In March 2022, Kouri and Eric Richins were apparently celebrating the purchase of a new multi-million dollar home.  Kouri made her husband a Moscow Mule and took it to him in bed, as part of the celebrations.  Kouri went to bed and when she woke, she found Eric cold and dead in their bed. After he died, Kouri wrote a children’s book regarding grief titled ‘Are you with me?’  Police eventually determined that Eric died from a fentanyl overdose.   Following a police investigation, police determined that Kouri allegedly purchased the fentanyl on the black market, days before Eric died.  She had also taken out numerous life insurance policies on her husband.  Eric had learned of some of the life insurance changes before his death, and he wrote Kouri out of his will.  When she found this out, she assaulted a family member of Eric’s. In May 2023, Kouri was arrested and charged one first degree felony count of aggravated murder, as well as three second degree felony counts of possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance. There has been a huge update in the case of missing person Beau Mann.  We first covered Beau’s case in February 2022.  In April 2023, Beau’s remains were found in the yard of an abandoned building in Santa Monica, just 0.2 miles from where he was dropped off in an Uber.   In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the cases of Wicked Wife, Kouri Richins and the recovery of Beau Mann. ** If you’d like to skip straight to the crime content, please goto (8:12) ** Read our blog for Eric’s case - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2023/05/22/wicked-wives-kouri-richins/ Read our blog for Beau Mann - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2023/05/08/beau-mann-found-deceased-in-a-yard-in-los-angeles/ This episode is sponsored by: MasterClass – With MasterClass, you can learn from the world’s best minds – anytime, anywhere, and at your own pace.  Visit MasterClass.com/tcs to get 15% off an annual membership.

In April 2023, we bought you the story of Gannon Stauch, who was 11 years old when he was murdered by his stepmother Letecia ‘Tee’ Stauch in 2020. Gannon’s case finally went to trial, starting in late March of this year.  During this time, we learned all about Tee’s ‘multiple personalities’ and about her jail cell conversations with vampires.  Thankfully, the jury saw through her lies and found Tee guilty on all counts.  She has been sentenced to two life sentences without parole.   In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the Gannon Stauch murder trial and outcome. Justice for Gannon has finally been served!

SKIP THE PRE-EPISODE CHAT & CASE UPDATES: Timestamp - (12:36) On January 29, 2022, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe went out for a night of drinking with his girlfriend Karen Read.  After midnight, they decided to leave the bars and head to an after-party at a friend’s home.   What happened next is unclear.  We know that both John and Karen were likely intoxicated.  Karen eventually told police that she felt unwell so she dropped John off and headed home.  She woke up at around 5am and realized that John had not returned home.  She started retracing her steps and she went back to the house where the after-party was held.  There she found John’s cold and lifeless body in the snow.   This case is very convoluted.  Karen was charged with manslaughter following John’s death – her SUV had apparent damage to the back and it was insinuated that she hit him while driving intoxicated.  In the past few weeks though, Karen’s attorneys have filed documents that indicate there may have been a cover up by John’s colleagues, other members of law enforcement.  It is claimed that John was likely beaten to death at the after-party and that he may have been attacked by a dog on the premises.  An attendee at the after-party also googled ‘how long to die in the cold’ at around 2.30am on the morning that John died.   In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the death of John O’Keefe – was he killed by his girlfriend or is there a cover-up involving law enforcement?   You can read our blog for this case - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2023/05/07/what-happened-to-john-okeefe/   If you’d like to skip straight to the crime content, please goto (7:03) for updates on Madeline Kingsbury, Casey and Vicky White.

On March 31, 2023, Madeline Kingsbury took her two young children to daycare.  She returned home, to seemingly get ready for work day.  She has never been seen again. Adam Fravel, the father of Madeline’s children, was the last person to see her alive.  He told police he left the house for a few hours in Madeline’s van, and when he got back, Madeline was nowhere to be seen. Police have asked locals in Winona, Minnesota to be on the lookout for any evidence on their properties.  They have also asked anyone to check CCTV for footage of Madeline’s vehicle on the day she vanished.  Police have said they do not believe Madeline left her home in another vehicle or on foot.   Madeline has now been missing for over one month.  In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we tell Madeline's story.  You can read our blog for Madeline here - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2023/04/30/missing-madeline-kingsbury/  If you’d like to skip straight to the crime content, please goto (8:45).

Elizabeth Smart was 14 years old in June 2002. She was asleep in a bedroom with her younger sister when her life would change forever.

The murder of Gannon Stauch was a case that bought the True Crime Society community together. We know many of you found us through this case originally.  The trial in this case has just started and we wanted to run through Gannon’s story again, while we wait for justice. Gannon was 11 in January 2020 when he went missing from Colorado Springs, Colorado.  His step-mother Letecia Stauch originally said that Gannon had gone to a friend’s home.  But she couldn’t name the friend, or in fact, any of Gannon’s friends. What actually happened to Gannon is horrendous. We know now that Letecia likely shot Gannon while he was in his bed. She wrapped his body in his bed sheets and stuffed his small body in a suitcase.  She lied to everyone – her husband, friends, police and the media – before fleeing Colorado with her daughter Harley.  It is believed she threw Gannon’s remains from a bridge in Florida and his body was found in March 2020. Letecia has been in prison since 2020 and her trial is finally underway.  In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we tell Gannon’s story and run through Letecia’s antics leading up to the trial.    TIME STAMPS Cleo Smith Update - (10:18) Gannon Stauch - (16:41) Read our blog for this case - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2023/03/20/gannon-stauch-murder-trial-daily-updates/ There has also been an update in the Cleo Smith abduction case and we discuss that in this episode.  This episode is sponsored by: ettitude - Imagine sleeping at your favorite hotel every night!  That's exactly what slipping into ettitude's sheets feels like.  Visit ettitude.com/tcs for $25 off your bedding order.

Dentist Dr James Craig and his wife Angela seemed to be living the dream with their six children in Aurora, Colorado.  James seemed to be well-liked, and by all accounts was a great employer.  There are photos of him online dressed up as the Tooth Fairy, always smiling broadly.  Angela had James down in her phone as ‘The Boy’.  The couple worked out together and appeared close.   Life is not always what it appears on the surface.  James was conducting an affair with an Orthodontist in Texas and he needed Angela out of the way.   James made a new email account and conducted searches about what the best way to kill someone with poison was.  He ordered potassium cyanide to be delivered to his office.   He put the poison in Angela’s protein smoothies, multiple times, until she finally died in hospital in March 2023.  In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the insane case of Dr James Craig who allegedly poisoned his wife Angela to death.     If you’d like to skip straight to the story, please go to (8:26) Read our blog for this case - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2023/03/22/dr-james-craig-poisoned-his-wife-angela-to-death-with-cyanide/ Be sure to check out Obscura – A True Crime Podcast.  This podcast shines a spotlight on the darker things in life.  Listen wherever you get your podcasts!  This episode is sponsored by: Babbel - Start your new language-learning journey today with Babbel.  Visit Babbel.com/tcs for up to 55% off your subscription.
