BLACK WIDOW: The Kouri Richens Case
About this episode
The episode discusses the Kouri Richens case, where she was convicted of murdering her husband after multiple attempts to poison him for financial gain.
I’m sure you’ve all heard the adage, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” Or perhaps, “The third time’s the charm.” Well, Kouri Richens did, as she tried 3 times to poison her husband with narcotics before succeeding in 2022. Ms. Richens has just been convicted of murder and attempted murder of her husband Eric. The motive? The oldest in the book: MONEY! She felt she didn’t have enough, so she took out life insurance policies on Eric. She even took out policies on her 3 young children. Luckily, she was caught before she could harm them! In addition, she actually wrote a book for children on grieving for a lost parent before she was arrested entitled: "Are You With Me?" I kid you not! My guest today is Kathleen McKenna Hewtson whose book, "Dream House - The Home to Die For," a deep-dive into the case BEFORE Richens was tried and just recently convicted.
