Kouri Richins: Eric's Family Saw It Coming — Psychology & FBI Break It Down

From the moment Eric Richins' family walked through that door the night he died, something felt wrong. They couldn't prove it. They had no legal standing. They just knew. And then they spent years and six figures trying to make the world believe them.

In Part 2 of this three-part psychological panel series, Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke to examine what that experience actually is — and what it does to a family. The psychology of immediate gut instinct in a crisis. The specific helplessness of watching a loved one stay in a relationship that feels dangerous. Why people inside these relationships so often choose their partner over the family warning them. And the distinct, layered trauma of grief that comes not from shock — but from confirmation of what you always feared was true.

This is Part 2 of a three-part series. Every part stands alone.

Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
