Kouri Richins, the Utah mother of three who allegedly killed her husband in 2022, wanted to show off her "accomplishments" and "status," according to prosecutors.
Authorities in 2023 charged Richins, now 35, with her 39-year-old husband Eric Richins' poisoning death as a means to collect millions in life insurance funds. "[A]n arc of the Defendant’s increasingly aggressive parasitic behavior connects all nine offenses." "When I was little, I grew up scrubbing other people’s toilets in Park City at ‘rich’ people’s houses …" "The Defendant needed to cause Eric Richins’ death."

The night Eric died on March 3, 2022, authorities say the couple was celebrating Kouri's recent closure of a $2 million mansion under construction that she wanted to flip and sell for a profit as part of her real-estate business, a warrant states. She then allegedly spiked Eric's cocktail with fentanyl, a deadly illicit drug, killing him in their bed.
