Hey, true crime besties, welcome back to an all new episode of Serialessly with me, Annie Elise.

And today's a little bit different. We've got headline highlights every Thursday. You know that.

We do our case deep dives every Monday. But today we're going to do a little bonus-esque type episode because it's the day after Christmas. I don't know if you're with your family, if you're having some alone time, if you're running around with chaotic children, whatever it is you're doing. But I wanted to jump on and give you a little bit longer of a case.

They lived in a beautiful home in Snellville, Georgia with their three children, a 19-year-old named Doug who went by DJ, a 13-year-old named

Keith, and a seven-year-old named Kevin. Though nobody would have ever guessed it unless they

knew the shecks, that all three boys weren't biologically Richards. But again, you would never

know that because of how attentive and close he was with these boys. Now, while it was the first time being married for Richard, it was actually the fifth time being married for Stacy.

Stacey was born in 1971, and she was raised in Florida until she was three years old, and that's when her family moved to Atlanta, Georgia.

When she was pretty young, her dad died, and the loss of that

was pretty devastating for her, and it was something that she carried with her into her adult years.

Now, like I said, Richard wasn't her first go-around at marriage, not by any means. She actually

got married to her first husband, who was her high school sweetheart, when she was just 17 years old.

The two of them eloped, and they didn't have any children together, and their marriage was pretty
