“While investigating the death, I was told by Eric’s family members that they suspected his wife had something to do with his death,” Deputy Jayme Woody wrote. “They advised he warned them that if anything happened to him, she was to blame.”

The husband’s family told police that “if anything happened to him, she was to blame,” documents state.

The suspected poisonings started years ago, on a trip to Greece, the affidavit states. At some point, Kouri Richins gave Eric a drink and he became “violently ill.” Afterward, Eric called his sister and said he believed Kouri had tried to kill him, according to the affidavit. “The day after Eric’s death, Kouri closed on the home, alone,” the affidavit states. “She later invited her friends over for a large party at her home where she was drinking and celebrating.”

About two weeks later, on Feb. 26, 2022, Kouri again contacted C.L. to ask for more fentanyl. Six days later, Eric was dead. The children’s book Kouri Richins wrote about grief, called “Are You with Me?”, published in March. As of Wednesday, the book had been removed from Amazon’s website.
