Prosecutors say Kouri Richins, the Kamas author accused of killing her husband, changed his life insurance policies before he was fatally poisoned.
SALT LAKE CITY — The years before he was fatally poisoned, according to charging documents updated Thursday.
Years before, Kouri Richins bought four life insurance policies on her husband's life without his knowledge from 2015 to 2017 with benefits totaling nearly $2 million, prosecutors alleged in the documents updated Thursday. Previous charging documents and warrants detail the yearlong investigation that authorities pursued before arresting Kouri Richins this month. The documents include interviews with an unnamed informant who says she dealt Richins hydrocodone and fentanyl in the weeks and months before her husband's death.
Eric's family told investigators that he had raised suspicions that his wife had previously tried to poison him, including on a vacation to Greece a few years ago. They also raised questions about marital disagreements stemming from changes to his will and the purchase of a incomplete nearby mansion in Midway, Utah, that Kouri Richins bought hoping to quickly sell.
