The Grief Book: How Kouri Richins Hid a Murder Behind a Children's Story
The Grief Book: How Kouri Richins Hid a Murder Behind a Children's Story In March 2022, Eric Richins of Kamas, Utah died of acute fentanyl intoxication, with five times the lethal dose detected in his system. His wife, Kouri Richins, was convicted of first-degree aggravated murder in March 2026 following a trial built on forensic accounting, toxicology reports, witness testimony, and a handwritten letter discovered hidden in a jail cell. She was sentenced to life without parole on May 13, 2026. What makes this case so hard to shake is the year between Eric's death and Kouri's arrest. She appeared on local television. She published a children's grief book about a boy searching for his late father's presence. She moved through her community as a brave, heartbroken widow while investigators quietly reconstructed a picture of nearly $8 million in debt, a fentanyl pipeline through her own housekeeper, and a mother connected to a separate suspicious opioid death. The financial disaster she'd been hiding from Eric for years was always going to catch up with someone. It caught up with him first. 🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a week Never miss a story. Subscribe to 10 Minute Murder for bite-sized true crime episodes delivered fresh every week.
