Author of grief book accused of killing husband said his death was a ‘shock’ in chilling TV interview
appeared last month on a local TV show to promote a book she wrote about processing grief – chillingly declaring his death “completely took us all by shock.”
“My husband passed away unexpectedly last year. March 4 was a one-year anniversary for us. He was 39,” she said. Kouri Richins, 33, a Utah mother of three charged with murder in the poisoning death of her husband, Eric, appeared on a TV show recently to promote a children’s book she recently wrote with her kids about processing grief.“It completely took us all by shock. We have three little boys, 10, nine and six, and my kids and I kind of wrote this book on the different emotions and grieving processes that we’ve experienced in the last year,” Richins said.
She said “connection” is the most important component, which teaches kids that the spirit of the deceased loved one “is always in your home.”Richins explained that the best way to accomplish that is by bringing up memories and taking part in activities their loved one enjoyed doing in their life.She said “continuity” refers to keeping routines and schedules as normal as possible, and that “care” is showing your kids love and affirming their feelings.
Eric did absolutely everything in his power to provide his family with every possible opportunity to learn, grow, and have fun,” Eric’s obituary reads.Eric died of an oral overdose of fentanyl — with a level in his system that was five times the lethal dosage, an autopsy found. The charges are based on police interactions with Richins that night and the account of an “unnamed acquaintance” who claims to have sold her the fentanyl.One of his two sisters reportedly told police that he called her from a vacation in Greece with his wife years earlier claiming that she made him a drink that made him very sick.On Feb. 14, 2022, the couple had a Valentine’s Day dinner in which Eric “became very ill,” according to a probable cause statement.
