Calm 911 Call And Shifting Initial Story
- Richie called 911 calmly claiming Molly overdosed, then later said she committed suicide after finding his gun under her, creating inconsistent initial accounts.
- The first 911 call reported bleeding from the nose and an overdose, while a later call mentioned a gun, raising immediate red flags in the timeline.
Body Found With Gun Nearby
- Paramedics found Molly face up with a gunshot wound about 1.5 inches above her left eyebrow and Richie's .45 tucked under her left side.
- Molly's phone and an amoxicillin bottle lay near her feet, and Richie claimed he only noticed the gun while moving her to perform CPR.
Timestamped Texts Show Alarm Before Death
- Wes's phone timestamps show Molly texting him at 3:54 and 4:40 a.m., including a message saying she would shoot herself in the head after seeing texts between Richie and Crystal.
- Those texts and timing conflict with later claims and with deleted messages on Richie's phone.
