The problem is that they could get custody, what kind of mother do you think she is? Have you ever had to give your child to someone you don’t trust? It’s horrible, especially if they beg not to be left. Narcissists often get pregnant immediately after marriage, or to force a marriage. They then hold the children over the other parents head. He probably stayed to keep things somewhat normal for the kids, to protect them.

I miss him and my mom. I lost 6 people close to me. Each one came with such heartache. My husband's was the hardest and still is. Maybe it's because I chose to live my life with him. I couldn't see life without him. Now it's forced upon me. This woman never loved anyone but herself. Yes, life is easier because the only person I have to take care of is myself but I sure miss laughing with my best friend. Be careful if you choose to date.

I had a former college friend commit a murder-suicide. I say former friend because I distanced myself from him after I graduated. My roommate met him working out in the campus gym. He seemed like a nice guy at first but then red flags started popping up (has a large firearm collection and seems to be obsessed with Nazi Germany). I felt bad for any female who met him on a dating site and that is exactly what happened. His life started to spiral out of control when he lost his job and his father passed away. When his girlfriend broke up with him he just snapped and went after her - murdered her then shot himself in the head.

I’m curious what the other warning signs were in their marriage besides her trying to poison him. On the 10 to Life episode coverage, the husband said to his sister after he was first poisoned on vacation from a sandwich, that “if anything ever happens to me, it was Kouri.” Usually if a spouse gets sick after a meal made from their significant other, it’s usually chalked up to spoiled food. I wonder what made him immediately jump to this conclusion years ago?

It’s odd to stay with a potentially murderous wife, but there is something even weirder in this story: Why on earth didn’t husband let her know that he had changed the life insurance policy back + excluded her from his will? That info would have saved him. It’s like it was more important to him to play this prank on her than to stay alive!

@lesleymay6757 Жыл бұрын

Good point. However, if shes evil enough to do what she did, he could assume she would go ballistic with the news and possibly hurt him and their kids? Maybe he didn't want to "set her off".

@seaglasscolor 10 ай бұрын

I think he would have been terrified of her reaction if he had told her he changed the will back. Either way, she was gonna get him. It’s really too bad he didn’t leave her. Of course, he may have been terrified to do that.

Defense for husband: (1) a part of all of us humans wants to suspend disbelief that the nightmare isn’t happening. (2) he might have been worried about losing his kids whether thru custody after a divorce or harm. (3) if we say that it sometimes takes a woman 7 (or something like that) times to leave an abusive relationship, then we need to understand that men could also be in abusive relationships and struggle to leave. Poor man. Poor children. This is such a sad and disturbing story, so let’s not direct any blame toward the victim.

People ask "why didn't he just leave?" Sadly if he had, she probably would have gotten custody unless he was somehow able to prove his suspicions about her, which he likely didn't have concrete evidence for. Also they were just suspicions; he probably didn't truly think she would kill him It's not uncommon for men to stay with abusive women who have exhibited past violent/dangerous behavior, because people tend to underestimate women's potential for evil until it's too late. Domestic violence and homicide are still almost always perceived as something only women need to fear from dangerous men

It's interesting that Eric changed not only his will but also his insurance beneficiary. I do wonder, because I don't remember hearing it mentioned in the video, whether he specifically named his sons as beneficiaries, and/or his business partner. If he removed Kouri as a beneficiary, hopefully this means the insurance company can't refuse to pay the benefit because she murdered him. If she were a beneficiary, this would be the exact result.
