[Crazy Cat Lady]

Maybe she was looking for material for her book?

After her husband died last year, she wrote a children's book on grief. Now she's charged with murder in his death.

Kouri Richins, 33, was arrested Monday 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.

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.

A cold one, though. Her husband thought that she had tried to kill him several times before, including on Valentine's Day. The third time was a charm.

Kouri Richins allegedly bought nearly $2M in life insurance on her deceased husband​

Not only did that Moscow Mule she made her husband have quite a deadly kick, there are new accusations against Kouri Richins. Court documents point to life insurance policies worth millions of dollars that she allegedly secretly took out on him.

New court documents show the 33-year-old mom took out nearly $2 million in life insurance policies without her husband even knowing about it, $250,000 in home equity, and $100,000 from his bank accounts.

She seems to have orchestrated meticulously the death of her husband; I don't think anybody should be surprised if the state goes after the death penalty," trial lawyer Danielle Cohen-Higgins said.

When asked about the court documents, Richins' lawyers told ABC News, "the state amended the charging information and has not turned over discovery yet that supports it, therefore we couldn't be prepared to argue about the sufficiency of the evidence."

'What is a lethal dose of fentanyl?': Alleged search history of mom charged with husband's murder​

Other searches include: "can cops force you to do a lie detector test?" "Luxury prisons for the rich in America," "death certificate says pending, will life insurance still pay?" "If someone is poisoned what does it go down on the death certificate as," and "How to permanently delete information from an iPhone remotely."

The new details on the widow's alleged search history emerged as part of the prosecution's case against Richins, 33, who will be in a Park City, Utah, court Monday for a detention hearing. A judge is expected to decide if she should be released or remain in custody pending the outcome of her trial.

Prosecutors allege she killed Eric Richins, her husband of nine years, with a lethal dose of fentanyl. She faces charges of criminal homicide, aggravated murder and three counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. She has not yet entered a plea.

"Eric made and requested several unusual to highly unusual choices and provisions to his estate plan," said attorney Kristal Bowman-Carter, who counseled Eric on estate planning, according to the documents.

Those unusual requests included that his wife not be designated as his health care agent should one be needed and that his wife and children be provided for, but with the caveat that she should be unable to control the financials. Eric chose his father and sister to be trustees on his family's behalf, according to the documents.

Eric sought to "protect the three young sons hdone and Kouri had together in the long-term by ensuring that Kouri would never be in a position to manage his property after his death," Bowman-Carter said.

In a phone conversation the day after Eric's death, Bowman-Carter explained the trust to Kouri. She said Kouri "became extremely upset. Her behavior (led) me to believe she was learning this for the first time."

I don't think she'll be in a "luxury prison for the rich."

And she was denied bail!

Wearing a simple white, button-down shirt, black pants and her brown hair tied back, Richins was flanked by her attorneys in Summit County court for a Monday detention hearing, where she was ordered held in jail without bail.

What a liar: Prosecutors said evidence actually showed EMS responders — not Kouri —were likely the first to perform CPR on Eric.

Richins cried in court Monday as prosecutors read a text message she allegedly sent to her “best friend”.

“I pumped so damn hard, so hard, screaming at him to come back to life,” the text message allegedly stated.

Richins could be seen wiping her face with a tissue as it was read out.

And this wasn't suspicious: Eric's sister Amy recalled how Richins wouldn’t help with funeral costs but allegedly bought a $2 million house within two days of Eric’s death. She also claimed Richins had previously assaulted her and tried to cut Eric’s family out of his children’s lives.

No luxury prisons for you, Kouri!

This bitch needs to STFU. She won't stop at anything in her relentless pursuit of the almighty dollar.

"Entitled" bitch sues estate to force sale of million-dollar ‘Family Home’ where fentanyl OD took place​

The Utah wife and mom accused of murdering her husband and writing a book for her kids on grief is trying to force the sale of her million-dollar “Family Home,” claiming in a civil lawsuit that she is “entitled” to receive half of such a sale, plus proceeds from the sale of business her spouse co-owned.

Court records show that the criminal defendant filed a lawsuit in Summit County on June 9 against Katie Richins-Benson, Eric’s sister and a representative of his estate, contending that the “widow” is “entitled” to large sums of money as part of a prenuptial agreement. The lawsuit hit the docket three days before 3rd District Judge Richard Mrazik credited prosecutors’ argument that Kouri posed a “substantial danger.”

Notably, prosecutors cited something Kouri Richins allegedly said about Katie Richins-Benson in a recorded jailhouse call as proof she remained a danger undeserving of bail.

“[T]he State is in possession of an audio recording from the Summit County Jail where the Defendant is discussing with her family about the State’s need to prove that the Defendant is a danger to the community,” the motion said. “During the conversation, Defendant’s mother suggests that the only person Defendant is a danger to is Katie [Richins-Benson], Eric Richins’ sister and trustee. Defendant responded, ‘Yeah, ha, ha.'”

According to the civil lawsuit, Eric and Kouri, while engaged in November 2021, “purchased certain real property and related improvements located at 282 Willow Court” — the “Family Home” where Eric was allegedly murdered — from Katie Richins-Benson and her husband “for a total purchase price of $400,000.” That house’s value has ballooned near $2 million, and Kouri wants half of any sale amount, the filing said.

A Utah mother who published a children's book about grief after the death of her husband will serve a life sentence without the possibility of parole for his murder, a judge ruled Wednesday.

Kouri Richins was convicted in March of aggravated murder for lacing her husband Eric Richins' cocktail with five times the lethal dose of fentanyl at their home near Park City in 2022. A jury also found her guilty of four other felonies, including insurance fraud, forgery and attempted murder for trying to poison her husband weeks earlier on Valentine's Day with a fentanyl-laced sandwich.

Judge Richard Mrazik said Richins is "simply too dangerous to ever be free" when handing down the sentence on the day that her husband would have turned 44.

Her attorneys said they will appeal the conviction and sentence. Richins has been adamant in maintaining she is innocent, saying Wednesday that the verdict was "an absolute lie."

She absolutely can't even pretend to be grieving for him, all she ever wanted was his money and it's very apparent that nothing else matters to her, not even her children.
