Are You With Me? The Murder of Eric Richins Part 2 of 2 | The Kouri Richins True Crime Story

from Hitched 2 Homicide · host Kris Calvert and Rob Pottorf

*This is Part 2 of our series on the murder of Eric Richins. Start with Episode 1 if you haven't already. March 4th, 2022. Eric Richins, a 39-year-old husband and father, is found dead in his Kamas, Utah home. Toxicology reveals illicit fentanyl at five times the lethal concentration. He had no history of drug use. As the official investigation stalled, Kouri Richins — Eric's wife — quietly began filing claims on his life insurance policies. His family, unconvinced by the narrative she was spinning, hired a private investigator. What he uncovered changed everything. A pattern of financial fraud. Evidence of infidelity. A motive that had been building for years inside what looked, from the outside, like an ordinary Utah marriage. And then the friends started talking. The people Kouri had confided in, leaned on, and counted on to stand beside her, began telling Summit County authorities a very different story. In Part 2 of Are You With Me? — The Poisoned Marriage and Murder of Eric Richins — we follow the private investigation, the witness accounts, and the moment the case shifted from a stalled inquiry to a homicide prosecution.
