She Poisoned Her Husband. Then She Wrote a Grief Book. | The Murder Tape Khronicles

Kouri Richins gave her husband Eric a Moscow Mule on the night of March 4, 2022. He never woke up. The toxicology report found fentanyl in his system at five times the lethal threshold. What happened next is one of the most calculated post-murder performances in recent American true crime history: Kouri published a children's grief book called Are You With Me? — while under active murder investigation for his death. This episode covers the full forensic case: the drug supplier testimony, the financial motive, the search history, the defense's secret-addiction theory, and the Summit County jury that deliberated for approximately three hours before returning a guilty verdict on aggravated murder. The sentencing is set for Eric Richins' birthday. The book is still online. The Murder Tape Khronicles — forensic true crime investigations. New episodes weekly.
