Summary

“If I was divorced right now and ask you to marry me tomorrow, you would?” That’s what Kouri Richins texted her boyfriend three months before she killed her husband. She was already planning a future that required Eric Richins to not exist. In part two of our definitive series, we lay out the full architecture of the murder plan — the yearslong affair, the secret insurance policies totaling $2.2 million, the escalating drug purchases, and the failed poisoning on Valentine’s Day that should have been a warning no one could ignore. Eric told his family that if anything happened to him, Kouri was to blame. He said it clearly. He said it directly. And then he died exactly the way he predicted. The prosecution called it “learning from her mistake.” This episode traces every step of a plan that was never impulsive — it was scheduled.
