## Resource

She searched “if someone is poisned what does it go down on the death certificate as.” Not overdosed. Poisoned. Her own word. In part four of our five-part definitive series, we lay out the digital evidence and public performances that sealed Kouri Richins’ conviction. Over 800 deleted text messages. A new phone loaded with searches about fentanyl dosages, prison conditions, and whether the FBI was coming for her. A children’s grief book she paid a ghostwriter $2,500 to write, then promoted on local television with a promo code. A six-page letter from her jail cell coaching her family to tell her attorney that Eric got fentanyl from Mexico — a story she’d never told police, investigators, or anyone else in any official capacity. And an anonymous package her mother sent to the sheriff containing the book and a note declaring Kouri a “devoted wife and adoring mother.” The prosecution called it consciousness of guilt. The jury agreed. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
