A Utah woman who wrote a children's book about coping with grief after her husband's death, and was later accused of fatally poisoning him, is scheduled to appear in court to determine whether she should remain detained or have an opportunity to post bail.
PARK CITY — A Utah woman who wrote a children's book about coping with grief after her husband's death, and was later accused of fatally poisoning him, is scheduled to appear in court Monday to determine whether she should remain detained or have an opportunity to post bail.
Prosecutors have painted a picture of a conniving woman who tried to kill her husband weeks earlier by lacing a Valentine's Day sandwich with hydrocodone and repeatedly denied her involvement on the day of his death in March 2022, even telling police, "My husband is active. He doesn't just die in his sleep. This is insane."
The case also has shined a spotlight on Kamas, Utah, an agricultural town on the backside of Utah's Wasatch Mountains near Park City, one of the American West's preeminent destinations for skiing, hiking and outdoor recreation. The couple and their three sons lived in a new development in the town of Francis, roughly 50 miles east of Salt Lake City.
Charging documents and warrants detail interviews in which the informant said she sold Richins hydrocodone and fentanyl in the weeks and months before her husband's death. Prosecutors say the drug purchase timeline corresponds with Eric Richins' death and their allegation that his wife laced the sandwich weeks prior.
