Who Was Investigating Kouri Richins Before Law Enforcement Even Got There?
from The Case Against Kouri Richins · host Hidden Killers Podcast
Eric Richins' family made a phone call that changed this case. Todd Gabler had spent 34 years as a private investigator — every single case for the defense. He'd never crossed to the other side. The family hired him on a civil matter. What he found in the phone records made it impossible to stay there.Kouri Richins was in constant contact with a housekeeper who had a criminal record and was failing drug tests in court — in the months before and after Eric died. Law enforcement hadn't pulled those records yet. Gabler flagged it and kept going. Nearly 50 interviews. Multiple vehicles tracked. A body of evidence that would eventually help crack open a criminal investigation that had stalled. This is the first time the man who was inside this case before anyone was charged has told the story from the beginning — the call, the records, the moment it became clear what direction the evidence was pointing.That investigation led to a conviction. What came after the conviction is why this story isn't over. Before she was even sentenced, Kouri wrote a message that ended up in the prosecution's filing. She promised to expose everyone connected to the case. She said, "They picked the wrong one." She said, "They haven't seen anything yet." She allegedly wrote a letter from jail telling her brother to testify falsely. She's accused of witness intimidation. Her own thirteen-year-old told the court he's afraid she'll come for him.Eric Faddis walks through what someone serving life without parole can still do from inside — mail, phone calls, proxies, people on the outside who believe she's innocent. He explains the legal tools available to wall her off and where the gaps still are. Kouri Richins is locked up forever. Her thirteen-year-old is still afraid. That gap between the sentence and the safety is the whole story.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
