Episode Overview

In this episode, Nancy Grace delves into the tragic case of the Richins family — focusing on the aftermath of Eric Richins' murder and the fate of his three sons after their mother, Corey Richins (dubbed the "Moscow Mule mom"), is imprisoned for Eric's poisoning death. The discussion explores Corey’s actions before, during, and after the crime, her attempts to craft a narrative of grief, and the details of a botched cover-up, all with a focus on what becomes of the children left behind.

Grace is joined by legal, medical, and crime experts including Dr. Bethany Marshall (psychoanalyst), Dr. William Maroney (fentanyl expert), Donna Kelly (former Utah prosecutor), and reporter Elaine Otavias, offering a comprehensive, engaging, and at times sharp-tongued breakdown of the case’s many layers.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Tragedy: Family in Crisis

• Eric Richins, a loving father of three boys (Carter, Ashton, Weston), was murdered in March 2022.

• Corey Richins, his wife, was later convicted of his murder by poisoning his drink (a Moscow Mule) with a lethal dose of fentanyl.

• At the time, the children were ages 9, 7, and 5 ([08:12]).

  “You know, it would have really helped them in life if they still had their dad alive.” — Nancy Grace [08:12]

---

2. Corey’s Grief Book and Public Persona

• Before her arrest, Corey published a children's book about grief, claiming she wanted to help her children cope.

• She made TV appearances promoting the three Cs: "connection, continuity, and care" ([06:01]).

• Contradictions emerge between her public displays of mourning and the evidence uncovered.

  "Yeah, murdered. According to prosecutors." — Nancy Grace, in reaction to Corey’s statements about her late husband’s ‘presence’ [08:12]

• Hypocrisy: The book was reportedly ghostwritten. After Corey’s conviction, it was removed from Amazon ([16:29]).

---

3. Financial Motive and Pre-Crime Behavior

• Corey and Eric’s marriage faced tension over money, particularly real estate investments and a disputed mega mansion flip.

• Multiple life insurance policies were taken out on Eric, totaling approx. $3 million ([36:55]).

• After Eric's death, Corey was caught taking valuables from the safe, and police found assets missing ([10:56]).

• Eric had changed beneficiaries on insurance policies to protect his children.

  “Over and over there is a pattern of her trying to get more money.” — Elaine Otavias [10:56]

---

4. Evidence and Witness Tampering

• Orange notebook: Journal found in Corey’s cell with her detailed account of the murder night ([18:00]).

• Walk the Dog Letter: Six-page handwritten letter found in jail, urging her mother and brother to testify Eric died of an ‘accidental overdose’ ([18:48]).

  • Corey claimed it was part of a fiction novel; prosecutors allege witness tampering.
  • Hidden in an LSAT book. Instructions include avoiding phone communication in case of wiretaps.

  "She says that it’s part of a fiction mystery novel." — Elaine Otavias [20:30]

  "Richens also tells her mother to pass information to her brother in person, telling her mother her home and phone could be bugged." — Crime Online Reporter [23:15]

• Deleted evidence: Corey claimed she left her phone in another room but forensic evidence showed it was in use and messages were deleted during Eric’s death ([33:13], [40:28]).

---

5. The Method: Fentanyl Murder

• Dr. William Maroney describes the lethality of fentanyl and its terrifying effects ([26:04]), emphasizing the recklessness of having fentanyl in a home with small children.

  "The toxic dose of fentanyl is 2 milligrams...a full teaspoon is enough to kill everybody in the room." — Dr. Maroney [29:29]

• Fentanyl was obtained through questionable means, including Corey’s housekeeper/drug supplier ([06:59]).

• The mixture of vodka and ginger beer (Moscow Mule) could mask fentanyl’s bitter taste ([32:25]).

  “Fentanyl's bitter. You need strong, pungent, sour, sweet flavoring, like ginger beer.” — Dr. Maroney [32:25]

• Evidence pointed to Corey searching for and obtaining "the Michael Jackson stuff" (slang for fentanyl) ([33:13]).

---

6. The Boys’ Fate: Custody and Their Future

• After Corey's arrest, the boys are placed under Eric’s family's care; Corey is allowed only limited video calls ([36:55]).

• The children are described as being loved and supported, but face a difficult reckoning as they grow older and eventually learn the truth online ([57:04]).

• The family’s financial security was preserved by Eric’s proactive moves before his death ([36:55]).

  “I dread the day they read what really happened on the internet. And they will. They will.” — Nancy Grace [57:04]

---

7. Patterns and Parallels

• Parallels drawn with other true crime cases involving women who murdered for financial gain (e.g., Dalia Dippolito, Lori Vallow, Casey Anthony) and fabricated elaborate alibis or narratives ([49:07], [53:32]).

• Psychological analysis of Corey’s behavior — sociopathy, manipulativeness, lack of remorse — “Casey Anthony syndrome” ([44:28]).

  "Every lie, every maneuver, every motive is so flagrantly transparent." — Dr. Bethany Marshall [44:28]

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On the direct impact to the boys:

  “Those children, three little boys at the time, Carter, 9, Ashton, 7, and Weston, 5...never alone. According to police, she’s the reason that they are alone.” — Nancy Grace [08:12], [09:17]

• On financial motive:

  "She’s always trying to make a buck, always trying to get more money. I think that’s just children’s book is just another way to monetize his death." — Dr. Bethany Marshall [09:32]

• On witness tampering:

  "This comes down to jealousy, money, and Eric’s partying that they don’t want to acknowledge and sadly, an accidental overdose." — Excerpt from the Walk the Dog Letter [18:48]

• On criminal psychology:

  “They don’t just take themselves down, they take everyone else down around them.” — Dr. Bethany Marshall [56:13]

• On technology as evidence:

  "The reason that juries love this kind of evidence is it's very objective. It doesn’t have a bias, it doesn’t have an agenda." — Donna Kelly [42:51]

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.

[Crime Stories Reporter]

What do we know about the so called Moscow Mule mom's children? Three boys left behind. Where are her children today?

[Nancy Grace]

I'm Nancy Grace, this is Crime Stories.

[Crime Stories Reporter]

I want to thank you for being with us. What do we know about so called Moscow Mule mom Corey Richen's children's lives today after she killed her husband? You remember Eric Richards found dead in his bedroom. Then later, March 2026, his wife, Corey Richards, found guilty by a jury of murder. Now, at the time he was murdered, Corey Richards and husband Eric had been married for nine years and they had three beautiful children, all boys. Richards was arrested in connection with her husband's death. But two months before she was busted, she published a child's book supposedly helping children cope with loss, mourning and grief. Now those boys are entering their teens. What do they know about what happened at trial? What was the evidence that these three boys will someday read on the Internet?

[Nancy Grace]

Believe it or not, after authorities allege that she poisons her husband, dead, the father of her children, by giving him a Moscow Mule laced with a huge OD of fentanyl. Now, according to reports, what is found in her room? The written script she's trying to cram down the throats of family to paint her as innocent. Ouch. That's terrible. When the cops ransack your cell and they find you tampering with witnesses. I hate when that happens. I'm Nancy Grace, this is Crime Stories. Thank you for being with us here at Crime Stories and on Sirius XM111. I just want you to hear Corey Richardson. I don't get it. She's a sex successful realtor. She flips these mega mansions and makes all kind of money. She's got a husband who's not cheating. Working, supporting the family, beautiful children, beautiful home.

[Dr. William Maroney]

Why this?

[Nancy Grace]

But I want you to hear it from the horse's mouth. Take a listen to Corey Richards describing why she wrote a kid's book. Listen to Crime Online.

[Corey Richards (voice clips)]

I'm new to all of this.

[Crime Online Reporter]

Corey Richards appeared on Good Things Utah, a lifestyle TV program, to talk about her book on grief. She said she's done lots of research to help not only herself but her children cope with the loss of Eric Richards husband and father. Richen says what has helped her family are the three Cs.

[Corey Richards (voice clips)]

The three Cs, you know, connection, continuity and care.

[Crime Online Reporter]

Richen says it's important to make sure the spirit of your lost loved one is alive in your home. But by bringing up memories, talking about the person and doing things that person loved to do.

[Nancy Grace]

Okay, yeah, well, her husband, her dead husband's memory is going to be coming up a lot in her murder trial. But what about this script that has been found in her cell? And wait a minute, before I go any further, Elaine Artevias is with us, senior crime reporter with the messenger. Isn't it true that the woman has just come forward? I believe she worked for the family, a housekeeper who sold the Moscow mule mom, Corey Richards, who allegedly sold her the fentanyl she used to poison her husband. Hasn't that just happened?

[Elaine Otavias]

Yes, they do have texts between Corey and the housekeeper where Corey is requesting fentanyl or she's requesting, you know, the heavy drugs. More of. And so that has come out that the housekeeper basically was dropping off drugs at various locations allegedly for Corey.

[Nancy Grace]

That housekeeper's future testimony does not jive with the story that this grief stricken mom is writing a grief book to help her, her children to keep the husband's memory alive. You know what? She can say it better than me. Let's listen to more of Corey Richards from Crime Online.

[Crime Online Reporter]

Richards appearing on Good Things Utah said it's important to explain to children that just because a parent, in Richen's case, the father isn't present physically, that doesn't mean their presence isn't with the children.

[Corey Richards (voice clips)]

He's doing these things with us and he's, you know, here for birthdays and he's here for Christmas.

[Crime Online Reporter]

Richen says now it's just comforting for her children to know they're not living this life alone.

[Corey Richards (voice clips)]

Dad is still here. It's just in a different way.

[Nancy Grace]

Yeah, murdered. According to prosecutors. I'm about to jump into the ransacking of Corey Richardson's cell and finding the script. But I just want you to hear more of Corey Rich and speaking out about how much she wanted to console her grieving little children. And just so you know, those children, three little boys at the time, Carter, 9, Ashton, 7, and Weston, 5. You know, it would have really helped them in life if they still had their dad alive.

[Crime Stories Reporter]

Okay?

[Nancy Grace]

But no, that's not going to happen. That said, more again from the horse's mouth. Listen to our friends. Crime Online.

[Crime Online Reporter]

Richen says it's the family traditions that are hard for children, such as the parent, typically with the child on the first day of school, helping the child cope with what they're facing. She said in her appearance on Good Things Utah that acknowledging those types of things not only gives her peace, but the children as well.

[Corey Richards (voice clips)]

It's been a lot of peace for my kids to, you know, to really remember that in the back of their head that they're never alone.

[Nancy Grace]

My rear end. Dr. Bethany Marshall joining me, renowned psychoanalyst joining us out of LA at Dr.bethany marshall.com Never alone. According to police, she's the reason that they are alone.

[Dr. Bethany Marshall]

You know, Nancy, sociopaths like her, they do evil things and they try to undo them. They do and they undo. So she kills their father and then she tries to undo it by saying, oh, it's okay, he's always with you. Also, this woman tries to monetize everything. You know, she's always trying to make a buck, always trying to get more money. I think that's one of the motivations for killing her husband, get him out of the way so she can make more money. I think that's just children's book is just another way to monetize his death.

[Nancy Grace]

And you know what? I want to pick up on what Dr. Bethany Marshall just said about the money. Elaine Otavias is with us, senior investigative crime reporter with the Messenger. Elaine, I'm about to jump into the manuscript, as they are euphemistically calling it, seized from her jail cell. But there is so much money. Motive. They had a prenup. She didn't like the prenup. He had a very, very successful business that he built up from scratch. Then there was the issue of flipping this mega mansion. She wanted to buy this mega mansion and then flip it. He opposed it and then he dies. And within seven days or so she flips the mansion and then throws a big party, a boozed up party to celebrate the flip with her husband cold in the grave.

[Elaine Otavias]

That's right. She repe repeatedly is acquiring money. In fact, when, when, when her husband died, the the sister of the husband went to the house and Corey was already taking things out of the safe. There are things missing that cannot be accounted for that's considered valuable and assets. So over and over there is a pattern of her trying to get more

[Nancy Grace]

money, you know, Donna Kelly is joining me, former Utah senior deputy district attorney, lawyer for Crime Victims Legal Clinic. She also helped form the Utah County Sex Crimes Task Force. Donna Kelly, I know that after my fiance was murdered shortly before our wedding he was on baseball scholarship and I wanted one thing, I wanted his baseball that he and I would practice with throw pitch back and forth and I still have it. I see it every morning. I'm just curious about your reaction to Immediately immediately after her husband's death she is in the safe getting out whatever assets she can find.

[Donna Kelly]

It's very disturbing, Nancy. It is very disturbing and she had an ongoing dispute and her husband had an inkling that this was happening and made changes in his will to to give things to his family as opposed to Corey Richards

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.

[Crime Stories Reporter]

Where are Moscow Mule mom Corey Richen's children now? Her three boys left basically orphaned, dad dead, mom convicted of murder. They were all under the age of 10 at the time Eric was murdered. He was an incredible loving father according to all of our sources. He was a coach and or an assistant coach on every single one of his son's sports teams. So good to his children. Can they remember him? They idolized their dad and he idolized them as well. That's from family in this book written by Moscow Mule mom Corrie Richens called Are you with me? She follows a story of a little child who loses their dad but is always reminded his presence exists or all around them like an angel watching over them. You know, it's interesting to me that Corey Richards dedicated that book to, quote, my amazing husband and a wonderful father. Wow. Okay. This is right after she murders Him. She claims she writes the book with her sons, but during the trial, texts show on Are youe With Me? Was actually written by a ghost writer. Of course, the book is no longer available and it's been struck from Amazon. What more did we learn at trial?

[Nancy Grace]

Prosecutors want an orange notebook saying it bears directly on Corey Richens, the Moscow Mule mom's actions regarding Eric Rich and her husband's death. They say the first five pages of the notebook contain the defendant's handwritten journal detailing the event of March three through four, 2022, the night Eric Richards died. Prosecutors say Richards admitted she wrote the orange notebook, that it is her handwriting and contains information that only she would know. But I want to get to what was found in Corey Richen's cell. Listen to our cut. 5. Dave Mack.

[Crime Online Reporter]

The Walk the Dog letter is a six page handwritten letter that Corey Richards wrote for her mother. Prosecutors claim the letter instructs her mother and brother to give false testimony in the case, according to a motion filed in court. In the letter Richins wrote, this comes down to jealousy, money, and Eric's partying that they don't want to acknowledge and sadly, an accidental overdose. The prosecutors have asked the judge to restrict Richins from further engaging in witness tampering by restricting her from contacting her mother and brother. Defense attorney Skyla Zarro filed a brief accusing the prosecutors of breaching a gag order in the case when they filed the letter titled Walk the Dog as part of their motion.

[Nancy Grace]

Okay, Elaine Otavias, tell me everything about the so called Walk the Dog letter.

[Elaine Otavias]

The Walk the Dog letter, first of all is named that because at the top of the letter, in huge type, all caps, she wrote Walk the Dog. I think you can sort of take from that, that she was giving instructions to whoever this letter was written for. The state alleges that she was writing it to her mom with instructions of what to say. Hence the state is alleging witness tampering. But this letter really sort of talks about, you know, it's almost like this, what if you. And talking about what the drugs were for and how this accidentally happened. But in a conversation that she had with her brother, she's alleging that it's part of a fiction mystery novel.

[Nancy Grace]

Okay, what?

[Crime Stories Reporter]

Repeat.

[Elaine Otavias]

She says that it's part of a fiction mystery novel.

[Nancy Grace]

I'm so happy, Elaine Otivelas. You just made me a very happy former prosecutor. So they are addressing the Walk the Dog six page letter that was found in her jail cell. And by the way, apparently when they came to and they found that she Went into some kind of a seizure. Never had a seizure before in her life, we've been told. But when they found that six page letter in her jail cell, she apparently suffered a seizure. Richens the Moscow Mule mom claims the letter instructing her mom to say her husband OD'd on drugs from Mexico claims it is for a book she planned to write. How is that part of a book she planned to write? Elaine Otivez? What does that have to do with the book? What's the plot of the book?

[Elaine Otavias]

Well, here's what's interesting. So the they released the transcript that she had between her and her brother. And in that conversation that she had with her brother, she explains that this, she's written a 65 page novel and it's all about, you know, from the detention hearing and what happens. And then she gets out of jail and she and her father go to Mexico where they're dealing with a ranch and a cartel. She is saying this, that this is part of a 65 page novel, but that the jail deputies, they pulled out this six page letter. She's claiming that this letter is actually part of a bigger novel and that they're picking and choosing. And on top of it all, she also claims that she wrote a letter on top of it saying that this is part of, you know, that events have been changed but based on true, you know, situations that have happened to her. And what kills me is that it was hidden inside an LSAT book.

[Nancy Grace]

Law School Admissions Test Manual. Now the damning letter appears to instruct someone to tell Corey Richen's brother Ronnie to say he had been talking to the dead husband about his trips to Mexico and that the dead husband revealed he had been given pain pills and fentanyls from workers on the ranch. Okay, let's hear some more. Take a listen to investigative reporting team

[Crime Online Reporter]

from crimeonline.com Kutv says in the Walk the Dog letter, Corey Richards allegedly wants her brother to say Eric Richards told him he got pain pills and fentanyl from Mexico through workers at a ranch. She allegedly points out how Ronnie's testimony could make the connection of Eric and drugs. In the letter, Corey Richards allegedly says the testimony can be short and to the point, but has to be done. Richards also tells her mother to pass information to her brother in person, telling her mother her home and phone could be bugged.

[Nancy Grace]

So pass the information verbally and in person because the home and phone could be bugged. Let's get to the crux of this entire scenario and that is the gruesome death, the horrible death of a very loving 39 year old dad who was working like a dog to support Corey Richards and their mega mansion and their three little boys as young as age five. This is what happened. Take a listen to our friends at Crime Online.

[Crime Online Reporter]

According to court documents, Corey Richins called police to their Utah home where her husband Eric Richins was found dead in the early morning hours of March 4, 2022. Investigators said Corey had given Eric a drink, a Moscow mule, before he went to bed. She then spent part of the night with one of her three children who had a nightmare, according to court documents. In her written statement the night of his death, she said when she returned to their bedroom at approximately 3am he was cold to the touch and she called 911. It was later determined that Eric had five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in his system, which officials said had been ingested orally.

[Nancy Grace]

Joining me right now is the world's premier authority on fentanyl and fentanyl ingestion and fentanyl OD and also how to revive someone from a fentanyl overdose. Dr. William Maroney, the author of American Narcan, Naloxone and Heroin Fentanyl Associated Mortality. This guy, this doctor is using his medical degree to help people with fentanyl addiction to the point he has invested his own money and all his years of education and experience to create a traveling mobile unit to help those addicted to fentanyl. Dr. William Maroney, this whole story stinks to high heaven. But first of all, explain what happens when you get a fentanyl O D. What happens? What do you experience?

[Dr. William Maroney]

Well, however you ingest it, if you swallow it, if you snort it, if you inject it, whatever happens, it goes to your brain, goes in your blood, goes to your brain, and it goes to a place in your brain that controls your breathing. And slowly you breathe shallow, infrequent, less and less, and you suffocate. You go through asphyxia. You lose all your oxygen and your heart stops pumping and it. And you stop breathing and, and it's got to be one of the scariest things in the world. It's. It's like being locked in a tomb. Darkness. You can't get out and your body doesn't work and your muscles don't work and you get weaker and weaker. And eventually, if, if you can be reached with Narcan before your final breath, Narcan can get in your system and push the fentanyl off your brain. Kind of like pulling fuzzies off your sweater and you start breathing again. But if you don't have the Narcan, you die. And you stop breathing in two to three minutes. And you have six minutes before there's irreversible damage in your brain. We get a lot of people at the hospital that have been fentanyl overdoses. And the families keep them around for a couple days. They keep them on ventilators, hope they're coming back, but they're brain dead. So you really need that intervention early. You need all pain and addiction patients in America should have Narcan in their home. And you know what? The honest God truth is, everybody with small children should have Narcan in their home for accidents. Because this fentanyl stuff is everywhere. It's on dollar bills, it's in other drugs. It could be coming out of grocery stores or things that you touch at the gas station. We're in a fentanyl crisis. This is not an opioid crisis. Fentanyl is so far out of control, its equivalent to a weapon of mass destruction.

[Nancy Grace]

Dr. Maroney, say I had a fentanyl overdose. Would it have you ever been asleep and you're trying to wake up but you can't wake up? Or would it be like being inside a coffin and little by little you know you're dying and you run out of air and talk to me. And regular people talk, Dr. Maroney. I mean, what would he. Eric Richens experience?

[Dr. William Maroney]

All of the people I know that have come to me that have overdosed on fentanyl, but they got the Narcan, they came back, and now they're in treatment with medication, assisted treatment. They all say there's a rush of heat in the body as the fentanyl goes through the bloodstream, and then slowly you lose all consciousness. What you described was sleep paralysis where you're kind of in bed and you can think, but you can't move. Sometimes you can't talk. Not being able to breathe is got to be the scariest thing in the world. I would rather be cut in half and smashed with a car and shot 100 times the lit on fire than not being able to breathe. If you can't breathe, nothing else matters. And the idea that somebody would put fentanyl. The toxic dose of fentanyl is 2 milligrams. That's equivalent to 12 to 14 granules out of a salt shaker at the breakfast diner. If you shake salt on the table and you can get 10 or 12 or 14 granules, that's enough fentanyl to Kill you. And a full teaspoon is enough to kill everybody in the room.

[Nancy Grace]

Well, I gotta tell you, Dr. Maroney, I saw reports where I believe it was a lady cop was on a crime scene and she nearly died because the report was she touched fentanyl unwittingly. And I thought, wow, that. That doesn't ring true to me because I've in court, handled so many drugs with my bare hands, and nothing ever happened. But it actually is true, isn't it?

[Dr. William Maroney]

It is. And it is the amount of fentanyl that touches the skin and gets absorbed. It's happened in the deputies in the surrounding counties around us. All the deputies try to carry two Narcans. One is for patients or, you know, when they're chasing people down or drug overdoses, and one is for their partners. We have to have Narcan and even gloves sometimes. You got to be careful because those masks are a joke. With fentanyl, they don't stop fentanyl, but people touching crime scenes, turning envelopes over.

[Nancy Grace]

So that is what is being discussed here. That Eric Richards, the dad of three, OD'd on fentanyl. But now, what about a Moscow Mule? Justin Boardman, just in time. Former detective in this jurisdiction, Utah, West Valley, City PD Now Boardman training and consultant. Justin Boardman. What's a Moscow Mule?

[Dr. William Maroney]

Well, Moscow Mule is one of my favorite beverages, but it would be vodka and ginger beer with a twist of wine.

[Nancy Grace]

Now, ginger beer we all had at Universal in Harry Potter land. It's very tangy. I love it. It's not actually beer. It's. Or is it beer? Because children could get it. Maybe it's more ginger than anything else. And ginger has a very strong taste. Which would conceal fentanyl. I mean, yes, no, Dr. Maroney, yes.

[Sergeant Ramsey]

No.

[Nancy Grace]

Does fentanyl taste like anything?

[Dr. William Maroney]

Fentanyl's bitter. You need to have some strong, pungent, sour, sweet flavoring, like ginger beer.

[Nancy Grace]

Okay, so, Justin Boardman, the theory. The working theory. I mean, you're the detective. This is your jurisdiction. The theory is that she put fentanyl, a huge OD amount into the ginger beer. Yes. No.

[Dr. William Maroney]

Yes. And that's the theory that it was taken orally and was hidden in the Moscow Mule that he had that evening and passed from.

[Nancy Grace]

We're never going to know if she handed him that glass or if he just drank it on his own. But that's when you fall back on circumstantial evidence. Take a listen to this.

[Crime Online Reporter]

Evidence gathered, revealed Corey claimed she didn't have access to her phone that night. She said it was left on the charger by her bed while she was in another room tending a sick child. However, a data dump shows Richen's phone was in use during the time her husband was dying and that sent messages had been deleted. Additional evidence showed Richins was in contact with a drug dealer in Ogden leading up to her husband's death. The legal documents state she received both hydrocodone pills and fentanyl from the dealer. The claim was that the drugs were intended for a client experiencing back pain, even specifically asking for the Michael Jackson stuff, meaning fentanyl. Information from the autopsy report determined Eric Richards died from an overdose of fentanyl five times the lethal dosage.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.

[Crime Stories Reporter]

Following Corey Richen's arrest, all three little boys were given to Eric's family. Now what we learned is that Moscow Mule mom Corey Richards and her murdered husband Eric had been having a lot of relationship problems. And Eric, without his wife's knowledge. And because his wife, Corey Richards, was spending hundreds of thousands of dollars erratically in one failed real estate deal after the next, he put the money, all the money, in a secret trust and appointed his sister, Katie Richards Benson, as trustee. At the time of Eric's murder, there were at least six life insurance policies on him totaling $3 million. Approximately $3 million. What a shame it would have been if all that money ends up going to Corey Richards. I recall Corey Richards made a demand to the court that she be released ahead of trial. That was denied, and at that time, a juvenile court awarded custody of all three boys to Eric's family. Now we know all three sons are living with a member of Eric's family. They are only permitted to talk to their mother, Corey Richards, twice a week through video calls. The boys are in a loving home with a lot of love surrounding them. How will they ever get past facts

[Nancy Grace]

like this back to that orange notebook? Prosecutors say the first five pages contain details about the timeline, Moscow mule mom's movements, and what Eric Richards consumed before he died, among other critical information. These details, when compared to other evidence in the case, they say, make it more probable Corey Richards poisoned Eric Richards with fentanyl. Prosecutors say, quote, nobody forced or coerced the defendant to write the orange notebook. The defendant holds a master's degree. She she journaled, risking the likelihood detectives would find it and recognize it for what it is Elaine Otavias joining us, senior investigative crime reporter with the Messenger. Elaine, again, thank you for being with us. You know, it's. The COVID up is, is deadly in this case. Deleting text messages. You know what, my phone can barely work. I've got so many emails and text messages on it. I never think to delete anything. I mean, there are messages there for 20, 15 and 16. Yes. So the fact that you suddenly have the urge to delete a bunch of texts and emails, which of course anybody can get from the cloud. But that said, explain to me Elaine Otavias. She said her phone was in a different room, that that night of all night she went and slept with her boys while her husband died, killed over in the other room. But yet when authorities searched, they found out the phone was actually in use the entire time and that those particular texts had been deleted. Do I have that right? Could you explain that, please, Elaine?

[Elaine Otavias]

Yes, I think, you know, a lot of times, especially, you know, with all the shows we see and all these previous cases we see, you know, before, you know, they tried to do, they tried to take care of everything, you know, they, they have Googled, you know, how do I clean up this or whatever. And somehow they always forget about the phone. The phone has the ability to be tracked because everyone has like, find my phone or, you know, the cell towers, they can see movement. They can, you know, when, when investigators, they have forensic investigators when they subpoena your phone and they start going through it, they can see when it turned on, when it moved, all of these things. We know that the phone was in use, which puts a crack in her

[Nancy Grace]

story, a big crack. Because if you got your phone, you can call 911 immediately. And does that mean she wasn't really even in the children's room when she's right there watching the husband die. Donna Kelly joined me, former Utah senior deputy district attorney. This jurisdiction, Donna Kelly, the deleting, the texts and the emails, the phone movements, it reminds me significantly of the Alex Murdock double murder prosecution where he was charged in the murder of his wife Maggie and son Paul. The forensic evidence showed that he was at the dog kennels where his wife and son were murdered, riddled with bullets because of his cell phone and because of another cell phone video, it placed him there. The phone then followed him to his vehicle. The phone traveled with him and his wife Maggie's phone. Then her phone is thrown out of the car, linked with the navigation system in his vehicle. I believe it was a suburban. It Shows every move he made, from letting the windows up and down to the speed, to the ignition turned, you name it. Technology is a very powerful tool in the prosecutor's arsenal. Donna Kelly.

[Donna Kelly]

Absolutely. And the reason that juries love this kind of evidence is it's very objective. It doesn't have a bias, it doesn't have an agenda.

[Dr. William Maroney]

It's just there.

[Donna Kelly]

And so that evidence is very powerful to a jury. And it also shows the conscious of guilt that the person has, for example, in deleting messages, you know, immediately, that sort of thing. So it can show, you know, the movement and the messages that went in and out, but it can also show consciousness of your own guilt.

[Nancy Grace]

Mm, you're right. So the state will then begin looking at other circumstantial evidence, evidence, contemporaneous evidence, around the time of the death. Take a listen to this.

[Crime Online Reporter]

After Eric Richen's death, Corey Richards hired a locksmith to open Eric's safe. Between 125,000 and $165,000 was reportedly inside. When Eric Rich and sister told her sister in law she didn't have the rights to those funds, Corey Richards punched her. Eric Richards had also opened a living trust and placed the trust as his life insurance beneficiary instead of Corey. We now know Corey had purchased at least four life insurance policies on Eric Richards with death benefits of over a million dollars.

[Nancy Grace]

Okay, Dr. Bethany Marshall, renowned psychoanalys joining us out of Beverly Hills. I tell you one thing. If my husband, David lynch, goes out and takes four life insurance policies out on me, no, we're splitting up at that moment and I'm taking the twins, period. He can have everything else except those twins for life insurance policies. What?

[Dr. Bethany Marshall]

You know, Nancy, when I, when I listen to this story, I. So I think of Corey Richards as suffering what I affectionately term the Casey Anthony syndrome. Every lie, every maneuver, every motive is so flagrantly transparent. And from a mental health perspective, she's probably suffering from what we call cluster B. Cluster B is when you have sociopathy.

[Nancy Grace]

Are you saying cluster?

[Dr. Bethany Marshall]

Cluster, Cluster, like a cluster bomb. Okay, so when you have sociopathy, borderline personality disorder and potentially bipolar.

[Nancy Grace]

I don't even know what you're saying.

[Dr. Bethany Marshall]

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

[Nancy Grace]

She's greedy, she wants money. What are you talking about? Cluster what?

[Dr. Bethany Marshall]

Okay, so. So sociopathy, they lie, they con, they manipulate, they have parasitic lifestyle. So there you have the money, motive, Borderline personality disorder. There's clinging and rejecting behavior. They can plot and plan forever. Bipolar. Where, where they get in such a certain type of mood where they feel no guilt or consciousness or remorse. So she has all these things swirling around and that's why the story crazier and crazier. And like Casey Anthony, everyone from the outside looking in can say, that's a lie, that's a lie, that's a lie, that's a lie. How can she not know that we know she's lying? And that's what happens with these kinds of personalities. They don't see in themselves what we see in them. And that's why the family went over to check, check the safe. That's why they caught her, is that they had been observing this for a long, long time.

[Nancy Grace]

Well, there's more to the money motive. And I can't wait for Dr. Maroney to jump in on how many dead bodies he's autopsied that are dead because of money motive. Listen to this.

[Crime Online Reporter]

Investigators say Eric Richards was looking into a divorce. He had recently changed his will and life insurance from his wife to his sister. Two friends told detectives that Eric Richards was worried Corey would kill him for the money and wanted to ensure that his kids were taken care of financially. Even as Corey Richards was promoting her children's book about grief on local television, investigators were looking into the couple's troubled past.

[Nancy Grace]

I've watched that interview a million times and never once did this woman shed a tear. Dr. William Maroney, renowned medical examiner. The love of money, the root of all evil. What do you think about that, Maroney?

[Dr. William Maroney]

It's really a good reason. It's at the top of the list. Money is, it's, it's like worse than love and infidelity because you can just enjoy it all by yourself. It's, it's sinful and it's in every culture and it's in every country. And whether it's male or female, it's always about the money. And what I'm really worried about, somebody this reckless, people will reproduce this. And what happens? Fentanyl is so dangerous, she could have accidentally killed her children.

[Nancy Grace]

You're right. The three little boys in the same home. What if one of them had taken a sip of that Moscow mule?

[Dr. William Maroney]

Even if they would have touched fentanyl on the counter or there was fentanyl dust and something like that is just to poison somebody with fentanyl when there's small children in the room. That's insane.

[Nancy Grace]

Fentanyl dust. Remember Maroney? Dr. Maroney, we just covered the case of a little one year old boy who died in a daycare from fentanyl in New York. Dust and other key rulings in the past days. This is not the first time, according to LA law enforcement, that Corey Richards tried to murder her husband. Listen to in the investigative reporting team at Crime stories.

[Crime Online Reporter]

Valentine's Day, 2022, Eric Richards becomes violently ill after suffering an allergic reaction after having dinner with his wife of nine years, Corrie. He breaks out in hives, can't breathe, passes out after using his son's EpiPen and taking Benadryl. When Eric wakes up, he calls his business partner, Cody Wright, to let him know what has just happened. Then, without Corey knowing, Eric changes the beneficiary of his will and his power of attorney, replacing his wife, Corey, with his sister. Legal paperwork suggests that Eric believes Corey might kill him for the money, and he wants his children to be financially secure.

[Nancy Grace]

Kind of remember reminds me of cult mom Lori Valo. Her husband was afraid that she would kill him, so he changed a lot of his financial setup away from her. And she killed him anyway, had him killed anyway, not knowing that she was no longer his beneficiary. That said, this reminds me of another incredible case. And you know I couldn't make this up. Do you remember the name Dalia Dippolito? Reportedly a former escort who marries the victim. She sets up a hit. She sets up a shooting hit to kill him and get money and a townhome. But of course, she sets it up with an undercover agent, and he's got it all on tape, planning to kill her husband, Dahlia Dippolito. So apparently she tried to kill him before in a poison Starbucks latte of some sort of. Didn't work. So she tries again. According to him, he lives. The undercover agent stops the hit, but they pretend to her this is a sting, that they're coming to tell her her husband has been attacked and he's dead. Now, Meryl Streep, I love you, lady, but move over because Dahlia DiPolito may beat you out for your next Oscar. Listen to Dahlia Dipolito reacting to niece. Her husband is dead.

[Sergeant Ramsey]

I'm Sergeant Ramsey. I'm the one that called you. Thank you for coming. I'm sorry to call you. Listen, we had a report of a disturbance at your house, and there were shots fired. Is your husband Michael okay? I'm sorry to tell you, ma', am, he's been killed. He's been killed, man.

[Nancy Grace]

No, try to calm down right now.

[Sergeant Ramsey]

We need to get this safe. We need to get you to our police station. I can't let you in, man. We have to do our job. If you want to find his killer? Okay, we need you to calm down. I'm going to need you to go with these detectives, okay? Does he have enemies? Is there anyone that would want to hurt him? Okay, who would want to hurt him? Witnesses said they saw a black male running from. I can't let you see him, ma'.

[Elaine Otavias]

Am.

[Sergeant Ramsey]

I cannot do this right now. I can't do it. Detective Yoke, I need you. I need you to take her to the station. I can't go with these detectives. If you want to help your husband. Okay, if you want to help your husband, you need to go to the station with these gentlemen and tell us everything you know about who he knows, who he's connected to. Don't worry. We've already taken care of dogs with animal control. For right now, everything's under control.

[Nancy Grace]

There's more, but I. I just listen to that all day. Did. Did you hear that, Donna? Kelly? That was Dahlia DiPolito. When she's told her husband's dead, he's not dead. Later, at the police station, they're questioning her, and he walks by because. Hi. You tried to kill me. But in this case, now we're getting this very long letter where obviously, Corey Richards, Moscow mule mom, is trying to convince her family to lie about her husband traveling to Mexico to get these drugs.

[Donna Kelly]

Yes. That compounding the actual letter is also the evidence that she's trying to manufacture excuses for writing it. She says at first it was written for her lawyer's benefit, so it's privileged. Well, that's obviously a lie, because right in the letter, she refers to her lawyer by name. You know, tell my brother to go talk to the name of her lawyer. So obviously, it's not written for the lawyer. But also then, now she had to concoct a new lie because that one didn't fly. So you have not only the letter with the instructions of how to lie, but you have her excuses for writing it, which compounds again, shows her consciousness

[Nancy Grace]

of her own guilt while she's having some type of a seizure. Guards, search her cell. Find a copy of a bombshell letter instructing her own mother to fuel conspiracy theories that her dead husband had a

[Crime Stories Reporter]

drug problem and overdosed.

[Nancy Grace]

He was at work every day, working, trying to pay for that mega mansion they were living in. In the letter, she reportedly asked her, the mother, to get her brother to concoct a story. The husband, a year before his death, secretly told the brother he would get pain pills and fentanyl from a ranch hand in Mexico. She wrote that she Would also say her husband asked the caterer, an alleged drug dealer, to hook him up with more, when actually that housekeeper caterer says that she, Corey Richards, is the one wanting the money. So this is an incredible development in the case. And oh, by the way, I don't know if you guys knew this, but Justin Boardman in the Dahlia Dippolito case, she then claimed something similar to what Moscow Mule mom is saying. She claimed that was a script. It was all a setup. They were all acting for a reality show. The way Corey Richards is saying, oh, that letter telling everybody what to say about my husband being a dope head. That was part of a manuscript. That's the ticket. A manuscript of a book I was writing. It's not going to work.

[Dr. William Maroney]

No, that. That is a lot of drama, if you will. It also reminds me of a case that was investigated a couple cubicles over from my own, and that was the Susan and Josh Powell case where Susan had put a letter in her work file at that if she disappeared or died, that Josh probably did it. It's very interesting to me to see these sort of people get these intuitions that they might get offed by their significant other like he did as well.

[Nancy Grace]

He really did. And you can read the entire [e-mail] but it goes on to say, if you could read it, it says, I need Eric. Eric told Romney he gets painkillers from Mexico. You may have to testify to this. Romney should have gotten texts from Eric talking about getting high. I mean, it goes on and on describing what would help her if they said it on the stand.

[Dr. Bethany Marshall]

Nancy, can I jump in?

[Nancy Grace]

Yes, please jump in.

[Dr. Bethany Marshall]

Well, you know, not only is she witnessed tampering, but this is one more example of criminals embroiling their families in their crimes. They don't just take themselves down, they take everyone else down around them.

[Nancy Grace]

I mean, if you read. Goes on to talk about how you may have to testify to this, maybe something like he gets high every night and won't help take care of the kids. It just goes on and on and on.

[Dr. Bethany Marshall]

Remember Casey Anthony accused her brother and her father of molesting her. And you know, all these things, there's this thoughtless attitude, there's this callous disregard for family members so the family members are used just as much as she used her husband. She used the press, she used her own children without any thought to the consequences.

[Crime Stories Reporter]

All three of them, Corey Richards boys living with family of husband Eric Richards, their biological father they reportedly idolized. It amazes me that he was either a coach, the coach or an assistant coach on all the teams for all three boys. I know we went to every single soccer game, basketball game, football game that our twins were involved with starting at age four and it's still going. They're in high school now. My daughter was football manager and my son is still playing soccer. They're in playoffs right now. It's a lot. It's a big time commitment. But you know what? A loving parent wants to be there. It's not a burden. I wouldn't miss it for anything. And to think he was the coach or assistant coach for every team all three boys played on. I dread the day they read what really happened on the Internet. And they will. They will. At this hour, Corey Richards is plotting and scheming and planning an appeal to be released. What will that do to her three boys? We wait as justice unfolds. Nancy Grace Crime Story signing off.
