from Roberta Glass True Crime Report · host Roberta Glass

An old rejected filing has come to light from Kouri Richins defense team where Richins' lawyers ask for the court to appoint a lawyer for Kouri Richins’ Mom, Lisa Darden. Was Darden the mastermind in Eric Richins' murder? Why did the unexpected opiate OD death of Darden's lover Trudy Moore look so similar to Eric Richins' murder from Fentanyl? And what did the investigation into Lisa Darden’s involvement in the murder of Eric Richins turn up?
