After 3 decades spent in the sunny (and humid) South Florida media world, Jeff has traveled to across the country to partake in the delights of The Beehive State.

SALT LAKE CITY — As Kouri Richins sits in jail awaiting trial on charges she murdered her husband by allegedly poisoning him with a lethal dose of fentanyl, new documents show her mother was investigated for a death similar in nature and could have played a role in her son-in-law's death.

According to the detective, an autopsy performed on Darden's partner found she died from an overdose of oxycodone. While the partner had a prescription for the highly-addictive drug, the detective wrote in the warrant that she"was not in a state of recovery from addiction at the time of her death." In addition, the warrant showed that Darden had been named to her partner's will just before her death.

“Conversations have been found on Kouri's phone showing disdain for Eric on Lisa's part," he wrote."Based on Lisa Darden’s proximity to her partner’s suspicious overdose death, and her relationship with Kouri, it is possible she was involved in planning and orchestrating Eric’s death."
