Kouri Richins: the grief book
Video · 7:29 · Watch on YouTube
Kouri Richins built a public identity as a grieving widow and children's-grief author — a year after she poisoned her husband, Eric, with fentanyl. Beneath that performance, Eric's own family carried the warning he had given before he died: look at her. This is the story beneath the grief.
Kouri Richins was convicted March 16, 2026 of aggravated murder, attempted murder, forgery, and two counts of insurance fraud, and sentenced May 13, 2026 — what would have been Eric's 44th birthday — to life in prison without the possibility of parole. She is appealing.
