Sometimes, fact really is stranger — and much more macabre — than fiction.
In a stunning development for a Utah mom and children’s book author, she’s now being accused of heinously murdering her own husband for profit.
According to theAssociated Press, 35-year-old Kouri Richins had written a children’s book about grief following the death of her husband.
In May 2023, Richins had self-published the illustrated children’s book “Are You With Me?” which follows a father with angel wings looking after his young son after passing away.
Richins claimed that the book’s purpose was to help children, including her own, learn to cope with the grief of losing a parent. Eric Richins, Kouri’s then-husband, passed away in 2022.
But is there more to this story than meets the eye?
Prosecutors certainly think so.
The Associated Press reported that prosecutors painted Richins as a money-hungry monster who used fentanyl to kill her husband.
In March 2022, Richins allegedly slipped five times the lethal dose of fentanyl into a cocktail that her husband was drinking.
Alarmingly, this apparently wasn’t even the first attempt, as Richins was further accused of trying to poison him during Valentine’s Day with “a fentanyl-laced sandwich that made him break out in hives and black out.”
