Summary
Todd Gabler knocked on every door he could find. Over 34 years as a PI, he's conducted thousands of interviews. He talked to Eric's friends, Kouri's friends, business associates, family members — nearly 50 people in total. But when he reached out to Kouri's side of the family, every single one of them shut the door. Her mother. Her brother. Everyone connected to her. Not one conversation. That wall of silence was just the beginning. Gabler had already pulled phone billing records that showed Kouri's housekeeper — a woman with a drug-related criminal record — was among her most frequent contacts in the months Eric died. He put GPS trackers on multiple vehicles. He built a timeline the police hadn't assembled yet. And the man who'd spent his entire career defending accused people found himself constructing the case against one. In Part 1 of this three-part conversation, Gabler sits down with Tony Brueski and walks through how the investigation began — the moment a routine civil job turned into something he couldn't turn away from, and what a family's complete refusal to cooperate told him before he even asked his first real question.
