Kouri Richins: The Cycle — Her Past, Her Children, and What the Experts Say

The Kouri Richins case doesn't begin with Eric's death. It begins much earlier — in a history that, when laid next to the alleged behavior on trial, starts to look like a roadmap. And it doesn't end with a verdict. It continues with five children who are now living inside consequences they had no part in creating.

In Part 3 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 the full arc: where Kouri Richins allegedly came from, what that background does to a person's relationship with honesty and survival, and what the research says about children processing the very public, very extreme collapse of a parent. The panel also takes on the painful irony at the heart of this case — that the alleged attempt to secure a better life may have guaranteed the worst possible outcome for the very children it was supposedly meant to protect.

This is Part 3 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.
