How Did Kouri Richins Write a Grief Book and Mean Every Word?
About this episode
This episode explores the disturbing psychology behind Kouri Richins' actions as a grieving widow and the compartmentalization of her identity.
For fourteen months, Kouri Richins walked through a community as a grieving widow. She closed deals. She socialized. She published a children's book and went on television. Friends testified at trial that she seemed like a good mother dealing with a terrible loss. Nobody saw through it.The reason nobody saw through it is the subject of this episode — and it's more disturbing than you'd expect. Because Kouri wasn't suppressing tells or fighting micro-expressions. In the psychological compartment she occupied during those fourteen months, she WAS a grieving mother. The compartment where she put fentanyl in Eric's drink was sealed. She wasn't visiting it. And the sincerity that comes from genuinely inhabiting a constructed identity is what makes this kind of psychology undetectable to the people closest to it.Part two of a five-part series breaking down the decision-making of a broken brain. The 911 call. The searches. The book. The television appearance. And the question nobody finds a satisfying answer to: did she believe her own story?
