## Resource

A prenuptial agreement. One clause. If Eric Richins died while they were married, Kouri would inherit everything. Divorce meant walking away with nothing. Death meant millions. That single clause in a document signed on their wedding day became the engine of a murder that a jury needed less than three hours to see through. In this first installment of our five-part definitive series, we examine the woman behind the mask — the $7.5 million debt spiral, the $250,000 line of credit taken without her husband’s knowledge, the fifteen failed renovation projects, and the forensic accountant who testified that Kouri’s financial enterprise was collapsing so completely that selling everything she owned wouldn’t have gotten her back to zero. We reveal how Eric quietly restructured his estate in 2020 to protect his children after discovering her fraud — and how Kouri, who didn’t know she’d been cut out, accelerated her plan. Eric Richins wasn’t her husband. He was her insurance policy. And when he tried to protect himself, she cashed him in.
