1. Kouri (Corey) Richards Trial: Shocking Secret Texts & Digital Evidence

Segment Start: [04:42]

Case Background

• Corey Richards, a Utah mom, is on trial for allegedly poisoning her husband, Eric, with a lethal dose of fentanyl in his Moscow mule.
• Afterwards, she authored a children's book on grief, supposedly to help her kids cope.
• Motive centers on a $2 million life insurance payout and estate inheritance, though Eric had moved assets to his sister due to suspicions about Corey.

Key Developments

• The trial’s focus has shifted from finances and drugs toward Corey’s intimate relationships and digital footprint.
• Testimony from Corey’s alleged boyfriend, Robert Josh Grossman, revealed their affair began before Eric’s death.

Notable Texts Exposed

• Corey texted Robert:
  • “If I was divorced right now and asked you to marry me tomorrow, would you?”
  • Robert replied: “Yes, in love with you, of course I would.”
• Another Corey text:
  • “If he could just go away and you could just be here, life would be so perfect.”
• Robert became emotional on the stand as these messages were read.
  • Annie: "Robert actually started crying on the stand while those messages were being read aloud, which, you know, I'm not trying to be heartless... but also it's like you are having an affair with a married woman. Like, what do you expect?" [06:53]

Post-Murder Behavior

• Weeks after Eric’s death, Corey asked Robert if he’d ever killed someone and what it felt like (Robert is an Iraq war veteran).
• Annie speculates on whether this was Corey subconsciously “telling on herself.” [09:28]

Digital Evidence

• A digital forensics expert testified that, while Eric’s phone had no mass deletions, Corey’s showed hundreds of deleted texts, calls, and web searches—all prior to Eric’s death.
• Corey’s deleted searches included:
  • Whether police can recover deleted messages
  • How long life insurance payouts take
  • How to remotely delete iCloud information
  • How much fentanyl is a lethal dose
  • Whether police can force someone to take a polygraph
• She also purchased a second phone, also containing deletions.

Key Quote:
Annie (Devil's Advocate):
“I could picture a world—not prior, obviously, to my husband's death—but if Jeremiah died, and if it was an overdose... I could see myself Googling, like, what is the lethal dose... But they're damning [these searches], but it's not like Brian Walsh of ‘How to Dismember a Body.’” [12:57]

Defense Response

• Corey's defense argued that phone data doesn’t prove intent, and others may have accessed her device.

Jury Perception & Hosts' Takeaways

• Annie and Amy agree the mounting circumstantial evidence—digital trails, witness tampering, secret texts—is bad for Corey.
• Discussion of Corey allegedly punching Eric’s sister when she learned she wouldn't be inheriting assets.
• Reference to a “walk the dog” letter from jail supposedly directing witness testimony.
• Annie: “Just trying to orchestrate everything from behind bars. So it’s like, you’re obviously lying. You’re guilty. Innocent until proven, but you are guilty in my mind.” [14:59]

Prediction:

• Both hosts suspect a likely conviction.
  • Annie: "My prediction here. Guilty on all charges. We heard it here. Yeah, you heard it here first." [15:26]

2. Triple Murder: Random Stranger’s Killing Spree in Utah

Segment Start: [16:19]

The Crimes

• Ivan Miller, 22, of Iowa, killed three women in Wayne County, Utah, during a cross-country trip gone awry.
• Sequence:
  • Fled after vehicle trouble—sold his truck after hitting an elk.
  • Slept in a shed on 86-year-old Margaret Oldroyd’s property, killed her, hid the body, and stole her car.
  • Abandoned the car, encountered Linda Dewey (65) and her niece Natalie Graves (34) out hiking—killed both, hid bodies, and took their Subaru.

Police Work & Aftermath

• Ivan was apprehended in Colorado, driving the second stolen car.
• He allegedly confessed:
  • “It had to be done because he needed money and a vehicle to get back to Iowa.”
• Noted Ivan had prior burglary arrest weeks before but was released without bond.
• Utah prosecutors will seek the death penalty if he’s extradited and convicted.

Personal Impact

• Victims described as loving, community-minded people.
• Hosts:
  • Annie questions the logic of Ivan’s actions and criticizes prior release: “He burglarized the cabin three weeks earlier... he shouldn't have been released without bond. Like, he should still be there and this would never have happened.” [20:42]
  • Amy: “To so cavalierly murder three people in one day just feels like a psychopath.” [21:17]

3. Cleveland Suitcase Murders: Two Sisters Killed

Segment Start: [24:21]

The Discovery

• March 2: Man walking his dog in South Collinwood, Cleveland, found a partially buried suitcase; inside was a human head.
• Police found a second suitcase nearby—together contained the remains of two girls, ages 8 and 10.

Victims & Immediate Impact

• Identified as half-sisters Amor Wilson (10) and Mila Chapman (8).
• Their mother, Aaliyah Henderson, was arrested days later.
• At her home, a third child was found alive and removed to state custody.

Family Heartbreak

• Mila’s father, DeSean, had been trying to find and gain custody of Mila for years but could not locate her due to frequent moves.
• Quote:
  • “I feel useless. I couldn’t save my baby.”

Legal Status

• Henderson charged with two counts of aggravated murder; bond set at $2 million.
• Cause of death and timeline remain under investigation due to decomposition.
• Community in shock; memorials growing at the scene.

Hosts’ Reflections

• Annie: “Let that just sink in for a second. You’re out on a walk... you find a freaking human head... then they find another suitcase and find the bodies of these girls. It’s absolutely devastating.” [24:21]
• Amy: “It’s unimaginable. It takes a real monster to do something like that.” [31:25]
• Strong reactions to the father's futile attempts to save Mila and the trauma for the neighbor who found the remains.

4. Florida College Student: Infanticide & On-Stage Performance

Segment Start: [32:05]

The Incident

• Anne May D. McGill, 20, of Flagler County, Florida, secretly gave birth at home.

• Amy: “It's so awful.” [36:28]
• Annie: “It really is. That was a rough one today...” [36:29]

5. Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On the psychic damage of covering these cases:
  • Annie: “These young girls... they're just like having these babies and I don't know if they truly didn't know they were pregnant or which I don't believe, or they just think they can get away with it…” [35:20]
• On the horror of discovery:
  • Annie: “I don't think I would ever open an abandoned suitcase. I've seen too many...” [31:53]
• Closing advice:
  • Annie: “Be nice, don't kill people, don't poison your husband or have any affairs. And don't open any suitcases you find.” [37:10]
