True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews

Kouri Richins has been convicted of aggravated murder. Tony Brueski, defense attorney Bob Motta, and retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke cover the full arc of the case — what the prosecution built across three weeks of testimony, how the defense fought without calling a single witness, and what legal arguments exist now that the verdict is in.
Bob Motta breaks down the prosecution's circumstantial case — the financial motive, the dead man's warning, the forged insurance signature, and the contested drug chain that ran through immunity witness Carmen Lauber. He examines the defense strategy call by call and the appellate record the defense built in real time throughout the trial. Robin Dreeke examines the behavioral picture of this case — how it was constructed by prosecutors and how it ultimately landed with the jury that just found Kouri Richins guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
All individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Gloria Satterfield worked for the Murdaughs for twenty years. After she died, Alex promised to take care of her sons.
He stole four million dollars from them instead.
Part 3 of "The Name" explores the system of silence that enabled Alex Murdaugh for decades. The lawyer who helped structure the fake settlement. The insurance company that paid out without questions. The community that extended the benefit of the doubt.
This isn't about conspiracy. It's about complicity. How systems protect the wrong people. How good people stay silent because speaking up costs too much.
If you've ever been part of an institution that looked the other way — you'll recognize these patterns.
That's what silence costs.

Kouri Richins has been convicted of aggravated murder. The legal fight doesn't end with a verdict. Tony Brueski, defense attorney Bob Motta, and retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke examine the appellate record built during this trial and what arguments have real traction.
The video of investigators directing Carmen Lauber toward conviction — admitted at trial, seen by the jury, and now potentially central to a due process argument. The hearsay ruling that blocked testimony about Eric allegedly asking someone about obtaining fentanyl — and the complication that the defense walked away from it themselves. The denied spoliation instruction over the missing pill bottle. The Lauber informant instruction language. Bob Motta breaks down which arguments a higher court would take seriously and which ones sound stronger than they are. All individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Retired Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland has been missing since February 27, 2026. The Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office is leading the investigation with FBI support. Authorities have confirmed no evidence of foul play while stating all possible scenarios remain active. After three weeks, more than 700 homes canvassed, and extensive search operations across Albuquerque's Sandia foothills, there is no confirmed sighting and no publicly identified direction of travel.
The documented facts of McCasland's disappearance carry specific legal and procedural weight. A Silver Alert was issued under New Mexico statute, which requires demonstration of irreversible deterioration of intellectual faculties — a threshold his wife has publicly disputed. Authorities cited an unspecified medical issue as a basis for urgency. Missing from his residence: a .38-caliber revolver with leather holster, his wallet, and hiking boots. Remaining at the residence: his cell phone, prescription glasses, and wearable devices. He is believed to have left on foot.
McCasland's career included command of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base — a facility with documented involvement in sensitive aerospace and classified defense research programs — and the Phillips Research Site at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque. The FBI's involvement has not been explained beyond McCasland's background in classified programs. A 2016 WikiLeaks document places McCasland's name in email correspondence between Tom DeLonge and presidential campaign chairman John Podesta in the context of UAP-related discussions. McCasland never publicly confirmed or denied the connection.
His disappearance occurred days after the Trump administration announced a directive to release government records on unidentified aerial phenomena. The procedural and investigative record of this case — what has been confirmed, what remains contested, and what law enforcement has declined to address publicly — is the focus of this episode.

In the Kouri Richins murder trial, the defense has worked to portray Eric Richins as a financially controlling husband who left his wife feeling trapped and overlooked. Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
But the documented financial record tells a different story — and this episode is a commentary and opinion breakdown of what that record actually contains.
According to forensic accountant testimony at trial, Kouri's real estate business was approximately $7.5 million in debt at the time of Eric's death, generating far less revenue than its monthly obligations. According to prosecutors and charging documents, she secretly used Eric's power of attorney to take out a $250,000 loan against his premarital home, falsified his business financial documents to secure fraudulent loans, and allegedly took $45,000 from a close personal friend for a deal that never materialized — leaving that friend evicted.
Eric Richins' documented response to discovering his wife's alleged financial conduct was not to tighten financial control. He consulted an estate attorney, cited "recently discovered and ongoing abuse and misuse of finances," and restructured his estate to protect his children — without telling Kouri.
In this episode, the argument is that the "controlling husband" framing is not supported by the evidence — and that the pattern on the record reflects something else entirely. All commentary is opinion. All individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
