Whoa. The children’s book author who allegedly murdered her own husband is finally in court, and the evidence prosecutors have unearthed is shocking!
If you haven’t been following this wild true crime story, Kouri Richins has been accused of murdering her husband Eric Richins, 39, on March 3, 2022, by lacing his Moscow Mule with lethal amounts of fentanyl. Five times the lethal amount! He drank the cocktail while celebrating a recent real estate deal and was pronounced dead just hours later.
The couple had three children. The accusations were a shocking twist as Kouri had achieved a minor amount of celebrity for writing a children’s book about grief to help her kids process the loss of their father. The book, titled Are You With Me? was released about a year after her husband’s death. It has since been pulled from Amazon, for obvious reasons. She was reportedly working on a second book titled, Mom, How Far Away is Heaven?, per KCPW News.

To prove how mind-boggling this case is, authorities claim Kouri threw a party at the couple’s house the day after the murder! WTF?! She was ultimately charged with one count of first-degree aggravated murder and three counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute in connection with the death.
Sadly, according to family members, Eric said he believed his wife had tried to poison him previously. He even had her removed as a beneficiary of his will and life insurance policy before he died, replacing her with his sister, after she allegedly tried to change a life insurance policy and withdraw money without his knowledge. Similarly, he suspected Kouri may have been having an affair.
That’s
