Kouri Richins: FBI & Psychology Experts Break Down How She Allegedly Used Everyone

The testimony coming out of the Kouri Richins trial doesn't just build a murder case — it builds a behavioral profile. A boyfriend who did the labor and took the stand against her. A lifelong best friend who lost her entire life savings. Friends who wired money into deals that collapsed. A housekeeper drawn into a drug supply chain. According to prosecutors, every relationship allegedly served a purpose — and when the purpose expired, so did the relationship.

Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke for a deep-dive panel on what that pattern actually is, where it comes from, and why it's so devastatingly effective. They break down the psychological mechanics of instrumental exploitation — how it differs from ordinary selfishness, why intelligent and capable people fall into it, and how someone allegedly sustains this kind of behavior across an entire social world for years without it collapsing sooner.

This is Part 1 of a three-part psychological series on the Kouri Richins case.
