Kouri Richins Trial: Forensic Accountant Says Business Was "Imploding" — Eric's Warning to Family Revealed

Kouri Richins Trial: Forensic Accountant Says Business Was "Imploding" — Eric's Warning to Family Revealed

Before Eric Richins died with five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in his system, he told his family: if I die, look at her. He was secretly meeting with a divorce attorney. He told her not to contact him by email because he was afraid Kouri would read it. But around the same time, Kouri texted a close friend with her own warning: "If I die, Eric did it." This Hidden Killers Week In Review examines the most explosive testimony yet in the Kouri Richins murder trial.

The prosecution laid bare Kouri's finances through a forensic accountant who called her real estate business "imploding." Bounced checks. Hard money loans stacking up. By March 5, 2022—the day after Eric died—Kouri was $1.6 million in the red. Even liquidating everything wouldn't dig her out.

The timing is what prosecutors want the jury to see. Kouri committed to buying a $2.9 million mansion in December 2021 with no renovation money and high-interest debt coming due. She closed on the property the day after Eric died. One week later, she listed it for sale.

Former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke to break down the complete picture. Eric's warning to his family. The phone call where Kouri allegedly lied to her housekeeper about how he died. The Valentine's Day poisoning allegation. The boyfriend's texts. The insurance beneficiary changes.

But the defense has real ammunition—an immunized witness with a drug problem, a supplier who changed his story, and a cause of death the medical examiner won't call homicide. Faddis explains why the defense isn't contesting Kouri's financial disaster and whether betting the jury won't make the leap to murder is brilliant or catastrophic.

Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty.
