Summary

A major shock just hit the Kouri Richins murder case—and it’s not coming from the defense. It’s coming from the prosecution’s own key witness, who now says he never sold fentanyl to anyone connected to Richins. That single statement might be enough to crack the entire case wide open.

In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dig into the explosive new affidavit from Robert Crozier, the alleged drug dealer the state claims supplied the fentanyl that killed Eric Richins. In newly filed court documents, Crozier swears under oath that he didn’t sell fentanyl—he sold oxycodone. And that one change blows a hole straight through the state’s carefully constructed narrative.

The defense has now filed a motion to reconsider bail and another to compel evidence disclosure, claiming the prosecution knew about this change as far back as April 2025—and said nothing. If true, this isn’t just a twist. It could be a Brady violation—a failure to turn over exculpatory evidence—which would shake the case at its core.

We break down everything: the potential legal fallout, the impact on the upcoming February 2026 trial, and whether prosecutors can still prove murder without being able to trace the weapon—fentanyl—back to the accused. And with no physical pills, no forensic link, and a recanted witness, the state may now be walking into court with a theory that’s missing its spine.

Is this the beginning of the end for the prosecution’s case against Kouri Richins? Or will the state fight back with new evidence to keep their narrative alive?

This one changes everything.

This is Hidden Killers with Tony Bruske. Here now, Tony Bruske.

0:07.1

There's something especially disturbing about a murder case that hinges not on DNA, not on

0:13.1

surveillance footage, not on a smoking gun, but a chain of assumptions. The state of Utah

0:19.4

versus Corey Richens has always been one of those cases from the

0:22.9

very beginning. Prosecutors told the public that Corey, a real estate agent, and mother of three,

0:27.9

Marr... unalived. Her husband, Eric Richens, by slipping a fatal dose of fentanyl into his drink.

0:41.9

But they didn't say that they had the fentanyl. They didn't say they had the pills or the

0:52.0

confession or a witness who saw the act.

0:56.1

What they had was a theory and a theory just got punched in the face by their own witness.

1:01.8

Let's start there, shall we?

1:05.8

Wait a second, Tony, this sounds different than most of the story you've talked about.

1:09.6

Yeah, it does.

1:11.5

It does because things change. People change. Things move around.

1:19.0

So it's always good to keep an open mind and roll with the punches. I don't know where I'm

1:24.5

rolling in this story yet, but let's roll together and see where we land.

1:31.1

In October 25, Corey's defense team filed two blistering motions, one to reconsider bail and another to compel.

1:36.8

What they see is exculpatory evidence the prosecution has been sitting on for months.

1:42.5

At the center of this procedural earthquake is a man named Robert Krazer,

1:49.6

who the state previously identified as the supplier of the fentanyl used in the unaliving.

1:57.2

I hate using that word, but I'd like you to see the video.

2:02.0

According to the state, Krozer sold the drugs to Corey's housekeeper,

2:07.6

Carmen Lauber, who then passed them along to Corey.
