In this week’s true crime headlines episode, we’re covering five major cases making news right now. Utah mom Kouri Richins has been found guilty of murdering her husband Eric with fentanyl — while simultaneously promoting a children’s book about grief she wrote after his death. In an ongoing missing persons case, University of Alabama student Jimmy Gracey was found dead in Barcelona, Spain after disappearing during spring break; Spanish authorities are calling it accidental but toxicology results are still pending. We also have an update on the Nancy Guthrie disappearance — the 84-year-old mother of Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie has now been missing for nearly eight weeks after an alleged targeted abduction from her Tucson, Arizona home, and the family is pleading for tips as the investigation stalls. In Michigan, Dale Warner was convicted of second-degree murder in the death of his wife Dee Warner, whose remains were found sealed inside a welded fertilizer tank on the couple’s farm more than three years after she vanished. And in Florida, two teenage girls — Isabelle Valdez and Lois Lippert — were arrested at Lake Brantley High School after allegedly plotting to murder a classmate in a premeditated attack; both have been charged as adults and are being held without bond.
