2026/03/23

The Kelsey Fitzsimmons bench trial, the Nancy Guthrie investigation at its seven-week mark, and the Kouri Richins conviction share one thread: in each case, the institutional record tells a different story than the public narrative — and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer makes that case, specifically.In the Fitzsimmons matter, the evidentiary question is narrow and everything: was the firearm pointed at the officer or at herself? The record surrounding that moment — a postpartum

The tire on Jared Bridegan's road didn't get there by accident. And the person who placed it didn't get there by accident either. What built that trap on February 16th, 2022 wasn't a snap decision or a moment of rage — it was the conclusion of a years-long psychological process that produced something cold, organized, and deliberate.In Part 1 of One Mile From Home, Hidden Killers host Tony Brueski examines what allegedly preceded the murder of Microsoft executive Jared Bridegan — not from the night

The verdict is in. Kouri Richins was found guilty of murdering her husband Eric with a lethal dose of fentanyl. For a case with no recovered murder weapon, a star witness whose credibility took documented damage during cross-examination, and a defense that rested without calling a single witness, the evidentiary picture that convinced this jury deserves a close examination.The record Eric left behind arguably did more work than anything prosecutors could have introduced directly.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos is facing a formal recall, a Board of Supervisors meeting called specifically to address his work history, and a nationally watched missing person case now at 47 days with no arrest. But the story most people haven't heard in full starts in El Paso, Texas in 1976 — and ends with a man sitting under oath in December 2025 denying a record the documents prove existed.Eight suspensions.

The Nancy Guthrie investigation is now contending with two simultaneous problems: a lead investigator whose sworn account of his own career has been contradicted by documented records, and a physical evidence picture whose chain of custody has been publicly questioned.The sheriff leading this case was reportedly separated from his prior law enforcement agency rather than voluntarily resigned, with a disciplinary history that includes documented excessive force, insubordination, and off-duty

2026/03/23

The Kelsey Fitzsimmons case turns on a single evidentiary question: where was the muzzle of that gun pointed? At herself or at the officer in her doorway? Every other fact in this case — the postpartum depression diagnosis, the restraining order, the 53-day hospitalization, the alleged removal of exculpatory evidence — feeds into how a judge answers that question. Because she waived her jury. That decision alone deserves scrutiny.Here's what the record shows. Fitzsimmons was on documented medical

This week in Hidden Killers' Week in Review, two of the most revealing dimensions of the Kouri Richins case get the examination they deserve — the performance Kouri allegedly constructed in the aftermath of Eric's death, and the parallel cases that document what it looks like when a victim understands exactly what is happening and still cannot survive it.After Eric Richins died, Kouri wrote a children's book about a father who becomes a firefly.
