A medical examiner ruled Eric Richins, a Utah father of three, died of a lethal dose of fentanyl. His wife Kouri was charged in his death.

On March 4, 2022, Kouri Richins says she found her husband, Eric Richins, unresponsive in their bed. First responders tried to save him, but it was too late for the father of three. Weeks later, police said Richins' death was caused by an overdose of fentanyl. The grieving widow from Utah was arrested and charged with murder shortly after she wrote a children's book to help their kids cope with grief.

It could very well be that Kouri was paying her for cleaning houses, correct?DET. O'DRISCOLL: I don't wanna speculate, but — Despite what C.L. said? Correct? OK. Lazaro says because Carmen Lauber is a convicted felon she's not credible.Skye Lazaro: She … was on probation at the time. I think anytime you have an informant-type situation … it can call into question the veracity of their statements or the motive for what they're saying. In her cross-examination of Detective O'Driscoll, Lazaro attempted to show how C.L. might have felt pressure to tell investigators what they wanted to hear.

OK. Well, you told her that she was on probation to drug court for four first-degree felonies, correct? DET. O'DRISCOLL: Correct.
