A Utah mother of three who authorities say fatally poisoned her husband then wrote a children’s book about grieving has been scheduled for a bail hearing
FILE - A house where Kouri Richins and Eric Richins lived is shown, May 11, 2023, in Francis, Utah. Kouri Richins, the woman who wrote a children’s book about grief after her husband’s death and was later arrested on accusations of killing him, is scheduled to appear in court on Monday, June 12, after new evidence pertaining to possible motives led to her case being postponed.
The case became a true-crime fixation when charges were filed last month, prompting people to pore over the children's book and scrutinize remarks she made while promoting it as a tool to help children grieve the loss of a loved one. The attorneys said prosecutors “simply accepted” the narrative from Eric Richins’ family that his wife had poisoned him “and worked backward in an effort to support it" by spending about 14 months investigating and finding no evidence to support their theory.
Charging documents and warrants detail interviews in which the informant said she sold Richins hydrocodone and fentanyl in the weeks and months before her husband’s death. Prosecutors say the drug purchase timeline corresponds with Eric Richins' death and their allegation that his wife laced the sandwich weeks prior.
