Kouri Richins, 33, from Utah is accused of murdering her husband, Eric Richins, by putting poison in his drink. The incident reportedly happened in March 2022 when she called the police late in the night to report that her husband was not responding. When the police reached their home in Kamas, they tried to resuscitate him but were unable.

On medical examination, it was found that his body contained five times the normal dose of fentanyl. More than a year later, his wife was arrested for his alleged murder.

On investigating the Richins' phone, the authorities found a disturbing list of online searches that included luxury prison for rich people, if deleted messages can be seen by investigators if a suspect can be forced by police to take a lie detector test, articles containing information about federal investigation and life insurance claims.

The woman also searched about her net worth, changing the cause of death on the death certificate, non-natural manner of death and if naloxone is similar to heroin.

In a court hearing held on Monday, her lawyer defended her searches by calling them attempts to know about case proceedings. Meanwhile, the judge said that she is a substantial danger for the public and deserves to remain in detention. Kouri Richins allegedly procured fentanyl through a person who was later taken into custody for drug charges.

Eric Richin's family and friends had alleged that he had informed them several times that he feared his wife would murder him someday that made her a prime suspect in the case. The woman allegedly pretended to be a mourning widow and even wrote a book on grief to avoid suspicion. She had also reportedly made important changes in property and insurance before her husband's death.
