TL;DR Summary

Ina Thea Kenoyer, a woman from North Dakota, has been charged with murder for allegedly poisoning her boyfriend, Steven Edward Riley Jr., with antifreeze. Kenoyer is accused of plotting to claim a portion of Riley's $30 million inheritance. Riley's friends and relatives reported that Kenoyer had made comments about poisoning him with antifreeze both before and after his death. Investigators discovered discord in the couple's relationship, as Riley planned to leave Kenoyer once he received his inheritance. Kenoyer claimed to be entitled to part of the inheritance as his "common law" wife, but North Dakota does not recognize common law marriages. The authorities found evidence of antifreeze in the couple's home, including a Windex bottle and other containers suspected to contain the toxic substance. Kenoyer is scheduled to appear in court, and it is unclear if she has legal representation.
