The Kouri Richins case is one of the most disturbing true crime stories in recent years—a wife, mother, and author convicted of killing her husband, Eric Richins, using fentanyl in a calculated plan driven by money, debt, and deception.
In this episode of True Crime Report, Jim Rathmann breaks down the full timeline of events, from the attempted poisoning on Valentine’s Day to the fatal overdose just weeks later. We dive into the key evidence, including deleted text messages, secret life insurance policies, and the shocking role of a housekeeper in obtaining drugs.
This case goes beyond murder—it’s about manipulation, financial desperation, and the chilling lengths someone will go to for a new life. From the suspicious behavior immediately after the death to the eerie release of a children’s grief book titled Are You With Me?, every detail raises more questions.
