    Kouri Richins: Guilty on Every Count. The Mask Is Off.

    She bowed her head when the verdict was read. Five charges. Five guilty. A juror was wiping his eyes. Another stared directly at her. Three hours of deliberation after thirteen days of trial. In the final episode of our definitive five-part Kouri Richins series, we cover the reckoning — the trial, the zero-witness defense, Bloodworth’s devastating closing, and the three-hour verdict that ended the longest-running performance of Kouri Richins’ life.  The defense argued the investigation was sloppy and the evidence was circumstantial. The prosecution argued that circumstantial evidence built into a mountain the defense never tried to climb. Kouri now faces 25 years to life or life without parole, plus 26 additional felony charges in a separate case. But the real cost is measured in the people she destroyed — the husband she killed, the boys she orphaned, and the family that spent three years proving what happened. The last mask is off. There’s nothing left underneath. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

    Kouri Richins Couldn’t Spell Fentanyl But Used It to Kill

    She searched “if someone is poisned what does it go down on the death certificate as.” Not overdosed. Poisoned. Her own word. In part four of our five-part definitive series, we lay out the digital evidence and public performances that sealed Kouri Richins’ conviction. Over 800 deleted text messages. A new phone loaded with searches about fentanyl dosages, prison conditions, and whether the FBI was coming for her.  A children’s grief book she paid a ghostwriter $2,500 to write, then promoted on local television with a promo code. A six-page letter from her jail cell coaching her family to tell her attorney that Eric got fentanyl from Mexico — a story she’d never told police, investigators, or anyone else in any official capacity. And an anonymous package her mother sent to the sheriff containing the book and a note declaring Kouri a “devoted wife and adoring mother.” The prosecution called it consciousness of guilt. The jury agreed. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

    Kouri Richins Hired a Locksmith Two Days After Eric Died

    Unlock at 3:06 a.m. Speaker at 3:08. The 911 call two minutes later. That’s the timeline. No frantic calls to family. No calls to friends. Just a precise, measured sequence that suggests a woman who knew exactly what she was about to report. In part three of our five-part definitive series, we walk through the night Kouri Richins killed her husband with a fentanyl-laced Moscow Mule and the first 72 hours that followed — the hours in which she closed on a property deal, drilled open Eric’s safe, punched his sister in the face when she learned the estate had been restructured, and texted her drug supplier for more pills. She told police Eric died of a brain aneurysm. She maintained that story for over a year. The autopsy said otherwise: illicit fentanyl, orally ingested, at five times the concentration needed to be fatal. The man she killed had already removed her from his will. She just didn’t know it until it was too late. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  4. Kouri Richins Bought Fentanyl at a Gas Station. Twice.

    HACE 3 DÍAS

    Kouri Richins Bought Fentanyl at a Gas Station. Twice.

    She bought the pills. She asked for stronger ones. She asked for the strongest thing available. And then she put them in her husband’s drink. In part two of our definitive five-part Kouri Richins series, we follow the fentanyl from a gas station in Draper, Utah, to Eric Richins’ bloodstream. The procurement chain ran through Carmen Lauber, Kouri’s housekeeper, who testified she bought drugs at Kouri’s request and was told the pills were for “an investor.” The investor never existed. Cell phone data confirmed every purchase. Text messages revealed Kouri was simultaneously planning a future with her boyfriend while stacking nearly $2 million in secret life insurance on the husband she was about to eliminate. Eric survived a poisoned sandwich on Valentine’s Day and told his family his wife was trying to end his life. Two weeks later, she switched to a cocktail and used five times the lethal dose. She wasn’t taking chances anymore. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  5. Kouri Richins: The Prenup Clause That Made Murder Pay

    Kouri Richins: The Prenup Clause That Made Murder Pay

    A prenuptial agreement. One clause. If Eric Richins died while they were married, Kouri would inherit everything. Divorce meant walking away with nothing. Death meant millions. That single clause in a document signed on their wedding day became the engine of a murder that a jury needed less than three hours to see through. In this first installment of our five-part definitive series, we examine the woman behind the mask — the $7.5 million debt spiral, the $250,000 line of credit taken without her husband’s knowledge, the fifteen failed renovation projects, and the forensic accountant who testified that Kouri’s financial enterprise was collapsing so completely that selling everything she owned wouldn’t have gotten her back to zero. We reveal how Eric quietly restructured his estate in 2020 to protect his children after discovering her fraud — and how Kouri, who didn’t know she’d been cut out, accelerated her plan. Eric Richins wasn’t her husband. He was her insurance policy. And when he tried to protect himself, she cashed him in.

  6. Three Innocent Children that the Kouri Richins’ Verdict Can't Fix

    Three Innocent Children that the Kouri Richins’ Verdict Can't Fix

    The verdict is in. Kouri Richins is guilty of charges that she poisoned her husband with fentanyl. But this part that still lands like a gut punch — She wrote a children's book about his death and went on television to promote it. The jury took three hours. Three hours to convict her on all counts. Apparently, they didn't need much time. But verdicts don't raise kids. Her three sons were 9, 7, and 5 when Eric Richins died. They're preteens now, living with his family, trying to grow up under the weight of something most adults couldn't carry — a father gone, a mother in prison, and somewhere out there, a book she wrote using their grief as the raw material. This episode isn't about Kouri. It's about what research and case history actually tell us about children who land in exactly this position. We look at betrayal trauma — the specific psychological damage that happens when the person who was supposed to protect you was also the threat — and we pull the thread on two cases that rhyme with this one: Susan Wright's kids, quietly absorbed into their father's family after her 2003 conviction, and Betty Broderick's sons, who grew up split down the middle on whether their mother deserved to die in prison. Kouri's case has one element none of the comparisons do. The book. She wrote it. She sold it. She used her sons' loss as the vehicle — and according to testimony, it's part of what put her away. Those boys will be searching their own story for the rest of their lives. There's no chapter for what comes next.

  7. Kouri Richins: What Eric Knew — and What It Cost Him

    Kouri Richins: What Eric Knew — and What It Cost Him

    Eric Richins knew something was wrong. He documented it. He restructured his estate, told his attorney he was protecting his children from his wife, and took legal steps to put his fear on the record. And then he died in that house anyway. This week on Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, and retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke examine the human story underneath the Kouri Richins conviction — and the parallel case of Mike Williams, whose wife Denise held her version of this story together for seventeen years before it broke. Mike Williams vanished on a duck hunting trip in December 2000. His mother Cheryl was told she was paranoid for fighting the official story. Denise collected $1.75 million in insurance and married the man who killed her husband. They raised Mike's daughter together. Cheryl kept fighting for seventeen years. She was right. The con broke when Brian Winchester decided his own survival mattered more than Denise's secret. The Kouri Richins case broke the same way. The friend. The boyfriend. The housekeeper. People who were inside the orbit of this relationship and stayed quiet — until a Utah courtroom gave them no other option. Shavaun Scott brings her clinical expertise to the piece of this story that matters most to anyone who recognizes it from the inside. The love bombing at the beginning. The coercive control in the middle. The gaslighting that makes the person being harmed question their own perception of reality. And the exit — the most dangerous moment in any relationship like this, the point at which prosecutors allege Eric Richins' quiet move toward freedom may have preceded the night he died. Eric documented his fear. He tried to protect his children. He deserves to have the full picture of what happened to him understood. This is Part 5 of The Perfect Wife.
