Young Woman Self Exits W/ Gun Longer Than Arms In Mayor's Home - 2 Yrs Later Another Girl Is Dead
3/26/20261 hr 12 min
Two officers from the Kotzebue, Alaska Police Department enter a living room and ask the two small children watching SpongeBob, “Did someone call the police?”
One just points to a bedroom door. Inside, a man, Anthony, cradles a young woman’s body drenched in blood. He says she’s his girlfriend, Jennifer. That he too, was just watching SpongeBob in the living room when he heard a ‘pop’ from the bedroom and found her with a ‘self-inflicted’ gun shot wound to her chin.
An investigation begins. The rifle used measures 27 and 1/8th inches long from barrel to trigger. Jennifer’s arm is 26 and 3/16th inches long. Nothing comes of it. The medical examiner observes red strangulation marks around Jennifer’s neck. The investigation is over within one day. Jennifer’s death is declared a self exit.
They don’t test for gunshot residue on the boyfriend, Anthony.
They don’t look into his past record of abuse and SA.
After all, Anthony lives with his father, Clement Richards Senior, the mayor of the Northwest Arctic Borough. Surely this was a horrific one time tragic event…
Two years later another young woman’s body is found one again, at the mayor’s home.

6:00 PM in Kotzebue, Alaska. It means absolutely nothing because in Kotzebue, it's always either very bright or always very dark. There is... I mean, that's really not a metaphor. This is not something deeper. It's always either sunny all day long until you drive yourself crazy at night because you need to block out any light that's coming in through the window so that you can fall asleep at 11:00 PM, or you get three hours of sunlight the entire day, and then you just live in perpetual darkness. There is no middle
