What Eric Richins Found Out About Kouri's Prenup Before He Was Killed

Eric Richins survived the first attempt. He knew what was happening to him. He told people close to him that he believed his wife was trying to end his life. And then Kouri Richins handed him a Moscow Mule with five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in it. This Hidden Killers Week in Review brings together two deep-dive episodes covering every dimension of the Richins case — the financial motive, the secret affair, the insurance fraud, and the murder itself.

Tony Brueski reconstructs the two parallel lives Kouri was living. On one side, a house-flipping business in freefall — 236 bounced checks, fifteen failed projects, $7.5 million in debt, and a prenup clause that made divorce financially catastrophic. Her forensic accountant described the situation as imploding. On the other side, a secret relationship with Robert Josh Grossmann, text messages fantasizing about marriage, and $1.9 million in life insurance policies she quietly took out on Eric without his knowledge. Eric, meanwhile, was meeting with divorce attorneys and estate planners, removing Kouri from his will, and constructing a trust to shield their three sons from her.

The timeline of escalation is what convicted her. A poisoning attempt during a trip to Greece. A fentanyl-laced sandwich on Valentine's Day that sent Eric reaching for his son's EpiPen to survive. And two weeks later, the cocktail that killed him — mixed the same night she texted her boyfriend "love you." She asked her housekeeper for the fentanyl by requesting "the Michael Jackson stuff." A jury returned guilty verdicts on every count in under three hours.
