BBM. I don't recall reading about the vacation in Greece.

The Greece event was in one of the first posted links on the date of arrest.

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

Kouri Richins was on the news promoting a children’s book on grief. Her husband had “unexpectedly died” a year before leaving their three little boys in despair. However, she was just arrested for her husband’s murder, being accused of intentionally lacing his drink with a fatal dose of...

I think vodka doesn't smell, and it would have enhanced the effect of a drug.

No smell but certainly a strong and distinct taste.

Do we really need another article posted? Yes, imo

Cold, vile, evil woman.
We really need a 'hurl' emoji for our posts.
Ugh !
Imo.

Is she the only source of that info, though?

Or, maybe he didn't know he was drinking vodka?

True. No one would really know how he was poisoned. Stomach contents from an autopsy will be interesting.

What? I have never drank vodka that doesn't smell. It smells like vodka. Like alcohol.

He would have tasted that many pills as well. I wonder if he was taking supplements or something that could been tampered with.

O/T there is another book with same title Are You With Me?
Curious it got by… doesn’t that fall under infringement? Seems publisher would catch that.

Yes, but in the UK, a coming-of-age book from 2007, published by Simon & Schuster UK. Maybe being overseas and indie caused it to get under S&S's radar. MOO

I'm not a cocktail drinker any more, but a Moscow Mule is a taste explosion: like being kicked by a mule - very spicy from ginger, intensely cold and fizzy, deliciously sweet and sour, and with the kick of lots of vodka. It kind of knocks you out without hurting, you almost see stars, but want more....we also don't know how many he drank.

I had wondered about that myself, and what the son might be allergic to that they kept an Epi-Pen handy. Maybe he was/they were allergic to peanuts? That's nowhere near as common in adults as it is in children, but it does occur.

I read that some people get hives and breathing problems from fentanyl.
Below is a link for injected fentanyl, but I presume the side effects would be similar.

What side effects may I notice from receiving this medication?​

Side effects that you should report to your care team as soon as possible:

• Low adrenal gland function—nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, unusual weakness or fatigue, dizziness
• Low blood pressure—dizziness, feeling faint or lightheaded, blurry vision
• Muscle stiffness

Side effects that usually do not require medical attention (report to your care team if they continue or are bothersome):

• Dizziness

I am not sure if this was reposted or not but want to bring this forward again and thank @imstilla.grandma. I do suggest a quick read of it, I found it insightful

Oh, I get it now...she wears outdoor jackets indoors? It makes it look like she just dropped in or is just about to leave. It is disconcerting, because no one else is wearing a coat. Definitely some psychology to that.

Not defending her but tv studios can be very cold. (They are often kept very cold to protect equipment that is used under high-heat lighting, etc. Or, at least that's how it was quite awhile ago. Not sure if things have improved through the years.) Anchors or regulars may know how to discreetly layer up or may just be used to it, whereas someone making a one-time appearance may not know. (Could also be tied to modesty being a female in a cold environment with only one layer on, iykwim.) MOO.

well, really we don't know if he drank anything at all. Might just be more slandering/misdirection by her.

So that could have been what she could have put in the sandwich she gave him. What an evil witch.
I‘m curious to know who this boyfriend of hers is. Perhaps his name will come out in MSM at some point.

Wow. I rarely make commentary about the aesthetics of anything or anyone, but that looks like some kind of suburban nighmare. Or something I would have made in The Sims because I don't know anything about architecture.

True. His dinner could've been 'spiked' ?
What a terrible betrayal.

No, that is someone with the same name. Per ER's obituary: "He received a bachelor’s degree from the University of Utah in International Studies with a minor in Spanish."

Looks like she'll have all the time in the world to work on her third book -- Horrible Mommy, How Far Away Is Prison?

Or ... if exonerated, the next book could be entitled "Who's Next?"

Next Book Title: When Mommy Goes on Trial, followed by the sequel, When Mommy Goes to Prison.
