: knowing that she was no longer his beneficiary. That said,
40:16
Speaker 1: this reminds me of another incredible case. And you know
40:21
Speaker 1: I couldn't make this up. Do you remember the name
40:24
Speaker 1: Dahlia Dippolito, Reportedly a former escort who marries the victim.
40:33
Speaker 1: She sets up a hit. She sets up a shooting
40:38
Speaker 1: hit to kill him and get money in a town home.
40:42
Speaker 1: But of course she sets it up with an undercover
40:44
Speaker 1: agent and he's got it all on tape, planning to
40:48
Speaker 1: kill her husband. Dahlia Dippolito, So apparently she tried to
40:52
Speaker 1: kill him before in a poisoned Starbucks latte of some sort.
40:58
Speaker 1: Didn't work, so she tries again. According to him, he lives.
41:02
Speaker 1: The undercover agent stops the hit, but they pretend to
41:08
Speaker 1: her this is a sting that they're coming to tell
41:12
Speaker 1: her her husband has been attacked and he's dead. Now,
41:17
Speaker 1: Meryl Streep, I love you, lady, but move over because
41:22
Speaker 1: Dahlia Dippolito may beat you out for your next oscar.
41:26
Speaker 1: Listen to Dahlia Dippolito reacting to niece her husband is dead.
41:31
Speaker 10: I'm Sergeant Ramsey.
41:32
Speaker 1: I'm the one to call you.
41:33
Speaker 5: Thank you for comment.

41:38

42:04
Speaker 10: these defectives.
42:05
Speaker 2: Okay.

42:08
Speaker 10: to hear okay, who want to hurt him? Waitness you

Speaker 10: said he saw a blackmail running from me. I can't
42:14
Speaker 10: let you stand them them. I cannot do this right now, ma'am.
42:17
Speaker 2: I can't.
42:20
Speaker 1: I need you, I need.
42:20
Speaker 10: You to take there to the stations. I can't man,
42:23
Speaker 10: go with these detections. If you want to help your husband, Okay,
42:26
Speaker 10: if you want to help your husband, you need to
42:28
Speaker 10: go to the station with these gentlemen and tell us
42:30
Speaker 10: everything you know about who he knows, who's connected to.
42:33
Speaker 10: Don't worry, We've already taken care of dogs.
42:35
Speaker 8: Go.
42:35
Speaker 10: Don'm in the control for right now. Everything's under control.
42:38
Speaker 1: There's more, but I just listen to that all day.
42:42
Speaker 1: Did you hear that, Donna Kelly? That was Dollia Dipolito
42:46
Speaker 1: when she's told her husband's dead, He's not dead.
42:49
Speaker 8: Uh.
42:50
Speaker 1: Later at the police station, they're questioning her and he
42:52
Speaker 1: walks by. He goes, Hi, you tried to kill me.
42:56
Speaker 1: But in this case, now we're getting this very long
43:00
Speaker 1: letter for obviously, Corey Richard's Moscow Mule Mom is trying
43:05
Speaker 1: to convince her family to lie about her husband traveling
43:09
Speaker 1: to Mexico to get these drugs.
43:11
Speaker 6: Yes, that compounding the actual letter is also the evidence
43:17
Speaker 6: that she's trying to manufacture excuses for writing it. She says,
43:22
Speaker 6: at first it was written for her lawyer's benefits, so
43:26
Speaker 6: it's privileged. Well that's obviously a lie because write in
43:30
Speaker 6: the letter she refers to her lawyer by name, you know,
43:35
Speaker 6: tell my brother to go talk to the name of
43:38
Speaker 6: her lawyer. So obviously it's not written for the lawyer.
43:43
Speaker 6: But also then now she had to concoct a new
43:45
Speaker 6: lie because that one didn't fly. So you have not
43:49
Speaker 6: only the letter with the instructions of how to lie,
43:53
Speaker 6: but you have her excuses for writing it, which compounds
43:59
Speaker 6: again shows her consciousness of her own guilt.
44:02
Speaker 1: While she's having some type of a seizure, guard search
44:06
Speaker 1: hersell find a copy of a bombshell letter instructing her
44:09
Speaker 1: own mother to fuel conspiracy theories that her dead husband
44:14
Speaker 1: had a drug problem and overdosed. He was at work
44:18
Speaker 1: every day, working trying to pay for that mega mansion
44:21
Speaker 1: they were living in. In the letter, she reportedly asked
44:25
Speaker 1: her from the mother to get her brother to concoct
44:28
Speaker 1: a story the husband, a year before his death, secretly
44:33
Speaker 1: told the brother he would get pain pills and fentanyl
44:36
Speaker 1: from a ranch hand in Mexico. She wrote that she
44:40
Speaker 1: would also say her husband asked the caterer, an alleged
44:44
Speaker 1: drug dealer, to hook him up with more, when actually
44:47
Speaker 1: that housekeeper caterer says that she, Corey Richins, is the
44:52
Speaker 1: one wanting the money. So this is an incredible development
44:59
Speaker 1: in the case. Oh by the way, I don't know
45:02
Speaker 1: if you guys knew this, but justin Boardman in the
45:05
Speaker 1: Dahali at Dippolito case. She then claimed something similar to
45:10
Speaker 1: what Moscow Mule Mom is saying. She claimed that was
45:12
Speaker 1: a script. It was all a setup. They were all
45:16
Speaker 1: acting for a reality show, the way Corey Richards is saying, Oh,
45:23
Speaker 1: that letter telling everybody what to say about my husband
45:25
Speaker 1: being in a dope head. That was part of a manuscript.
45:29
Speaker 1: That's a ticket, a manuscript of a book I was writing.
45:32
Speaker 1: It's not going to work.
45:33
Speaker 7: No, that is a lot of drama, if you will.
45:39
Speaker 7: It also reminds me of a case that was.
45:43
Speaker 11: Investigated a couple of cubicles over from my own, and
45:46
Speaker 11: that was the Susan and Josh Powell case where Susan
45:50
Speaker 11: had put a letter in her work file at work
45:55
Speaker 11: that if she disappeared.
45:56
Speaker 7: Or died, that Josh probably did it. It's very interesting
46:02
Speaker 7: to me to see these sort of people get these
46:07
Speaker 7: intuitions that they might get off by their significant other
46:12
Speaker 7: like he did as.
46:12
Speaker 1: Well, he really did. And you can read the entire
46:17
Speaker 1: letter at crimeonline dot com. But it goes on to say,
46:24
Speaker 1: if you could read it, it says, I need Eric.
46:30
Speaker 1: Eric told Romney he gets pain pillars from Mexico. You
46:35
Speaker 1: may have to testify to this. Romney should have gotten
46:41
Speaker 1: text from Eric talking about getting high. I mean, it
46:45
Speaker 1: goes on and on describing what would help her if
46:51
Speaker 1: they said it on the stand. Nancy, can I jump
46:54
Speaker 1: please jump in.
46:56
Speaker 5: Well, you know, not only is she witnessed hampering, but
46:59
Speaker 5: this is one more example of criminals in broiling their
47:04
Speaker 5: families and their crimes. They don't just take themselves down,
47:07
Speaker 5: they take everyone else down around them.
47:09
Speaker 1: I mean, if you read it, it goes on to
47:13
Speaker 1: talk about how you may have to testify to this,
47:17
Speaker 1: maybe something like he gets high every night and won't
47:22
Speaker 1: help take care of the kids. It just goes on
47:25
Speaker 1: and on and on.
47:27
Speaker 5: Remember Casey Anthony accused her brother and her father of
47:30
Speaker 5: molesting her, and you know all these things. There's this
47:33
Speaker 5: thoughtless attitude, there's this callous disregard for family members. So
47:38
Speaker 5: the family members are used just as much as she
47:41
Speaker 5: used her husband, she used the press, she used her
47:44
Speaker 5: own children without any thought to the consequences.
47:47
Speaker 1: All three of Corey Richins boys living with family of
47:51
Speaker 1: husband Eric Richard's, their biological father they reportedly idolized. It
47:59
Speaker 1: amazes me that he was either a coach, the coach
48:04
Speaker 1: or an assistant coach on all the teams for all
48:08
Speaker 1: three boys. I know we went to every single soccer game,
48:16
Speaker 1: basketball game, football game that our twins were involved with,
48:23
Speaker 1: starting at age four, and it's still going. They're in
48:28
Speaker 1: high school now. My daughter was football manager and my
48:32
Speaker 1: son is still playing soccer. They're in playoffs right now.
48:38
Speaker 1: It's a lot. It's a big time commitment, but you
48:41
Speaker 1: know what a loving parent wants to be there. It's
48:45
Speaker 1: not a burden. I wouldn't miss it for anything. And
48:49
Speaker 1: to think he was the coach or assistant coach for
48:53
Speaker 1: every team all three boys played on. I dread the
48:58
Speaker 1: day they read what really happened on the internet, and
49:02
Speaker 1: they will they will. At this hour, Corey Richins is
49:07
Speaker 1: plotting and scheming and planning an appeal to be released.
49:11
Speaker 1: What will that do to her three boys? We wait
49:17
Speaker 1: as justice unfolds. Nancy Grace Crime Story signing off Goodbye
