The senseless murder of firefighter Robert “Robbie” Doerr in his own driveway sent shockwaves through Evansville, Indiana, launching a five-year quest for justice. ABC’s 20/20 examines this bewildering case, exploring a narrative of alleged betrayal and deception that centers around Robbie’s widow, Elizabeth “Becky” Fox-Doerr.
Did grief drive Becky to desperate measures, or was she the mastermind behind her husband’s demise? 20/20 presents a compelling examination of the evidence, including never-before-seen bodycam footage and police interviews, painting a vivid picture of the investigation. Prosecutors contend that Becky, entangled in an alleged affair with her sister’s fiancé, Larry Richmond Sr., orchestrated Robbie’s murder.
In a candid and exclusive interview, Becky breaks her silence, vehemently denying any involvement in her husband’s death and the accusations of infidelity. Meanwhile, Larry, awaiting trial in 2025, maintains his innocence. The conflicting accounts raise perplexing questions: Who is telling the truth? And what truly happened on that fateful day?
20/20 also features interviews with those closest to the case: Robbie’s daughter, Lindsey Griffin; Becky’s sister and Larry’s ex-partner, Mandy Fillmore; the prosecuting attorneys, Diana Moers and Stan Levco; and Becky’s defense team, Mark and Rob Phillips. Their perspectives offer a glimpse into the tangled web of relationships and motives surrounding Robbie’s tragic end. Will their insights illuminate the path to truth, or will they further obscure the already murky waters of this complicated case?
20/20 airs Friday, November 8, 2024, at 9/8c on ABC.
