Summary
Kouri Richins allegedly texted her boyfriend Josh Grossman while married to Eric: "If I was divorced right now and asked you to marry me tomorrow, you would?"
She had a secret $250,000 HELOC. Prosecutors say she searched for fentanyl while Eric was alive.
This is Part 3 of The Perfect Wife — examining the premeditated mind. Women living two complete realities. The wife their husbands knew. And someone else entirely.
Melanie McGuire perfected this pattern. On April 28, 2004, she signed mortgage papers with her husband Bill for their first home. He called friends afterward, excited.
That night, she allegedly shot him, dismembered him, and packed him into three Kenneth Cole suitcases.
Two days later — still disposing of his body — she filed a restraining order against him. Built her alibi while his remains were in her car.
Her Google searches convicted her: "Undetectable poisons." "How to commit murder." Not frantic searching. Research. Methodical comparison of methods.
Bill thought they were starting a new life. He signed the papers. He had no idea.
The premeditated mind doesn't snap. It calculates. It signs mortgage papers on a house it knows you'll never see.
