For nearly a year, no one knew. Behind the steel door of a storage unit, something sat in the dark. Decomposing, rotting, and slowly giving itself away. Eventually, someone reported a foul stench, and McHenry, Illinois deputies were dispatched to investigate. The unit belonged to Marcy Oglesby. At first, Marcy claimed the odor was caused by old clothes, and that a possum had died in the unit. But that lie quickly unraveled when officers discovered the decomposed remains of Marcy's husband, retired police chief Richard Young, hidden there for nearly a year. Evidence showed that Marcy poisoned Richard slowly, lacing his food and drinks with eye drops containing tetrahydrozoline, a vasoconstrictor that in large repeated doses can dangerously suppress heart rate and breathing, ultimately causing death. Before confronting Marcy, police carefully collected blood samples from her hands, looking for the smallest of hints that could tie her to the crime. I was told that you have some sort of substance on your hands. Can you hold your hands out for me, please? Yes. I think with some of it in my blood, cuz I did nick myself a little bit. Okay. Um, and I don't know what that is. Can you hold your hand out for me, please? It's pretty dry. Oh, yeah. I'm guessing that's my blood, cuz now I can feel the cut. Like you're using a big knife to open the box. Okay. And I cut myself. I worked in the lab. I know what you're going to do. And then you had this some on the back side of your hand there. Yeah. Just to let you know everything is audio and video recorded in this room, okay? Okay. Thank you for calling me here. Just sign right here, and that's fine. Um I know it's probably in my best interest to talk to a lawyer, but I also feel like I want to just just I don't know something. Right. Yeah, I don't know. We'll work it. All right. Well, obviously you know why we're here. Yes, I do. So, I'm going to let you tell me what happened. Um Rick had COVID and very sick for quite a while. He can be a very, you know, he can be a very difficult person to try to try to deal with. I mean, you know, nice person, you know, but just stubborn. Just stubborn like getting to help or anything else. So, um We've been together for 24 years. I just basically was a bit of a bully and I'd let him, you know, let him bully me cuz I'm a doormat. How so? Um like I paid all the bills. I um I mean, the man wouldn't go buy himself shoes or do laundry or anything else. I took care of everything while he was earning money. Okay. And you know, like if we were low on groceries or something, or, you know, I couldn't afford to pay a bill. I mean, I was working 10 12 hours a day. Um but I mean, I'd get up at 4:30 in the morning, go take a shower, go get ready for work, go to work, and come home and he would be he would have sat there all day long after he retired, you know. He would have just sat there all day long and watched porn or did whatever. Um you know, and and if I said, "Hey, I need some help with the bills this time or whatever." He might eventually give it to me, but he would complain the whole time. And well, what are you doing with your money? Um I'm supporting the whole household. So, you know, our relationship was always if I if I didn't go along with things the way he wanted, he'd make our lives miserable. But I loved him, so I put up with it, you know, I mean. Did he live there in the home with you? Yes. He did. Um so, everything was fine, but when he got COVID, I couldn't get him to go to the doctor. I couldn't get him to agree to you know, he was like, "Just give me some medicine. It's a virus. It'll work It'll run itself out." He was so sick. He was throwing up. For 2 weeks, he couldn't hold anything down, even water. And I would beg him, "Let me Let me take you to the doctor, you know." And you know, or stay in bed, you know, and I did the best I could to take care of him. But he was taking so much medicine and stuff, like he was constipated. So, I literally you know, because I mean, I've worked in medicine for 20-some years. You know, I worked in ICU, CCU, you know. I knew what I was doing. Yeah, I wasn't recklessly you know, just saying, "Let me take care of you." You know. When he wouldn't go to the doctor, I was like, "Okay." So, I mean, at one point in time, I literally had to he had an impaction. You know, he couldn't poop. Yeah. And and finally, I sat down and I said, "So, I said, do you realize love you? And I'm just being I'm being tough here telling you you need to go to the hospital and you need to have proper care, you know, because of that. He'd wait till I fell asleep just completely exhausted from taking care of him. And instead of like, you know, I put a little bell in there. I gave him options to wake me up. He'd get up on his own and fall, you know. So, I was like, "Why are you doing this? I'm here. I'm here to help you." Well, I'm putting too much stress on you, you know. You don't feel good. You know, I I I need to take care of this myself. So, then it got to the point where it was almost like I don't even know how to explain it. I mean, it was like he was deliberately making it harder for me to take care of him. And by getting up, you know, I'd I'd get up and go to the bathroom and I feel like if you're ready to get up, go to the chair, you know, do whatever you eat. Let's go pee. You know, just give me a minute. Go pee. And I would come back and he'd be up and he'd be on the floor. We were, you know, looking at a new house. I went to look at the house. I get back, you know, my little old stepmom cannot pick him up off the floor, you know. And I said, you know, if you want to get up before I leave to run to Avon to look at this house. Let me get you up. You know, cuz I can't pick you up. I wasn't gone 20 minutes. He got up, fell. And when I called him, he was sitting on the floor. It's like, "No, I'm fine. I'll be here till you get back." Just just constant, you know, constant things. So, then probably, I don't know, the fourth time he fell, broke his nose. I mean, he looked like he'd been through a prize fight. And you know, when you've already had a problem in the past, it's not funny to sit there like my nephew walked in and went, "Dad, what happened to you?" And he's like, "Her." You know, I mean, thank God I had a witness that he fell, you know, and broke his own nose. But he would think this was funny. Just sit there and be like, "Her." You know, she'd be She'd blame me and knock on my shirt, you know. Stuff like that. He had a bad tendency to dramatize things. You know, tell his kids things to make himself come out seeming more important. He had this this tendency to do that. So, the you know, when he got to the point where he couldn't really talk cuz he'd thrown up so much, all of the you know, all of the gastric juices and, you know, everything had him so he could barely talk. Steven would come and check on him here and there. But his kids never gave a damn about anything but getting money. Steven, on the other hand, doesn't. He's one of these people I don't want an inheritance from my parents. I don't want anything that makes it look like you're you're happy they're dead, you know? You know, once again, he'd started feeling a little bit better. Started getting some strength back. And he got to the bathroom and I came back in from taking the dogs out to pee. And he he had fallen in the bathroom. And I was like went in, you know, helped him up. And he's like, "I want to go out to the RV." Cuz he had a big RV at the time. He's like, "I want to go out to the RV and just stretch out, you know, and not bug anybody with what I want to watch on TV and anything else." And then I was like, "Well, at least you're not trying to go by yourself cuz a couple times he'd went out there by himself and, you know, crashed and, you know, he was just so stubborn about it with him. And so, you know, I was like, "Okay, well, you know, we'll go." And he had a hold, you know, had a hold of my shoulders. You know, and I helped him get out there. And sat him down on the edge of the bed. And he said, "Thank you." He said, "Oh, it felt so good." You know, and he's like, "I feel funny." And I said, "Okay, well, let's get you laid down." And I you know, kind of went to, you know, help him get turned around. And he just he just stopped. I mean, literally, like that. And I realized, "My God, he broke his neck when he fell." Nothing else would stop I mean I worked in medicine for nothing else would have just stopped. You know, it's like No sign of anything. You know, he was fine. He was up walking one minute and literally it was just kind of like flop and gone. And I sat down and I freaked out and I have I have a lot of PTSD when it comes to people dying. And I sat there for a long time. And and I made a horrible decision. He had asked me he had asked me to promise something. A long time ago. And and I had promised him that. And it was like What was that? He couldn't get married with this number going on. Everything over in the cemetery. You know, close to them. And he didn't really he didn't really want to be anywhere else. He wanted to be up on the Indian mound outside of town. I said, "So you want me to basically cremate you and go off and trespass on somebody's land, you know? Because you know, that belongs to somebody else and that was where he felt home. That was where him and his vehicles would always go hunt and and everything and he I said, "So you want me to, you know, sneak off and and scatter you?" He was like, "I don't want to be cremated." I said, "Well, that's impossible." And you know, he was like, "Well, I guess if you have to cremate me, but and I I I have I don't really have a good explanation for other than I sat there crying. And you know, I went in the house and you know, Mom's like, "What's going on?" I said, "Oh, he's really sick. I need to take him to the hospital." And I of course wasn't going to involve my stepmom, you know, she thought he was at the hospital. And like I said, they weren't real close, you know, they they tolerated each other basically. So, she didn't think anything of it when I said I just you know, he's real sick and he needs to go to the hospital and she didn't think too much of it and and after a couple days after a couple days of me getting my head out of my butt and realizing I needed to just report, you know, I should have just called when it happened and done the normal thing that any normal human being would do. And and then at that point I was like, "Okay, well, I didn't do the right thing and I got scared and it just kept compounding and compounding until I I just I was like, "Okay, so what do I do? You know, I didn't report this. It's you know, that's a a criminal act. And you know, all I could think about was the the mummy thing in outside of Knoxville. And and everything and it's like but it it wasn't wasn't like a religious thing or you know, it was me just being depressed and devastated and and sitting there thinking that I promised him that and and I knew his his oldest child was never going to cooperate with that. And and I just I I just made a really stupid decision and and then then know how to you know, I was like, "Okay, so do I go in and say I made a stupid mistake?" And you know, but I mean x-rays and everything will show that you know, that I I didn't hurt him. You know, I tried to take care of him and I wouldn't hurt a fly. You know, I would never kill someone. I I was so devastated. I just didn't I just didn't didn't quite know. It was like I wasn't in the right mind. I want to backtrack just a little bit. Okay. Obviously, I I told you that you know you said you know why we're here. Because of the body that Yes. And that was that body is of Richard or Rick Young. Yes. Former with one police chief >> Chief of police, yes. We were married together for 24 years. From the night that he fell in bathroom. You then walked him from the bathroom to the bedroom. No, out to the RV. Walked him out to the RV. yeah. But he That's where he put his out of bed, the couch. He was on the on the bed though, then he backed in RV. And he said, "I don't feel very good." And then I you know, I basically put my arms around him and you know, what to pull him up to me. You know, just to give him, you know, some support and everything and and literally when I you know, when I pulled him up to me it's it did something unnatural. My heart I mean, it was like that, honestly. It was like that and I I mean and I screamed and and I you know, I mean, like you would normally, you know, I took his penis and you know, I was like, "Honey, honey, honey." And he was just gone. And it happened like that. I've never seen anything in all my years of medicine, I've never seen anything like that. You know, there was always some I've seen heart attacks, I've seen strokes, I've seen I've never seen anything like that. How long did you keep him in the camper or was he in the the RV that night? Just like 24 hours. Till I figured out how to how to move him. He's been in that storage unit ever since. Who helped you get him over there? I did it by myself. Wasn't easy. I literally it was like early in the morning and I and up wiggle the box with a little box with a little box. And they're over in the storage unit. I did it all by myself. I don't believe it. I would take polygraph if you swear you're lying. On everything that's sacred to me, I I literally to live literally took and kind of got got it down and you know, got box down the steps. And like I don't know how to demonstrate. Um You know, if we're just kind of scooting a box you know, something heavy you know, in a box a little bit at a time. That's literally how I did it. I just used my foot and my arms and just kind of took it and and took it across a little bit at a time. Did you use anything to wheel them over there? Um I there uh we had a a dolly but the box wasn't it it wasn't strong enough for that to for that to work. So, I that's why I literally just scooted it. A little bit at a time. Honestly, if I would have had help, I probably wouldn't have put it in the storage unit. You know, if if it hadn't been something I was doing depressed and stupid all by myself then I sure I would have you know, if I had conscious or something, I would have come up with a better plan. But I was I was panicky and and not right ahead. I bless you. So, what was your plan? I was going to figure out how I was trying to figure out how best to to give him what he wanted. To find a way to to plant him up on that up on the mound and figure out a way to to properly eventually somehow I I hadn't figured it out yet to actually report his death somehow and at least give his kids peace, you know? I I was trying to figure out how to do the wrong thing uh the right thing the wrong way and and it just kept getting bigger, you know, a lie gets bigger. And it just keeps getting bigger and and I wanted I wanted so bad it was a relief. Last night was a relief to be able to finally just say look, I screwed up. I I was afraid that because of our past, you know, the the fight we had you know, and me being in jail and all of that stuff I was afraid to just just tell the truth and somehow try to find a way to give him what he wanted. And I was just I was so depressed and so screwed up and so scared and I mean, I just lost the the person that was literally my guide for 22 years. Cuz I was so lost after my daughter died. If it hadn't been for it, I would have I probably would several times. He was that person who who took care of everything. So Oh, okay. I thought you said he had my >> I need to have your phone and we're going to do a search warrant. We're going to go through it. Okay. How many people knew that Rick was over there? In the storage shed? Me. That was it. Just me. Did your mom know? I think she suspected there was something wrong. If we talk to your mom, what do you think she's going to tell us? That she that she thought something thought that I was, you know, hiding something, but she just thought he was in there. Do you think she would know any details of how he died? Yeah. No. I mean, she she knew he was falling all the time. I mean, you know, he was doing that in front of her. She, you know, she knew that he had, you know, had fallen and knew that there were You know, she also knew that he was not cooperating with program, you know. She'd even sit there and tell him, "Why don't you just stay in the chair, stay in bed, or use the walker?" I mean, I had a walker. You know, trying to Mhm. Trying to help that. The No, I I I didn't have any intention of hurting anybody and definitely not, you know, my elderly stepmom or, you know, my my family. I didn't have any intention of hurting him. You know, I mean, ultimately his family has not gotten to grieve, you know, because of the choice that I made. And but I never meant to hurt anybody, and and that's why I that's why I did the sub island. This was this was my choice and my alone. Nobody nobody else knew. Nobody else knew. Are you still doing the art dealing? Mhm. Trying to. How's that going? Not very well. Is that out of Nigeria? Well, the business itself is out of here, but I have 23 different artists from the African or Caribbean diaspora that Okay. that all contribute. Is there one from Nigeria? Yeah. Are you particularly close with him? Yeah. That's my best friend, cool. Is there any kind of a romantic relationship there? There has been. So, did Rick know about that? Yeah. Did he have a problem with you being still friends with him and working with him? No. I He He said he didn't want I mean, you could He would make comments here and there, you know, that were jealous-sounding, you know, and and you know, and everything, but he also knew how much money I had invested into doing all of the art, and the only way I was ever going to see that back is to sell it. So, that's why he kind of accepted that, and um that's what That's what caused the whole problem. To begin with, um when I was in jail before. Um I because I'm a soft-hearted idiot. I had listened to someone that I kind of thought of as like a daughter to me. And she was telling me all about how her fiancé was abusing her and abusing her in front of the baby and that she wanted to get away and so I kind of backdated a couple of documents for her. You know, I was like, "Okay, I'll give you a job you know, when you get out of here." And backdate this a little bit because the only way she said she could leave was to get a loan. Um when I got arrested for that, that's when Britt started going through um you know, paperwork, invoice through and realizing that I was not spending I wasn't spending all my money on taking care of us. That I had invested into doing yard. And that's when he realized that there was something starting romantically between Sunny and I and he sat there and said, "Oh, well, this you know, this check and this check I didn't authorize her to to do even though like I said, I've had I've had power of attorney and he used to sit there all the time and tell me, "You know, if you need this, you know, write a check for it." If he couldn't write me one, he'd be like, "You know, so there were several times throughout of course of it, but I knew he was mad and I knew he was hurt and I knew he was upset. So, I didn't even fight this. I was like, "You know what? I'll pay you back the money that you say you didn't authorize." And but the man had my car when supposedly I was you know, when I was in jail. He was driving my car, came and picked me up in my car. Wouldn't let me drive myself home. And when, you know, I was like, "I'm sorry. I understand you're upset. I understand you're hurt." and everything. And he was like, "Well, I want to work this out. I want to talk this out." I figured he was going to, you know, he put me in jail and was going to do whatever and you know, he was sitting there saying some unappealing you know, things about he could handle losing me to anything, you know, anybody else in the world, but not a [ __ ] Sorry, but that's exactly what he said. Um so, race was a serious issue and but we still worked on things and and worked them out. Just the way I mean, we've had a lot of fights over 24 years. We had a, you know, people do. And he he very much wanted everything his own way. Um I'd give you a very dominating person. What was this guy's name, the Nigerian? Hm? His name is Sunday. How do you spell that? Um well, it's Sunday is like the day of the week. I'm sorry. I'm really tired. I got up really early yesterday morning and things were not even my medicine is not coming to me. Um How often do you talk to Every couple days. But you don't remember how he's entered in your phone. Give me a minute and I will. Like I said, it's something affectionate. Um It's in there as my something. My love, my Give me a minute. It'll It'll come to me. It's my baby. That's it. Thank you. That's it. So he's in your phone as my baby, but you were back together with Rick. Well, not in the last I mean, like I said I've only been using that phone for a while. For a couple months. Okay. Because that's been Rick has not been there since I mean, I'll be perfectly honest. I never stopped having feelings for him. Um I went back with I went back to Rick out of you know, honor and duty and you know, we made a deal and I felt I felt bad and I felt responsible and you know, I loved him. I wasn't in love with him. But, you know I still loved him and wanted to take care of him and felt like no matter what I owed him taking care of him and about the time that I was thinking that maybe we needed to talk about how things were going to go is when he got COVID. It's when he got sick. And I wasn't I wasn't going to look at him and "Oh, maybe you need to try Kentucky again." Or, you know, you know, "I'm I'm too damn young for you." And "And you're too old and grumpy." And just We hadn't been deeply intimate for a long time. First and foremost, he was not physically capable. Any more than a man that had cancer twice, you know. Um it takes its toll on your love life. And But I mean, you know, we still hugged and kissed and, you know, and things. And So, were you still romantically involved with Sunday while he was there? Well, I mean It's I mean, Sunday and I talked. I've never met the man face-to-face. There's never been any You know, it's not like it was anything but talk. You know, texting stuff like that. I have never physically been with him. Did you consider him like a boyfriend? That only applies the way a relationship >> More like a fantasy. More like something that filled in the blanks. Right. I knew there was not going to I mean, we're 6,224 miles apart. Right. You know, I was with someone who was 22 years older than me. And not the most affectionate human being in the world. I had a midlife crisis and took some solace and comfort in, you know, someone sitting there talking to me. There was no physicality. No No anything like that. And Rick knew that. He But he was still at that point very burned up with You know, like I said, the man sat there and told me if if you would have said, you know, I've fallen in love with somebody, you know, we're too far apart, blah blah blah, I could accept that. But, you know, So, when Rick got COVID, did he get diagnosed with COVID or did he just refuse to go to the doctor at all? He just assumed He just refused to go to the doctor. We did the home test. Well, what started the whole thing is he had a serious sweet tooth. And I was sitting in the bedroom painting, and he came in and we were talking about, you know, the painting I was doing. And I would keep this little thing of Heath bars, little miniature Heath bars, on the desk. And he grabbed one and he was like, "When did they start making mint-flavored Heath bars?" They didn't, you know, I'm like, "What are you talking about?" He said, "No, they're mint-flavored. Try one." So, I tried it. It wasn't mint-flavored. I said, "No." So, then it's like, okay, well, he said, "They're good that way." Didn't think anything of it. Well, then he came in and said his coffee tasted like mint. And he said, "And everything's got a little metallic way to it." And I said, "Oh, I said, that's the kind of stuff that happened when I had COVID." I said, "Maybe we better, you know, better test you." And we did, and it came up positive. And um, you know, I called a friend of mine who's a doctor, and I said, "You know, so what's the recommended thing now to, you know, go in and Yeah. Okay, so you called the doctor friend. Did he give you some medicine to to give Rick? No, cuz at the time he wasn't I mean at that one time it was just like he had you know, a little off taste and a little runny nose and he felt perfectly fine and he had said no, um you know, he's like no, just let him ride it out. He said there's really nothing nothing that, you know that we recommend. He said as long as he's not burning up with fever or, you know, any of those things. He said if he gets a fever give him Tylenol. You know, but if it becomes significant, if it becomes respiratory then that's when you need to get him, you know, whether he wants to go or not you need to get him into the doctor. It never did. It never I mean like he had a little cough for a couple days, but his all stayed in his throat sinuses and ears. Um so he, you know, when I would sit there and be like you know, are you coughing? You know, are you feeling anything in chest? He'd be like, no, it's just this damn stuff in my ears and being dizzy all of the time. He said that's you know, and he said and that just needs to pass. He's like, I'm I'm not, you know, dying of coughing or, you know, I don't need a vent or any of that stuff. So that's why he just ignored to He hated being in the hospital. He'd been in the room. So it wasn't like super serious. More of a head cold. Well, he was dizzy all the time. I mean, it all No, the the throwing up was very serious. >> Right. But the and that's when I kept telling him you need to you know, but as long as he could okay, you know, at least once a day keep down a milkshake and you know, things like that. So, you you are 100% sure that your mother doesn't know any of the details of how he died or where he's been for the last year. Right. So, if I told you that we've already been talking to her and I have another investigator who's interviewing her at the same time and he's giving details that match pretty closely to what you're telling me. How would you explain that? He's a little naive and I didn't want anything bad to happen to my mom. I understand that. But I would rather take it on myself because it anything Like she didn't physically go help me. You know. Right. I understand. Nobody helped me, you know, do the you know, moving across the street or, you know, any way. I really didn't get a sense of that. I really exactly the way I felt. I really did. You didn't use a cart? Nope. I started to. A cart? Cart. Oh, I started to. But it was the box was not strong enough for it to >> the dolly cart thing that was kind of jerry-rigged together that was sitting inside the box in the storage unit. No, I that was that was put together long after that. What was that for? Just trying to move a bunch of heavy stuff. You know, and I was going to try and at least move that. I understand you're trying to protect her, okay, but in this situation, the best way to help yourself is to be completely honest You tell us everything now because we're going to follow up on all this stuff. We're going to check the bank accounts. We're going to check all of that stuff. And then when we start finding things that don't line up with what you tell us now, that just makes it look worse for you. Okay? So, going back through it all, is there anything that is not 100% correct that you've told us that you need to change it? Nothing I can Nothing I can think of off the top of my head. Um Let's go back to the account. You said one check, and then you said one or two. >> It was one or two. I And it's not going to end up being two or three or four or a dozen. No. No. So, there's a a year's worth of social security deposits in that bank. Right, because the Well, the checks Anything that was done for a certain time that he wrote to me, he was alive. Okay. So, once once he was no longer living, I I wrote one. But everything else that I did, he was alive at that time and authorized. And then when a bunch of them came back, that's when I had to deal with it. So, they were not paid out of his account. >> So, that stuff didn't come to you, Kelly? Yeah. But what's he doing and telling me stuff that and telling everybody stuff that 100% was not true. Just like when I went and spent, you know, and did all of the escrow money and everything in my name for the house. You know, I'm I'm trying. He couldn't wait to be on the phone telling his children, "We bought house." And can you know, like he contributed to you know, was primarily the one buying this house. And it's like, I I can't get you to to buy groceries. I mean, if we you know, if we wanted to if we need to get to the point where it's I can go back and throw it show you where Karen and I spent the last 20 years paying for almost everything. And if you look through his checking accounts and all of his documents, you will see it's cigarettes to the Miracle Mart, gas money, etc., etc., but there's nothing to a clothing store. There's nothing to you know, buying groceries. There's nothing to paying Amarin or a cell phone bill or you know, there might be one or one a year. So Because he was sitting there holding up money letting everybody else pay for his lights. So the bounced checks in Fulton County, that was while he was still alive? Yes. He was sick, but he was still alive. And didn't know what was that I had written them. So, okay. I I guess then what I asked you, um I was really confused when you know, the deputy you know, was like, "Okay, you're no longer in our custody." Mhm. You know, we talked to the state's attorney and they're going to come talk to you and see, you know, you know, figure where everything is. Um So, at this point do I still need to be talking to talking to the attorney and and seeing where Did I just make a huge mistake sitting here trying to trying to do the right thing? Right now, you've not been charged with anything. Okay. Um I'm only asking this. I mean I know there are con- there will be consequences for what it is. And and even if they are financial restitution and for a funeral, whatever. I you know if if there needs to be other things, then so be it. At this point, I guess I had this was a really At this point, I would love to sit down with the state's attorney or you or whoever needs to be done and and pull out all the paperwork and everything and just say, "This is it." It will come to that eventually. But right now we want to make sure you're all Well, that's one of our biggest concerns right now is obviously you have a problem and I feel it's serious enough that you need to go to a funeral. So Yeah, my phone is close by. I'm not I don't have a good That's what we're concentrating on right now. You're obviously able to talk to us, but that will not get you out of jail. We're not going to send you mail. Pay up to the landlord. Not going to send you a person. Not going to send you rent. First and foremost, yes, you are definitely going to be charged. You've had a man brought to justice in your jurisdiction for over a year. And there's no getting around it. There's no amount of talking that's going to get you out of it. No. I have I have very hard to leave that you did all that by yourself and you've already admitted in trying to take people to report to On that one though I'm not My mom is literally the only person that that knew and and like I said she did not she didn't She was in bed she would have been when I did it from the time from the time I got him you know which you know from the RV to she was in bed And I She didn't know when I did it Right She didn't know No >> Did any of your other family members know? No Not at all they're all going to be looking mighty shocked because I've been telling them the same thing that that you know he was over that you know recovering and living life they don't want peacefully and No not a single one of them has an utter clue and I would swear on my daughter's grave to that not a one and I'll tell you when I got over to that storage unit I was just a sweaty mess who couldn't breathe um paranoid freaked out thinking somebody was going to come around corner so don't bite I've always been I know I don't look tough right now like I when I was a teenager I used to work exteriors back in putting people's appliances in their in their vehicles for them. I I have more brown than brain, I guess. So, yes, there there will be a time and a place to address all of that. But, right now it's not going to be that time. Okay. All right. And back circling back around to what Sergeant Davis was asking you a little bit ago. I know you said you made some some error in judgment. For somebody that is who who has admittedly said they've got money problems. Right now already has warrants out for deceptive practice. You understand where we're coming from when we find out that somebody has been shoved in a storage unit. Yes, I do. I'm sorry. >> This is where we're telling you if if that if if what you're telling us is true, fine. We'll be it. But, we're going to figure it out though. Right, and that's why I said I would I would prefer to just sit down and bring everything to the table. All the all his documents, my documents, everything. I'm just I'm just going to bring completely brain empty here. Before we finish, we have to ask what situation like this. You said that he was abusive at least emotionally. Oh, yeah, he was never physically abusive. But, he was emotionally abusive. And you Do I want to say abusive or do I want to say Yeah. Yeah, I I I guess that. I don't And you got somebody that you're talking to and I totally understand that situation. Totally understand. Were you giving him more medications than maybe he needed trying to keep him just out of your hair. No. You were giving him any other drugs that was keeping him down, keeping him, you know, from being emotionally abusive to you. Oh, no. No. No. No. You were giving him anything that could have caused him to lose his balance? Anything like that? No. Everything everything that, you know, he was taking was things like, you know, to get his balance back and and for the nausea and and for all of that. That was you know, >> Are you familiar with over the counter? Over the counter. Yeah. And Um and I mean it half the time you know, half the time he would be like bring me my you know, bring me my medicine and then he would decide not to take it anyway. So, you know, he he took what he wanted to when he wanted to. You know, he was he was the one picking up his medicine. And he would >> All right. Well, see as I understand the situation, I understand that you were trying to help yourself get out of a situation. Right. And it went too far. Yeah. I would understand that. No. And I think other people would understand it, too. So, that's why I'm giving you the opportunity if that's what happened. Yeah. Do you want to say it? I I Because I in actuality, the more sleepy he was and the more you know, more he was in this position, the worse it was on me. Because he was you know, when he would get up and fall, I'm the one who had to get him up. You You I mean my back was breaking and I would look at him in tears and say, "Honey, please don't do this to me, you know? I My body can't take it." So, you're absolutely sure there's nothing but over-the-counter medications that's, you know, going to be in his blood when we do the autopsy? Should be nothing but. Should be or is nothing but? >> Well, to my knowledge, that's that's all there is. It's over-the-counter. Okay. I mean, like I said, he he had the ability to take what he wanted to, but I'm in tears. To my knowledge, the only thing he had sitting there was, you know, other than over-the-counter stuff was just things like Tylenol and Advil and so yeah. Okay. To my knowledge, that's it. All right. You have anything else? No. Well, I appreciate you talking to us. It helps us now a lot. Just trying to get the whole thing pieced together. Um at this point, with your condition the way it is, I've talked with the state's attorney and we're releasing you at this point. Now, that doesn't mean that there won't be charges later on. Right. You're not being held as of right now. So, there's not going to be any guards sitting with you or anything like that, okay? Okay. We are doing the reports and doing the investigation and, you know, there definitely was crimes here. So, >> Yeah. you know, there will probably be charges coming in the future. Okay. But, as of right now, you're not going back to jail as soon as you get released or anything like that, okay? So, because you know, I mean, like I said, if it's been 24 years of my life and did love him and all I could think about was so much for any dignity that I ever hoped to give him. Um So, does he go I mean, will something be Is he He is with the coroner's office right now. And then there'll be an autopsy scheduled probably Monday or Tuesday. And then after that, I I would assume the coroner will be reaching out to family to to make arrangements. That's what happens in the state. After the interrogation, Marcy was released pending further investigation, but after toxicology results revealed that Richard had died from tetrahydrozoline poisoning administered slowly over months, her charges were upgraded to murder. Though Marcy maintained that she did not kill Richard, in June 2025, a bench trial concluded with guilty verdicts for first-degree murder, attempted murder, and aggravated battery. Marcy was sentenced to 50 years in prison. But her legal fight isn't over. In December 2025, an appeal was filed and the case is now before the appellate court.
