Summary
Eric Richins called his business partner on Valentine’s Day 2022 with fear in his voice. He’d just eaten a sandwich his wife made him and couldn’t breathe. He broke out in hives. He grabbed his son’s EpiPen. And he told his friend what he believed was happening: his wife was trying to end his life. Two weeks later, he was dead. In part two of our five-part definitive series, we dissect the plan behind Kouri Richins’ murder of her husband — a plan built on three pillars. The affair with a handyman she controlled financially and emotionally. The $2.2 million in life insurance she stacked on Eric’s life through forged applications and secret policies. And the fentanyl she procured in escalating doses through her housekeeper, each purchase confirmed by cell phone location data that neither woman thought to hide. This is the story of how a suburban mom who couldn’t spell “fentanyl” obtained enough of it to ensure her husband would never wake up again.
