Trident Investigations

The murder trial of Kouri Richins began this week in Park City — and one detail most of the national coverage is missing is that a private investigator played a critical role in building this case long before an arrest was ever made.

Eric Richins' family hired a PI and invested roughly $100,000 into the investigation after his 2022 death. That work helped surface evidence of alleged insurance fraud, forged documents, and financial deception that prosecutors are now presenting at trial.

We broke down the investigative techniques at play in this case — from financial forensics and digital evidence to witness interviews and background investigations — and what it means for Utah families facing unanswered questions.
