In Part 2 of the Kouri Richins case, Christie walks us through the crime scene investigation — 11 search warrants, a 3D scan of the house, and a suspicious pill bottle that mysteriously never made it to the lab. Then things get really interesting. Meet Carmen: the housekeeper who bought drugs for Kouri on multiple occasions, with a colorful past, an immunity deal, and a bombshell detail about a very specific drug request.
How credible is Carmen’s testimony? And what does Kouri’s courtroom reaction say about whether she’s hearing the truth — or a lie?

She called 911 at 3 AM. Her husband was dead. She was already making plans.
Kouri Richins had a boyfriend, $4.5 million in debt, and a dream of running an event center — with someone who wasn't Eric. Then her husband turned up dead of a fentanyl overdose five times the lethal dose.
Christie breaks down the trial. Maryn brings the receipts. Was Kouri a witch, or just a widow?

Russ Faria is out of prison — and that's a problem for someone who'd rather the case stay closed. In this finale, Christie learns what happened next, and it's somehow worse than everything that came before. Someone crossed a line that can't be uncrossed, the walls finally started closing in, and a few people in the justice system got exactly what they deserved. There's also a surprising silver lining buried in all the wreckage.

In this episode, Maryn walks Christie through everything that happened after Russ Faria's guilty verdict in 2013 — and Christie's reaction says it all. A second trial, a surprise DVD of 132 missing photos, a life insurance policy no jury was ever allowed to hear about, and a series of increasingly suspicious stories from someone who was never even charged. If you thought the first trial was frustrating, buckle up.

In episode 4 of the Faria case, the defense finally gets their turn — and they've got a firefighter, four alibis, a Jack in the Box receipt, and a very suspicious ringtone. Christie and Maryn break down the witness parade in the Russ Faria case, where the real question isn't just what happened to Betsy — it's whether six people watching Conan the Barbarian can save a man's life. And then there's the state's closing argument, where they introduce their boldest theory yet: Russ Faria carried out a near-perfect murder — and only slipped up because of his slippers. Christie and Maryn have thoughts. Many thoughts.

In Part 3 of the Russ Faria case, Christie digs into Russ’s own words from a grueling 12-hour police interview — a suspicious string of gas station stops, bloody slippers, and a phone that went quiet for three hours. Russ says he was at game night. The detective says his alibi checks out — mostly. So why do they keep asking questions? Plus: what was Betsy’s good news, and why did Russ call the insurance company four days after her death? The state rests. But the questions are just getting started.

Maryn and Christie break down Russ Faria's haunting 911 call, then walk through the first responders and forensic experts who took the stand — including a medic who immediately called it homicide, suspicious bloody slippers with no matching footprints, and a "paw print" that may or may not be blood.
The evidence is piling up. But is it pointing at the right person?

In Part 1 of the Russ Faria case, Christie introduces Missouri v. Russ Faria — a man charged with the 2011 first-degree murder of his wife Betsy, found dead in their home in what the state says was a staged suicide. The prosecution points to brutal injuries, a contested alibi, marital turmoil, terminal cancer, and a life insurance policy. The defense says the evidence tells a different story. Christie and Maryn dig into early testimony from Betsy’s family and friends — painting a picture of a marriage, a night, and a crime scene that raises more questions than answers.

In the final episode of the Meggan Sundwall case, Maryn takes the lead as the verdict comes in — and the reaction is anything but quiet. She and Christie unpack the public response, the social media debate, and the evidence that never made it to trial. Then sentencing arrives, and Meggan speaks. Five episodes in, and this case still isn’t simple. Will this case be… Hung?

In Part 4 of the Meggan Sundwall case, Christie walks us through the defense’s last stand — a forensic psychologist dissecting Kacee’s psychology and Meggan’s motivations, and a former FBI agent taking direct aim at the investigation. Followed by closing arguments. Then Christie delivers her verdict. Four episodes in, and it all comes down to this: was it murder?
