Kouri Richins

She wrote a beautiful book to help her children process their father's death. She just forgot to mention she was the one who killed him.To the outside world, Kouri Richins was the picture of suburban perfection. A devoted mother, a successful Park City real estate flipper, and a grieving widow left to raise three young boys in the wake of her husband’s sudden, tragic death. She even released a touching children’s book about his ghost, securing her spot on daytime television as a beacon of maternal strength and healing.But the entire performance was a meticulously crafted, cold-blooded lie.Behind the sweet voice and demure demeanor was a woman drowning in millions of dollars of toxic debt, running an empire built on forged signatures and drained accounts.When her husband, Eric, caught on and tried to legally protect his sons, Kouri decided a divorce was too risky. She needed a clean exit... And a four-million-dollar life insurance payout.She didn't use a gun. She used a Moscow mule heavily laced with illicit street fentanyl.In Volume One of Femme Fatales and Black Widows, I’ll cover the chilling case of a modern-day black widow who weaponized her own children's heartbreak to cover up a callous murder.
