Utah Author of Children's Grief Book Charged with Husband's Murder

Kouri Richins, who wrote a children's book on grief after her husband's death, has been charged with murder for allegedly poisoning him with a lethal dose of fentanyl. She had called authorities to report her husband's death, claiming to have made him a mixed drink to celebrate him selling a home. A medical examiner found five times the lethal dosage of fentanyl in his system. Richins also faces charges involving the alleged possession of GHB. The charges are based on officers' interactions with Richins that night and the account of an "unnamed acquaintance" who claims to have sold her the fentanyl.
