The Grief Author | Annie Elise Reaction to Kouri Richins Sentencing

The Runaway Bride

Four days before a 600‑person Georgia wedding, a churchgoing bride laces up for a quick jog and disappears, leaving her keys and three‑carat ring behind like she’s been plucked out of her own love story. As search teams flood the town and the FBI closes in on her fiancé, a call from hundreds of miles away blows apart the kidnapping tale and leaves everyone wondering whether Jennifer Wilbanks was running for her life…or from it.

Dr. Harini Bhat is a clinical pharmacist and storyteller obsessed with the moments in history that still can't be fully explained. Every week she investigates real events that defy easy explanation. Mass hysterias. Vanished civilizations. Medical oddities. Strange signals. Unexplained phenomena that keep repeating across centuries, as if history is trying to tell us something.  Hidden History doesn't dismiss ancient events as myth or superstition. It treats them as open case files, shaped by the limits of knowledge, technology, and record-keeping. Because the unknown isn't a failure of explanation. It's a constant in human experience, one that evolves, repeats, and sometimes deepens the more we learn.  New episodes drop every Monday.

Mountain Man Mike

A reclusive “mountain man” in the Montana backcountry lives off the grid with his wolf‑dogs and a stack of trespass complaints, convinced the rutted dirt track to his cabin is his to control. When he disappears and dismembered remains in garbage bags surface along a lonely mountain pass, the bad blood on Turk Road suddenly looks less like a neighbor dispute and more like the start of a chilling question: who decided this feud would end in murder?

The Grief Author | Annie Elise Reaction to Kouri Richins Sentencing

Kouri Richins has been sentenced — and we're breaking down every detail with Annie Elise. But first, Cooper and Jonathan share the wild ride that got Kouri here. Convicted of aggravated murder for poisoning her husband Eric with five times a lethal dose of fentanyl, Kouri faced either 25 years to life or life without parole. The prosecution asked for the maximum — and Eric's own sons said they're afraid of what she'd do if released. Annie Elise (Serialously, 10 to Life) joins us to break down the verdict, the victim impact statements, the sentencing decision, and what comes next — including the expected appeals process.

The Grief Author

A 39‑year‑old Utah stonemason is found dead in his bed, and his wife tells everyone it was a sudden medical tragedy, even writing a children’s book about boys learning to live without their dad. When toxicology points to a powerful opioid instead of fate, that comforting story starts to look less like grief and more like a script, and the question becomes whether Kouri Richins was mourning a husband, or workshopping a perfect widow role the whole world was ready to believe.
