The Murder of Eric Richins: Betrayed by the Author of a Grief Book

from Moms and Mysteries: A True Crime Podcast · host Moms and Mysteries Podcast

Eric Richins was a devoted father of three and a successful Utah businessman, known for his big heart and infectious laugh. In March 2022, his life was tragically cut short when he was found dead in his bedroom from a lethal dose of fentanyl. The investigation into his shocking death would soon uncover a web of deceit, financial turmoil, and betrayal, leading to the arrest of the one person he should have been able to trust most: his wife, Kouri. This week we tell the story of Eric Richins, the man whose life was stolen, and the disturbing case against the woman who wrote a children's book on grief after allegedly murdering him.
