## Resource

Before the arrest. Before the trial. Before the conviction. Before the life sentence. There was one man pulling the threads that law enforcement hadn't found — and he wasn't a cop. Todd Gabler was a career defense investigator brought in for a civil matter. What he uncovered over the next year — through phone records, GPS tracking, nearly 50 interviews, and a days-long search of the Richins home — became the evidentiary backbone of the prosecution's case against Kouri Richins. He identified the connection between Kouri and the woman prosecutors say sourced the fentanyl. He fed evidence to a stalled Sheriff's Office. He documented everything with body cameras and turned over two hard drives to the county attorney. And when the defense came at him on cross-examination, he didn't budge. In this complete interview, Gabler takes Tony Brueski through every phase of the investigation — what he thought going in, what the evidence showed him, what the police missed, what the family endured, and what the case did to a man who'd never sat on the prosecution's side of a courtroom until this one put him there.
