Kouri Richins: The Grief Book Murder

A children's grief book. A grieving widow. A multimillion-dollar estate. Prosecutors allege the book wasn't the final chapter of a tragedy—it was part of a much darker story.

In Episode 18 of Karma Case Files, we examine one of the most talked-about criminal cases in recent years: the Kouri Richins case.

What began as the sudden death of Eric Richins inside the couple's Utah home quickly evolved into a complex criminal investigation involving alleged financial motives, insurance policies, digital evidence, text messages, and a children's book written after his death.

This episode follows the timeline of events, examines the evidence made public by investigators and prosecutors, explores the defense's position, and looks at how a story of unimaginable loss became one of America's most shocking murder cases.
