3:38 p.m. Grossman says he has tons of questions and thoughts but will save them for a call. Bloodworth asks Grossman if he met up with Kouri after Eric’s death. The first time was around two weeks after he died. Grossman says he and Kouri went up into the mountains. They sat in Kouri’s vehicle and talked for quite a while. “I had never seen her that way,” he says. “It was a heavy conversation and I’m not used to that with her. She’s not used to be open like that. At one point, my opinion then, probably still now looking back…I think she was exhausted emotionally.” Kouri is looking at Grossman while he speaks. During their conversation in the car, Kouri asked Grossman if he had ever killed anybody – referring to killing anybody while he was serving in Iraq. She then asked how it made him feel “or something along those lines.”
3:35 p.m. Text exchange is from April 15, 2022. Kouri writes, “I had 22 cops searching my damn house Wednesday for 8 hours. This




just keeps getting worse and worse.” Grossman responds, “Searching your house for what?” She responds, “The autopsy report isn’t done yet, but the toxicology report came back, and he had fentanyl in his system.” She goes on to complain about the cops not reading her rights and Eric’s weed gummies. She says that Eric does not do drugs and ate a ton of edibles. “This is all just so freaking stupid and crazy!”
