The Betrayal of Eric Richins: Poisoned by the Author of a Grief Book

Eric Richins was a man who built his life from the ground up. A dedicated father to three young sons, a successful businessman, and a beloved friend known for his infectious laugh and generous spirit, he was the heart of his Utah community. But in March 2022, his promising life was brutally cut short when he was found dead in his own bed, the victim of a lethal fentanyl overdose.

His death was initially a mystery, a sudden tragedy that left his family reeling. But as investigators dug deeper, they uncovered a disturbing story of financial desperation, secret affairs, and calculated betrayal. The evidence began to point not to a tragic accident, but to a cold-blooded murder, allegedly carried out by the person Eric should have trusted most: his wife, Kouri Richins.
