Kouri Richins: Eric Told Friends She Might Be Poisoning Him — Bobby Curley Told a Nurse. Both Men Died.

Eric Richins told people close to him after Valentine's Day 2022 that he thought Kouri might be poisoning him. He'd become violently ill out of nowhere. According to testimony, the concern was real.

A month later, prosecutors say Kouri made him a Moscow Mule laced with five times the lethal dose of fentanyl. He was dead by morning.

This is Part 2 of The Perfect Wife — examining victims who knew and still couldn't escape.

Bobby Curley knew too. In September 1991, he grabbed a nurse's arm and said the words:

"Please help me. My wife is trying to kill me. She is not as she seems."

Twelve hours later, his heart stopped.

Joann had been poisoning his iced tea with thallium for almost a year. He figured it out. He told someone. In a hospital.

And he died anyway.

Hair analysis later proved he'd been poisoned over eleven months. Nine hundred times the lethal dose. Two days before he died, Joann won $1.7 million in a lawsuit. She needed him dead before the check cleared.

Eric Richins saw something. Bobby Curley saw something. Both said it out loud. Neither survived.
