UPDATES: As of the latest hearing today, June 12th, a judge ruled that Kouri will remain behind bars while she awaits her trial. In this hearing, Eric’s sister, Amy, gave a powerful victim impact statement, ”We have scarcely gone a day without finding out some new allegations or evidence regarding something Kouri appears to have maliciously done to attack and undermine my brother, his three little boys and our family," she said. A trial date has not been set.

Since recording, Kouri’s google searches have been uncovered and it points even more to her guilt. She looked up things like “can you overdose on fentanyl” and “signs of being under federal investigation.” These are just two of many incriminating searches.

who’s here after the verdict?

@jessicalejandraa 3 years ago

She was in the same Facebook group for grieving widows I'm in, we were ALL in shock... Unbelievable.. especially for her children. As a widow myself, i cant even imagine.

@KelliGreenIvy 3 years ago

The cashier’s sadness broke my heart right from the beginning . It’s not her fault at all but I know she’s feeling bad 😢

@iamaraebarbie 2 years ago

This case has rocked me. She was in widow groups with me on social media. The widow community in those groups were SHOCKED.

@jukie9 3 years ago

The worst thing about all this is she robbed her own children of their dad and now they don’t have a mom either. Even if she hated her husband how could she break her own kids hearts like that. So sad for them

@sarahleony 3 years ago

Absolutely no judgement, just for anyone who needs to hear this: you do not have to stay in an unhappy or unhealthy relationship for the sake of your children. Children will ultimately benefit from their parents separating as opposed to staying together and being miserable or toxic ❤

@itsgabriela.br18 3 years ago

She is honestly crazy. Killing Eric, throwing a party, suing Eric’s sister, writing a grief book and the pain she brought to her children. Also I feel for the coworker she look distraught 😔

@GenetMJF 6 months ago

She was found GUILTY today! 🎉

@iradukundaalice2950 3 years ago

Imagine depriving your own kids the warm hugs and love of their lovely father, who would give them as much kisses and love they want😢😢 that woman is beyond evil

@Magsrvt 3 years ago

That poor lady who introduced them probably feels so guilty 🥺 she seems so sweet and genuine

@xelizel 3 years ago

She didn't even write the book, she used an online ghost writing service. She even left a review on the website. Just shows how much more disconnected she is from it and how it was just purely to make money.

@punky19761 3 years ago

Now her kids are going to need a book to help them deal with mom killing dad, and other kids are going to need a book to help them deal with this grief book that was written by a murderer. Way to spread the horror and sadness around, Kouri. 👍🏽

It's scary how easily psychopath look like us, walk amongst us. Terrifying.
RIP Eric

@adamt1316 3 years ago

I could never live with someone who I think is trying to kill me, I’m sure Eric was so scared but needed to make sure his kids were safe from that psychopath woman he married. Sad story, and always boils down to money. Oh and the book? She really thought she got away with it. Friggin crazy

@SnackSizeChaos.1 3 years ago

How the hell she thought she would get away with her husband’s murder? The deleted messages, the life insurance, the failed attempts of killing him before, the PARTY on the very next day of his passing... Oh my God! How stupid can you be?! This woman is EVIL and stupid.

@brees3 3 years ago

Dude, if your spouse ever changes your life insurance policy without you knowing, you leave ASAP. Get a hotel. Sleep on a friend's couch. There's no motive for a person to do that without your permission unless they're murdering you.

@ronyalemerrill 3 years ago

What level of stupid do you have to be to throw a closing party on an estate the day after your spouse dies....That's disgusting.

@zebralove2840 2 years ago

Not wanting to subject his children to a divorce is one thing, but taking a chance on his wife not actually killing him after he told people she tried, that's another thing. Very unfortunate.
