In March 2022, a celebratory evening at the Richins' Utah home turned into a tragic nightmare. Kouri Richins, a successful real estate agent, had just closed on a new property for her business. She and her husband, Eric, enjoyed a few drinks, including a Moscow mule she made for him. However, their night ended in horror when Eric was found unresponsive, and despite Kouri's frantic 911 call, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The autopsy revealed a shocking truth: Eric had died from a lethal dose of fentanyl, five times the amount needed to be fatal. Initially, Kouri suggested he might have accidentally consumed a fentanyl-laced gummy. But as the investigation unfolded, prosecutors alleged that Kouri had intentionally poisoned Eric, mixing the deadly substance into his drink.

In a stunning twist, Kouri published a children's book, "Are You With Me," about coping with grief, which she promoted on local TV just before her arrest in May 2023. The community was left reeling as Kouri faced charges of aggravated murder and drug distribution. Join me as I delve into the complex and disturbing case of Kouri Richins, exploring how a seemingly ordinary family life turned into a web of deceit and betrayal. Will justice be served for Eric Richins, or will Kouri's defense prevail?
