Happy Birthday, Eric! 💔 As we dug deep into this story, there was so much more that isn’t being reported. It’s even darker and sicker than initially reported. Wow.
Thank you for this Annie , love your hair by the way X
The evil runs deep with this one. Did she serioulsly think she wouldn't get caught? Now the children are left without their loving dad and their mother is going to prison for the rest of her miserable life for murdering him! Thanks for covering this case and the hard work you've put in, as you always do, to bring all of the facts. Your opinion is most appreciated. Hope to see this one through to the end with your channel. God bless...had to edit..so today would have been Eric's birthday 😢 was that intentional or no(that you posted today)..prayers for the family and loved ones who are affected by this senseless tragedy.
This case is freaking insane 😳 Thank you for all you do , especially how you honor the victims🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
Happy belated birthday, many blessings to you
Yeah For sure
This woman was in a bunch of my widow groups acting like a grieving widow. It feels like an invasion of privacy for a lot of us. We are having an awful time and she is in there trying to play as one of us. It’s sick.
Attorney/widow/mom/true crime fan here- Your group should consult an attorney and see if you have a civil case against her for intentional emotional distress! Think about her group session comments, look over your chats, and if she said anything that made you emotionally or physically unwell - write it down now so you remember it. Her actions are so harmful to society you will be doing us all a favor to ensure she has consequences!
I'm so sorry. How awful.
I’m so sorry to all of the women in your group 😞.
Oh my God I feel for you ladies...how Cold hearted is this woman!!! Made me sick
Sounds like she was there to get tips on how to act. Disgusting
This lady is pure evil. As a mom myself, the fact she would do this to her boys just puts this in an entire new level of evil. Exploiting her own children and robbing them of their father is sick and twisted. I bet she was celebrating about the house because she thought she was just going to rake in all that money. I hope they get everything they need to convict this monster.
Imagine how many times she read this book to them. A twisted mind!
They need to put this monster under the prison. This is pure evil
"You know" must be a regional filler phrase.
Yeah she's evil AF. Murdering her spouse and then writing a children's book about him dying. WTF. That's all so awful. She probably thought she was getting away with it too.🙄
And what sort of 10 year old boy wants to read a book they helped write with their mum?! When I was 10 I had no interested in reading anything I'd written myself. Her book motive doesn't even make sense.
She needs to write a new book "You can't be with me" (because I'm in prison) To help grieving kids deal with the fact that their mother is in prison for murdering their father.
This
🙌👏👏👏
I’m sure she will, never miss an opportunity to make money!!😢
Nice one!
Lmao
“She’s Not Here, Is She?: How to Cope When Your Mother Is a Murdering Sociopath”
Lol. That's good.
Perfect
'How To Cope When Your Mother Is A Murdering Psychopath &....
Now In Jail'
Burn, Kouri. Burn.
She'll get the shit kicked out of her a few times while in the D.O.C, I *almost* hope, & am pretty sure.
Not going to be selling any houses in jail, will ya? Or, profiting from your husband's life insurance policy, in order to spend it on trivial crap, plus buy a mansion you didn't need?
Those poor kids.
Even though her books were bullshit, am sure the kiddos were just starting to come in to grasps with their grief.
Now, they will be learning that their Mom actually was the one to kill their Dad.
If, the court finds her guilty.
And, am pretty sure it will.
💔
😂
Those poor boys. Funny but Too soon!! 😀
The amount of times Cori says “ya know” on the GM interview is brain melting
I know 🤪 29 times
My dad died very suddenly when I was 12, it rocked me, but absolutely wrecked my mom. It’s been 11 years, my mom is remarried, and she still has an occasional rough day missing my dad. There is NO WAY in hell she could’ve written a god damn book within a year, she couldn’t get out of bed!! That blows my mind that Kouri didn’t think that was suspicious. What a heartless evil person, such a wild case
My mom died when I was 7 it's been 21 years and I don't think I could write about it
I had that same though, how does someone compose themselves enough during the grieving period, let alone having to become the single parent. Maybe she started writing it before he died
you are 200%correct after my fiance passed away I stood in bed for a little over a year and lost alot of weight... I couldn't think straight,much less to write a book.
My husband was found dead in a hotel room when he had taken a trip and had planned to say a little longer and visit some people in his home town. 2 weeks before 9/11 my kids were 12 and 17. I put on a strong front for them and we owned a drywall company and put on a strong front for the companies we did business with and had a lot of support. And in private daily loss it. I'm sure I didn't fool anyone I'm sure my face showed it. But to this day there are things that remind me of him and bring tears to my eyes.latest is the song "Dancing with my eyes closed" I've never remarried
it was ghostwritten iirc
I lost my husband in 2013. I was 32 and he was 34, I'd never been without him since the day we met. Our girls were 9 & 14 at the time and it was absolutely horrendous to see them try to process something so awful that I couldn't even wrap my brain around. She is a predator and dangerous as hell. Their poor boys are now left completely alone and I'm so glad they are with their paternal family. What a monster. 🙏
Hugs ❤ xxx
@@PaganPunk tysm ❤️
I'm so sorry to hear that. I don't understand these people. Why would you hurt someone you built your life with? Noone deserves to he hurt but this is top tier level of Evil. Then she spent every day watching her kids fall apart for a situation she created (allegedly). There is no way as a parent I would allow my kids to have that kind of pain. Not if I can help it. I feel for his family. 😢
I saw a video of a little boy who wanted to say some words to his father when he was sentenced for killing the boys mother. His rage and tiny voice telling his father how he hated him and how he was a big mean man over and over again broke my heart. The Dad showed no emotion. Terrible.
@@misslady582 oh I remember that case! His victim impact speech to his own father, they recorded and played the audio at sentencing. 😭 Just so horrendously heartbreaking.
I'm so sorry for your loss, candace and I agree with your comment 💯%about wrapping your brain around it. I said I literally have no words😢
People like Kouri scare me more than the Mansons and Dahmers of this world. She has the ability to appear normal and genuine when she is anything but that.
I believe she did it for the money
Yep monsters among us
She's a disgusting depraved sociopath. I could think of some other things I'd like to say but I'm sure you guys are with me on that😊and what she did is so heinous heinous
I think dahmer literally appeared normal and "handsome" and that's how he got away so long, it's the famous element of that case.
@@jamstahjamYep, most of the very "successful" (🤮) killers were very charismatic and fit in very well.
Oh Boy. Eric is smart as heck, he was one step ahead. Sadly his suspicions were spot on.
How many times did she say “You know”..No we don’t know!! We havent killed our husband or anyone for that matter..So NO we “DONT KNOW”!!!! That made me so mad everytime she said “you know”! RIP Eric.I’m sorry your wife killed you!
I was thinking exactly same thing!
Finally someone said it😓
I almost skipped that part, it drove me crazy!!!
I'm glad someone said it. Between her and the first lady they interviewed I dont know who said " you know" more.
That and “kind of” argh!! 😖
If my husband made me something to eat or drink and I got sick afterwards, I’d never make the leap that he did something to intentionally harm me. The fact that Eric felt that on their trip and mentioned it makes me believe something else was going on. Always trust your gut. If you feel something is off, don’t stay for the kids. They’re feeling something too because kids are smarter than people give them credit for. I know. GET OUT!
I would have eaten out every night before I came home and not drink a drop at home
@@despicabledavidshort3806 Really? I would have left and filed a police report if I really believed my spouse was poisoning me but like Annie and op I would not have assumed that it was something my spouse did if I got sick while on vacation.
@@GR-jk5lq same!
I think my aunt posioned my uncle a few years ago. She had a boyfriend 😢
@@it-ke9od my dad died in 2016. He called that week and said that he’d never been as sick as he currently was. His friend (a former live-in, that was his beneficiary) was taking him food and Gatorade. When he died, he was found by her. My sister and I were dumbstruck. Just shocked because he was so strong. When asked if we wanted an autopsy she was adamant that he wouldn’t want it. We were in such a fog that we agreed. Later, when we were clear minded we wondered about her statements. Unfortunately, he had taken care of his funeral arrangements in advance and was cremated. That little voice in the back of your mind? Listen to it.
As a young widow, 37, who lost her husband to cancer 3 years ago - with our three babies who were 11, 6, and 1 at that time - I absolutely can’t believe this lady. I too struggled to find resources towards children loosing a parent. I’m so glad this book wasn’t there then. I watched our 1 year old climb into bed with his unresponsive Daddy and I placed his Daddy’s hand on him. What a horrific thing to inflict on her children. Pure evil.
So sorry to read your story
Sending you hugs❤
❤️
I am so sorry for you loss

@@ivysarab thank you dear 💙
If you made a drinking game out of how many times, this woman says “ you know” within that interview you would be drunk in less than five minutes 😮… it’s terribly infuriating how callous she could be depriving her children of growing up with a wonderful dad!
😂I said the same!!!
She said it 27 times 😂😂😂
Everytime someone says “ you know “ to me I say to them “ no I don’t that’s why your telling me this”.
Same lmao
I noticed the same thing.
But from listening to her friend at Home Depot.
Can you imagine being the investigators watching her, parade around with this book, full well knowing they were on to her? 😳
Imagine being his family 😡
They must’ve been like okay sweetie, just gonna add this to our file
As a neighbor of Kouri, I never would have guessed that she could’ve done this. It just proves that you never really know what people are capable of. I would love to believe that she didn’t do it but with all the evidence, it’s hard to deny. I really wish that the kids didn’t have to go through this, to know that their mom (allegedly) took their dad must be really difficult for them.
Have you seen the kids lately?
“But he/she was such a nice guy/girl” is a cliche for a very real, and sad, reason.
“We serial killers are your sons, we are your husbands, we are everywhere. And there will be more of your children dead tomorrow” -Ted Bundy
She may not be a serial killer and she’s a woman, but Bundy hit the nail right on the head. Killers are rarely the creepy stranger in the shadows who makes your hair stand on end. They often blend into society so well that they end up as your spouse or your favorite person to gossip with at lunch after church. That’s the truly scary part.
@@MaribellaPortraits not really. I believe that someone is staying with them. I do know that Kouri isn't allowed at the house because they're there.
Isn’t Kouri in jail anyway?
@@jenniferhoefsmit Thats what I thought.... she isn't in jail? & the family is staying WITH the kids @ the same house? They didn't go stay with the family at the family members house?
I discovered you not long ago and the amount of content you put out is very much appreciated! Hope you and anyone reading this has a great weekend!
Thank you so much. Have a great weekend!
And not just the amount of content, but she doesnt lack In Quality either😊
Hope you have a great, restful weekend as well
Annie is the best!!!
You too!
How sad when those kids get older and realize that this super special book their mom wrote for them to help with the passing of their dad is a huge kick in the gut because she's actually the one who took him from them in the first place.
@Tara Mcgavan well duh. That's why I said how sad for the kids lol
💔
That's so traumatic 😞 I feel so bad for her children 🥺
@Tara Mcgavan Yes. She took probably the most important thing/Person that those Boys needed , I'm not sure if she has been arrested or not, but someday they will figure it out ,poor little guys.
Heartbreaking
My husband passed away 9 months ago from an overdose and we have 2 boys. This story makes me sick, that someone would cause and exploit this pain. Also I can't imagine writing a book during this time of grief, much less think that I'm sharing valuable advice when every day is a process of the unknown.
Before I get hate in the comments bc some people are just unnecessarily awful: I am not a user. My husband had been in recovery and therapy until he lost his job of 12 years and relapsed. In only 2 weeks he was gone. Please support your loved ones in their recovery.
So sorry for your loss. I am also so sorry that you feel the need to explain all that to keep people from being mean! I hope you are getting through it and healing!
I am so sorry for Ur loss 😢
Condolences...sending good vibes ur way 🙏
I’m sorry for you and your family’s loss. I am sending prayers, love, and good vibes to you and your family. ~Blessings~🤗🤗🤗🫶🏾🫶🏾🥰🥰✌🏾
So sorry for your loss. Never edit yourself when speaking about your truth and loss. I have been in recovery since 5-24-90 but relapse is always an option.
You know all the people that bought that book and used it. To comfort their grieving children?! This is a new level of evil.
There are PLENTY of children's books on grief! She even lied about that fact!
🕊💯🕊
Anyone who purchased the book should have the option for a refund.
@Catily Ever After I agree, 100%, the book needs to be ripped from every bookstore or shelf immediately, and destroyed!!!
That book alone will cause more trauma and grief to a child ... What an evil, 😈, thing she is!!!
I don't believe in Book Burnings, but for this case I'll make an exception!!!
as somebody who has “died” from fent od and resuscitated, it is very painless. sleepy immediately, lights out within 5 minutes, then u don’t wake back up. i’m glad it was painless, but nobody deserves this. rest in peace eric, we will get you justice.
Iv died from it too and was brought back and ur right I didn't even know what happened when I woke up in the hospital I was so confused but it didn't hurt I just blacked out or something....now I'm four years sober and I'll never touch that stuff again...I'm grateful I'm alive
@@jessdelea4005 same. i didn’t know what happened but it slowly came back over time, two years later i have a vague recollection but i wasn’t alone so i do know what it looks like from them telling me. glad you’re alive, man. let’s live.
@@Abigracelauren I was with a friend when it happened and she did 80 dollars worth and I did 20 dollars worth but I had been clean for a year so when I did it I overdosed but the friend told me she was asking me something and I didn't respond and then my head hit the dashboard in the truck and she was slapping me and yelling and I wasn't waking up so she drove me to the hospital and they hit me with narcan four times then used those shock panel things on me and brought me back to life ...I can't believe I was so stupid gambling with my life like that but ur absolutely right let's live !
I hope and pray you found your way to recovery. I know what it's like I have been Clean for almost 4 years 💕
You are right. Fentanyl would be my go to drug if i want to quit. Its quick and painless. Plus you get a little high before going out.
Riposa in Pace Eric🕊
Hope this Lady will go to Jail for Life
She had a marriage others can only dream of and she threw it all away, I am in tears thinking of those little children who have a rough road ahead without their dad or mom now.
I find it absolutely bizarre that Eric kept drinking her drinks even though he knew she was trying to kill him.
Edit: In no way am I victim blaming. It’s just odd that someone who knew their significant other was poisoning their food and drinks would continue eating and drinking things they made for them. Regardless of how much I love someone, I don’t want to be with them if they are trying to murder me and I have proof. I think she is vile and my condolences go out to his family ❤️
he probably really didn't want to actually believe it to be true.
I had the same thought.
Yes! Was going to comment the same thing. If I thought someone was trying to poison me, no way would I eat or drink anything they tried to give me. This is just so sad. What a disgusting woman. Glad she was finally arrested. She probably thought she committed the perfect murder.
This. 1000x this.
The need for self preservation makes me think this man could have framed her? She’s probably guilty but I can’t reconcile him consuming anything she handed him.
Edit - I just watched the whole video and it looks like she is guilty. I should’ve waited to post
After ONE year, being a mom of three, going through actual grief, there’s no way in hell you’d be writing a book. You’re still going through the 7 stages of grief and are having a good day if you brushed your hair and teeth. It’s so insane she went this route. Psycho!
Great point 🤔.....getting out of bed would be a challenge......I guess every one deals differently so I thought maybe it is just disorganised-me that would be a mess , but you are right......
Exactly or celebrating the next day her husband had passed on
Everyone grieves in their own way. Working and writing are ways some people cope. I don’t know if she’s guilty or innocent, but her writing a book doesn’t seem like a red flag
I’m so sorry for your loss, I know exactly what you mean. I lost my husband through his doctors medical neglect. The court case has just been concluded in our favour. I’ve been told I can move on now it’s all over I don’t see that the pain is even deeper now.
That is necessarily true. Writing helps with the grief process.
Those poor boys are going to need some major counseling to process the reality that their mom murdered their father and pretended to write a book with them in order to “help” them heal and move on. Like I can’t believe how incredibly messed up someone has to be to do this to their own kids?? That’s another level of CRAZY.
As I’m watching this I just got done decorating my husband’s 41st birthday cake. He was born on the same day and year as Eric. I’ll be thinking of Eric today while we celebrate. The world lost a good man, father and husband. James and I celebrate 11 years together this year and we have three children together. I can’t even imagine doing this life without him. Cory has ruined so many lives, including her own. I’m sending a lot of love and prayers.
Wow. Mine passed 11/27/21. His name was Eric and we just celebrated his 41st on 5/1 🥹💔💔💔 hugs.
@@terezatrnkovabrown9567 Awww! I’m so sorry to hear that. Hugs and love back. I can’t even begin to imagine what you’re going through.
This woman is something else...theres no words for her type. To throw away a great life and to take away a great person for a damn book
I dunno man, a pre-nup on the morning of the wedding??!?Handed out by the soon-to-be mother-in-law? Could a MIL really intrude to that level . . . or was the future hubby just making her do his dirty work? Not advocating for murder, but that’s pretty low. 😮😳🤨🧐😅
(Whoops, meant that as a fresh comment, not as a reply, sorry!)
It was for money. Eric was worth 3.5 million but he also had a life insurance policy worth 3.5 million. Not long before he died, he had changed his will and life insurance policy from her name to his 3 sons. This chick had the audacity to call the the life insurance and tell them to put it in her name!! Eric also told his friends if he’s murdered, Kouri killed him.
@@bbe3034 yeah it's never a good sign when a buddy tells you that if he dies, it's his spouse's doing.
Cmeister I said I literally have no words but then I said she was a disgusting vile sociopath and what she did was totally heinous
My brother was murdered by his wife of 18 years. This sounds like something she would do if she wasnt rotting away in prison, thank goodness. For those of you saying, "why didnt he leave?" My brother made the comment to a few of his friends and his mom that he knew if he left, she would bring the sketchy men she was having affairs with into his children's lives and into their home. He didnt know that she was dating in the bottom of the human being barrel to find someone to hire for murder, but she was. She asked three different men and planned his murder for 4 years while he raised their children and she slept around. BUT i cannot understand how a mother can do this to their children. My nieces and nephews were always the priority for my brother... but for her, it was life insurance money, attention and pity.
I’m sorry that your brother never gets to play that positive role in their life. I’ll never understand how a mother could deny their children the experience of a father growing up.
Ugh 😑 sorry that happened
My deepest condolences for your loss. Please tell us she was caught.
How horrifying for Your Family....💔 my deepest condolences to You all.... His poor children...
I’m so sorry for your loss! I can not even begin to imagine what you’ve been through! I’m glad to hear she didn’t get away with it though! What a p.o.s!!! It sounds like she hired someone to do it for her… How did you guys/the police link it back to her? Im curious, but no need to answer if you’re not comfortable of course. Hope you and your family are doing well now! ❤
I am so sorry for you & your brothers children & your poor brother 😞
This is heartbreaking, my husband died suddenly when my three kids were young, how could you even think of this, my children were destroyed!
I agree, my dad passed unexpectedly when I was just 12, as a only child it changed me exponentially, after 30+ yrs it still does. Beyond selfish and cruel to do this to your children deliberately. I hope karma catches up with her.
I’m so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and your kids❤ it must be so hard 🙏🏻all I keep thinking is all these people that bought this book and read it to their kids to then hear this betrayal? It’s like ripping out their hearts again! It’s so sick!!!!
I'm sorry for your loss I'm coming up on one year of my hubby being gone. I have an 8 year old. Hang in there
Beautiful huge home. Steady stream of income. Husband who actually gave a sh*t about her & the children.
That sounds like an awesome life that she just threw away for her selfish desires.
@@gizzyg5337 Much love to you and your little one, ❤️ 🌹❤️
Eric seemed such a genuine guy. Hard to find these days. And his sons… poor little guys. My heart goes out to them.
Kouri’s “you know”s during the book interview make my skin crawl.
No one on UA-cam is more consistent then Annie!! Best true crime channel ever!!
Yes, totally.its not very edited which makes it more real and genuine.( it is and very consistent,you are right)
. This story:I just cannot believe it.
Annie and her team. Y'all try to keep in mind, she doesn't do all this alone.
Putting children first would be a great solution in this story.
Would have been the right thing to do.
I’m not even with my sons dad. One of my top fears is anything happening to him because I couldn’t bear seeing the look on my sons face as he burst into tears over losing his daddy.
You're a good person then! I get so mad at people who aren't with their baby's dad or mom anymore turning the kid into leverage to hurt the partner. It's gross. Good for you ❤
Same! I would never wish this heartbreak on my son, his dad has another child too and that would break both of their hearts. Yet this woman shared a bed with this man every night and still didn’t care…. I wish he had acted on his gut instincts.
Although I no longer love my son's dad I wish him no harm in any way because my boys love him to pieces it would crush me to see them go through that. People really suck
Great. Another single mother. Lady do you realize how much that damages society?
Same!!! He’s the father of my children. even tho we’ve been divorced for 7 years I can not FATHOM something happening.
This hits close to home. My husband passed away 17 months ago. I can’t stomach the thought that this woman is pretending to be a grieving wife. To hear her say so easily on that talk show about being a widow is a red flag for me. I get choked up everytime I have to say that word or check it on a form. It’s horrendous to think she would sentence her kids to a lifetime without their dad for her own gain.
I'm so sorry for your loss 💕
@@CaseyMarie11-11 Thank you
I'm a widow and I agree with you completely.
my heart truly goes out to each of you that are grieving. i am deeply sorry for your losses.
Rite my mom's husband passed from cancer 15 yrs ago and she still gets teary eyed and upset when talking about him especially of his actual death or cancer. This lady is a sociopath
My boyfriend passed from a fentynal od, it is deadly! And I know I'm not alone when I say I was not writing a damn book after he passed. I was numb for at least the first year! Grief comes differently for everyone, but this lady. Wow. I would never put our kids through this for money.
I am sorry for your loss
@@denineguerrero5871 thank you♥️♥️
My mom wrote a children's book back in the early 1990s after she had to bury her son, my brother. My other brothers and I already had children at this time, and he was the first to die in their young lives and were a bit confused. So momma did what momma does, and although it is published, she wrote the book for her grandchildren. The book is "Does it hurt when you Die?" by Antoinette Murphy.
Wow. Just imagine being one of her boys and grow up to realize that not only did you lose your father suddenly and unexpectedly, then that your mother killed him, then that she freakin lied to you, manipulated you and EXPLOITED a you and your REAL grief. Wow.
Collier Landry.
It’s pretty twisted. Sounds like they have quite a bit of evidence against her. Heartbroken for those boys.💔💔💔😢
The number of "ya know's" is so telling. Word salad when you are a lying, freakin' sociopathic killer.
It's truly scary that there's people that cold and narcissistic, that walk among us in everday life. She's a true psychopath. This is a good example of not judging a book by its cover. She had the looks, family , respectful job, lots of money.. normal on the outside, but inside a ravenous wolf. Money changes people. Truly the love of money is the root of all evil.
.....that last sentence is SPOT ON!!!!
YES. It goes to show not everything on Instagram is what you think…..
she was a rhief...she did not have any money..she was stealing from him to the tune of $300,000
She made me unlock a new level of disgust for another person!!
I lost my son in Nov 2022, he left behind a 26 year old widow, and two daughters ages 2 years and a 5 month old. My daughter-in-law didn’t want to except the money that family & friends raised for her to have for the girls.
My gosh, that woman is evil!
Accept=affirm
Except=exclude
“Nights are the hardest with dealing with anything.” I’m sure. Laying there knowing you did what you did. Every night.
I'm in my 40's and losing my own father to cancer almost 2 years ago this month was just devastating!😢
this one really messed me up.
Because her book really touched my heart ❤️
I thought she was trying to help her kids through a difficult time of grief and she actually DID that to them 😭
She took their own daddy from them!!!😭
And now, they don't have a mom either!
Wow that's just so cruel....
I’m so sorry to hear about your dad 💔
Sending healing & loving thoughts your way! ❤️🩹
It's horrible ** and you're right cruel
I so Empathize with you!! I lost My Dad 2 Years ago in January due to Covid He was 73.. I miss him everyday and cry very often.... BIG Hugs to you darling!!!!!
@@cali.girllivinnnevada8 that means so much ❤️
Thank you!
@@HeavenlyPresley-Tonya that's means a lot to me, and I cry everyday too!
I miss him so much, but there's so many life events and funny moments that I feel him still with us in spirit!
They're always still with us ❤️
It's so arrogant to write a book about grief so soon after her husband died...unless she has some kind of special qualifications to help other people's kids. You can't actually know if you did well or completely screwed up with them until some time has passed. So ridiculous.
🕊️prayers around the boys and other victimized survivors 🕊️
Her claims that the boys wanted to read it before bed is ridiculous -- what little boy wants to read something he helped to write !?
She was emboldened! She said ‘you know’ way too many times during that interview. Yea we know you murdered your husband Kouri.
@@victoriapeters2996It's just filler words. Some people ummm uhhh alot, others "ya know" a lot.
Books about stuff that can make or break a person that also sets out to be a guide and support through hard times (especially for someone as vonurable and naive as a child) should ALWAYS be written by, or at least co-written with, an expert on the field. Anything else is highly irresponsible.
The amount of ”you know you know you know you know” that Corny said my head was about to explode, NO WE DONT KNOW.
There are sooooo many children’s book about loss and death… “Where Do Balloons Go” by Jamie Lee Curtis is a GREAT one!
She made herself look so dumb. She’s a cold hearted vicious liar who killed a kind loving and loved Dad, brother and son. Just horrible!! 😢
Happy Heavenly Birthday Eric Richins. Gone way to soon. This was nothing but greed. I pray for the family of Mr. Richins, the babies, and the rest of the family. I hope she get the maximum penalty for this. I pray that they don’t just give her a slap on the hand. This was premeditated and horrific murder.
Justice for Eric Richins
Very surprising she was able to write a book with the unreal amount of times she used "you know" in her TV interview.☠️
Maybe she didn’t write it and pay someone else. You know it is possible to pay people to write.
As a widowed mom of a three year old struggling to watch him grow without his father .... this blows my mind ... And breaks my heart 🥺😔😟
Nothing like starting my day to your videos. I connect to Bluetooth and start cleaning around my house or cooking & doing laundry lmao. I swear Annie you are the most respected, honest, and just straight up blunt but classy UA-camr & reporter there is out here. I feel like calling you a UA-cam True Crime influencer does not even come close to what & who you truly are. I been loyal to your channel since the beginning 🤞🏼
i swear i feel like you one of my besties when I hear you talk 😂 your personality, professionalism & dedication to the work you put in to these videos is outstanding. I think I can speak for everyone when I say YOU THA MF BEST ANNiE & WE LOVE YOU!!!!💕
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Wow thank you so much! Love ya bestie! ❤️
She is correct Annie....THE BEST FOR SURE...no one else does it better...you are amazing...even my hubby recognized your voice the other day ...he does not do crime...ha ha...but, says he could listen to your post!!!
..this is so sad for those boys an his family /loved ones...my condolences to them all
Very well said!!
I say she's just like Mary Poppins practically perfect in every way ❤
May Eric's memory be a blessing. My heart goes out to his kids, family and friends. I wish them all healing and peace.
Thank you for covering this story❤ My mom passed when I was 9. It was so hard I am 37 and it still hurts. Poor kids, I feel their pain!😢 She is so wrong for doing this!!!
I'm so sorry. I can't even imagine losing your mom at such a young age. My mom passed in 2016 when I was 32 and it was the hardest thing I have ever been thru. Lots of love to you!!!! ♡♡♡
I'm so sorry for your loss and I lost my dad when I was 15 and it set me on a wrong path but thankfully I'm on a totally different one now
Luckily you were older than 9 because they say Narcissistic Personality Disorder solidifies in children before the age of 9. Those 2 youngest boys are going to be at extreme risk of a disorder as adults because of the lack of a stable environment the mom's created for them.
@@rachelrae860 I'm so pleased to hear that. I had a similar experience. My mother passed when I was 12. I had previously been good in school, but went off the rails. Thankfully I found my way back, too. Wishing you all the very best x
@@neilsun2521 That's so sad and unsettling. Imagine being a victim of this heinous crime as a child, and suffering irreparably as a result. Even their input to the book was not a genuine concern, so imagine how the extraction of that information will affect them if she is convicted too. So sick and so sad.
I lost a parent myself when I was young. This is absolutely gut wrenching when I think about those boys who may have found so much comfort with their mom and that story they wrote now knowing that she was the cause of all their pain. What a horrible selfish person
To think that a mother could do this to their children’s father is inconceivable. Those poor boys now have to grow up without either parent thanks to her greed. Prayers for the entire Riches family.
There needs to be an analysis of the LDS and crime stats such as murder and S.A. it is too weird. So much divorce, murder etc.
Do you intend to look into crime statistics for other demographics? Be careful what you wish for.
I thought the same thing. I watch so many of these videos from different creators, and I feel like I’ve heard LDS so many times lately in cases.
@@elsie6828 there is crime in all demographics, but it has been a huge rise in LDS lately. It’s just odd. Not saying every person in the Mormon faith is a bad person, of course. The opposite is true in my experience, but that’s why this is surprising.
I understand what you are saying but I haven't been able to find anything that says she is a member of the church of Jesus Christ (LDS). I know Eric was, and that he served a mission, but neither seemed to adhere to precepts of the religion, as they drank alcohol frequently.
@@Skyesoceaneyes yeah that’s true in this case. But I’ve seen MANY more across channels lately.
happy birthday, eric. rest well, dude. i’m sorry this happened to you. i hope the kids get the help they need.
Very true. I'm sorry he was that 'whipped'. She's very cute & used that for ultimate evil.
I want to see her interrogation! This is a DISGUSTING crime! I mean most murders are disgusting but when I first heard about this one, it made me angry and sick to my stomach! If she is guilty, I hope she gets the biggest book on the planet thrown at her!
She didn't crush up pills.. she used powder.. the drug dealer changed her story as to what pill type..
I’m going through a divorce where I was abused. To date I have never loved a man more than I loved him. I could NEVER kill or have him killed. That is some next level CRAZY.😢
Good morning, Annie! I was hoping you’d cover this case. Nobody does it like you! ❤
The amount of “you know” she said in the interview was unlimited, literally saying that 2-4 times in ONE sentence
It was so smart of him to text his sister with his suspicions. That way it can be used as kind of proof or at least a reason to look into things further
If I was convinced someone was trying to poison my food or drinks, I would NEVER allow them to prepare anything for me. Or I would insist they first tasted whatever they were giving me then I still wouldn’t consume it! That poor man 😢. And those poor kids 😢.
Those poor kids. My dad died when I was 5 and my mom lost custody of me at age 11 due to being a drug addict. Growing up without parents is really hard and it still affects me as an adult. I hope they get through this and heal. 😞
I just wanna say, I think you do an incredible job putting together all of the information you do in these cases and presenting them with respect to the victim as well as their families while exposing what these monsters have done. You’re awesome!
I was intrigued by that story I saw yesterday on the news, and of course came right away here to know more. Hello y’all from France 🇫🇷 😅
For me, it is very strange and telling that during the "Good Things" broadcast interview about her book just 1 year after Eric's "unexpected" death, if you notice, she is not wearing her wedding ring. Not always, but it is very common for the grievers to wear it years afterwards...as a memorial.
*THE TRUTH ALWAYS SHINES THROUGH THE DARKNESS*
This was calculated & surreptitious. Thankfully the person supplying the substances has spoken to authorities. As much as it's a deviously planned out murder. I am happy she released her book of lies bc most likely it will be weaponized against her in court. Sadly the children were used for her own selfish financial benefit. praying for the kids and family.
*1000% GUILTY*
So much greed when she already had the world.
Exactly!!
This case really hits home for me, I have been clean 4yrs ! & My dad had been seeing this girl & she uses well last week we got a call that he wasn’t breathing smh he’s now in ICU & it’s not looking good at all ! The girl left town, No investigation into her or anything . Now we’re stuck dealing w a horrible decision to make smh ! Just so heartbreaking & it literally affects so many ppl & families. Never thought I’d be in this situation ❤ Thank you Annie for bringing awareness! 😢
Oh no! This is terrible! How is your dad doing now?
Well he is still in life support & they have wanted us to take him off of it but we are not giving up ! Thank you sooo much for asking ❤️😢
I'm so sorry to hear! The love and faith you have for not giving up! Saying a prayer for your dad and your family! 😥❤️
I love your version of the three C’s, spot on! If I had to listen to her say ” You Know” once more………..!
How absolutely devastating for the children and family that their dad was taken away by their mother for pure greed & now they’ve lost their mum as well. Heartbreaking for those little boys.
she said it THIRTY times, you know
@@mattgonzales774 lol
Wow that’s crazy!! How she thought she could get away with killing him!!
If you noticed, she said, “that we’ve experienced “last year”. Not, that we experience because grieving & missing a loved one truly nvr goes away. Especially in one year. To me that sentence is very telling. It speaks volume to me.
R.I.P to him🙏
I always appreciate you bringing light to stories I've never heard of. And I've been intrigued by true crime for more than a decade. I know we as your fans really see what you're doing for these victims families. And the new hair cut...girl!!!!! You look beautiful!
The amount of times she said “ya know” in her interview drove me crazy.
😅🤭
Hahaha me too. I’m glad I’m not the only one 😂
I counted 28 times!
Yes that’s much worse than murdering her husband
I noticed that, too. And isn't it odd that her former co- worker also had that same habit.
What a horrifying story of greed and calculation! Just terribly sad..😢
Those poor children. I hope Justice prevails in this case for Eric, the boys, and Eric’s family. Prayers to them all.🙏
Annie your channel is great you really explain everything in great detail
Annie you are dominating this true crime reporting! Thank you for taking the time, energy and effort to tell these victim’s stories❤
Yas girl.. better than dateline. I've watched them all. My ex boyfriend. Said I was sick bc I liked watching people getting murdered. I said A. I don't watch anyone get murdered. I said I don't understand why or peoples mind's.. I can't wrap my mindset. I don't like watching or hearing about victims and sometimes I can't bc it is too much. I usually watch ones about toxic relationships.. and the things that most toxic people male or female have in common.. and I glared at him.. I started naming things off.. sound familiar?? I said leave me alone.. I said these people who kill .. most have good lives.. have everything they need.. maybe not wants.. but some have everything.. and they still kill.. bc of greed.. they don't want to lose their person.. they found another person. But it comes down to selfishness.. and no empathy..or self awareness.. they only think about themselves.. that's it. Their narcissism is so bad they think they can get away with doing this. And they have no problem doing it bc they lack empathy and remorse.. it's me and me.. only me.
CL NEEDS to come clean it's powder fentanyl. I would think that. With my ex husband.. 😅
That's why I look in my cup before I drink it.. that's when u need to leave.. I think this asshole is going to kill me.. mine criminally neglected me for over a week and didn't call 911 unconscious and I woke up and I coded once I got to the hospital from DVT pes. Other issues.. but I pulled through.. I should have pressed charges. But I didn't.. I always thought of my boys before anything else.. I have a letter h wrote about my state .. I said I needed for my Dr.. and he wrote it in his hand writing..
She was in the same widows group with me I saw this yesterday in the group. Alot of people in those groups looking to help a fellow widow out, and help their own children cope. This whole thing is disgusting there are so many of us would give everything to seem my love again, so my son could have his dad. This person played on that and swindled so many
Hugs for you. Just, hugs.
I’m so sorry for your loss! I can’t imagine. It must also be shocking to hear this about her unless she was already seeming suspicious to people.
❤
People putting this woman on a pedestal because she was a Mom is nauseating. What qualifications do you need to have children? None. If the Vallow and Anthony cases taught us anything it's that evil is evil. Some people are just awful people.
And yada yada yada Stauch
Yes! I’ve gone through two years of infertility and a miscarriage while evil psychopaths get to be called mothers 😳
@@sofie1065 😂
Amen!!! 👍🏻
@@KatieQueso so unfair. it's women like you that should be able to have as many babies as you want, not these killer moms. it just burns me up 🤬🤬
i'm sorry but she said "you know" 30 times in that short interview. i counted cause it was, ya know, driving me absolutely crazy.
Haha…I agree. The other cashier woman she worked with said “you know” 26 times. 🙄
Exactly, I'm wondering how she could even be articulate enough in her speech to write a book.
OH MY FREAKING GAW!!!!!! Everytime the ex coworker and Corey said "you know" almost back to back I wanted to SCREAM!!!!!!! What is that???
Thanks for covering this case, you always bring the story of the victims lives in such a way that we are left feeling as though we know them. Your respect for the victims and their families. I was on fentanyl for years for chronic pain the effects are extremely strong and I feel so sorry that he died that way. I hope the family finds some peace in the future x
This woman is a monster. Those poor kids and family. I cannot believe the nerve of Kouri. His family is very strong and I pray they get justice, comfort, and healing.
I wished he would have left and called the police on her for poisoning him the first time! So sad! 😢
If his mother really did hand her a prenup the day of the wedding then this was a dysfunctional and toxic dynamic from the jump. How tragic. I feel so badly for Eric and his family.
I was thinking how odd too. If it was actually the mother and on wedding day it’s a bit messed up. It should have been discussed ahead of time. He let way too many things go unchallenged along the way if the details are accurate. Who would ever imagine her resorting to murder though 😢
Yes, signing a prenup like that would be grounds to have it thrown out in many states! That is duress.
That part. To think, she may have just divorced him for money instead.
I mean, a normal bride would have just halted the wedding on the spot. Not marry him, have 3 children and then murder him
@@kweenz109 I doubt it. Most people would go through with the wedding since they are in love at the time. The only people who would call off the wedding after putting so much time, effort and money into it is someone who was marrying for money to begin with. They would cut their losses and move on to an easier target.
This woman is truly horrific. How disturbed do you have to be to do this to your children??
You’re right! How do people think they are going to get away with killing their spouses? There is so much out there that things you delete from your phone and computers are retrievable. I guess when money is the only thing you have on your mind, any common sense goes out the window.
I feel like she wrote the book to minimize what she did, almost like “see?he’s still here, it’s not that big of a deal that he died, it’s fine”. I really think she expected her kids to get over it, and when she saw how they weren’t coping well with his death (as children would with the death of a parent), she wrote the book with them. Such a sad case, I hope the boys will be okay ❤
The premise of her book is fantastical. As if "with you in spirit" fixes the loss.
The way she is able to smile and act like she isn’t the one who caused all of this is terrifying😬
This woman is something else. How could you poison or actually "drug" your husband to death? Especially when you have kids that'll be devastated.. I just cant understand whats going on with all these people killing. SO many people are just killing these days like it's literally just taking out the trash... it's so wierd & evil.
I feel like it might not actually be more common than it used to be, so much as we know about it more. Either due to scientific advancements that actually means they get caught more or just social media and being able to see these videos from Annie etc. Not sure, just a thought though.
@@liznichols4916 I’m thinking the same thing. It’s always happened but with instant news we get now, we know about more of them. We didn’t have instant news years ago
Thank you Annie. Last night I watched the 2 hour day bell case. How can people be so cruel.
As a victim of hidden abuse this is so familiar to me. They act perfect and look perfect but they are monsters! So much of this is familiar and people don’t want to believe how horrible people can be.
I can relate
Nope. Sweet on the outside.. bitter on the inside
In her book promotion, the widow/killer/author said "you know" so many times (I literally lost count) that she lost all credibility. She's not articulate at all. The irony of her hypocrisy (writing a book to comfort the children of the man SHE murdered, for MONEY) is stunning. What a psychopath.
Exactly what I was thinking. The you knows were so irritating. Perhaps it’s a Utah thing though because the co-worker interview…she said you know even more that the murderer mom.
Shows how dumb she is too...left a trail of evidence a mile long, didn't even get the money bc the husband disinherited her and will be going to prison for the rest of her life. Not to mention destroyed her kids life and humiliated her family.
You know
🙄
The lady that introduced the 2, says "you know" every few words too. Starts early on in the video at around the timestamp 2:57
Worse it sounds like she is telling her kids, and others, that their Dad is still there. You just can't see him. He's just hanging around? Let's take Dad on a bike ride? That is not at all healthy. Depending on your beliefs Dad is in whatever afterlife there is. He's not a ghost. Yes, talk about him and memories and make his favorite meal and all that but to say he is there with them is rather sick in my opinion. I certainly don't want to think my father has been hanging around but we can no longer see or hear him. That is not comforting at all. If he was around he's be haunting her and hopefully making her life hell when the kids were not around.
You are my favorite true crime UA-camr. The compassion you have for the people who have suffered and the victims is amazing. Thank you for the great job you're doing ❤
Not Annie's 3 C's 😂 Thank you Annie for always speaking up for victims and calling out these evil people.
Scary thing is she was in one of the facebook groups I am in ><
Promoting this book and a lot of people support her as felt sorry and touched by the propose behind the book.
No words for how messed up this is.
Did she delete her FB?
Hello from South Africa 🇿🇦❤️
Have said this and will say it again thanks for being so consistent and THANKS TO YOUR AMAZING TEAM ❤❤❤
I'm a fellow South African and agree 💯 ❤to all 10 to life fans.
The mental anguish these poor boys are going through right now and probably the rest of their life is truly so so sad!!
This one. This one got me. I mean really? 😡 she is sick, and I’m so glad he found out about his life insurance and changed it without her knowing….he told multiple people which could be “ hearsay” but I absolutely believe she has been trying to kill him for a long time!
I hope there are more updates on this case. This is absolutely heart breaking. It just seems so incredibly unfair that such a good man who loose his life and his children’s life completely ruined because of a greedy woman. The motive is completely insane literally just pure stupidity and evil.
I surely hope this family especially those three precious boys find Justice in every way possible. God bless that family. I hope God ministers to every single person and brings a way for them to overcome this evil with a strong heart and a motivation to keep on doing the next right thing.
Thank you for covering this case
