Let's go ahead and jump in.
You're listening to the Dateland story meeting. What was she charged with? Our producers are catching up on breaking crime news.
She was like, filing reports and reports and reports. The whole backdrop for the fire department is interesting.
She's starting to believe in her father's guilt.
Welcome to Dateland, True Crime Weekly. I'm Lester Holt. It's March fifth, and here's what's on our docket. In South Carolina, two and a half years after a a man was shot dead on a country road, a judge listens to witness testimony, body cam video, and 911 calls to figure out what happened. Hey, I've got a guy point of doing me driving. In Dateland Roundup, closing arguments are set to begin at the murder trial of Michigan farmer Dale Warner. And in Miami, the trial of the former college football player accused of gunning down his teammate 20 years ago comes to a surprising end.
The Pata family, they've been very emotional throughout the proceedings. They seemed like they were in disbelief.
Plus, it's a tool we see investigators use a lot to zero in on a suspect: photo lineups. A retired police chief tells us how it's done.
Even subtle cues. You're in a breathing posture, tone of voice, can influence the witness's choice.
Before all that, we're heading back to Utah, where Cori Richens, the mom of three accused of fatally poisoning her husband, came face to face with the prosecution Richin star witness, her former housekeeper. It's week two at the murder trial of Cori Richens, the woman who wrote a children's book about grief after her husband Eric's mysterious death, only to be charged with his murder. Prosecutor say Cori poisoned Eric in March 2022 so that she could cash in on his life insurance and start life over with her lover. She says that's not true and has pleaded not guilty. So far in the trial, we've heard from Eric's family members about the couple's relationship and the devastating impact of his death.
Eric was one of the most likable people.
I'm sorry, guys. This was the worst day of my life. I'm sorry.
Now, prosecutors are telling the jury how they think Cori went about poisoning him, calling to the stand Cori's 54-year-old former housekeeper, Carmen Lauber, the person they say purchased the fentanyl that killed Eric. Here to bring us the latest is Dateland producer Karen Israel. Thanks for coming back on the podcast, Karen.
Thanks for having me.
So let's get straight to this important testimony. Remind us why Carmen Lauber is such a key prosecution witness.
Sure. Eric's cause of death, according to the medical examiner, was a fentanyl overdose. The defense doesn't dispute that Eric died from a fentanyl overdose. They argue that Eric could have gotten it himself or accidentally ingested it. So the prosecutors need to be able to make the connection between Cori and the fentanyl. Carmen does that for them.
And it was a big moment when Carmen took the stand. What was your impression of her? Did she seem nervous? Did she look at Eric's family? Because she's basically testifying about procuring an illegal drug that may have resulted in his death.
She stayed pretty calm and seemed confident, but she was also emotional at several points and clearly seemed disturbed by the possibility that she may have played a role in Eric's death by purchasing the fentanyl.
The investigators told you that Eric had died.
I already knew Eric had passed away. But when they had mentioned that it was from an overdose, that hit hard. Only for the fact that if that's what happened, I needed to step up and take accountability of my in this that happened.
The prosecutor revealed right out of the gate that Carmen was testifying subject to an immunity agreement. Why do you think he did that?
This was a way to deal head-on with the defense saying that Carmen's testimony might be less credible because she was working with prosecutors. The prosecutor made it clear Carmen had to testify truthfully to meet the terms of that agreement.
So what did you learn about who Carmen was when this all happened?
So Carmen told the jury about her long history of substance abuse on top of a criminal drug history. She testified that she's sober now and has been for some time. Cori Richen's aunt runs a housekeeping business, and Carmen used to work for her. She cleaned Cori's house about every other week for years, and she said she discussed her drug use with Cori. Then she said in early 2022, the nature of their conversations changed.
She reached out and asked if I could do her favor. And I said, Yeah, probably. What is it? And then she had called me and asked me if I could reach out to somebody for some pay meds for an investor that she knew. And I told her I could see what I could do.
Carmen said she bought some opiates from a friend, but then Cori asked her for something stronger.
What then did you do? I had text Cori back and told her that I had a friend that could get them, but they were fed not pills.
How did Cori reach into a spot?
She said, Okay, go ahead and get.
She said she bought pills from a friend of a friend named Robert Crozier, who was a drug dealer.
Carmen testified that she got those pills to Cori a number of different ways. One time, she handed her a bag of pills in person. Another time, she hid them at a property Cori was flipping.
Did she tell you what she wanted you to do with those pills?
She responded it back with, take them over to the Midway house, put them in a shed. I didn't feel comfortable leaving them in the shed out in the open. So I went to the fire pit and dug a little hole and put the gravel back on top of it and then turned a brick to the side to cover it up.
And then what do we know about the dates of these drug purchases? For context, Eric Richens was found dead almost four years ago, exactly on March fourth, 2022.
Carmen couldn't give exact dates for any of the purchases, but the prosecutor showed the jury a Facebook message Carmen sent to the person she said connected her to Robert Crozier, the drug dealer. That was in February of 2022. And she testified about buying drugs for Cori a few days after Eric's death. So the drug buys are roughly the month around his death.
All right, then it was time for the defense. How did they attack Carmen's credibility as a witness?
They had a two-pronged approach. They went after her memory and her relationship with prosecutors. They said she'd regularly been using drugs at that time when she made these alleged purchases, so her memory couldn't be trusted. In fact, they pointed out that she'd told investigators herself when she was first talking to them that she couldn't remember stuff. They're trying to help you pin down a date, but you told them multiple times. I really don't know. There was snow on the ground.
Really wasn't absolutely correct on the date, no.
The defense read snippets of Carmen's various interview transcripts to the jury and pointed out that there were some inconsistencies between her testimony and what she initially told investigators.
That's right. Perhaps the biggest difference being that Carmen initially denied buying Fentanyl for Cori. The defense suggested that the detectives were the ones to plant this idea that Carmen had bought Fentanyl for Cori. The only person up to this point who has put the word Fentanyl in your head are these detectives, correct? Ms. Lauber, you're on the stand. At that point, they are the ones that told you it was fentanyl.
They're the ones that told me that Eric passed away from fentanyl.
They're the ones that put the word fentanyl in your head.
They're the ones that told me that that's where Eric passed away from. Okay.
The defense also challenged Carmen on her immunity agreement. And you are willing to do whatever it takes to save yourself from getting kicked out of drug court and going to prison, correct?
I'm going to go forward with the truth, yes.
One of the next witnesses the prosecution called was Robert Crozier, the man she says she purchased the fentanyl from for Corey. Give us the rundown of his testimony.
Something important to know about Crozier is that when he first spoke to investigators years ago, he corroborated Carmen's story that he sold her Fentanyl and signed an affidavit. But he has since recanted and said he didn't start selling Fentanyl until late 2022, months after the alleged drug purchases.
I'm curious how the prosecution handled that.
They told the jury about his signed affidavit, and they said even if he didn't know he was selling Fentanyl, other drugs can be laced with fentanyl without the user or dealer's knowledge.
How were the pills that you sold to Common Law for a package?
It was in a bag. You got that bag from your plug, right? Correct. You did not get that bag from a pharmacy, correct? No.
Thank you. Did any other witnesses get your attention this week?
We heard more about the state of Eric and Cori's marriage from the wife of Eric's former business partner, Allison Wright. She said that years before Eric's death in 2019, Cori told her they were having trouble, and she felt trapped because of their prenuptual agreement. We've also heard from a forensic accountant who was describing how deeply in debt Cori was in the months leading up to Eric's death.
All right. Well, Karen, thanks for bringing us these updates. It's great.
Thanks, Lester.
We have our own quick update for you about this trial on Wednesday afternoon after I tape my conversation with Karen. The prosecution called Robert Josh Grossman to the stand. The man prosecutors say was Cory Richen's lover at the time of Eric's murder. And the man, they say, fueled her murder plot. We'll tell you all about his testimony next week. Coming up, after a man was shot dead on a country road, no criminal charges were filed. Now, the man's sister is fighting to change that. For our next story, we're headed to a stretch of country road in South Carolina. Two and a half years ago, 33-year-old man by the name of Scott Spivey was shot dead there. Oh, my God. What happened, ma'am? What happened? The men who shot him, Weldon Boyd and Kenneth Bradley-Williams, told police they were acting in self-defense, and the state's top prosecutor believe them. They have never faced criminal charges, but Spivey's sister, Jennifer Foley, refused to let it go. All my family has ever asked for was a fair and honest investigation. And after filing a wrongful death suit, she uncovered phone calls, 911 calls, and other material. She says proof Spivey was killed in cold blood, and local police officers may have helped cover it up.
At a recent four-day hearing, a civil court Judge got to take a look at all that material. Dateline producer, Carol Gable was there. Carol, good to have you. Thanks for being with us.
Thanks, Lester. It's good to be here.
So first off, tell us a little bit about the man, Scott Spivey, who was killed in all this.
Well, he was 33 years old, an insurance adjuster. And apparently on September ninth, he was at a local bar watching football and drinking for several hours before getting behind the wheel of his Chevy Silverado. And witnesses saw him drive very erradically down US Highway 9. Sometimes he would wave his gun out the window. Sometimes, according to some witnesses, at them, but most times just waving it in the air. I am on Highway number 9.
There is a guy that is waving a gun in front of me. He's all over the road, and I have his license plate number.
That's when he crossed paths with Weldon Boyd and his passenger, Bradley Williams.
Where were they coming from?
Well, they had been running errands all day. They were going up Highway 9 as well.
Okay, so walk us through how this escalates.
The clearest window into Weldon's thinking is the 911 call because he calls 911 and it leaves them on speakerphone. The whole time this is happening.
Hey, I've got a guy point of gun at me driving.
And he's describing how Scott Spivey continues to weave in and out. And in fact, at one point, Scott Spivey drives Weldon Boyd off the road into grass median. And he basically said several times on this 911 tape that if this guy does not slow down and stop, that he would put him down.
Listen, this dude shoots at me, we're going to put him down.
Sort It's not like you talk about putting a rabid dog down. According to some witnesses, Weldon Boyd was behind Scott Spivey, and both of them were driving at rates of speed more than 100 miles an hour at times. Finally, they come to an intersection of Camp Swamp Road. So instead of moving forward to his destination, Weldon Boyd is still going after Scott Spivey.
People were still calling 911, which is why we know what was happening. So Scott Spivey eventually comes to a stop at Camp Swamp Road in his black truck. Weldon Boyd and Bradley Williams are on a white truck behind him. Take us through what happens He's next.
So by now, Scott Spivey has jumped out of his truck, and he has a gun by several reports, is down by his side, and he's yelling, Stop following me.
He told the guy, Do not follow me anymore. The guy in the white truck had his gun drawn pointed at him. The guy in the black truck moved his pistol.
As he turns to go back to his truck, he shot in the back.
So the guy in the white truck has unloaded a complete magazine at the guy, shot to his back window, and I think he might have hit him.
Now, there is also testimony that Scott Spivey fired a round that went into the dirt. But he climbs back into the cab of his car, and he's mortally wounded.
So let me ask you about the attorney general who declined to prosecute the men, saying it was a clear-cut example of self-defense under the stand your ground law. And explain exactly Basically, what it allows you to do.
What stand your ground in South Carolina is supposed to do is protect you and give you civil and criminal immunity. If someone is attacking you or threatening you with deadly force, in a place, you have a right to be.
Scott's family didn't accept the stand your ground explanation.
They did not. And chief among those would be Scott's sister, Jennifer, very, very close siblings, pees in pod. So she decides to file a wrongful death suit against these two guys. She finds buried within the discovery more than 90 phone calls that Weldon Boyd had made.
How is it that all these recordings exist?
Well, Weldon Boyd had a girlfriend, and she got pregnant, and they broke up. So he started trying to get custody. So So he flipped a switch on his phone that meant all of his phone calls were recorded all the time because he thought he might catch her in some incriminating statement or something that would help in his case.
What did they reveal, those phone calls?
After the shooting that kills Scott Spivey, he says things like, to his mother, I had a blast.
To someone else, I had a good So it didn't necessarily paint the picture of someone who was fearing for their life at that particular moment. Some of these calls that raised eyebrows were ones that Boyd exchanged with local police officers.
Oh, yes. The first one when he calls his friend on the forest who's a high-up person and says, I just shot somebody. I had to shoot them, and is told, Look, I got the rod deep. I got the people coming in. They need to come. And then there's another moment in body camera tape when another officer walks up to Weldon with a piece of paper, a pad in his hand that says, Act like a victim.
After the calls became public, Boyd's friend on the police force resigned. Although his attorney told us he denies any wrongdoing and had nothing to do with the investigation into the shooting, and the police officer who wrote the message, Act like a victim, was fired. The way the shooting was investigated is now under review by a grand jury. And, Carol, that's not all. This seemed to shake loose how prosecutors were thinking about the criminal side of things.
After this happened, the attorney general appointed a special prosecutor to have another look at this case.
So take us to the hearing that concluded just a few days ago. What was it about?
It was significant because Jennifer's quest to sue knew Weldon Boyd and Bradley Williams in civil court for wrongful death depended on the two of them being stripped of their stand your ground privilege. So this was a four-day hearing geared to a party of one because the judge was the one who had to make that decision.
This was the first time we heard Weldon Boyd tell his story under oath. Let's take a listen to some of it.
Did you intend to hurt that man?
No.
Did you have fired him? Had he not fired you?
No.
I gave him every chance I could.
He really just got back in the truck.
Weldon started his testimony sobbing and extraordinarily upset. But then he just stuck by his story that he didn't have a choice but to shoot Scott Spivey.
So what did the judge decide?
He said he was basically stunned and shocked at Weldon Boyd's behavior, that it didn't seem like stand your ground at all.
It's not credible. It seems that driving over 100 miles an hour trying to keep up the guy with a gun is foolish. I find that Mr. Boyd's request for immunities is denied.
The net net was Weldon Boyd can be sued civilly, and there's a possibility the AG's special prosecutor may, in fact, get charges levied against him criminally.
So what did the judge decide about the other person who was in that vehicle, Mr. Williams?
Well, the judge wanted to take a little more time to make that decision, and he has asked both sides, the defense and the plaintiffs, to submit briefs for him to look at. And I believe there's going to be due in the next week or so, and then he will come back and make that decision.
After the judge gave his ruling, Jennifer spoke outside court. Let's take a listen.
It's been a lot of nos in the last two and a half years, and this is the first yes. This is just a start on the road to trying to get justice for him.
Okay, fascinating case, Carol. It'll be interesting to see what happens. Coming up, it's time for Dateline Roundup. We'll bring you the latest from the murder trial of former college football player, Rashaun Jones, and the one-time MLB pitcher, Dan Serrafini, convicted of shooting his in-laws, finally learns his fate. Plus, the do's and don'ts of photo lineups. A retired police chief shares his tips. Welcome back. Joining us for this week's Roundup is Dateland field producer Alex Leroy.
Hi, Alex. Hey, Lester.
First, we are going to head back to Miami, Florida, with the latest in the murder trial of Rashaun Jones, the University of Miami football player accused of killing his fellow teammate, Brian Patta. He's pleaded not guilty. Alex, you've been in Miami covering this one. On Monday, there was huge news from inside the courtroom. Before we get to that, remind us where we left off in this case.
Yeah, sure. We left off right as closing arguments were getting underway. The prosecutors told the jury that Rashaun Jones killed Brian Pata out of envy and jealousy. They leaned hard on the videotaped testimony of an eyewitness who identified Rashaun from a photo lineup as the person that he saw at the scene that night. As For the defense, they said there just wasn't any evidence connecting Rashaun to the crime. The eyewitness wasn't even 100% sure of his ID.
Deliberations began last Thursday. On Monday, the juror sent a note to the judge. What did they say?
Yeah, they said that they were deadlocked. The judge encouraged them to keep trying, but after another hour of deliberations, the jurors again said that they would not be able to render a verdict, and so the judge declared a mistrial.
At this time, I will declare a mistrial in a home jury.
You were there in the courtroom for that moment. What was it like?
Yeah. So obviously, the Pata family, they've been there every single day. They seemed like they were in disbelief. Outside of the courthouse, after everything was over, Brian's brother Edwin spoke to the media, and he said that he's convinced now more than ever that Jones is guilty.
Let's listen to Edwin's interview with our affiliate, NBC 6 South Florida. There are some things that I heard throughout this trial that I've never even heard of, and that gave us more confident that he's the guy, he's the actual killer. We're confident with that, and we're going to stay with that. He knows that he did that. Alex, you were able to speak with one of the jurors afterwards. What insight did the juror give you in the deliberations?
Many of the jurors had questions about the eyewitness. For this juror, The motive didn't really make sense.
Did this juror share the breakdown of how the jurors were divided?
They did. By the end of the first day of deliberations, which was last Thursday, it was 5: 21 to a quit. They went away over the weekend and returned Monday, and the holdout juror wouldn't change their mind, and that's what led to the mistrial.
And prosecutors announced Wednesday that they will retry the case against Rashaun Jones. His retrial is scheduled to begin May 18th Then, of course, we'll be watching it closely. Next up, we're turning to a Michigan courthouse where a trial we've been watching closely is winding down. Dale Warner is charged with murdering his wife, Dee, in 2021 and concealing her body inside a fertilizer tank on his Lenaway County farm. He has pleaded not guilty. Alex, what's happening in court at this stage? A lot.
The prosecution and the defense both had big moments. The prosecution took the jurors on a site visit, so they didn't just hear about the Warner Farm, they walked it, giving jurors a firsthand look at the property where Dee's body was found.
Alex, the prosecution rested on Tuesday, so the jury also got to hear from some defense witnesses. What were the highlights there.
The main witness the defense called was Dee's brother, Greg Hardy. The defense challenged Greg about a text that he'd sent. You indicated that you have potential liability if the prosecutor is not successful in getting a conviction against Mr..
Warner, correct?
That's what the text says. And you wrote that text, right? I did. The defense was suggesting that this was suspicious behavior. And after that, the defense rested.
We'll have an update next week. And finally, we're off to California, where former Major League baseball pitcher, Dan Serrafini, learned his fate this week. He was found guilty back in July for the murder of his father-in-law, Gary Spore, and the attempted murder of his mother-in-law, Wendy Wood. Alex, first remind listeners about this case.
Sure. So prosecutors say back in 2021, Serrafini ambushed his in-laws at their Lake Tahoe home, shooting both of them. Prosecutor said Serrafini plotted to kill his in-laws over money so that he'd have access to a multimillion dollar inheritance.
Serrafini made several attempts to win himself a new trial since he was convicted back in July.
That's right. All those attempts, however, were denied by a judge, and Serrafini's sentencing moved forward last Friday.
The court hereby sentences you to life without the possibility of parole.
Victim impact statements immediately followed. Adrian Spore, the victim's daughter, had this to say about Dan Serrafini.
He's a monster that knows no moral boundaries and has zero reservations about taking lives to benefit himself. She even asked the judge to put Serrafini in solitary confinement because she's afraid he will conspire with fellow inmates to have her killed. Then, Serrafini himself got to say a few words.
In this I was called arrogant manipulative and a liar. I accept my failings, but I have never heard of her.
The judge wasn't too keen on what Serrafini had to say about himself.
What I heard from you was all about you and not enough about the victims that died in this case.
Some of the jurors who convicted Serrafini returned to court for his sentencing, they talked to our affiliate, KCRA, outside the courthouse afterwards. I think it's a moment for closure for of us. We really wanted to be here in support of the family.
It was a tragedy, and these are real people in real lives.
Just to hear the devastation caused by these murders, it's awful. Well, Alex, so much from jurors this week. Thanks for bringing us these updates.
Thanks for having me, Lester.
For our final story this week, we're talking about something that got our attention while we've been covering the trial of Rashaun Jones over the past few weeks. Photo lineups, as we just talked about in Roundup, the prosecution star witness was an eyewitness who picked Jones out of a photo lineup, but the defense had questions about his identification. It made us curious about how detectives conduct a photo lineup in the first place and the obstacles that exist to getting a solid ID. My next guest, Ken Wollentine, is a retired chief of the West Jordan, Utah Police Department Harpon with over four decades of experience in law enforcement. Welcome to the show, Ken. Great to have you with us. Thank you. Ken, we've all seen photo lineups done in movies, and we've heard about them certainly on Dateland episodes. But walk us through what the procedure is actually like in real life?
The first thing in a photo lineup is we want to start out right. Typically, you'll see a minimum of six photographs, sometimes a few more, I hope, nevertheless. Typically, that's one suspect, one person we believe might be the perpetrator, and at least five what we call fillers. In other words, people who are similar in appearance, not to the suspect, but similar in appearance to the description given by the witness. We want the witness to be told the perpetrator may or may not be present in the photo lineup. We assure the witness that the investigation will continue regardless of their identification or inability to make an identification. We caution them not to look to the detective or whoever is administering the photo lineup for any guidance. And then one final thing in administering is that best practice today, I believe, is a blind administration. What do I mean by that? It's a blind administration where the photo ID lineup administrator doesn't know the suspect's identity. The purpose of that is to eliminate either intentional or unconscious queuing, because even subtle queues from the administrator, breathing, posture, tone of voice, can influence the witness's memory and also the witness's choice.
You've been in law enforcement for four decades, a police chief for two of them. How has the process of police lineups evolved over the years?
Oh, my gosh. So we go back in my family to 1869 in law enforcement. And then when my grandfather was doing identification, they were still doing live lineups. We typically don't do those anymore. Photo lineups became fairly popular in the late 1950s, the late 1960s, when we started really collecting photographs, mug shots, if you will, and making them available. In the 1960s, there was very limited training on how to administer an eyewitness identification procedure. The detective who was the investigator took the photographs, put them in front of people, might have even pointed to photographs as here he moved along. Then when I became a cop in the late 1970s, really about the beginning of the 1980s, there was a scientific awakening. In the '80s and '90s, we moved from assuming memory works like a video recording to understanding that it's reconstructive and vulnerable to suggestions. Finally, in the last even less than a decade, we have seen courts and legislatures drive best practices as they're embedded into evidentiary rules and evidentiary laws.
What I'm hearing is that this is a useful technique, but one that has to be handled very carefully because of just human reaction and how we process information. So with that in mind, how common is it for police to use a photo lineup?
Well, you wouldn't see a photo lineup used, for example, in a shop lifting at a convenience store, typically. Certainly in serious felony cases, services, aggravated assault, sexual assault, people who may witness a homicide. In those cases, it's all stops are pulled, all hands on deck, and we'll do everything we can to identify the perpetrator. And very often, if we have an eyewitness, that will involve a photographic lineup procedure.
All right. I was struck by this one figure. According to the National Institute of Justice, mistaken eyewitness identifications have played a role in 75% of wrongful convictions. That's a pretty alarming high number. Ken, what could make an eyewitness pick the wrong person?
One thing is that they haven't been given proper instructions. They go into the procedure believing, and it's a little logical, I think, to believe that one of those six people is the perpetrator. They also feel like they have an obligation to identify someone. Luster, we all inflate our confidence in our memories. When you couple that with the pressure or the direction to identify a suspect, it Maybe you think it's your civic duty, maybe you're anxious to see justice done for a crime that was perpetrated against you. That's a dangerous combination.
Once a witness or victim has made an identification, how does that impact the investigation? Is there anything the police should or shouldn't do afterwards?
Really good detectives will consider that eyewitness identification, and then they will balance it with the other information that they have, and they will pursue any other leads they can. We don't want Officers, we don't want investigators to be overconfident. Eyewitness testimony can be powerful. It can also be vulnerable. I would hope, Lester, that once an identification is made, that's simply another brick in the wall, that's simply another step taken but not conclusive and not a terminal point for the investigation.
