The evidence will prove that Corey Richens murdered Eric for his money and to get a fresh start at life.

To this day, the medical examiner, the professional that's the head of declaring how people die in the state of Utah,

has never been able to determine the manner of Eric Richens death.

The Richens family hired a private investigator, and they paid that investigator to spend

every waking minute digging up as much dirt as he possibly could.

We're just a few hours away from live testimony in the murder trial of

Corey Richens. Court ending early on Wednesday, but the state's evidence technician is expected

back on the stand for Cross. We're going to preview the day ahead. Plus, the search for Nancy

Guthrie continues this morning no suspects no persons of interest so

was this investigation botched by the Pima County Sheriff's Department we'll talk
