Kouri Richins’ Entire Life Was a Lie. Now We Prove It.

She performed the role of successful entrepreneur, devoted wife, and grieving widow so convincingly that she landed a spot on local television to promote a children’s grief book she paid a ghostwriter $2,500 to write. But behind Kouri Richins’ carefully constructed image was a financial catastrophe — $7.5 million in debt, a business built on forged signatures and unauthorized credit lines, and a prenuptial agreement that turned her husband’s death into the only viable exit strategy. In part one of our definitive five-part series, we trace the roots of a murder that began long before fentanyl ever entered the picture. From the Park City cleaning jobs that fueled her ambition to the estate planning attorney who testified about Eric’s desperate efforts to protect his children, this episode maps the distance between who Kouri Richins pretended to be and who she actually was. Prosecutor Brad Bloodworth framed it in one devastating line: “Kouri Richins is an intensely ambitious person. She is a risk-taker. There was a way forward — Eric had to die.” The mask, the money, and the motive. This is where the story begins.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
