Court documents show that a children’s book author who prosecutors say killed her husband has been battling with his relatives over the family estate.
A Utah woman who wrote a children’s book on grief after her husband’s death but whohas been battling with his relatives over the family estate since he died last year, court documents show.
Richins’ attorney, Skye Lazaro, declined to comment on the charges. The Utah Department of Child Protective Services did not respond to questions about where the children are while their mother is held without bail. Civil court filings submitted in different cases after Eric Richins’ death outline how the suspicious circumstances surrounding his death have become entangled with questions over his assets and an estate held in a trust and managed by his sister.A jury in Portland, Ore., has convicted a self-published romance novelist in the fatal shooting of her husband four years ago.
The charges are based on officers’ interactions with Richins on the night of her husband’s death and the account of an “unnamed acquaintance” who claims to have sold her fentanyl. The acquaintance told investigators that they sold Richins the opioid hydrocodone once and fentanyl twice, in February and March 2022.
Ellen Gilland shot her husband in his hospital bed, police say. He was terminally ill and asked her to do it. That makes a big difference.
