@@cheyennern6723 Right? I was sitting there watching her first interview play on TV tonight, ( even though I'm from New Zealand, I saw it the day it aired, and remembered thinking how awesome to turn a tragedy onto a positive) and I was intently watching her body language while she was telling the story thinking how? How can you intentionally damage your children like that? And not even consider that those poor children knew their Father had died, and now or soon, they're anout to find out their Mom did it for the money. The book was a bonus 🤨
Exactly. *We aren't allowed to benefit financially when we commit murder. Does anybody know, since she hasn't been convicted yet, is her book still for sale.?
Thank you, Lauren, for this comprehensive review of the Kouri Richins case. Sadly, the willingness of some people to commit horrific crimes no longer shocks me. I wish I could believe otherwise.
Yeah she may have a masters but as Dr John said having to research how to greave. Weird, last part me not dr john. I mean did you read the so called Mexico murder 61 page new book. 😂😂😂
I kept saying, *No Kourie, we DON'T know! But we do know that you poisoned your husband and didn't care one ounce about your children and their grief when you did so. Shame on you!!!"
The deception is insane! She stole money from her husbands business and opened several life insurance policies? Evil woman with that let alone poisoning him!
Im realising how crazy listening to this vid not knowing anything about this case. 😅😅 It’s crazy all the the things, love the quote, “They don’t catch the smart criminals” 😂😂😂😂😂
She had the usual, boyfriend and financial crisis... Luckily she's not bright so she got caught. She has made her children estranged from their dad's family. She's a monster.
LAUREN!!!! This is THEE best report I've seen....possibly ever. No kidding. I think you are star quality. Thank you for this perfectly done synopsis. ❣
We went ahead with my uncle's 80th birthday party about 14 days after my mom died of cancer just because it was a good way to get the whole family together. Then we had another huge party after my mom's memorial service. But yes in this case it is very bizarre.
Thank you so much for outlining the series of events in this case and the evidence is so overwhelming. I can't wait for the trial. Following this case all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦
its hard for me not to victim blame in this scenario... after he thought that his sandwich was poisoned,... what was keeping him attached to her?!?!?! why did he have to accept that moscow mule 😰😰😰😭😭😭
@@toericabakerI’m a father of 3 and If I thought my wife could possibly be trying to poison me I can tell you my instincts would be to change all beneficiaries to someone else (he did that) and i wouldn’t be leaving my kids alone with her. It makes sense he stayed imo, he wasn’t 100% sure she was trying to “off,” him, only speculating and from all reports he was talking or talked to a divorce attorney and obviously changed his will. I believe she had policies on their two kids too…it’s not as simple as just “leaving.” I’d never leave my kids alone with her… he wanted to keep eyes on things, I get it…
@@Kassel1982 yeah, its complicated.. but, couldnt he have involved some expensive custody lawyers or PIs? He'd have found out that she was buying dr*gs that way, her affair. Another strike against her ability to get custody was that she didnt have a successful job, and there was evidence of her stealing. I think he would have had a shot at full custody. He still sat down with her (after the sandwich incident!) to consider flipping that huge house with her. He was definitely not just trying to keep an eye on the children...like cytobi said, its a "no win" situation... if he had left and had to share custody, she may well have taken life insurance out on kids (can you do that?) But imo something else was going on there besides the kids. maybe he was seriously emotionally enmeshed.. maybe being a mormon made divorce seem impossible? Its not straight forward and of COURSE i blame the MURDERER for his death, but watching it from the outside is just so frustrating and sad to see 😥😢 what do you think?
And I believe she had a party at their house the day after he died! WTF I was with my beautiful husband nearly 44 years & in 2025 it’s five years since I lost him & I can only live one day at a time ❤️🩹 my heart is forever broken 💔 She is heartless & disgusting!
Thank you, Lauren, along with Dr. John, whether alone or with Dr. John, you both speak the truths of such evil subhumans with so much empathy for all of their victims!
@@markengle2199he feared that she was trying to poison him. Why did he continue to eat/drink what she gave him? The trick to out these killers is to force them to eat the poisoned food. If they refuse, you've got her.
@Katrina-qs2rl we don't know if it's true that he was still eating & drinking stuff she made, that was just one story of what happened. She also said that he made his own. What if she put it in a drink he made for himself (or at least watched her make) and she found an opportune time while he was in the bathroom or something to mix the drvgs in afterwards? We don't truly know how she got him to ingest so much. We obviously can't trust anything she says.
The train wreck that is Kouri Richins just continues to derail. She was all about the money and all about her. She is as narcissistic as it comes. Imo she is as guilty as sin. I don't normally say this. To me, it is innocent until proven guilty. But something about her just rings wrong. Seriously, throwing a party just after he dies? I hope that justice will be served in this one.
First here!! Love Hidden True Crime! Lauren & John are such a perfect team! Also love this community of fellow hidden gems! I hope everyone is having a good day ❤
lol, I usually clean stalls listening to Lauren! Despite the horrific content, the horses and I are relaxed and engaged. Today I am in bed sick with the crud. Sadly my babies miss out on your voice today Lauren.
I found it interesting that she said on the morning show that in researching for the book “Researching how to grieve as a wife.” Instead of how to deal with grief as a wife- like she actually was trying to figure out how to appear to be a grieving wife and not be suspicious. Obviously she isn’t good at research bc she failed that every chance she got.
Also, she didn't research anything. She hired a ghostwriter who did everything for her while she took all of the credit. I am in NO WAY saying anything is wrong with using a ghostwriter, I just think it adds to the list of self absorbed actions that Kori took to make herself seem more successful than she really was.
@@jolo3118wow, I didn't know that. *Does anyone know if she's allowed to keep the proceeds from the book❓ Because if we commit a murder, we can't benefit financially, but I'm curious since she hasn't been convicted yet.
It's super common for people who were raised Mormon in Utah to outgrow the religion as adults. Medical is also legal here. And the LDS are taking advantage of it lol
I believe there is overwhelming evidence against Kouri in this case. Also as a former addict of fentanyl, I believe Kouri was an addict. Thats why they didnt find any of those pills she bought and one of the reasons she was stealing so much money. Trying to afford her habit. Just my opinions
I believe a lot about Kouri but certainly not that she is a fentanyl addict. Also a Fentanyl addiction doesn't cost millions of dollars. So no, she didn't steal money for any fentanyl habit but because of her failed business deals.
Girl I was thinking the same thing! $900 worth of fent the FIRST TIME LOL, that is more than enough to do the job! Somehow that didn't work, none of it made it into his body? And she still wanted to try that again after wasting almost a grand? When I relapsed years ago, I've been clean for almost a year and a $20 sack of fentanyl OD'd me, & I needed 4 narcans to wake up. I never used IV drugs either, I freaking c😮ould have died from sniffing $20 of dope that was actually fentanyl- the bioavailability is much lower with that ROA. Theoretically (if none of her targets are already using & don't have a tolerance) she could whack her whole family, & the family across the street, and neighbors on both sides with $900 worth of fent! Also, her drug question to the bf, and his response, led me to believe she was maybe trying to figure how "down" he might be with using. She was at least sorting out how much work it'll be to hide her drug habits from him once they do live together. If he is clueless to that life, he won't think anything of some of the things she might leave laying around. However, if he knows the sounds of a person on the other side of the bathroom door crushing up a pill to abuse it, or if he ever did street drugs and might recognize some of the packaging it comes in- annoying that stuff from the past of experimentation could make it harder for her to hide drug use... I can't think of any other reason they have that conversation-- She wasn't going to ask that man to get her substances to kill her husband lol! As soon as the toxicology came back showing that the drugs he gave her are what killed him, that would have been the beginning of the end of that relationship.
She was probably screwing up her business because she was getting high... Making stupid decisions when she felt invincible. That disease does not discriminate! Last but not least, I'm proud of you OP ❤ it's beautiful to be on this side of living hell! I'm genuinely happy for everyone who survives this disorder that takes too many people, way too young
@marysupernova7780 thank u so much. The other reason I believe she was an addict was cuz of 1 of her text messages that said I want some of the Michael Jackson stuff. I've heard many people guessing about what exactly that means. I know exactly what it is. See fent comes in small bags with stamps on them random stamps so users know what's good and what's not. Michael Jackson was a stamp dealers used. That's what she meant.
Interesting how Couri switches between 1 and 3rd person perspective when communicating. She did it during her interview for her book and then in her Walk The Dog letter.
It always makes me sick when jurors or anybody don't want to imprison somebody because of their kids. Therefore the alternative would be to have them grow up with a murderer. Make it make sense
@@Truth17John17 what? What do you even mean? I believe the Bible, but doubt I would if Kouri wrote it! Personal beliefs and/or religion has nothing to do with the comment. Just saying…
@@TwinMammyof4 According to the Bible, the earth is not a spinning globe either.....that's the point of my comment. Nothing to do with Kouri and her mother, both guilty in this case, and likely others.
Talk about a convoluted case!! Thank you, Lauren, for making sense out of this case. It's going to be an interesting trial for sure!! Best Regards from a Retired Paramedic who saw too much in 37 years of service
Kouri was blinded by her money goals. Poisoners have extremely dysfunctional families. Kouri's mom was in a mental facility when Kouri was arrested. Kouri mom also did things to her partners.
She was also there the night Eric died. I honestly think she helped Kouri. Lisa Darden took out a big life insurance policy on her partner, a woman who had addiction problems. She collected on that policy when that woman died of an overdose.
@@brendaredmond4678 where did you hear about the life insurance? all I've read in the court documents is that her partner's house was put in both of their names
Thanks for the deep dive. I've been interested in this case for some time, and it's nice to have a summary of the events all in one place. I respect the manner in which you outline things, giving just the facts and allowing us to draw our own conclusions. I draw the conclusion that most ppl seem to draw in this case, but I'm still open to hearing more evidence and could potentially change my mind. My heart breaks for those three boys. It seems like their mother's greed cost them both their parents. Has Dr. John been able to analyze K. yet?
I appreciate this comprehensive overview reporting before going into trial. Thank you, Lauren. I also love hearing from John about the psychology of people accused/convicted horrendous crimes.
Nice overview! I thought i knew all the info, but you talked about some things that were new information to me. Thank you for all your hard work piecing this together!
A case in my backyard. I’m a General Contractor in Salt Lake City 30+ miles from Kamas. We dealt with her flipping houses. I’m also a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I can probably help explain a few things if needed. I hope you’re coming here for the trial I’d love to meet up in person. Love being a hidden gem.
@@axollot She was nightmare. I had to fight just to get paid, Thankfully she only accepted one of our estimates. I've got friends in the business that were not so lucky and she still owes them thousand and thousand of dollars. I know three other investors she scammed out of money and owes them in the millions. She is hated in our industry in the Salt Lake County and Summit County. She was one that seemed to think she was always right and new more than you. A definite B---
Was all caught up but wanted to watch all the way through..thoroughly enjoyed your narration Lauren it was easy to follow I imagine even for those not following along as closely. Great job and also glad that no matter how we feel personally you and dr John always always make the disclaimer that everyone is innocent until proven guilty legally. I hope the children are feeling; loved cared for safe and protected right now and are getting the trauma informed care and therapy they need and deserve ❤❤
At what point in her life did she think that murdering the father of her children is a good Idea? I mean, she's not dumb. She literally had everything. She ruined it for what? Those poor boys. Imagine the trauma they are going through. 😢
Imagine making the incredible string of horrendously bad choices she made? There were many over a prolonged period of time, & that’s the shocking part. Sadly, she didn’t think about the impact on her kids at all-not once-just herself. Justice will come. She’ll end up in jail where she belongs.
Lauren your SUCH a great reporter! Your story telling ability, tone, and beautiful smile ALL captivates the listener and leaves them wanting to know more!!!! ❤️ I just LOVE being a Hidden Gem 💎💎💎 ❤ Thank -You both Dr. John & Lauren for covering these important stories! We Love you.... As for the actual story, it's heart breaking ESPECIALLY when babies & family lose loved ones! 😭😭😭
I cant imagine how those kids must feel. Theyre grieving the loss of their father but also must be struggling with their own view of their mother. Probably very confused and in a state of disbelief, even if the situation has been clearly explained to them. Brutal. She is still their mother and deep down they also must feel like theyve been ripped away from their mom
This format is just perfect! It showcases your writing skills as well as minimizing umms and uhhs. You have good diction and expression! I'd watch your channel more often if you used this format going forward 😊

@@godzillamanstreb524 They definitely were but unfortunately that’s not always enough. A lot of time people get away with crimes even though the family, friends know what really happened. Happens all the time…
Hello from Ireland again, Lauren. Say Hello to John also. Another Legend. Anyway, Kouri looks so Guilty it's unreal. Too many Lies Lauren. Thanks. 🙏🙏🥰👏👏👏👏👏
When I say this, I don't mean all; however, being an African-American woman, sometimes I am jealous of the opportunities that white women are afforded. Most of the time, they get a financially stable husband, the big house, fancy cars, and healthy kids. But for some of these women, it's not enough-they want more and more and more! I don't understand it! We have to struggle so hard to just find a black man who still dates us, let alone take financial care of us like that!!!!!!!!!! WHY WOULD YOU KILL A GOOD MAN!!!!
Well done Lauren. The nerve it would take to poison your husband and write a book like you're sad about it. Poor kids.

Kori liked true crime, yet she was so stupid, in so many ways.
@@HiddenTrueCrimedo you happen to know who has custody of the children right now?
Kouri thinks so highly of herself. She’s the epitome of fake it til you make it. I feel for Eric’s family and his boys❤
Did Kouri EVER sign the pre-nup?? Anyone know?
His family obviously didn’t teach him to avoid jezebel. Humans never learn.
@@coochi3516 it’s less than unkind to victim blame. His family has lost him to a vicious monster, how is blaming him and his family in anyway okay?

Kouri didn't write the book, "Are You With Me?" She hired a ghost writer & someone else to do the illustrations.
And it was STILL awful 😩

Omg how often does she say "you know" in that morning show. Seeking approval for her made up story. Brutal.
I had the same thought it was exasperated 'n it was 'cause her nervity 'n anxiety.

Michael Jackson was a stamp dealers used. That's what she meant.
Imagine killing off your kids dad then writing a book and profiting from them murder. Unconscionable
Interesting how Couri switches between 1 and 3rd person perspective when communicating. She did it during her interview for her book and then in her Walk The Dog letter.
A ghost writer wrote the book not her lol
@@reginagilby1101 I meant, when she was talking about the book during her interview.
@reginagilby1101 OH, I see what you are saying. Haha! Yes, so she is telling on herself then.
It always makes me sick when jurors or anybody don't want to imprison somebody because of their kids. Therefore the alternative would be to have them grow up with a murderer. Make it make sense
Thank you, Lauren. I felt so lost in this case, now I understand everything!
Thank you for explaining all the financial crimes 🤯
I love how calm your voice is. In enjoy your videos while I’m trying to chill out.
Thank you for telling this from start to finish. I’ve been trying to figure out the story but there’s bits and pieces everywhere. This is great.
I’m sorry but I would sooner believe the earth is flat than believe a thing that comes out of Kouri’s mouth.
Do you believe the Bible is true?
@@Truth17John17😒? seriously ?
...and her mother
@@Truth17John17 what? What do you even mean? I believe the Bible, but doubt I would if Kouri wrote it! Personal beliefs and/or religion has nothing to do with the comment. Just saying…
@@TwinMammyof4 According to the Bible, the earth is not a spinning globe either.....that's the point of my comment. Nothing to do with Kouri and her mother, both guilty in this case, and likely others.
Wow. Extremely well researched and well presented documentary. With regard to Kouri the word that keeps coming to mind is Narcissist.
Talk about a convoluted case!! Thank you, Lauren, for making sense out of this case. It's going to be an interesting trial for sure!! Best Regards from a Retired Paramedic who saw too much in 37 years of service
Thank you for your service
Kouri was blinded by her money goals.
Poisoners have extremely dysfunctional families.
Kouri's mom was in a mental facility when Kouri was arrested.
Kouri mom also did things to her partners.
She was also there the night Eric died. I honestly think she helped Kouri. Lisa Darden took out a big life insurance policy on her partner, a woman who had addiction problems. She collected on that policy when that woman died of an overdose.
kouri is guilty af and her mom is whack but she was not in a mental hospital when Kouri was arrested
@@brendaredmond4678 where did you hear about the life insurance? all I've read in the court documents is that her partner's house was put in both of their names
@@IzzyMariel I heard that reported on a few channels. 🤔
@@jooliagoolia9959 you might want to reevaluate the channels you watch. That info is not in any of the court docs.
Thanks for the deep dive. I've been interested in this case for some time, and it's nice to have a summary of the events all in one place. I respect the manner in which you outline things, giving just the facts and allowing us to draw our own conclusions. I draw the conclusion that most ppl seem to draw in this case, but I'm still open to hearing more evidence and could potentially change my mind. My heart breaks for those three boys. It seems like their mother's greed cost them both their parents.
Has Dr. John been able to analyze K. yet?
thank you!!
I appreciate this comprehensive overview reporting before going into trial. Thank you, Lauren. I also love hearing from John about the psychology of people accused/convicted horrendous crimes.
Thank you for covering this case.
Exceptional coverage! Thank you! ❤️
Thank you for covering this trial .
Thank you, Lauren.
Isn’t she wonderful! ❤ I have so much respect for her and appreciate her dedication, commitment, courage and compassion for victims ❤
Nice overview! I thought i knew all the info, but you talked about some things that were new information to me. Thank you for all your hard work piecing this together!
Thank you for your comprehensive recap of this horrible story. ❤
A case in my backyard. I’m a General Contractor in Salt Lake City 30+ miles from Kamas. We dealt with her flipping houses. I’m also a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I can probably help explain a few things if needed. I hope you’re coming here for the trial I’d love to meet up in person. Love being a hidden gem.
What was she like as a house flipper? This chan has covered other LDS family murders. But your insight into Kouri would be fascinating!
@@axollot She was nightmare. I had to fight just to get paid, Thankfully she only accepted one of our estimates. I've got friends in the business that were not so lucky and she still owes them thousand and thousand of dollars. I know three other investors she scammed out of money and owes them in the millions. She is hated in our industry in the Salt Lake County and Summit County. She was one that seemed to think she was always right and new more than you. A definite B---
Do Mormons really believe that Eden is in Missouri? I've read about this religion. 🤡 Lots of bs about Joe Smith guy lol
@@r.dwoodruff501 Have you contacted the prosecution with that info. Sounds relevant to me.
@@pamelamac2879they already have this information. There are many lawsuits against her from those she conned.
Everything you do is so professional, Lauren. ❤
It's just sad that people turn to murder to get out of a marriage. They could still have everything they want and more if they just get a divorce.
She didn't want to pay him back all that money. I wish he would have left her before it was too late.
@@vickybachert8298In the big picture that wasn't even much money. A judge would have ordered a payment plan and she would have been fine.
@@mtz6198 Some people have more greed than sense.
Lauren you broke that down nicely. Thank you. I’m now up to speed and look forward to the trial.
Was all caught up but wanted to watch all the way through..thoroughly enjoyed your narration Lauren it was easy to follow I imagine even for those not following along as closely. Great job and also glad that no matter how we feel personally you and dr John always always make the disclaimer that everyone is innocent until proven guilty legally. I hope the children are feeling; loved cared for safe and protected right now and are getting the trauma informed care and therapy they need and deserve ❤❤
At what point in her life did she think that murdering the father of her children is a good Idea? I mean, she's not dumb. She literally had everything. She ruined it for what? Those poor boys. Imagine the trauma they are going through. 😢
For the satisfaction of her growing addiction to the almighty dollar 💵 😕
Imagine making the incredible string of horrendously bad choices she made? There were many over a prolonged period of time, & that’s the shocking part. Sadly, she didn’t think about the impact on her kids at all-not once-just herself. Justice will come. She’ll end up in jail where she belongs.
One can HOPE, she will NEVER GET OUT! EVER! 😡
Narcissism, bottomline. She just couldn't be exposed for the thief she really is.
She proved she was terrible at running her own business. She is a wrecking ball to all in her life.
Lauren your SUCH a great reporter! Your story telling ability, tone, and beautiful smile ALL captivates the listener and leaves them wanting to know more!!!! ❤️ I just LOVE being a Hidden Gem 💎💎💎 ❤ Thank -You both Dr. John & Lauren for covering these important stories! We Love you.... As for the actual story, it's heart breaking ESPECIALLY when babies & family lose loved ones! 😭😭😭
Thank you for doing this Lauren- I knew of this case but now I feel that I am caught up and ready to follow it with you, John and all the Gems!💎 ❤
Another great broadcast, Lauren; thank you so very much.
This is BONKERS. Those poor children.
Have you seen the whole video? I literally JUST got the notification. This has happened on other channels as well. Am I doing something wrong? 🤷🏻♀️
No! I'm watching now, but I've been following all of this for months, so I'm very familiar with the story.
I cant imagine how those kids must feel. Theyre grieving the loss of their father but also must be struggling with their own view of their mother. Probably very confused and in a state of disbelief, even if the situation has been clearly explained to them. Brutal. She is still their mother and deep down they also must feel like theyve been ripped away from their mom
@@TwinMammyof4 Same boat. It's hit or miss on all channels. I don't know what's going on.
Mom was getting insurance on kids. No one who kills a father is a good mother
Excellent job Lauren.
Thank you!
This format is just perfect! It showcases your writing skills as well as minimizing umms and uhhs. You have good diction and expression! I'd watch your channel more often if you used this format going forward 😊

The best indepth research of Kouri I have found. Excellent job 💯
Thank you for doing these vidoes!
Glad you like them!
Loved the way you presented this case, so easy to follow ty lauren❤
Hands down the BEST comprehensive coverage of this story! Bravo! 🎉 Keep up the good work!
Maybe Korri needs to contact Chad and see if he'll publish her Walk the Dog book...probably out sell... One Foot in the Grave😅
Right 😅😅 she's a weirdo
Great episode, presented skilfully, thank you èver so much Lauren.
Rulene, South Africa ❤✨
I like your presentation. It is very measured , timed and punctuated on one hand, but smooth and natural on the other.
You have a very keen and intelligent sense of what your audience needs in delivery and cadence.
Very COLD BLOODED human. Those poor boys and their dad Eric. That look in her eyes when she’s locked up. Such a manipulator.
EXCELLENT coverage! You guys did an amazing job connecting all the dots and truly exposing the deception of this sick woman
I'll say it again: Kouri is a dangerous schemer
Great job Lauren. Thank you for this!
You are so pleasant to listen to. Thank you.
I love this video format from you!
Yay, thank you!
Always love hearing cases from this crazy state of Utah! New sub, great channel!
I think she did it. Why do some people think this is a better alternative to divorce. Just insane and sad for the children.
Very well told. Thank you.
This is a crazy story…. If she didn’t write the book and put more attention on herself, she probably would have gotten away with it. So sad.
I think Eric’s sisters were onto her from the start
I think the police were looking at her long before the book.
they were onto her from day 1
A ghost writer wrote it not her lol
@@godzillamanstreb524 They definitely were but unfortunately that’s not always enough. A lot of time people get away with crimes even though the family, friends know what really happened. Happens all the time…
Thank you for this breakdown!
Great summary of a really crazy case!
Thank you! I’ve only read the headlines on this case.
Thanks for this. I understand what went down now.
Thanks for another great rundown!
Hello from Ireland again, Lauren. Say Hello to John also. Another Legend. Anyway, Kouri looks so Guilty it's unreal. Too many Lies Lauren. Thanks. 🙏🙏🥰👏👏👏👏👏
Kouri must have said "you know" 99 times in that clip. Shows how nervous she was because it was all lies.
This was an excellent report! Thank you!
Excellent summary
When I say this, I don't mean all; however, being an African-American woman, sometimes I am jealous of the opportunities that white women are afforded. Most of the time, they get a financially stable husband, the big house, fancy cars, and healthy kids. But for some of these women, it's not enough-they want more and more and more! I don't understand it! We have to struggle so hard to just find a black man who still dates us, let alone take financial care of us like that!!!!!!!!!! WHY WOULD YOU KILL A GOOD MAN!!!!
@@THETOTALME76501 don't be so racist and go ask a white man out on a date then. Your comment makes zero sense
I like the way you present the story. A good amount of pertinent information. No added emotion, no stupid and annoying voice or music.
Well done!
Thank you for this very thorough overview.
Came from
Completely different backgrounds and boy does it show!!!!
?? He was a Mormon, she wasn't. Big deal. Not relevant to what happened.
