"Children's Author Kouri Richins Faces New Charges for Alleged Attempted Murder of Husband"

Utah children's author Kouri Richins, accused of fatally poisoning her husband with fentanyl and then publishing a book about grief, now faces new charges for allegedly attempting to kill him earlier on Valentine's Day. Prosecutors allege she drugged him with fentanyl-laced food and had made secret financial arrangements and purchased illicit drugs. The case has shocked true-crime enthusiasts, as her self-published book has become a tool for prosecutors arguing a calculated murder plot and attempted cover-up. Richins also faces charges of mortgage fraud and insurance fraud, with prosecutors claiming she was in financial distress and sought to profit from her husband's death.
