Kouri Richins Paid $2,500 for a Grief Book She Never Wrote

from Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary · host True Crime Today

She Googled “luxury prisons for the rich in america” while the investigation into her husband’s death was still open. She searched her own name and net worth. She checked whether deleted texts could be recovered and whether the FBI gets involved in cases like hers. And then she published a children’s book about grief, went on local television to promote it, and performed the role of devastated widow for fourteen months straight. In part four of our definitive series, we dismantle every layer of Kouri Richins’ cover-up — from the 800 deleted messages to the “Walk the Dog” letter found in her jail cell that prosecutors said was a word-by-word script for coached testimony. Her mother mailed the sheriff’s office an anonymous copy of the book with a note calling Kouri a “devoted wife and adoring mother.” Investigators traced it through Amazon. The performance was audacious. The evidence trail was catastrophic. And the jury needed less than three hours to see through all of it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
