What was he saying?

Eric had also told his family about an unusual drink he had with Corey on vacation years earlier.

The family says that's why Eric secretly removed Corey's control over his estate.

He wanted to protect his sons from a wife he no longer trusted.

And as she sat under the TV lights on Good Things Utah, Corey may have believed the heat of the investigation was fading.

She was wrong.

A year after Eric's death, a new detective was assigned to the case.

One reason, investigators eventually ruled out the possibility that Eric had accidentally overdosed.

Did you find any evidence that showed that Eric Richens had a secret drug problem?

As they were looking for a connection between Corey and the drugs that killed Eric, investigators found something curious on her phone.

These two are friends.

It seems talking about or discussing more than just cleaning houses.

Yeah, absolutely.

Detectives found evidence of 800 text messages between Corey and Carmen prior to Eric's death.

Most of the texts had been deleted.

So they start putting two and two together, that maybe Carmen's the one supplying the fentanyl?

Detectives were able to get a search warrant for Carmen's house.

They find a firearm during that search.

I can tell you from experience, when a convicted felon is in possession of a firearm, those are real consequences.

and they found something else up on a wall amongst inspirational quotes and family photos.
