FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke spent his career reading deception in real time. His "Tempo Tells" framework identifies verbal and nonverbal deviations that reveal when someone is performing rather than authentically responding. In this episode, we apply that framework to fourteen months of Kouri Richins' public behavior after Eric's death—ending with her May 2023 arrest.The 911 call is clinical material. "He's not breathing, he's cold, he doesn't have a pulse." Robin explains what trained

Shame is the abuser's final weapon — and it's the one that keeps working long after they're gone. Shame for staying. Shame for not seeing it sooner. Shame for what you tolerated. Shame for needing help. That internal voice telling you you're weak, stupid, broken — that's not your voice. It was installed by someone who needed you to believe you were the problem.Put it down. Not all at once. Piece by piece.The final episode of our coercive control series is about what true crime coverage never

Two cases where the evidence tells competing stories. Both reaching moments that will define what comes next.In the Kouri Richins trial, both realities exist at once. The prosecution has motive evidence that stacks to the ceiling: five times the lethal fentanyl dose, a forged life insurance policy, a boyfriend she booked a Caribbean vacation with for the month after Eric's death, texts wishing her husband would "just go away." Two weeks before he died, Eric told a friend he thought his wife was

The Nancy Guthrie investigation should be about finding an 84-year-old woman taken from her home in the middle of the night. Instead, the sheriff leading the case has become the story himself.Former Chief Deputy Richard Kastigar told the Daily Mail that Sheriff Chris Nanos has "great disdain" for the FBI and holds a grudge from a 2015 investigation. The president of the deputies' union says it's become an "ego case." A former lieutenant who ran against Nanos—and is now suing him—calls him "a

This wasn't a professional job. The evidence says so.The suspect visited Nancy Guthrie's home before the night she disappeared. When he came back, he didn't know about the doorbell camera. Tried to disable it and failed. Grabbed weeds to cover the lens. That's improvisation. That's someone who thought they had it figured out—and didn't.If this was a burglary that turned into something the perpetrator never intended, what's waiting for them on the other side?Eric Faddis spent years as a felony
