Why did Becky Fox-Doerr murder her husband Robert Doerr?

52-year-old Becky Fox-Doerr seemingly lived a perfect life with Robert Doerr, a veteran firefighter. They even had four kids, Robert’s daughter, Lindsey Doerr, and Becky's three sons, Nathaniel Guthrie, Dustin Barrett, and Taylor Barrett. Robert was a father figure to Becky's children and the household seemed to be blissful.

But it all changed on the night of February 26, 2019, when Becky called 911 to report that her husband had been shot multiple times outside their home. She reportedly saw the headlights of his car shortly before hearing the gunshots.

As the police reached the scene, Becky seemed inconsolable. He was pronounced dead immediately. No one had seen who did it.

The police began investigating immediately and learned a shocking secret. The investigators discovered a letter written by Robert that seemed to indicate that Becky was involved in an extramarital affair. The police soon seized Becky's phone for investigation and discovered that she had made a call to Larry Richmond Sr., who was engaged to Becky's sister, Mandy Fillmore. Moreover, Becky had also deleted this call from her log, which seemed to deepen the suspicion.

Soon, the police also found that Larry Richmond Jr. had acquired a stolen Taurus Judge gun from a pawn shop, which was also the gun Robert Doerr was murdered with. Larry Richmond Sr also provided some crucial evidence against his son, including a letter that Larry wrote about being implicated in the murder if the gun was ever found.

This made it clear that Becky was having an extramarital affair, because of which she plotted to kill her husband. All this combined gave authorities enough reason to arrest and charge Becky Fox-Doerr.
