This episode of 20/20 The After Show dives deep into the real-life murder of Robert Doerr, a beloved 28-year veteran firefighter in Evansville, Indiana, who was fatally shot in his driveway on February 26, 2019. The episode explores the shocking betrayal within his family, revealing that his wife, Becky, and her sister’s fiancé, Larry Richmond Sr., were both convicted of the crime. Despite their claims of innocence, investigators uncovered a web of secrets: a secret affair between Becky and Larry, a suspicious phone call minutes before the murder, and a hidden note in a sympathy card that read 'We need to talk.' The case unraveled over years, culminating in Becky receiving a 60-year sentence and Larry life without parole. The emotional fallout tore families apart—especially as Larry Jr. testified against his father, and Mandy, Larry’s fiancée and Becky’s sister, struggled to reconcile her love for both her sister and her partner, despite their convictions. Exclusive prison interviews with Becky reveal her calm demeanor and unwavering claim of innocence, while Mandy shares her heartbreak and ongoing emotional connection to Larry, illustrating the complex, contradictory nature of love and loyalty in the aftermath of tragedy.
