Eric actually suspected Kouri was trying to kill him. So he changed his will and insurance policy and made the beneficiary his sister. Kouri found out about the change as Eric was considering divorce and she attempted to change them back to her, but Eric was alerted and reverted things back to his sister. So when Kouri tried to get payment on the insurance, she found she got nothing. Then she even tried to break into Eric's personal safe even before Eric was buried. One of Eric's other sisters caught her in the act (the safe now being Eric's sister's property according to the will) and Kouri started hitting Eric's sister for trying to stop her. Then Kouri began threatening Eric's parents and sisters by saying she wouldn't let them ever see Eric's boys if they didn't give her the money and made up lies to the boys that Eric's family didn't love them and that was why they were never around. Of course, Kouri was the reason the family wasn't able to be with the boys until her arrest. There were also special events put on to to raise money for Kouri and the boys or charities in general in Eric's honor, and Kouri forbid Eric's family from attending.

The doctors did an emergency c-section and apart from being a month premature, but baby was fine. The mother died, the husband got life with no possibility of release, and the wife's parents took full custody of the baby. That was 20 years ago and I moved away, so I don't know anything beyond that. The easiest thing would be to tell the child her parents died in a car accident.

I’m from Pikeville Kentucky, I can’t wait for you to tell the informant story!

[@XisoKingsQueens]

I have 2 boys, and this story breaks my heart ... To grow up without a father, then to find out that the person responsible for it is one you call mom ... The pain, that is a different, terrible kind of pain ....

i have been excitedly waiting all day!! my mom and i watch your videos and then call each-other and talk about them. thank you for being apart of our Sunday afternoons!!

[@minxstole93]

I see my dad every other Monday (we live kind of far apart otherwise it'd be every Monday) and we catch up and watch the latest two MrBallen episodes together. It's a very cherished ritual of ours. 🩵

I took a break from watching ur vids so I could binge watch, but I forgot how absolutely amazing you are at telling story’s. Truly campfire material

[@zoeyjackson5974]

I want to listen to your podcasts but I’m a sucker for some visuals with it 😂 love your content, keep it up 😊

[@tofutoph]

This man has such good storytelling skills. He would make even boring and trivial things sound interesting.

[@MarioGoatse]

It wouldn’t be a MrBallen video without 1000 comments slobbering on his knob.

His videos now are very long and drawn out. His videos from 2020-2021 were tighter and much better.

[@jaylambert4700]

Your great energy. How much I enjoy listening to you, its like being around a friend. I really appreciate you and all the time taken to make these so good.

[@TheUsualSuspekt]

Your delivery is forever on point. You would be great telling Halloween tales to friends and family.

[@andy56duky]

Just like his marksmanship in the navy seals.

There is an old joke Halloween story from my part of the world that I would LOVE to hear MrBallen tell…My Long Bony Fingers and My Ruby Red Lips 😂😂

The snidbit of the Podcast at the end of the video was brilliant. Great advertisement for the Pod! Love the VHS static effect

[@xinixproductions.]

Mr ballen is the perfect example of a real survivor. Passion beats emotional scars every time❤

Again, Mr. Ballen's storytelling actually makes this criminal's story believable. Truly talented!

[@abbyc925]

I love all of your stories! Thank you for putting so much effort in them! Its a great way to end an afternoon

[@MrBallen]
