FBI Analyst on What Made Kouri Richins Predictable

Robin Dreeke joins Hidden Killers Live to break down the behavioral patterns prosecutors say preceded Eric Richins' death—and what his FBI training reveals about the trajectory from financial fraud to alleged murder.

The timeline prosecutors have laid out spans years. Life insurance policies totaling nearly $2 million taken out between 2015 and 2017—allegedly without Eric's knowledge. Financial fraud discovered in 2020, leading Eric to consult a divorce attorney. Then a compressed eighteen-day window in February 2022: fentanyl procurement, an alleged failed attempt on Valentine's Day, a request for "something stronger," and Eric's death on March 4th.

Robin Dreeke's "Life Arc" framework examines exactly this kind of escalation pattern. What formative pressures and sustained deceptions shape someone's capacity for violence? What happens psychologically when a spouse's financial fraud is exposed and the marriage becomes existentially threatened? And what single behavioral indicator would have most alarmed an FBI threat assessment team before March 4, 2022?

This isn't speculation about guilt—Kouri Richins is presumed innocent, and her trial begins February 23rd. But understanding behavioral patterns matters. Robin breaks down the psychology of escalation: why someone who fails once typically doesn't stop, what procurement behavior reveals about mental state, and how years of alleged financial fraud can serve as a precursor to more serious crimes.

Live conversation. Real-time analysis. The behavioral framework you need before the trial begins.
