Kouri Richins Defrauded Her Best Friend? The New Charges Explained | Case Brief
Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/43ULdoW-g4wNew charges against Kouri Richins are building upon her existing charges for the murder and attempted murder of her husband, Eric Richins. A significant portion of the new charges revolves around Kouri Richins's financial dealings and mounting debt. Richins wrote checks from an account with a zero balance and an extended line of credit to her business account (which was negative), then immediately transferred funds out before the checks could bounce. This included a $1,000 transfer to her mother and $2,000 to her personal account.In late 2021, Richins owned a home with substantial short-term, high-interest loans. She unsuccessfully tried to refinance the property into a traditional mortgage. She then "seller-financed" the property for her best friend, her best friend's husband, and their three children, who moved in and agreed to pay $2,900/month in rent with an option to buy. The best friend wired $45,000 as a down payment for a supposed long-term mortgage. Richins immediately spent this money on unrelated personal expenses and other creditors, leaving the best friend vulnerable to foreclosure and eventual eviction from the home.The case is still scheduled for trial in February 2026. The financial charges are separate from the murder case but some information will overlap as evidence of motive and consciousness of guilt.RESOURCESKouri Richins Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gJYyEMQDM_Cn4icqWBV20fWPreliminary Hearing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCpQt7jwelEBail Hearing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL62suOhaD8This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy
