In March 2022, Kouri and Eric Richins were apparently celebrating the purchase of a new multi-million dollar home.  Kouri made her husband a Moscow Mule and took it to him in bed, as part of the celebrations.  Kouri went to bed and when she woke, she found Eric cold and dead in their bed.

After he died, Kouri wrote a children’s book regarding grief titled ‘Are you with me?’ 

Police eventually determined that Eric died from a fentanyl overdose.  

Following a police investigation, police determined that Kouri allegedly purchased the fentanyl on the black market, days before Eric died.  She had also taken out numerous life insurance policies on her husband.  Eric had learned of some of the life insurance changes before his death, and he wrote Kouri out of his will.  When she found this out, she assaulted a family member of Eric’s.

In May 2023, Kouri was arrested and charged one first degree felony count of aggravated murder, as well as three second degree felony counts of possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance.

There has been a huge update in the case of missing person Beau Mann.  We first covered Beau’s case in February 2022.  In April 2023, Beau’s remains were found in the yard of an abandoned building in Santa Monica, just 0.2 miles from where he was dropped off in an Uber.  

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the cases of Wicked Wife, Kouri Richins and the recovery of Beau Mann.
