What motives are suggested for Kouri Richens' actions?

T.J. Holmes 2:53
Hey there, folks. It is Saturday, February 21st, and a trial is starting on Monday that true crime enthusiasts and Internet detectives have been waiting for years on. It's the case of an author who wrote a children's book to help kids deal with the death of a parent. She wrote the book, police say, after she killed her own husband. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ killed her own husband, who happened to be the father of her children. And just to throw in a little more, she did it. And the motive was money and another man. Ropes, this story has everything.
Amy Robach 3:35
It really does. And it reads like a true crime novel. And yes, they say within weeks of her publishing this book on helping children deal with grief, of the loss of a parent. She was charged with taking a parent away from her own child. It really is. I mean, that is something where truth is stranger than fiction.

How did Kouri Richens allegedly attempt to kill her husband before?

T.J. Holmes 3:59
What do you think about the title of the book? Knowing this now with all the context, because I was very curious. You were the one that brought this story to my attention that it was coming up on Monday. And I first thought was, what was the book title?
Amy Robach 4:11
What do you think of it? The book title is Are You With Me? And so it's talking about the spirit or the, I don't want to say ghost, but just the energy of a loved one still with you from above looking down as an angel, I guess. I believe that was kind of the through line. But that is pretty creepy if you're the one who... now is charged with making someone an angel by killing them viciously.
T.J. Holmes 4:38
And this book was published in 2023. Her husband died in 2022. She was charged, right, weeks after the book was actually published.
