Killer Wife Murders Her Husband For _500K _ Then Tries To Outsmart Detectives

A Utah mother of three wrote a children's book about grief after her husband's death—while prosecutors say she was the one who killed him. Kouri Richins was convicted of poisoning Eric Richins with five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in 2022, then penned "Are you with me?" to help her sons cope with the loss she caused. Prosecutors revealed she had tried to lace his sandwich weeks earlier and stood to inherit $4 million in assets, plus a $2 million life insurance policy she secretly took out on him. Her three sons, now ages 9 to 13, told the court they are terrified of her and asked that she never be released. The judge agreed, sentencing her to life without parole, calling her "too dangerous to ever be free."
