Kouri Richins Trial 2026: The Children's Book, The Morning Show — How Narcissist Killers Need the Spotlight

After Eric Richins died, Kouri wrote a children's book. "Are You With Me?" About a father who becomes a firefly. She went on morning shows. Performed the grieving widow. Put herself at the center of the tragedy.

Prosecutors say she killed him.

This is Part 4 of The Perfect Wife — examining the narcissist's fatal flaw. The need to be seen. Even for murder.

Nancy Crampton-Brophy understood this. In 2011, she wrote an essay called "How to Murder Your Husband." She discussed methods. She wrote: "If the murder is supposed to set me free, I certainly don't want to spend any time in jail."

Seven years later, she shot her husband Daniel twice.

The essay was excluded from trial — too old. But the jury convicted her anyway.

She bought a gun with traceable methods. Drove her own minivan to the crime scene. Published her murder methodology under her real name.

The narcissist can't stay invisible. They need credit for their cleverness.

Kouri wrote herself as the grieving mother helping children heal. Nancy wrote herself as the expert on spousal homicide. Both needed the spotlight. And it exposed them.
