Kouri Richins: Killer Turned Author // 596

About this episode

The episode discusses the murder of Eric Richins and the trial of his wife, Kouri Richins, who was accused of the crime.

In March of 2022, a 39-year-old father of three was found dead in his Utah home from what originally appeared to be an aneurysm. But later, this determination would be amended to reveal that he had been murdered. After a shocking arrest that took over a year to secure, it was up to the court to decide if this business owner and devoted husband and dad had been living a secret life steeped in drug addiction or if he was merely the unsuspecting victim. This is the murder of Eric Richins, and the explosive trial that just concluded in March of this year for his wife, Kouri Richins.
