From Crime Watch Daily's website:
The entire focus of the investigation is about to shift to a man police say had an obsession with Kris Richardson. The letters are from a man named Bud Boyles. But who is he? And did he have anything to do with the disappearance of Kris Richardson?
"Bud Boyles was a truck driver for Richardson Trucking, had worked for them for a while," said Det. Hatcher. "Over the years he got a friendship with a lot of the drivers, with Kristi Richardson again but his kind of went a little more than the other drivers. He wanted to pursue something a little more romantic relationship with her."
Come to find out, Kris's children tell our Jason Matera they knew about the letters.
"She mentioned it to us a couple of times about, he had written her a letter or called her one day, but never did she say 'I need someone to take care of this,' or 'I need to call the police,'" said Kris's daughter, Amber Fazio.
Kris never contacted authorities. Instead she told her husband.
"My dad confronted him one day at Richardson Trucking and said, 'You're crazy, I don't know what your deal is, she's not interested, and knock it off,'" said Amber.
Kris's children thought it ended then and there. But it didn't.
"He continued to call her and tell her that he didn't understand, he loved her, and why was she not loving him back," said Amber.
When Kris's husband passes away, her children say Bud Boyles didn't miss a beat. In less than 48 hours, he was back at it.
At this point, Kris begins to save the letters in Bud's employee file. Kris's kids claim this a tangible paper trail.
In a Crime Watch Daily exclusive, the elusive letters buried in Bud Boyles' employee file are finally exposed.
Detectives find no evidence Kris ever reciprocated or had any romantic interest in Bud Boyles.
In fact, according to her children, in days leading up to her disappearance, she became increasingly afraid of him.
"At a certain point in time she got uncomfortable with him being in the office without another person around and so she always made sure if she knew he was going to be there if he was coming that someone else was there as well," said Kris's daughter Tracy Richardson.
And Kris may have had good reason to be terrified. Even though Bud Boyles has never been charged in the disappearance of Kris Richardson, detectives agree the letters seem to express an extreme infatuation and escalating anger.
Then just like that, according to Amber, Bud Boyles quits working for Richardson Trucking.
Days later, Kris vanishes. A coincidence?
Detectives question Boyles. He has an alibi for the day Kris went missing -- all except for three crucial hours.
Is Bud Boyles hiding something? Crime Watch Daily wanted to find out from the man himself. But there was no answer at the door when Crime Watch Daily visited his home, and he did not answer his cellphone.
Crime Watch Daily tracks down Bud Boyles for an exclusive, first-ever on camera interview, about the mysterious disappearance of a wealthy business woman who cops say was his secret obsession and the object of his desires.
Crime Watch Daily affiliate KTWO's Mark Hyman found Bud Boyles at his workplace in Casper, Wyoming.
"Everybody seems to know more about it than I do. I hear this stuff coming down the pike and wonder where it originates," said Boyles.
"I worked for her for 10 years, we got along pretty good," said Boyles. "When Ronnie passed away, I left because I was the only owner-operator and I knew I didn't have a future there because he was the reason I stayed for those 10 years,and that's all I have to say."
A $250,000 reward was put up by Kris's children for any information that will help find their mother.
If you have any information related to the disappearance of Kristi Richardson, you are urged to contact the Casper Police Department at (307) 235-8278.
