  • " Amended charges against a Kamas woman accused of killing her husband with fentanyl now allege she owed millions in debt and took out almost $2 million in life insurance policies on her husband before his death, without his knowledge. Kouri Darden Richins, 33, recently published a book to help families deal with the unexpected loss of a loved one, but one year after her own husband’s death, she is now accused of killing him. She was originally charged May 8 in Summit County’s 3rd District Court with aggravated murder, a first-degree felony; and three counts of drug possession with intent to distribute, a second-degree felony. New details in the case emerged Thursday as the charges were amended by the Summit County Attorney’s Office. Eric Richins, 39, died unexpectedly at his home on March 4, 2022. A toxicology report from the state medical examiner determined that he “died from an overdose of fentanyl” and that “the level of fentanyl in Eric’s system was approximately five times the lethal dosage,” according to charges filed earlier this month."

      I don’t understand that either. Maybe he thought she stopped trying to kill him. Just a thought. She gained his trust somehow. Maybe one of their sons took him the drink like in the movie Two Mr. Kissels. Or whatever the name of it is. His wife in the movie tried to kill her husband and he knew it. He was upstairs while his wife made him a milkshake. She had their daughter take it to him and she said it was a special drink. Since his daughter brought it to him, he thought it was ok to drink. The wife poisoned it. It was based on a true story too. John Stamos played in it. It was a Lifetime Movie.

    Told my family if something happened to me to go for the brother.
    My narcissistic spouse eventually cheated on me. As hard as it was I filed for divorce but turned it turned into separation.

She's so warped mentally right now with new mommy hormones and new wifey cuteness but I'm 100000% sure he's going to progress to a physical level at some point.

With that being said that lady is guilty as sin. No one in their right mind who’d just lost their spouse the parent of their child/children’s going to throw a party to celebrate the closing of a house or what have you. My heart breaks for that mans innocent children and his family. But as for the so called wife she’s Satan in the flesh I know all about being innocent until proven guilty.

    In my opinion the only victims in this case are the 3 boys. Eric chose to stay with her believing that she was trying to kill him (since he was telling his friends and family). In his financial position and telling people that she was trying to kill him, especially after the sandwich incident he would have had no problem getting custody of those boys. Now he's dead and she's in jail, so his staying essentially cause them to lose both parents. Finally, why did his sisters present her with the pre-nup on the day of the wedding, why didn’t Eric do it before the wedding just in case she refuse to sign it? Do any one know who has the 3 boys?
