She Poisoned Him on Valentine’s Day. He Survived. She Tried Again. — The Kouri Richins Case

Utah mom Kouri Richins laced her husband Eric’s Moscow Mule cocktail with five times the lethal dose of fentanyl on the night of March 3rd, 2022. He never woke up. What investigators uncovered afterward was even more shocking — secret life insurance policies, a forged signature, a prior poisoning attempt on Valentine’s Day, and an affair. Then, while under investigation, Kouri published a children’s picture book about coping with grief. She was convicted on all five counts in March 2026 and sentenced to life without parole this week. This is the full story.
