A Children’s Book, Hidden Debt, and a Murder Conviction: Kouri Richins [Current Affairs]

A Utah jury convicts Kouri Richins in the death of her husband Eric after a case that unfolded from a late-night 911 call into a complex web of financial strain, insurance policies, and alleged poisoning with fentanyl. The episode walks through the key facts presented at trial, from mounting debt and changes to Eric’s estate to the evidence prosecutors say pointed to intent, and the questions that still remain about what happened inside their home that night. Current Affairs is Love Murder’s shorter show about the cases of love gone fatally wrong that are in the news right now.
