1Damning Digital Evidence and Affair Exposed in Kouri Richens Trial
Testimony from Kouri Richens' alleged boyfriend, Robert Josh Gman, detailed their romantic relationship before her husband Eric's death. Text messages revealed Kouri asking if he would marry her if she were divorced and stating, 'If he could just go away and you could just be here, life would be so perfect.' Weeks after Eric's death, Kouri allegedly asked Robert, an Iraq war veteran, what it felt like to kill someone. Digital forensic analysis of Kouri's phone uncovered hundreds of deleted messages, calls, and web searches, including queries about recovering deleted messages, life insurance payout timelines, remotely deleting iCloud data, lethal fentanyl doses, and polygraph tests. She also purchased a second phone shortly before Eric's death, which also showed deleted items.

2Random Triple Murder in Utah by Previously Released Suspect

Later, he abandoned her car and encountered 65-year-old Linda Dwey and her 34-year-old niece Natalie Graves, shooting and stabbing them before hiding their bodies and stealing their Subaru. Miller was arrested in Colorado in the stolen vehicle.

4College Student Allegedly Drowns Newborn Before Theater Performance
In Flagler County, Florida, 20-year-old college student Anne May Dio secretly gave birth at home. According to a welfare check caller and Anne's own account to deputies, she gave birth to a live, crying baby in a toilet but allegedly left the infant there until the crying and movement stopped, leading investigators to believe the newborn drowned. She then hid the baby's body in a duffel bag in a closet before performing in a college theater production later that day. After the performance, she allegedly buried the baby in a shallow grave in her backyard. Anne May Dio was charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child.

Lessons
- Be cautious and report suspicious items like abandoned suitcases to authorities rather than opening them yourself.
- Advocate for stricter bail policies, especially for individuals with a history of violent or property crimes, to prevent potential future harm.
- If you suspect child neglect or abuse, persist in contacting Child Protective Services (CPS) and local law enforcement, documenting all communications and actions.
- Be aware of the signs of secret pregnancy or infanticide, and understand the resources available for new mothers in crisis, such as safe haven laws.
