What Did Todd Gabler Hand Over to Prosecutors That Changed the Kouri Richins Case?

Two hard drives. That's what Todd Gabler delivered to the Summit County Attorney's Office. One contained audio recordings, video footage, and photographs from over a year of independent investigation. The other held computer forensics, including a cloned copy of Eric Richins' phone. Taken together, those drives contained evidence that helped transform a stalled investigation into an arrest.

Gabler had spent that year doing what law enforcement hadn't completed — pulling billing records that exposed Kouri's communication pattern with Carmen Lauber, conducting dozens of interviews, tracking vehicles, and searching the Richins home for days after police released the scene. He documented everything with body-worn cameras. He didn't cut corners. And when the defense tried to discredit his work at trial, his documentation held up under cross-examination.

In Part 2 of this three-part interview, Gabler tells Tony what was on those hard drives, what the home search revealed, how he navigated the line between private investigation and criminal case building, and what Eric's family experienced during the months when the only person moving the case forward was someone without a badge.
