Eric Richins knew something was wrong. In the fall of 2020, he discovered that his wife had been draining his finances — taking out unauthorized credit lines, accumulating debt in his name, and running a house-flipping business that was hemorrhaging money behind his back. He consulted a divorce attorney. He met with an estate planner. He created a trust to protect his three sons. And he did all of it in silence, because the man she married no longer trusted her with his family’s future. In part one of our definitive series on the Kouri Richins case, we reveal the financial architecture that led to murder — a prenuptial agreement that made death more profitable than divorce, $7.5 million in collapsing debt, and a woman whose ambition outpaced her ability by a factor that a forensic accountant described as “imploding.” Kouri Richins wasn’t just unhappy in her marriage. She was trapped in a financial disaster of her own making with exactly one way out. This is the foundation of a five-part story that will redefine how you understand this case.

Everything the prosecution plans to present against David Anthony Burke — laid out in a nine-page filing made public over the defense's objection.

The People's Brief describes what prosecutors call a premeditated cover-up: staged texts to a dead girl's phone, purchases under the fake name "Victoria Mendez," three trips to a disposal site, and forensic evidence tying an inflatable pool to Celeste Rivas Hernandez's remains.

It describes years of alleged exploitation — a child met at eleven, a sexual relationship at thirteen, international travel at fourteen, and a thousand dollars paid to a classmate to maintain contact after Celeste's parents took her phone.

And it reveals a defense in retreat. Blair Berk demanded a fast hearing. The discovery started arriving — wiretap results, forty terabytes, fifty-four search warrants. The defense asked for a delay. They tried to seal the brief. Both requests denied.

Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski for a three-part breakdown of the prosecution's blueprint, the grooming timeline, and what the defense reversal tells us heading into the May 26 preliminary hearing.

There’s a reason this story never goes away. Every few years, a new accuser surfaces, a new lawsuit is filed, a new settlement is paid — and the conversation resets to the same two positions: he did it, or they’re lying. Neither position accounts for the full evidence. Both positions protect someone’s bottom line. And the rest of us are left trying to figure out how to feel about a catalog of music that’s woven into the fabric of our lives.

This is True Crime Today, and I’m starting a five-part deep dive into the accusations against Michael Jackson. Every case. Every accuser. Every settlement. Every reversal. Every piece of evidence that’s been verified and every claim that’s been debunked. The biopic just opened to record-breaking numbers. A family that defended Jackson for decades just accused him of assaulting all of their children. A major civil trial is on the calendar. The timing has never been more relevant.

What makes this series different is the editorial approach. I’m not telling you what to believe. I’m presenting what’s been proven, what’s been disproven, and what remains genuinely unresolved — and trusting you to decide for yourself. Because you deserve to hear this case the way a jury would: with all the evidence, not just the version that makes someone money.
