LOVE MURDER

The Grunds of Peru, Indiana were a couple people just couldn’t help but notice. Susan was a glamorous younger wife, Jim a high-powered atty. Together they made a dashing couple and had all the trappings of wealth: a beautiful home, fancy trips, a Cessna airplane, designer duds and the best that money could buy. But behind closed doors the marriage was threatened by infidelity, financial arguments and one member of the couple’s dark secrets.

Today, we are sharing part one of a two-part series from the award-winning true crime podcast RedHanded, hosted by Suruthi Bala and Hannah Maguire. RedHanded is the UK's #1 True Crime podcast, covering everything from high-profile murders and cults to con artists and cultural catastrophes, always asking not just what happened, but why.
In part one, Suruthi and Hannah dive into the case of Kouri Richins, a Utah mother who published a children's book about grief after her husband Eric died in what was ruled an accidental overdose. Just a month after appearing on local TV to promote it, Kouri was arrested and charged with murdering Eric herself. Was she a grieving wife trying to rebuild her family's life, or a Black Widow who plotted to poison her husband for his money? Head over to RedHanded to catch part two, where Hannah and Suruthi pull apart the trial and discuss how Kouri unwittingly destroyed her own defence while trying to outwit the prosecution.

In the summer of 2006, a young mother in Limerick, Ireland suffered an asthma attack at home. She didn't survive. Her husband was left alone with two babies, a dog, and a house full of grief. So he did what any desperate parent would do. He asked for help. He just had no idea what was coming.
