The House at the End of Copeland Drive
On a winter afternoon in 1975, a quiet Nashville neighborhood seemed to fold inward, holding an unfathomable secret. Nine‑year‑old Marcia Trimble had gone out to deliver Girl Scout cookies, a small cardboard box in her hands, the kind of errand that should have ended with a knock on a neighbor’s door and a smile. Instead, she stepped into a real life nightmare. As daylight faded and search parties fanned out across the hills, the air grew heavy with a sense that something was terribly, unnervingly wrong.Join us for The House at the End of Copeland Drive. For thirty‑three days, Marcia’s family lived under a shadow, waiting for an answer. Parents kept their children close. Police chased whispers. And somewhere, hidden in the dark edges of a suburban backyard, the truth waited — still, cold, and unsparing. When Marcia was finally found, the neighborhood’s illusion of safety shattered. This is the story of a neighborhood that trusted too much, a child who never made it home, and a killer who moved through the city like a phantom and watched for the vulnerable.SourcesExclusive: Police To Make Arrest In Marcia Trimble Case, Investigators Find DNA Link To Jerome Barrett, Wayback Machine, Dennis Ferrier, 12/3/2007.The Murder of Marcia Trimble: A Crime That Shocked Nashville, Demetria Kalodimos, 2/23/2025.A Season of Darkness by Douglas Jones & Phyllis Gobbell Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-brewery--4126935/support.Record your voicemail at tiegrabber.com for our feedback segment or send us an email to truecrimebrewery@tiegrabber.comWe love receiving your feedback and most of our case choices come from listener suggestions!

The Final Chapter: The Night Eric Richins Died
Eric Richins died on a cold March night in his Utah home. Hours earlier, according to his wife Kouri, he had been sleeping peacefully. By morning, Eric was gone. What first appeared to be a sudden, tragic death soon revealed deeper fractures—financial strain, quiet resentment, and a marriage carrying more weight than anyone on the outside had realized. In the aftermath, a family was left reeling, and a community began to confront the unsettling possibility that this wasn’t a natural death at all, but the end of a far darker story.This is The Final Chapter: The Night Eric Richins Died. As investigators pressed forward, the secrets multiplied. Hidden life‑insurance policies. Mounting financial battles. A children’s book about grief—written by the woman now accused of causing the very loss she claimed to help others navigate. And then came the discovery of her alleged lover, a relationship that added another layer to a motive already steeped in money and betrayal. This episode steps into the shadows: the marriage under pressure, the double life unfolding behind closed doors, and the devastating loss of a father, a son, a brother, and a friend.SourcesKey witness who allegedly provided Kouri Richins fentanyl testifies at trial, ABC4 Utah, Ava Hart, Sorina Trauntvein, and Ryan Bittan, 2/26/2026.Kouri Richins' defense rests its case, Park Record, Toria Barnhart, 3/12/2026.Prosecution says it's close to resting case in Kouri Richins murder trial, KPCW, Connor Thomas, 3/5/2026.Richins trial: Eric Richins' business partner, private investigator testify in Park City murder trial, KSL.com, Emily Ashcraft, 4/9/2026.State v.
