Eric Richins knew something was wrong. In the fall of 2020, he discovered that his wife had been draining his finances — taking out unauthorized credit lines, accumulating debt in his name, and running a house-flipping business that was hemorrhaging money behind his back. He consulted a divorce attorney. He met with an estate planner. He created a trust to protect his three sons. And he did all of it in silence, because the man she married no longer trusted her with his family’s future. In part one of our definitive series on the Kouri Richins case, we reveal the financial architecture that led to murder — a prenuptial agreement that made death more profitable than divorce, $7.5 million in collapsing debt, and a woman whose ambition outpaced her ability by a factor that a forensic accountant described as “imploding.” Kouri Richins wasn’t just unhappy in her marriage. She was trapped in a financial disaster of her own making with exactly one way out. This is the foundation of a five-part story that will redefine how you understand this case.
