Kouri Richins: The Grief Book Interview — What a Psychotherapist and FBI Expert See Now

Kouri Richins sat on camera before her arrest and promoted a children's grief book she paid someone else to write. She talked about loss, healing, and her children. A jury has since convicted her of murdering the man the book was about.

Tony Brueski brings psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke to examine that interview with everything the jury now knows. Shavaun Scott breaks down what performed grief looks like from a psychological standpoint — the construction of a public persona, the specific signals that distinguish authentic emotional expression from managed presentation, and what Kouri's behavior in that interview reveals about her psychological state in the months between Eric's death and her arrest. Robin Dreeke breaks down the behavioral record — what a trained FBI analyst sees in her word choices, her delivery, and her non-verbal behavior when he watches that interview knowing she has since been convicted of murder.

The book was ghostwritten. The story was managed. Here's what the experts see when they watch it now.
