In the search warrant, detective Jeff H. O’Driscoll with the Summit County Sheriff’s Office wrote that he discovered the partner of Lisa Darden, Kouri’s mother, died in 2006. Darden’s partner died from an overdose of oxycodone.

O’Driscoll also noted that Darden had been named the partner’s beneficiary just before her death.

According to the search warrant, Darden’s partner did have prescriptions for oxycodone and struggled with prescription drug abuse. Despite this, she was not “in a state of recovery from addiction at the time of her death.”
