They returned with another warrant five months later after Eric’s family, which had control of the property, discovered a safe in the master bedroom closet.
The warrant also cites conversations between Kouri and her mother, Lisa Darden, as cause to search the house again. On Oct. 24, 2023, Darden allegedly asked why the defense team couldn't let her in the house, and “Kouri could tell me exactly where it is I’m looking for.”

Two other newly public documents show investigators also seized two copper cups and two copper stirs the same week they searched the safe. Eric’s family had found them in a cupboard above the basement refrigerator.
