Kouri Richins Trial 2026: Eric Took the Drink Because He Trusted Her — So Did These Men

Eric Richins took the Moscow Mule because his wife made it. That's what trust looks like in a marriage.

According to prosecutors, Kouri poisoned it with fentanyl.

Michael Wallace took the drinks his wife Stacey made him. So did David Castor. Both dead from antifreeze poisoning in Syracuse, New York — 2000 and 2005. Both while Stacey played the devoted wife, the loving caretaker, the woman who would never hurt them.

She hurt them every day. With every drink. For months.

When investigators closed in, Stacey tried to frame her own daughter. Drugged twenty-year-old Ashley, typed a fake suicide note confessing to both murders, and left her to die.

Ashley survived. And her survival destroyed Stacey's entire story.

Prosecutors allege Kouri Richins follows the same pattern. The devoted wife. The favorite drink. The fentanyl allegedly hidden inside. According to testimony, Eric got violently ill on Valentine's Day 2022.

One month later, he was dead.

That's the caretaker playbook. Poison what you serve. Murder through acts of love. Use trust itself as the delivery system.

Eric trusted Kouri. Michael trusted Stacey. David trusted Stacey.

All of them took the drink.
