This is Hidden Killers Week in review.

I look back at the most prolific stories of the week.

This is Hidden Killers with Tony Bruske.

Here now, Tony Bruske.

Corey Richens, we haven't talked about her in a little while, but it's probably time to do a little catch-up on Corey because there's a lot of new things going on, including damn near 26 new felony

charges that she is facing in relation to this case. So we'll take a little dive into this and

get us up to date. The trial, by the way, not set until next year. He was a house of cards, fraud, motive, and the financial collapse before the murder that seems to set the tone for a lot of this case.

The prosecution says this wasn't just a marriage fail falling apart.

It was a financial collapse waiting to happen, mortgage fraud, forged documents of business bleeding money.

We're going to dig into the sprawling white collar charges that prosecutors say form the motive

for the murder and whether they'd actually hold up in a courtroom.

Eric Fattis, defense attorney, former prosecutor joining us to discuss all of this.

So she's got these now new 26 felony charges, including mortgage fraud, forgery,

money laundering, issuing bad checks, communications fraud, and engaging in a pattern of

unlawful activity. None of it murder, but prosecutors say she owed $1.8 million in hard money

loans at the time of Eric's death, monthly debt servicing in around $250,000.

Not monthly. That was what she owed at that moment in time, and tried to cash in on life insurance

policies totaling $2 million. So maybe that was her ticket out. Eric, in your legal view,

how strong is the state's claim that these financial crimes were the driving

motive behind killing her husband?

Well, Johnny, anytime you have a case where a partner is accused of killing their

spouse, even though you don't have to prove motive, the jury's going to want to see it.
