Here is a short video of Kouri Richins, the Utah wife who was recently convicted of poisoning her husband., then writing a children’s book on dealing with grief. The video is from the officer who responded to the call at the residence at 3 a.m. Her husband, Eric, was unresponsive. It was later determined Kouri had given him a lethal dose of fentanyl in his drink. First, note how Kouri doesn’t seem to be under stress in the bedroom as she watches first responders attempt to save her husband. When an officer asks her to come out of the room and begins to ask her questions, the emotions then begin. Like most deceptive people, Kouri thinks this is the proper time to show that type of emotion. The officer asks her what time it was when she saw him alert. Kouri states they had a drink together at 9 (this is the drink believed to contain the drug). People normally start their story where the incident began. Kouri knows that was when the incident began because that was when she poisoned her husband. Kouri fails to make any eye contact with the officer as she continues to relate her story. She then goes into what is known as a quasi-fetal position. This is a comfort-seeking position often taken by those being deceptive. Kouri’s hands then go to her face, also often seen in those being deceptive. None of the signs in and of themselves are a clear indicator someone is lying; they are indicators of stress. In this case, that stress is due to deception. Could it be the stress from her husband being unresponsive? Yes, it could. However, so many indicators in this context in such a short period are certainly cause for concern... put your shovel down and start digging! All of these signs and more are detailed in my book, Uncover the Truth. If you want to know more about how people are truthful or deceptive, read the book!
