0:00.0	The Mary Widow, Cory Richards instead of planning a funeral, planning a gathering at the
0:21.1	home following her husband's funeral, instead Cory Richards throws a party at her house, a
0:28.6	party to celebrate a closing on a $2 million mansion sitting on 10 acres of land that her husband
0:36.0	opposed. But hey, he's already been dead at least to a Jackie 12, 15 hours. So it's time to
0:43.1	party down with me. We're now in PsychoAlas joining us out of Beverly Hills, Dr. Bethany Marshall.
0:50.3	Now, Dr. Bethany, that's a whole other kind of worm to talk about. But what I'm interested in is
0:56.4	the psychopathy of a person, in this case a female Cory Richards, who tries over and over and over
1:06.7	to murder her husband. We believe we know of three instances where she tried to kill her husband. I mean,
1:16.7	perseverance is normally something that you should strive for, but not in this scenario. What is that

2:11.8	that you get excited by them. You want to have sex with them. You want to take money from them.
2:16.6	You want to manipulate them. You want to be around them all the time and be the life of the party,
2:20.9	like Casey Anthony on the stripper pole, but that doesn't mean she had regard for anybody. So
2:26.9	that anti-social part has to do with lack of remorse, lack of thoughtfulness and bonding.
2:33.9	What do you make of repeated attempts to murder her husband? Eric Richens was very opposed to
2:47.2	buying a $2 million mansion and trying to flip it. He dies. She closes immediately after. She
