The Killer Cocktail - Eric and Kouri Richins

The Killer Cocktail - Eric and Kouri Richins

When 39-year-old Eric Richins died unexpectedly in his sleep, the people who loved him were left searching for answers. But there was one thing they couldn't ignore: before he died, Eric had warned his family that his wife, Kouri, wasn't who she appeared to be. At first, those words seemed impossible to understand. Then, just months after his death, Kouri published a children's book about helping kids cope with the loss of a parent, a book she said was inspired by her own grief. To everyone, she looked like a devoted widow trying to help other families through unimaginable loss. But less than a year later, the truth would begin to unravel, and Eric's family would finally learn what really happened. Learn more about your ad choices.

The NY Kidnapping Club

I went into this episode thinking I was researching one kidnapping. Instead, I uncovered a story that completely changed the way I look at American history. Sometimes the most important stories aren't the ones we've never heard... they're the ones we were never taught to ask about. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Crime Capsule - Sonia "Sunny" Jacobs and Jesse Tafero

On this episode of Wife of Crime we are going back to a case that has impacted me for over 10 years. Sonia "Sunny" Jacobs and her husband Jesse Tafero were 2 self described hippies who needed a ride when their car broke down. Walter Rhodes, a co worker of Jesse's gave the family that ride and what started off as an innocent favor would turn into a series of events that would change Sunny, Jesse and their 2 children's lives forever! Sunny would spend the next 17 years fighting for freedom in a system that worked hard against her. Through it all she would spend her time in jail spreading love and positivity, teaching everyone she could about the power of meditation. Sunny sadly passed away last year in June 2025. We want to honor her with this episode and use her story as a reminder that no matter what you're faced with keep pushing and keep hope alive. It all starts with your mindset!
