Summary
The jury needed under three hours. Guilty on all counts. Aggravated murder. Attempted aggravated murder. Forgery. Insurance fraud. Judge Mrazik sentenced Kouri Richins to life in prison without parole and said a person who commits those acts "is simply too dangerous to ever be free." Behind that verdict was an investigation that started with a phone call about a civil matter and became the case that changed Todd Gabler's career. For over a year, Gabler worked independently — pulling the phone records that exposed Kouri's communication pattern with Carmen Lauber, conducting interviews law enforcement hadn't gotten to, tracking vehicles, searching the Richins home for days, and handing over evidence that helped transform a stalled case into an arrest. He did it as a career defense investigator who'd never once worked the prosecution's side — until this case made it impossible to stay neutral. In this complete three-part interview, Gabler sits with Tony Brueski and walks through every stage. How it started. What the evidence revealed. What police missed. What the defense got wrong. What the family went through. And what happens to the investigator who carries a case like this on his back for over a year.
