0:00
Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. The so called Moscow Mule
0:09
Speaker 1: Mom has been granted a delay in her murder case.
0:14
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the children's book author Cory Richins, a
0:20
Speaker 1: mother of three who police say fatally poisoned husband Eric Richins,
0:25
Speaker 1: then wrote a children's book about grieving. I'm Nancy Grace.
0:29
Speaker 1: This is Crime Stories. Thank you for being with us.
0:32
Speaker 1: The judge in Corey Richins's murder case, aka Moscow Mule Mom,
0:37
Speaker 1: granted a delay in the trial so defense attorneys can
0:40
Speaker 1: argue for seeding Assault Lake County jury in Summit County.
0:46
Speaker 1: The judge paused all proceedings in Richard's murder case. Following
0:51
Speaker 1: hours of argument on whether to bring a Salt Lake
0:56
Speaker 1: County jury to Summit County or the trial. Third District
1:02
Speaker 1: Judge Richard Raysik ruled to keep the trial in Summit
1:06
Speaker 1: County with Summit County gerrrs, despite defense attorney's concerns about impartiality.
1:13
Speaker 1: Richard's attorneys want to appeal that decision, so they asked
1:17
Speaker 1: the judge to delay the trial. It was set to
1:20
Speaker 1: go April twenty eight. That's not happening. The prosecutors did
1:25
Speaker 1: not oppose the motion. To appeal the judge's decision. Now,
1:31
Speaker 1: let me explain the judge rule to keep the trial
1:34
Speaker 1: in some county where the incident occurred with Summit County girrars.
1:41
Speaker 1: The defense wants to bring in gerrrs from another jurisdiction
1:45
Speaker 1: for impartiality. That happens a lot. They want Girrars brought
1:48
Speaker 1: in from Salt Lake County. What happened in the case, now,
1:54
Speaker 1: believe it or not, after authorities allege that she poisons
2:00
Speaker 1: her husband dead, the father of her children, by giving
2:05
Speaker 1: him a moscow mule laced with a huge od a fentanyl. Now,
2:11
Speaker 1: according to reports, what is found in her room the
2:18
Speaker 1: written script. She's trying to cram down the throats of
2:22
Speaker 1: family to paint her as innocent. Ouch. That's terrible when
2:29
Speaker 1: the cops ransack yourself and they find you tampering with witnesses,
2:33
Speaker 1: and I hate when that happens. I'm Ansy Grace. This
2:35
Speaker 1: is Crime Stories. Thank you for being with us here
2:38
Speaker 1: at Crime Stories and on Serious sexem one eleven. I
2:41
Speaker 1: just want you to hear Corey Richardson. I don't get it.
2:45
Speaker 1: She's a sex successful realtor. She flips these mega mansions
2:49
Speaker 1: and makes all kinds of money. She's got a husband
2:53
Speaker 1: who's not cheating, working, supporting the family, beautiful children, and
3:00
Speaker 1: beautiful home. Why this, but I want you to hear
3:05
Speaker 1: it from the horse's mouth. Take a listen to Corey
3:09
Speaker 1: Richins describing why she wrote a kid's book. Listen to
3:13
Speaker 1: Crime Online. I'm new to all of this.
3:15
Speaker 2: Corey Richins appeared on Good Things You Tah, a lifestyle
3:18
Speaker 2: TV program, to talk about her book on grief. She
3:22
Speaker 2: says she's done lots of research to help not only
3:24
Speaker 2: herself but her children cope with the loss of Eric
3:27
Speaker 2: Richinds husband and father. Richard says what has helped her
3:30
Speaker 2: family are the three seeds.
3:32
Speaker 3: The three seeds, you know, connection, continuity, and care.
3:37
Speaker 2: Richard says, it's important to make sure the spirit of
3:40
Speaker 2: your lost loved one is alive in your home by
3:42
Speaker 2: bringing up memories, talking about the person, and doing things
3:46
Speaker 2: that person loved to do.
3:47
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, well, her husband, her dad, husband's memory is
3:51
Speaker 1: going to be coming up a lot in her murder trial.
3:56
Speaker 1: But what about this script has been found in her
4:01
Speaker 1: cell And wait a minute before I go any further.
4:05
Speaker 1: Elaine Ardivius is with US Senior crime reporter with the Messenger.
4:11
Speaker 1: Isn't it true that the woman has just come forward?
4:16
Speaker 1: I believe she worked for the family, a housekeeper who
4:20
Speaker 1: sold the Moscow mule mom Corey Richins, who allegedly sold
4:25
Speaker 1: her the fentnel she used to poison her husband. Hasn't
4:28
Speaker 1: that just happened?
4:29
Speaker 4: Yes, they do have texts between Corey and the housekeeper
4:37
Speaker 4: where Corey is requesting sentinel or she's requesting, you know,
4:44
Speaker 4: the heavy drugs more of and so that has come
4:49
Speaker 4: out that the housekeeper basically was dropping off drugs at
4:54
Speaker 4: various locations allegedly for Corey.
4:58
Speaker 1: That h housekeeper's future test stimony does not jive with
5:02
Speaker 1: the story that this grief stricken mom is writing a
5:06
Speaker 1: grief book to help her children to keep the husband's
5:09
Speaker 1: memory alive. You know what, she can say it better
5:13
Speaker 1: than me. Let's listen to more of Corey Richards from
5:16
Speaker 1: Crime Online.
5:16
Speaker 2: Richins, appearing on Good Things You Talk, said, it's important
5:20
Speaker 2: to explain to children that just because a parent, in
5:22
Speaker 2: Richard's case, the father isn't present physically, that doesn't mean
5:26
Speaker 2: their presence isn't with the children.
5:29
Speaker 3: He's doing these things with us, and he's you know
5:32
Speaker 3: here for birthdays, and he's here for Christmas.
5:34
Speaker 2: Richard says, Now it's just comforting for her children to
5:38
Speaker 2: know they're not living this life alone.
5:40
Speaker 3: Dad is still here. It's just in a different way.
5:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, murdered according to prosecutors. I'm about to jump into
5:47
Speaker 1: the ransacking of Corey Richard's cell and finding the script,
5:52
Speaker 1: but I just want you to hear more of Corey
5:54
Speaker 1: Richards speaking out about how much she wanted to console
5:59
Speaker 1: her grieving little children. And just so you know those children,
6:03
Speaker 1: three little boys at the time, Carter nine, Ashton seven,
6:08
Speaker 1: and Western five. You know, it would have really helped
6:11
Speaker 1: them in life if they still had their dad alive. Okay,
6:15
Speaker 1: but no, that's not going to happen. That said more
6:19
Speaker 1: again from the horse's mouth. Listen our friends, crime alone.
6:24
Speaker 2: Richard says, it's the family traditions that are hard for children,
6:28
Speaker 2: such as the parent typically with the child on the
6:30
Speaker 2: first day of school, helping the child cope with what
6:33
Speaker 2: they're facing. She said in her appearance on Good Things
6:36
Speaker 2: You Taught that acknowledging those types of things not only
6:39
Speaker 2: gives her peace, but the children as well.
6:42
Speaker 3: It's been a lot of peace for my kids. You know,
6:45
Speaker 3: to really remember that in the back of their head
6:47
Speaker 3: that they're never alone.
6:48
Speaker 1: My rear end, doctor Bethany Marshall joining me renown psycho
6:52
Speaker 1: Ana was joining us out of la at doctor Bethany
6:55
Speaker 1: Marshall dot com. Never alone, according to police, She's there
7:00
Speaker 1: a reason that they are alone.
7:03
Speaker 5: You know, Nancy sociopaths like her, They do evil things
7:07
Speaker 5: and they try to undo them. They do and they undo.
7:09
Speaker 5: So she kills their father and then she tries to
7:12
Speaker 5: undo it by saying, oh, it's okay, He's always with you. Also,
7:17
Speaker 5: this woman tries to monetize every thing, you know, She's
7:22
Speaker 5: always trying to make a buck, always trying to get
7:24
Speaker 5: more money. I think that's one of the motivations for
7:26
Speaker 5: killing her husband. Get it out of the way so
7:28
Speaker 5: she can make more money. I think the children's book
7:31
Speaker 5: is just another way to monetize his death.
7:33
Speaker 1: And you know what, I want to pick up what
7:35
Speaker 1: doctor Bethany Marshall just said about the money. Elaine Otivias
7:40
Speaker 1: is with US Senior Investigative Crime Report with the messenger Elene.
7:44
Speaker 1: I'm about to jump into the manuscript, as they are
7:48
Speaker 1: euphemistically calling it. Sees from her jail sale, but there
7:53
Speaker 1: is so much money motive. They had a prenup, but
7:59
Speaker 1: she didn't like the pre nup. He had a very
8:01
Speaker 1: very successful business that he built up from scratch. Then
8:05
Speaker 1: there was the issue of flipping this mega mansion. She
8:08
Speaker 1: wanted to buy this mega mansion and then flip it.
8:11
Speaker 1: He opposed it, and then he dies and within seven
8:18
Speaker 1: days or so, she flips the mansion and then throws
8:21
Speaker 1: a big party, a boozed up party to celebrate the
8:25
Speaker 1: flip with her husband cold in the grave.
8:27
Speaker 4: That's right, she repeatedly is acquiring money. In fact, when
8:37
Speaker 4: her husband died, the sister of the husband went to
8:42
Speaker 4: the house and Corey was already taking things out of
8:46
Speaker 4: the safe. There are things missing that cannot be accounted
8:51
Speaker 4: for that's considered valuable and assets. So over and over
8:57
Speaker 4: there is a pattern of her trying to get more money.
9:01
Speaker 1: You know. Donna Kelley is joining me. Former Utah Senior
9:05
Speaker 1: Deputy District Attorney, lawyer for Crime Victims Legal Clinic. She
9:11
Speaker 1: also helped form the Utah County Sex Crimes Task Force.
9:16
Speaker 1: Donna Kelly, I know that after my fiancee was murdered
9:21
Speaker 1: shortly before our wedding, he was on baseball scholarship, and
9:26
Speaker 1: I wanted one thing. I wanted his baseball that he
9:30
Speaker 1: and I would practice with throw pitch back and forth.
9:35
Speaker 1: And I still have it. I see it every morning.
9:39
Speaker 1: I'm just curious about your reaction to immediately immediately after
9:45
Speaker 1: her husband's death, she is in the safe getting out
9:51
Speaker 1: whatever assets she can find.
9:53
Speaker 6: It's very disturbing, Nancy. It is very disturbing, and she
9:57
Speaker 6: had an ongoing dispute and her had an inkling that
10:02
Speaker 6: this was happening and made it changes in his will
10:05
Speaker 6: to give things to his family as opposed to Corey Richards.
10:18
Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace. In addition to the jury argument,
10:27
Speaker 1: prosecutors want an orange notebook admitted into evidence, saying it
10:32
Speaker 1: bears directly on Corey Richinds the Moscow Mule Mom's actions
10:39
Speaker 1: regarding Eric rich and her husband's death. They say the
10:43
Speaker 1: first five pages of the notebook contained the defendant's handwritten
10:46
Speaker 1: journal detailing the events of March three through four, twenty
10:50
Speaker 1: twenty two, the night Eric Richins died. Prosecutors say Riches
10:56
Speaker 1: admitted she wrote the Orange notebook, that it is her
10:59
Speaker 1: handwriting and contains information that only she would know, but
11:05
Speaker 1: I want to get to what was found in Corey
11:11
Speaker 1: Richard's cell. Listen to our cut five Dave Mack.
11:16
Speaker 2: The Walk the Dog Letter is a six page handwritten
11:18
Speaker 2: letter that Corey Richins wrote for her mother. Prosecutors claimed
11:22
Speaker 2: the letter instructs her mother and brother to give false
11:24
Speaker 2: testimony in the case. According to emotion filed in court.
11:28
Speaker 2: In the letter, Richards wrote, quote this comes down to jealousy,
11:31
Speaker 2: money and Eric's partying that they don't want to acknowledge,
11:34
Speaker 2: and sadly, an accidental overdose unquote. The prosecutors have asked
11:39
Speaker 2: the judge to restrict Richards from further engaging in witness
11:42
Speaker 2: tampering by restricting her from contacting her mother and brother.
11:46
Speaker 2: Defense attorney Skyla Zarro filed a brief accusing the prosecutors
11:50
Speaker 2: of breaching a gag order in the case when they
11:52
Speaker 2: filed the letter titled Walk the Dog as part of
11:55
Speaker 2: their motion.
11:56
Speaker 1: Okay, Elaine ativis tell me what everything about the so
12:01
Speaker 1: called Walk the Dog Letter.
12:04
Speaker 4: The Walk the Dog Letter, first of all, is named
12:07
Speaker 4: that because at the top of the letter, in huge
12:12
Speaker 4: type all caps, she wrote, walk the Dog. I think
12:17
Speaker 4: you can sort of take from that that she was
12:19
Speaker 4: giving instructions to whoever this letter was written for, the
12:25
Speaker 4: state alleges that she was writing it to her mom
12:28
Speaker 4: with instructions of what to say. Hence the state is
12:33
Speaker 4: alleging witness tampering.
12:36
Speaker 5: But this letter really sort.
12:38
Speaker 4: Of talks about you know, it's almost like this what
12:43
Speaker 4: if you know, and talking about what the drugs were
12:47
Speaker 4: for and how this accidentally happened. But in a conversation
12:53
Speaker 4: that she had with her brother, she's alleging that it's
12:55
Speaker 4: part of a fiction mystery novel. Okay, what pet She
12:59
Speaker 4: says that it's part of a fiction mystery novel.
13:03
Speaker 1: I'm so happy, Elaine out of Eus. You just made
13:07
Speaker 1: me a very happy former prosecutor. So they are addressing
13:13
Speaker 1: the Walk the Dog six page letter that was found
13:17
Speaker 1: in her jail cell. And by the way, apparently when
13:19
Speaker 1: they came to and they found that she went into
13:21
Speaker 1: some kind of a seizure. Never had a seizure before
13:24
Speaker 1: in her life, we've been told, But when they found
13:27
Speaker 1: that six page letter in her jail cell, she apparently
13:30
Speaker 1: suffered a seizure. Rich AND's the Moscow Mewle mom claims
13:35
Speaker 1: the letter is trudging her mom to say her husband
13:38
Speaker 1: odeed on drugs from Mexico, claims it is for a
13:41
Speaker 1: book she planned to write. How is that part of
13:47
Speaker 1: a book she planned to write, Elaine out of Eus.
13:51
Speaker 1: What does that have to do with the book? What's
13:53
Speaker 1: the plot of the book.
13:54
Speaker 4: Well, here's what's interesting. So the they released the trend
14:00
Speaker 4: script that she had between her and her brother, and
14:03
Speaker 4: in that conversation that she had with her brother, she
14:07
Speaker 4: explains that this she's written a sixty five page novel
14:12
Speaker 4: and it's all about, you know, from the detention hearing
14:18
Speaker 4: and what happens. And then she gets out of jail
14:23
Speaker 4: and she and her father go to Mexico where they're
14:26
Speaker 4: dealing with a ranch and a cartel. She's saying this
14:30
Speaker 4: that this is part of a sixty five page novel,
14:32
Speaker 4: but that the jail deputies they pulled out this six
14:38
Speaker 4: page letter. She's claiming that this letter is actually part
14:43
Speaker 4: of a bigger novel and that they're picking and choosing,
14:48
Speaker 4: and on top of it all, she also claims that
14:51
Speaker 4: she wrote a letter on top of it, saying that
14:56
Speaker 4: this is part of you know that events have been changed,
15:00
Speaker 4: but based on true, you know, situations that have happened
15:04
Speaker 4: to her and what kills me is that it was
15:08
Speaker 4: hidden inside an Elsat book.
15:12
Speaker 1: Law school admissions test manual. Now, the damning letter appears
15:17
Speaker 1: to instruct someone to tell Corey Richins's brother, Ronnie, to
15:23
Speaker 1: say he had been talking to the dead husband about
15:27
Speaker 1: his ships to Mexico and that the dead husband revealed
15:31
Speaker 1: he had been given pain pills and fentanyls from workers
15:35
Speaker 1: on the ranch. Okay, let's hear some more. Take a
15:41
Speaker 1: listen to investigative reporting team from crimeonline dot Com.
15:45
Speaker 2: KYU TV says in the Walk of the Dog letter,
15:47
Speaker 2: Corey Richins allegedly wants her brother to say Eric Richins
15:51
Speaker 2: told him he got pain pills and fentanyl from Mexico
15:54
Speaker 2: through workers at a ranch. She allegedly points out how
15:58
Speaker 2: Ronnie's testimony could make the connection of Eric and drugs.
16:01
Speaker 2: In the letter, Corey Richins allegedly says the testimony quote
16:05
Speaker 2: can be short and to the point, but has to
16:08
Speaker 2: be done unquote. Richins also tells her mother to pass
16:12
Speaker 2: information to her brother in person, telling her mother her
16:14
Speaker 2: home and phone could be bugged.
16:17
Speaker 1: So pass the information verbally and in person because the
16:20
Speaker 1: home and phone could be bugged. Let's get to the
16:25
Speaker 1: crux of this entire scenario, and that is the gruesome death,
16:30
Speaker 1: the horrible death of a very loving, thirty nine year
16:34
Speaker 1: old dad who was working like a dog to support
16:39
Speaker 1: Corey Richins and their mega mansion and their three little
16:44
Speaker 1: boys as young as age five. This is what happened.
16:50
Speaker 1: Take a listen to our friends at crime Online.
16:52
Speaker 2: According to court documents, Corey Richins called police to their
16:55
Speaker 2: Utah home where her husband, Eric Richins, was found dead
16:58
Speaker 2: in the early morning hours of Mark four, twenty twenty two.
17:01
Speaker 2: Investigators said Corey had given Eric a drink a moscow
17:04
Speaker 2: mule before he went to bed. She then spent part
17:07
Speaker 2: of the night with one of her three children, who
17:09
Speaker 2: had a nightmare, according to court documents. In her written
17:12
Speaker 2: statement the night of his death, she said when she
17:15
Speaker 2: returned to their bedroom at approximately three am, he was
17:18
Speaker 2: cold to the touch and she called nine one one.
17:20
Speaker 2: It was later determined that Eric had five times the
17:23
Speaker 2: lethal dose of fentonyl in his system, which officials said
17:27
Speaker 2: have been ingested orally.
17:28
Speaker 1: Joining me right now is the world's premier authority on
17:33
Speaker 1: fentanyl and fentanyl ingestion and fentanyl OD and also how
17:40
Speaker 1: to revive someone from a fentanyl overdose. Doctor William Maroney,
17:46
Speaker 1: the author of American Narcan, Malaxone and Heroin Fentanyl Associated Immortality.
17:54
Speaker 1: This guy, this doctor, is using his medical degree to
18:00
Speaker 1: people with fentanyl addiction, to the point he has invested
18:05
Speaker 1: his own money and all his years of education and
18:08
Speaker 1: experience to create a traveling mobile unit to help those
18:15
Speaker 1: addicted to fentanyl. Doctor William Roney, this whole story stinks
18:21
Speaker 1: to high heaven. But first of all, explain what happens
18:27
Speaker 1: when you get a fentanyl OD. What happens, What do
18:31
Speaker 1: you experience?
18:32
Speaker 7: Well, however you ingest it, if you swallow it, if
18:35
Speaker 7: you snort it, if you inject it, whatever happens. It
18:38
Speaker 7: goes to your brain, goes in your blood, goes to
18:41
Speaker 7: your brain, and it goes to a place in your
18:44
Speaker 7: brain that controls your breathing. And slowly you breathe shallow, infrequent,
18:55
Speaker 7: less and less, and you suffocate. You go through asphyxia.
19:02
Speaker 7: You lose all your oxygen and your heart stops pumping
19:06
Speaker 7: it and you stop breathing. And it's got to be
19:10
Speaker 7: one of the scariest things in the world. It's like
19:15
Speaker 7: being locked in a tomb darkness. You can't get out.
19:19
Speaker 7: And your body doesn't work, and your muscles don't work,
19:22
Speaker 7: and you get weaker and weaker, and eventually, if you
19:28
Speaker 7: can be reached with narcan before your final breath, narcan
19:37
Speaker 7: can get in your system and push the fentanel off
19:40
Speaker 7: your brain, kind of like pulling fuzzies off your sweater,
19:46
Speaker 7: and you start breathing again. But if you don't have
19:49
Speaker 7: the nark can, you die and you stop breathing in
19:53
Speaker 7: two to three minutes, and you have six minutes before
19:57
Speaker 7: there's irreversible image in your brain. We get a lot
20:02
Speaker 7: of people at the hospital that have been sentinel overdoses
20:05
Speaker 7: and the families keep them around for a couple of days.
20:07
Speaker 7: They keep them on ventilators hoping they're coming back, but
20:10
Speaker 7: the brain dead. So you really need that intervention early.
20:15
Speaker 7: You need all pain and addiction patients in America should
20:20
Speaker 7: have narc hand in their home. And you know what
20:22
Speaker 7: Theanna Scotch truth is, everybody with small children should have
20:27
Speaker 7: nark hand in their home for accidents because this fentanyl
20:30
Speaker 7: stuff is everywhere. It's on dollar bills, it's in other drugs.
20:37
Speaker 7: It could be coming out of grocery stores or things
20:41
Speaker 7: that you touch at the gas station. We're in a
20:44
Speaker 7: fentanyl crisis. This is not an opioid crisis. Sentanyl is
20:50
Speaker 7: so far out of control it's equivalent to a weapon
20:54
Speaker 7: of mass destruction.
20:55
Speaker 1: Doctor Moroney to say, I had a fentyl overdose. What
21:00
Speaker 1: have you ever been asleep and you're trying to wake
21:04
Speaker 1: up but you can't wake up? Or what they like
21:08
Speaker 1: being inside a coffin and little by little you know
21:12
Speaker 1: you're dying and you run out of air and talk
21:17
Speaker 1: to me in regular people talk, Dr Morrooney me, what
21:21
Speaker 1: would he Richan's experience?
21:25
Speaker 7: All of the people I know that have come to
21:27
Speaker 7: me that have overdosed onun sentinel, but they got the
21:29
Speaker 7: nark and they came back and now they're in treatment
21:31
Speaker 7: with medication assistant treatment. They all say there's a rush
21:35
Speaker 7: of heat in the body as the fencanel goes through
21:39
Speaker 7: the bloodstream, and then slowly you lose all consciousness what
21:45
Speaker 7: you described with sleep paralysis where you're kind of in
21:49
Speaker 7: bed and you can think, but you can't move. Sometimes
21:53
Speaker 7: you can't talk. Not being able to breathe is got
21:59
Speaker 7: to be the scariest thing in the world. I would
22:02
Speaker 7: rather be cut in half. It smashed through the car
22:05
Speaker 7: and shot one hundred times and lid on fire than
22:07
Speaker 7: not being able to breathe. If you can't breathe, nothing
22:11
Speaker 7: else matters. And the idea that somebody would put sentinel.
22:16
Speaker 7: The toxic dose of fentanyl is two milligrams. That's equivalent
22:24
Speaker 7: to twelve to fourteen granules out of a salt shaker
22:30
Speaker 7: at the breakfast diner. If you shake salt on the
22:34
Speaker 7: table and you can get ten or twelve or fourteen granules,
22:40
Speaker 7: that's enough fentanyl to kill you, And a full teaspoon
22:44
Speaker 7: is enough to kill everybody in the room.
22:46
Speaker 1: Well, I gotta tell you, doctor Moroniey, I saw report swear.
22:50
Speaker 1: I believe it was a lady cop was on a
22:53
Speaker 1: crime saying and she nearly died because the report was
22:58
Speaker 1: she touched sentinel unwittingly. And I thought, wow, that doesn't
23:03
Speaker 1: ring true to me, because I've in court handles so
23:06
Speaker 1: many drugs with my bare hands and nothing ever happened.
23:11
Speaker 1: But it actually is true, isn't it.
23:14
Speaker 7: It is, And it is the amount of fentanyl that
23:17
Speaker 7: touches the skin and gets absorbed. It's happened in the
23:21
Speaker 7: deputies in the surrounding counties around us, all the deputies
23:25
Speaker 7: try to carry two in our hands. One is for
23:28
Speaker 7: patients or you know, when they're chasing people down or
23:32
Speaker 7: drug overdoses, and one is for their partners. We have
23:36
Speaker 7: to have in our cands and even gloves. Sometimes you
23:41
Speaker 7: got to be careful because those masks are a joke
23:44
Speaker 7: with ventanyl. They don't stop federoyl but people touching crime scenes,
23:50
Speaker 7: turning envelopes over.
23:52
Speaker 1: So that is what is being discussed here. That Eric
23:56
Speaker 1: rich And is the data of three odd on fentanyl.
24:00
Speaker 1: But now, what about a moscow mule? Justin Bordman, just
24:04
Speaker 1: In Time, former detective in this jurisdiction, Utah West Valley CITYPD,
24:09
Speaker 1: now Boardman's training and consultant. Justin Boardman, what's a moscow mule?
24:15
Speaker 8: Well, moscow mule is one of my favorite beverages. But
24:18
Speaker 8: it would be of vodka and ginger beer with a
24:23
Speaker 8: twist of water.
24:24
Speaker 1: Now ginger beer we all had at Universal in Harry
24:28
Speaker 1: potter Land. It's very tangy. I love it. It's not
24:34
Speaker 1: actually beer, it's or is it beer? Because children can
24:38
Speaker 1: get it? Maybe it's more ginger than anything else. In
24:42
Speaker 1: Ginger has a very strong taste which would conceal fenl.
24:49
Speaker 1: I mean yes, no, dodgor marooney, Yes, no. Does fentyl
24:53
Speaker 1: taste like anything fent Fenil's bitter.
24:55
Speaker 7: You need to have some strong, pungent, sour sweet flavoring.
25:00
Speaker 1: Like ginger beer. Okay, So justin boardman. The working theory,
25:05
Speaker 1: I mean, you're the detective. This is your jurisdiction. The
25:09
Speaker 1: theory is that she put fentanel a huge od amount
25:14
Speaker 1: into the ginger beer.
25:15
Speaker 7: Yes, no, yes, And that's the theory.
25:18
Speaker 8: That it was taken orally and was hidden in the
25:21
Speaker 8: Moscow mule that he had that evening and passed from.
25:27
Speaker 1: We're never going to know if she handed him that
25:31
Speaker 1: glass or if he just drank it on his own.
25:33
Speaker 1: But that's when you fall back on circumstantial evidence. Take
25:39
Speaker 1: a listen to.
25:40
Speaker 2: This evidence gathered revealed Corey claim she didn't have access
25:44
Speaker 2: to her phone that night. She said it was left
25:46
Speaker 2: on the charger by her bed while she was in
25:48
Speaker 2: another room tending a sick child. However, a data dumb
25:52
Speaker 2: shows rich AND's phone was in use during the time
25:54
Speaker 2: her husband was dying and that sent messages had been deleted.
25:58
Speaker 2: Additional evidence showed rich was in contact with a drug
26:01
Speaker 2: dealer in Ogden. Leading up to her husband's death, The
26:04
Speaker 2: legal document state she received both hydro codone pills and
26:08
Speaker 2: fentanyl from the dealer. The claim was that the drugs
26:11
Speaker 2: were intended for a client experiencing back pain, even specifically
26:15
Speaker 2: asking for quote the Michael Jackson stuff unquote meaning fentanyl.
26:20
Speaker 2: Information from the autopsy report determined Eric Richards died from
26:23
Speaker 2: an overdose of fentanyl five times the lethal dosing.
26:34
Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace Moscow mel Mom, Corey Richins's
26:41
Speaker 1: trial on hold until an appeal over a change of venue.
26:47
Speaker 1: Now what they actually want is they want jurors bust
26:51
Speaker 1: in from another venue. They want the trial to still
26:55
Speaker 1: be held in Summit County. Back to that Orange notebook,
27:00
Speaker 1: Secutors say the first five pages contain details about the timeline,
27:05
Speaker 1: Moscow Mule Mom's movements and what Eric Richins consumed before
27:10
Speaker 1: he died, among other critical information. These details, when compared
27:17
Speaker 1: to other evidence in the case, they say, make it
27:20
Speaker 1: more probable Corey Richins poisoned Eric Richins with fentanel. Prosecutors say,
27:29
Speaker 1: quote nobody forced or coerced the defendant to write the
27:33
Speaker 1: Orange Notebook. The defendant holds a master's degree, She journaled,
27:38
Speaker 1: risking the likelihood detect us would find it and recognize
27:42
Speaker 1: it for what it is. If there is any prejudice attached,
27:45
Speaker 1: it is entirely fair and well earned. Wow will it
27:52
Speaker 1: come into evidence? What more do we know about the
27:55
Speaker 1: night Eric Richins died? Elaine out of this winning a
28:00
Speaker 1: senior investigative crime reporter with the messenger, Elaine again, thank
28:04
Speaker 1: you for being with us. You know the cover up
28:07
Speaker 1: is deadly in this case deleting text messages. You know what,
28:15
Speaker 1: My phone can barely work. I've got so many emails
28:18
Speaker 1: and text messages on it. I never think to delete anything.
28:21
Speaker 1: I mean there are messages on there for twenty fifteen
28:24
Speaker 1: and sixteen. Yes, So the fact that you suddenly have
28:29
Speaker 1: the urge to delete a bunch of text and emails,
28:32
Speaker 1: which of course anybody can get from the cloud. But
28:36
Speaker 1: that said, explain to me, Elaine outvis She said her
28:41
Speaker 1: phone was in a different room, that that night, of
28:44
Speaker 1: all night she went and slept with her boys while
28:47
Speaker 1: her husband died killed over in the other room. But
28:51
Speaker 1: yet when authority searched, they found out the phone was
28:54
Speaker 1: actually in use the entire time, and that those particular
29:00
Speaker 1: had been deleted. Do I have that right? Could you
29:02
Speaker 1: explain that plase a line?
29:04
Speaker 4: Yes, I think you know a lot of times, especially
29:07
Speaker 4: you know with all the shows we see in all
29:09
Speaker 4: these previous cases we see you know, before you know,
29:13
Speaker 4: they try to do they tried to take care of everything.
29:17
Speaker 4: You know, they they have googled, you know, how do
29:21
Speaker 4: I clean up this or whatever, and somehow they always
29:26
Speaker 4: forget about the phone. The phone has the ability to
29:31
Speaker 4: be tracked because everyone has like find my phone, or
29:35
Speaker 4: you know, the cell towers.
29:37
Speaker 1: They can see movement.
29:38
Speaker 4: They can you know, when when investigators, they have forensic investigators,
29:43
Speaker 4: when they subpoena your phone and they start going through it,
29:47
Speaker 4: they can see when it turned on, when it moved,
29:50
Speaker 4: all of these things. And so I think, you know,
29:54
Speaker 4: we will find out more about it in court when
29:57
Speaker 4: forensic investigators explain what they found. But thus far we
30:02
Speaker 4: know that the phone was in use, so which puts
30:06
Speaker 4: a crack in her story already a big crack.
30:08
Speaker 1: Because you've got your phone, you can call nine one
30:10
Speaker 1: one immediately. And does that mean she wasn't really even
30:14
Speaker 1: in the children's room when she's right there watching the
30:16
Speaker 1: husband die. Dona Kelly joining me former Utah Senior Deputy
30:20
Speaker 1: District Attorney. This jurisdiction, Dona Kelly, the deleting, the text
30:28
Speaker 1: and the emails, the phone movements, it reminds me significantly
30:34
Speaker 1: the Alex Murdock double murder prosecution, where he was charging
30:37
Speaker 1: the murder of his wife Maggie and son Paul. The
30:41
Speaker 1: forensic evidence showed that he was at the dog kennels
30:45
Speaker 1: where his wife and son were murdered riddled with bullets.
30:50
Speaker 1: Because of his cell phone and because of another cell
30:53
Speaker 1: phone video it placed him there. The phone then followed
30:58
Speaker 1: him to his vehicle. The phone traveled with him and
31:02
Speaker 1: his wife, Maggie's phone, then her phone is thrown out
31:05
Speaker 1: of the car, linked with the navigation system in his vehicle.
31:10
Speaker 1: I believe it was a suburban. It shows every move
31:14
Speaker 1: he made from letting the windows up and down, to
31:18
Speaker 1: the speed, to the ignition turn, you name it. Technology
31:23
Speaker 1: is a very powerful tool and the prosecutor's arsenal Donna Kelly.
31:28
Speaker 6: Absolutely. And the reason that jury's loved this kind of
31:32
Speaker 6: evidence is it's very objective. It doesn't have a bias,
31:36
Speaker 6: it doesn't have an agenda, it's just there. And so
31:40
Speaker 6: that evidence is very powerful to a jury, and it
31:45
Speaker 6: also shows the consciousness of guilt that the person has,
31:50
Speaker 6: for example, in deleting messages, you know immediately that sort
31:55
Speaker 6: of thing, So it can show you know, the movement
31:58
Speaker 6: and the messages that went in and out, but it
32:01
Speaker 6: can also show consciousness of your own guilt.
32:04
Speaker 1: HM, you're right, So to stay well. Then began looking
32:09
Speaker 1: at other circumstantial evidence contemporaneous around the time of the death.
32:15
Speaker 1: Take a listen to this.
32:17
Speaker 2: After Eric Richinds's death, Corey Rigins hired a locksmith to
32:20
Speaker 2: open Eric's safe. Between one hundred and twenty five thousand
32:23
Speaker 2: and one hundred and sixty five thousand dollars was reportedly inside.
32:26
Speaker 2: When Eric Richard's sister told her sister in law she
32:29
Speaker 2: didn't have the rights to those funds, Corey Rigins punched her.
32:33
Speaker 2: Eric Richins had also opened a living trust and placed
32:37
Speaker 2: the trust as his life insurance beneficiary instead of Corey.
32:41
Speaker 2: We now know Corey had purchased at least four life
32:44
Speaker 2: insurance policies on Eric Richins, with death benefits of over
32:48
Speaker 2: a million dollars.
32:49
Speaker 1: Okay. Doctor Bethany Marshall renounced Psycho Allen's joining us out
32:53
Speaker 1: of Beverly Hills. I tell you one thing. If my
32:56
Speaker 1: husband David Lynch goes out and takes four life insurance
32:59
Speaker 1: policies out on me, uh uh and uh, We're splitting
33:05
Speaker 1: up at that moment, and I'm taking the twins period.
33:09
Speaker 1: You can have everything else except those twins for life
33:14
Speaker 1: insurance policies.
33:15
Speaker 5: What you know, Nancy, When I when I listen to
33:17
Speaker 5: this story, I so I think of Corey Richards as
33:21
Speaker 5: suffering what I affectionately term the Casey Anthony syndrome. Every lie,
33:27
Speaker 5: every maneuver, every motive is so flagrantly transparent, and from
33:35
Speaker 5: a mental health perspective, she's probably suffering from what we
33:38
Speaker 5: call cluster b cluster B is when you have sociopathy.
33:42
Speaker 9: Are you saying cluster cluster, cluster like a cluster bomb? Okay,
33:48
Speaker 9: So when you have sociopathy, borderline personality disorder and potentially bipolar,
33:55
Speaker 9: I don't even.
33:56
Speaker 1: Know what you're saying. Blah blah blah blah blah. She's gravy,
34:00
Speaker 1: she wants money. What are we talking about? Cluster what?
34:03
Speaker 5: Okay? So sociopathy, they lie, they can, they manipulate, they
34:08
Speaker 5: have parasitic lifestyle. So there you have the money motive,
34:12
Speaker 5: borderline personality disorder, there's clinging and rejecting behavior. They can
34:16
Speaker 5: plot and plan forever, bi polar where they get in
34:21
Speaker 5: such a certain type of mood where they feel no
34:23
Speaker 5: guilt or consciousness or remorse. So she has all these
34:28
Speaker 5: things swirling around, and that's why this story just gets
34:32
Speaker 5: crazier and crazier. And like Casey Anthony, everyone from the
34:36
Speaker 5: outside looking in can say, that's a lie.
34:39
Speaker 6: That's a lie.
34:40
Speaker 5: That's a lie, that's a lie. How can she not
34:43
Speaker 5: know that we know she's lying? And that's what happens
34:47
Speaker 5: with these kinds of personalities. They don't see in themselves
34:50
Speaker 5: what we see in them. And that's why the family
34:54
Speaker 5: went over to check the safe. That's why they caught her,
34:57
Speaker 5: is that they had been observing this for a long
35:01
Speaker 5: long time.
35:02
Speaker 1: Well, there's more to the money motive. And I can't
35:05
Speaker 1: wait for doctor Moroney to jump in on how many
35:07
Speaker 1: dead body sees autopsied that are dead because of money motive.
35:13
Speaker 1: Listen to this.
35:14
Speaker 2: Investigators say Eric Richins was looking into a divorce. He
35:17
Speaker 2: had recently changed his will and life insurance from his
35:21
Speaker 2: wife to his sister. Two friends told detectives that Eric
35:24
Speaker 2: Richins was worried Corey would kill him for the money
35:27
Speaker 2: and wanted to ensure that his kids were taken care
35:29
Speaker 2: of financially. Even as Corey Richins was promoting her children's
35:33
Speaker 2: book about grief on local television, investigators were looking into
35:37
Speaker 2: the couple's troubled past.
35:39
Speaker 1: I've watched that interview a million times and never once
35:42
Speaker 1: did this woman shit a tear. Doctor William Maroney, renowned
35:47
Speaker 1: medical examiner. The love of money the root of all evil.
35:53
Speaker 1: What do you think about that, Maroni.
35:54
Speaker 7: It's really a good reason. It's at the top of
35:57
Speaker 7: the list. Money is. It's like worse than love and
36:01
Speaker 7: infidelity because you can just enjoy it all by yourself.
36:05
Speaker 7: It's sinful, and it's in every culture, and it's in
36:09
Speaker 7: every country, and whether it's male or female, it's always
36:14
Speaker 7: about the money. And what I'm really worried about somebody
36:18
Speaker 7: this reckless. People will reproduce this and what happens. Fentanyl
36:24
Speaker 7: is so dangerous. She could have accidentally killed her children.
36:29
Speaker 1: You're right, the three little boys in the same Huh,
36:32
Speaker 1: what if one of them are taking a sip of
36:34
Speaker 1: that moscow mule?
36:35
Speaker 7: Even if they would have touched fentanyl on the counter,
36:38
Speaker 7: or there was fentanyl dust and something like that is
36:43
Speaker 7: just to poison somebody with fentanyl when they're small children
36:47
Speaker 7: in the room. That's insane.
36:49
Speaker 1: Sentanyl dust. Remember morony, doctor moroney. We just covered the
36:53
Speaker 1: case of a little one year old boy who died
36:56
Speaker 1: in a daycare from sentinyl in New York dust. Other
37:00
Speaker 1: key rulings in the past days, the judge ruled any
37:04
Speaker 1: statements Riches made to Detective Maynard and Detective Woody while
37:10
Speaker 1: her house was being searched cannot be used in the case. Why,
37:15
Speaker 1: He says rich and statements would be protected by the
37:18
Speaker 1: Fifth Amendment right to remain silent since no one at
37:22
Speaker 1: that juncture had yet given her her Miranda rights ouch.
37:28
Speaker 1: In the same ruling, he says info found in her
37:31
Speaker 1: white iPhone can be used at trial. She gave detectives
37:37
Speaker 1: her password. The defense had argued the iPhone would be
37:41
Speaker 1: protected under the Fourth and Fifth Amendments. The judge found
37:44
Speaker 1: police had a warrant for the phone and that Riches
37:48
Speaker 1: gave the phone to detectives. What more do we know
37:53
Speaker 1: about Eric Richands's death? This is not the first time,
37:57
Speaker 1: according to LA Law Enforcement that r Richards tried to
38:01
Speaker 1: murder her husband. Listen to in the investigative reporting team
38:06
Speaker 1: at Crime Stories.
38:07
Speaker 2: Valentine's Day twenty twenty two, Eric Richards becomes violently ill
38:12
Speaker 2: after suffering an allergic reaction after having dinner with his
38:15
Speaker 2: wife of nine years, Corey. He breaks out in hives,
38:18
Speaker 2: can't Breathe passes out after using his son's EPI pen
38:21
Speaker 2: and taking benadrel. When Eric wakes up, he calls his
38:24
Speaker 2: business partner, Cody Wright to let him know what has
38:27
Speaker 2: just happened. Then, without Corey knowing, Eric changes the beneficiary
38:32
Speaker 2: of his will and his power of attorney, replacing his
38:35
Speaker 2: wife Corey with his sister. Legal paperwork suggests that Eric
38:40
Speaker 2: believes Corey might kill him for the money, and he
38:44
Speaker 2: wants his children to be financially secure.
38:46
Speaker 1: Kind of reminds me of Caltman Laurie Valo. Her husband
38:51
Speaker 1: was afraid that she would kill him, so he changed
38:55
Speaker 1: a lot of his financial setup away from her, and
39:03
Speaker 1: she killed him anyway, had him killed anyway, not knowing
39:08
Speaker 1: that she was no longer his beneficiary. That said, this
39:12
Speaker 1: reminds me of another incredible case. And you know I
39:17
Speaker 1: couldn't make this up. Do you remember the name Dahlia Dippolito,
39:22
Speaker 1: reportedly a former escort who marries the victim. She sets
39:30
Speaker 1: up a hit. She sets up a shooting hit to
39:35
Speaker 1: kill him and get money in a town home. But
39:38
Speaker 1: of course she sets it up with an undercover agent
39:41
Speaker 1: and he's got it all on tape, planning to kill
39:44
Speaker 1: her husband. Dahlia Dippolito so apparently she tried to kill
39:49
Speaker 1: him before in a poisoned Starbucks latte of some sort.
39:54
Speaker 1: Didn't work, so she tries again. According to him, he
39:57
Speaker 1: lives the The undercover agent stops the hit, but they
40:02
Speaker 1: pretend to her this is a sting that they're coming
40:08
Speaker 1: to tell her her husband has been attacked and he's dead.
40:12
Speaker 7: Now.
40:13
Speaker 1: Meryl Streep, I love you, lady, but move over because
40:18
Speaker 1: Dahlia Dippolito may beat you out for your next oscar.
40:22
Speaker 1: Listen to Dahlia Dippolito reacting to niece her husband is dead.

Speaker 1: I'm Sergeant Ramsey. I'm the one to call you. Thank

Speaker 1: Need you to go with these defectives.

Speaker 6: Does he have enemies?
41:03
Speaker 7: Is there anyone who would want to hear? Okay, you
41:06
Speaker 7: would want to hurt him withiness? Said he saw a
41:08
Speaker 7: blackmail running from me. I can't let just need them them.
41:11
Speaker 7: I cannot do this right now.
41:13
Speaker 5: I can't.
41:16
Speaker 1: I need you.
41:16
Speaker 7: I need you to take there to the stations. I
41:19
Speaker 7: can't man, go with these detectives. If you want to
41:21
Speaker 7: help your husband, okay, if you want to help your husband,

Speaker 7: Don't worry. We've already taken care of dogs with animal
41:31
Speaker 7: control for right now. Everything's under control.
41:34
Speaker 1: There's more, but I just listen to that all day.
41:38
Speaker 1: Did you hear that, Donna Kelly? That was Dollia Dipolito
41:42
Speaker 1: when she's told her husband's dead, he's not dead.
41:46
Speaker 10: Uh.
41:46
Speaker 1: Later at the police station, they're questioning her and he
41:48
Speaker 1: walks by. He goes Hi, you tried to kill me.
41:52
Speaker 10: But in this case, now we're getting this very long
41:56
Speaker 10: letter for obviously Corey Rich's Moscow Mule Mom is trying
42:01
Speaker 10: to convince her family to lie about her husband traveling
42:05
Speaker 10: to Mexico to get these drugs.
42:07
Speaker 6: Yes, that evidence is going to be explosive and very
42:12
Speaker 6: powerful in front of the jury, and compounding the actual
42:18
Speaker 6: letter is also the evidence that she's trying to manufacture
42:23
Speaker 6: excuses for writing it. She says, at first it was
42:28
Speaker 6: written for her lawyer's benefits, so it's privileged. Well, that's
42:32
Speaker 6: obviously a lie because write in the letter she refers
42:35
Speaker 6: to her lawyer by name, you know, tell my brother
42:39
Speaker 6: to go talk to the name of her lawyer. So
42:42
Speaker 6: obviously it's not written for the lawyer. But also then
42:46
Speaker 6: now she had to concoct a new lie because that
42:50
Speaker 6: one didn't fly. So you have not only the letter
42:53
Speaker 6: with the instructions of how to lie, but you have
42:57
Speaker 6: her excuses for writing it, which compounds again shows her
43:03
Speaker 6: consciousness of her own guilt.
43:05
Speaker 1: While she's having some type of a seizure, guard search
43:09
Speaker 1: her cell find a copy of a bombshell letter instructing
43:12
Speaker 1: her own mother to fuel conspiracy theories that her dead
43:17
Speaker 1: husband had a drug problem and overdosed. He was at
43:20
Speaker 1: work every day, working trying to pay for that mega
43:24
Speaker 1: mansion they were living in. In the letter, she reportedly
43:27
Speaker 1: asked her for the mother to get her brother to
43:31
Speaker 1: concoct a story. The husband, a year before his death,
43:35
Speaker 1: secretly told the brother he would get pain pills and
43:38
Speaker 1: fentanyl from a ranch hand in Mexico. She wrote that
43:42
Speaker 1: she would also say her husband asked the caterer, an
43:46
Speaker 1: alleged drug dealer, to hook him up with more, when
43:50
Speaker 1: actually that housekeeper caterer says that she, Corey Richins, is
43:55
Speaker 1: the one wanting the money. So this is an incredible
44:01
Speaker 1: development in the case. And oh, by the way, I
44:04
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys knew this, but justin Boardman
44:08
Speaker 1: in the dahliat Dippolito case. She then claimed something similar
44:13
Speaker 1: to what Moscow Mule Mom is saying. She claimed that
44:15
Speaker 1: was a script. It was all a setup. They were
44:18
Speaker 1: all acting for a reality show. The way Corey Richards
44:23
Speaker 1: is saying, Oh, that letter telling everybody what to say
44:27
Speaker 1: about my husband being a dope head, that was part
44:30
Speaker 1: of a manuscript. That's a ticket, a manuscript of a
44:33
Speaker 1: book I was writing, It's not going to work.
44:36
Speaker 8: No, that is a lot of drama, if you will.
44:42
Speaker 8: It also reminds me of a case that was investigated
44:47
Speaker 8: a couple of cubicles over from my own, and that
44:50
Speaker 8: was the Susan and Josh Powell case where Susan had
44:54
Speaker 8: put a letter in her work file at work that
44:58
Speaker 8: if she disappeared or died, that Josh probably did it.
45:03
Speaker 8: It's very interesting to me to see these sort of
45:09
Speaker 8: people get these intuitions that they might get off by
45:13
Speaker 8: their significant other like he did.
45:15
Speaker 1: As well, he really did. And you can read the
45:19
Speaker 1: entire letter at crimeonline dot com. But it goes on
45:25
Speaker 1: to say, if you could read it, it says, I
45:30
Speaker 1: need Eric. Eric told Ronnie he gets pain pillars from Mexico.
45:38
Speaker 1: You may have to testify to this. Romney should have
45:43
Speaker 1: gotten text from Eric talking about getting high. I mean,
45:48
Speaker 1: it goes on and on describing what would help her
45:54
Speaker 1: if they said it on the stand.
45:56
Speaker 5: Nancy, can I please jump in, Well know, not only
46:01
Speaker 5: is she witnessed hampering, but this is one more example
46:05
Speaker 5: of criminals in broiling their families and their crimes. They
46:08
Speaker 5: don't just take themselves down, they take everyone else down
46:11
Speaker 5: around them.
46:12
Speaker 1: I mean, if you read it, it goes on to
46:16
Speaker 1: talk about how you may have to testify to this,
46:20
Speaker 1: maybe something like he gets high every night and won't
46:25
Speaker 1: help take care of the kids. It just goes on
46:29
Speaker 1: and on and on.
46:30
Speaker 5: Remember Casey Anthony accused her brother and her father of
46:33
Speaker 5: molesting her, and you know all these things. There's this
46:36
Speaker 5: thoughtless attitude, there's this callous disregard for family members. So
46:41
Speaker 5: the family members are used just as much as she
46:44
Speaker 5: used her husband, she used the press, she used her
46:47
Speaker 5: own children without any thought to the consequences.
46:50
Speaker 1: The so called Moscow Mule Mom has been granted a
46:55
Speaker 1: delay in her murder case. In other rulings, the judge
46:59
Speaker 1: said statement Richinds made to detective of driscal can be
47:03
Speaker 1: used at trial. The defense had argued a Driscoll knew
47:07
Speaker 1: Richins had an attorney and questioned her without her attorney present.
47:11
Speaker 1: The judge says Richins was not in custody at the
47:15
Speaker 1: time and had invited the detective into her home and
47:19
Speaker 1: expressed willingness and gratitude to be able to speak with
47:23
Speaker 1: detectives and did not ask the officers to leave. So
47:27
Speaker 1: therefore the Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination would not apply.
47:33
Speaker 1: That faithful evening has ruined the lives of the Richings children.
47:38
Speaker 1: We wait as justice unfolds. Goodbye friend,
