US Woman Who Wrote Book On Grief After Killing Husband Googled 'Luxury Prisons For Rich'

Kouri Richins, a woman from the US, is facing serious allegations after the death of her husband. It is reported that she wrote a children's book about grief, but her Google search history raised concerns.?

According to KTVX, the 33-year-old mother of three extensively searched for topics like "luxury prisons for the rich" and the time it takes for life insurance companies to make payouts.?

These disturbing searches are now being linked to the accusation that she poisoned her husband, Eric Richins, with a fatal dose of fentanyl in March 2022.

During a detention hearing, details emerged regarding Kouri Richins' internet searches, which raised concerns. According to the news outlet, she searched for information on Utah's jails, "luxury prisons for the rich in America," and various other topics.?

The judge deemed her a "substantial danger" to society and ordered her to remain in custody.

Additional reports indicated that she viewed articles such as "Signs of Being Under Federal Investigation" and"Delay in Claim Payment for Death Certificate with Pending Cause of Death."?

Her searches also included inquiries about naloxone, non-natural manners of death, and her net worth.

However, her defense attorney argued that she was merely researching her case to understand evidence processing and that there was no evidence of guilt.

During the hearing, Amy Richins, the deceased's sister, gave a victim impact statement, expressing her anguish over the circumstances of Eric Richins' death and the defendant's actions afterward.

In March 2022, Kouri Richins contacted the police and reported that her husband was unresponsive.?

Before finding him in that state, she claimed to have given him a mixed vodka drink. The medical examiner later determined that Eric Richins had died from a fentanyl overdose, with a dosage five times the lethal amount in his system.

According to court documents, Eric had been in contact with someone facing drug charges and had requested prescription pain medication for an investor with a back injury.?

Kouri Richins obtained hydrocodone pills and later ordered something more substantial. After a few days, she acquired fentanyl, which coincided with Eric falling ill after their Valentine's Day dinner.
