The Scot asked clairvoyant Karen Charves to be his bride six months after he was caught having an online affair with the mystic by his ex-wife, with whom he had been trying to rekindle a relationship.
Mr Richey was today reported as saying: “Things are going well for me right now. Karen and I have moved into our own place and are getting married.
“I asked her a few weeks ago. We haven’t set a date yet though.”
Mr Richey, who spent 21 years under the threat of execution in Ohio, is now living with Karen in Mississippi and believes he has turned a corner in life.
“I haven’t had a drink since July,” he reportedly said.
“I was in rehab for five weeks and now I go to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting every week. I also have a regular therapy session.”
