Two cases demanding psychological analysis. One expert providing the answers.
Nancy Guthrie has been missing for three weeks. Her kidnapper hasn't communicated once—no demands, no ransom, no proof she's alive. The silence is total. What does it mean?
Eric Richins reportedly told people his wife was trying to poison him. He took protective measures—lawyers, insurance changes, asset protection. Then he stayed married to her. Prosecutors allege Kouri killed him with fentanyl after multiple attempts.
Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins True Crime Today for comprehensive analysis of both cases. With over thirty years working with victims and perpetrators of violence, Scott examines what the behavioral evidence reveals.
On Guthrie: The psychology of kidnappers who don't communicate. In hostage situations, silence isn't neutral—it's evidence. What does three weeks of nothing suggest about the perpetrator's psychology and the case's trajectory?
On Richins Part 1: Inside the mind of a partner who allegedly chooses murder. How does killing become the "rational" choice? We analyze the language, the method, and the alleged performance of grief that followed.
On Richins Part 2: The victim's experience. Why someone might take protective steps but not leave. How the isolation of an unbelievable suspicion keeps victims trapped. What warning signs others should recognize.
This is the full interview—expert psychological insight into criminal silence, partner homicide, and the forces that make the unthinkable happen.

The Kouri Richins murder trial is underway in Park City, Utah—and the court documents paint a picture far more disturbing than the headlines suggest.
According to prosecutors, Eric Richins didn't just die suddenly. He saw it coming. Court filings reveal he told his family that if anything happened to him, Kouri was to blame. His sister testified he believed Kouri tried to kill him during a trip to Greece years earlier. And on Valentine's Day 2022—just eighteen days before his death—Eric told two friends he thought his wife tried to poison him after a sandwich left him unable to breathe.
So why didn't he leave?
Family spokesman Greg Skordas put it simply: "I can give you three good reasons he stuck around and they're all under the age of ten."
Eric had secretly changed his will, created a trust naming his sister as trustee, and removed Kouri as his life insurance beneficiary. He consulted divorce attorneys. But according to those close to him, he stayed because leaving meant handing his three sons to the very person he feared.
Prosecutors allege Kouri was deeply in debt—over $4.5 million to more than 20 lenders—while Eric's estate was worth roughly $4 million. They say she was having an affair, texting her boyfriend "love you" just thirty minutes before allegedly handing Eric a fentanyl-laced drink.
Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder, insurance fraud, and forgery. Her defense says there's "zero evidence" of how fentanyl entered Eric's system.
The trial is expected to last through late March. We're tracking every development.
