In a courtroom in Utah, Corey Richon watched her story fall apart.

Every day, another witness testified, another text message read on the record,

another piece of the life she constructed crumbled under examination.

The friend who says Corey told her, it would be better if Eric were dead or that she said that to the financial records showing the $250,000 helock.

Eric didn't know about the boyfriend she was allegedly texting while her husband

was still alive, the search history, the fentanyl. One by one, the bricks came loose. You can watch it

investigators are brilliant. They certainly weren't in this case. But because secrets require

everyone to cooperate forever.

And forever is a very long time.

This is part five of the perfect wife.
