UT - Kouri Richins, 33, Author, wife, mom, charged in husband’s “unexpected” death last year, May 2023

Shades of Charles Vallow.

I'm deeply confused about cases where someone has warned other people that their spouse might kill them, and yet they stay in the marriage trying to make it work...wouldn't you at least throw away any food or drink this person served you?

Perhaps people who have been married understand this? Do marriages go through a phase, where you believe your spouse is trying to kill you, but counsellors advise sticking with it because 'this too shall pass'?

YES yes, shades of Charles Vallow..... And Joe Ryan and Brandon Boudreaux.

Shades of Jared Bridegan ....murdered by ex-wife's husband and a hit man. But who set the whole thing up???

Shades of Jodi Arias.
Shades of Michael Haight... murdered wife and 5 children.

Shades of Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ervil LeBaron......

There is just something so mind-boggling about Mormons and murder.
In the famous Ervil LeBaron case ("Under the banner of Heaven")----- he determined "devinely inspired murders".

There is zero intention of putting the LDS church on trial or in the limelight---but in a number of recent cases, this common denominator just keeps poking at my curiosity.

Does much Mormon scripture allow killers to justify their actions, or even their thoughts?

moo.
there are zillions of articles that do talk about this... I have just added a few of the cases...

The letter acknowledges “troubling comments” about the arrest of Mario Fernandez Saldana, who is married to the owner’s daughter.

Um...is she implying Eric routinely tore the sleeves off his shirt and used it to wipe when he s**** on the side of the road?? Am I reading that right??
Not only is it full of contempt, it's just downright insulting. If a 'loved one' wrote an obit like this for me I'd come back and haunt them.

Can you believe a bereaved wife would write something like that in her husband’s obituary? No way. Her spitefulness and contempt is crystal clear.

So she had an office in Reno? Maybe that’s where her BF is.

I swear someplace I saw she had an office in SC too. I think that's where she is from originally.

 

[neesaki]

I read the full obituary. Ladder Day Saints?

Oh yeah, she's smarter than everyone else. NOT.

IMO, she’s not only mocking her deceased husband, but the church as well. She really was miss high and mighty. I wonder how she’s feeling after falling off that high horse she was on.

 

[nhmemorymaker]

It completely boggles my mind how hard she was trying to get rid of him. I’m not sure if I’ve ever read of any case quite like this one. Well, I’m sure there are some, but not followed so closely.

Again, I remind of the Jared Bridegan case..... similar evil vengeance.

Narcissists often continue to blame others. I highly doubt she has much of a conscious... probably doesn't feel guilty at all... it was all justified because he forced her into committing this act.

Some people are incapable of empathy or feeling guilt.

Sincere condolences to Eric Richins' family and friends.

Regarding his linked obituary, people are assuming Kouri Richins (KR) wrote it, but IMO we should be careful with that assumption. It does make sense that KR wrote it, however.

Some of the details seem unnecessary and like they could be underhanded, as already mentioned.

And the line that she was "the love of his life" is chilling, if she did, as alleged, make sure no one else would ever get to love him.

And, is it even true?

Now we know that Eric did not agree with the signing of that mansion and was in fact making it pretty much impossible for her to go ahead with it, and that she signed on the house on the day AFTER she murdered him. So, what the heck were they "celebrating" with that drink in bed?

According to the AA, the toxicology indicated Eric ingested 5x the lethal dosage of non-pharmaceutical grade fentanyl, and no mention of alcohol (vodka) or THC gummy as provided by KR. JMO

And isn't that jaw-dropping? FIVE TIMES the lethal amount. And no booze or gummie. How'd she get it into him? Did he have a specific drink? My husband is a diet Pepsi addict and no one else in the house will touch it. Did Eric have something similar that only he consumed?

No, this is only evidence NR registered her LLC in Nevada which is neither illegal nor unusual.

From the docs, all we know is the Coroner opined the fentanyl was ingested. It could have just as well been in spaghetti sauce and no nightcap or soda involved. We will have to wait for further disclosure by the court. Until then, I'm personally taking anything from KR with giant grains of salt.

I’m starting to think she may have put it in his food, or even vitamin capsules.

Add Debora Green to the list, a physician who tried to poison her doctor husband (she didn't kill him, but she came awfully close) and later burned the house down with their 3 kids in it, killing two of them; Ann Rule wrote a book about it called "Bitter Harvest."

Gypsy Rose Blanchard's mother too.

 

[flowershop]

Staying in a marriage bc you don't want your kids to grow up in a broken home doesn't matter when your wife is

2actively trying to kill you.

I am not sure what describes this phenomenon best. Was he in a denial? Surely he was experiencing cognitive dissonance. MOO.

KR asked to be on the show. Hosts provide an interesting perspective about KR. moo

And the show is called "Good Things Utah". Except for the time KR was on the show...

I remember when Kristin Rossum pointed her husband back in 2000.

She also left rose petals around the bed bc American Beauty was her favorite movie.

I forgot about her! Didn’t she kill her husband for her boss?
