Who killed Richard and Brenda Do you have the clue to finding the real killer or killers?
The county of Livingston was shocked by the murders of Richard and Brenda Kowalski in
2008. Richard and Brenda lived in Howell on a 10 acre plot at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac.
Brenda had two sons from a former marriage when she married Richard. Richard was CFO for
Lason, Inc. It was learned through a source that Richard was asked “to cook the books” by some
of the top Lason executives. He retired from the company in early 1996. The company went
public in 1997 and in 2000 the SEC determined that Lason’s officials had falsified financial
records causing investors to lose millions of dollars.
In May of 2008, one of Brenda’s sons discovered their bullet-ridden bodies at their home
and implicated an uncle. After an investigation by the state police and jury trial presided by then
judge Theresa Brennan, Jerry Kowalski, who is the brother of Richard Kowalski, was found
guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment in 2013. However, there is enough reason for many
people to believe that Jerry did not receive a fair and impartial trial and that the real killer or
killers have not been found. Jerry was wrongly convicted solely by a confession extracted under
duress, a confession that did not coincide with one fact of how the the murders were committed
or evidence left at the crime scene. No DNA, no gun, no plausible motive, no evidence. Mr.
Kowalski had no first-hand knowledge of how the murders occurred. The judge did not allow
any evidence or testimony that would negate the prosecution’s version of the crime. This judge
has since been removed from the bench due to her misconduct starting before and continuing
during the trial with the state police officer who was investigating the murders. Due to that
misconduct, Jerry Kowalski’s conviction was set aside in early 2020 and he has been granted a
new trial.
The people who are most familiar with this case, who have been working on it for the past
13 years, and are seeking to prove his innocence need your help to present new evidence at Mr.
Kowalski’s retrial. Your tip or information could be the key to finding the real killer(s) which
would be the best way to prove Mr. Jerry Kowalski’s innocence.
