Summary
On March 4, 2022, Eric, a successful stonemason and devoted father of three young boys — died suddenly after drinking a Moscow Mule his wife prepared for him. The cause? A lethal dose of fentanyl, five times the amount needed to kill. What followed shocked the nation: Kouri, the grieving widow, wrote and self-published a children’s book about coping with loss titled Are You With Me?, appearing on local TV to promote it while secretly facing mounting accusations.
Prosecutors say Kouri poisoned her husband for money — secretly opening nearly $2 million in life insurance policies without his knowledge, forging documents, and attempting to kill him weeks earlier on Valentine’s Day. She also allegedly had an extramarital affair and was drowning in debt. After a highly publicized three-week trial, a jury convicted Kouri Richins on March 16, 2026 of aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder, insurance fraud, and forgery.
She now faces 25 years to life in prison. Kelly Jennings of “Unspeakable: A True Crime Podcast by Kelly Jennings” breaks down the timeline, the evidence, the courtroom drama, and the heartbreaking impact on Eric’s family and their three sons. This is the full, unfiltered story of a picture-perfect family that hid a deadly secret.
