A Utah woman who wrote a children’s book about dealing with grief after her husband died last year was charged with murder in his death by prosecutors who say the man died from a fentanyl overdose.
This photo provided by KPCW.org shows Kouri Richins at the KPCW studio in Park City, Utah, April 12, 2023. Richins was arrested on Monday, May 8, in Utah and is accused in charging documents of poisoning her husband with a lethal dose of fentanyl at their home in Kamas, a small mountain town near Park City. – After her husband died last year, she wrote a children’s book on grief. Now she’s charged with murder in his death.
The murder charges come months after Richins self-published “Are you with me?” — an illustrated storybook about a young boy wondering about his father's presence in his life after the father dies. The charges are based on officers’ interactions with Richins that night and the account of an “unnamed acquaintance” who claims to have sold her the fentanyl. The acquaintance told investigators they sold Richins the opioid hydrocodone once and fentanyl twice — in February and March 2022.
“Shortly after their dinner, Eric became very ill. Eric believed that he had been poisoned. Eric told a friend that he thought his wife was trying to poison him,” investigators wrote, referring to the Valentine's Day incident.In Richins’ book, the boy wonders if his father, who has died, notices his goals at a soccer game, his nerves on the first day of school or the presents he found under a Christmas tree.
