Richins was arrested on Monday, May 8, in Utah and is accused in charging documents of poisoning her husband with a lethal dose of fentanyl at their home in Kamas, a small mountain town near Park City.
Years before, Kouri Richins bought four life insurance policies on her husband's life without his knowledge from 2015 to 2017 with benefits totaling nearly $2 million, prosecutors alleged in the documents updated Thursday. Previous charging documents and warrants detail the yearlong investigation that authorities pursued before arresting Kouri Richins this month. The documents include interviews with an unnamed informant who says she dealt Richins hydrocodone and fentanyl in the weeks and months before her husband's death.
Eric Richins descended from a large family, well-known locally, with members active in local politics and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He met Kouri Richins when she worked at a local Home Depot where he often shopped, a former colleagueEric's family told investigators that he had raised suspicions that his wife had previously tried to poison him, including on a vacation to Greece a few years ago.
