Wife Who Allegedly Poisoned Husband Googled ‘What Is Lethal Dose of Fentanyl’`

The Utah woman accused of fatally poisoning her husband and then writing a book about grief allegedly googled “What is a lethal dose of fentanyl” before his death, CNN reported Monday.

Prosecutors claim that Kouri Richins, 33, googled the damning question before she poisoned her husband, Eric Richins, in 2022 with five times the lethal dose of fentanyl. Her defense said that there was "no substantial evidence to support the charges."

Richins has not yet entered a plea but is charged with aggravated murder, criminal homicide, and three counts of possessing a controlled substance with intent to distribute.

Prosecutors also say she googled questions relating to life insurance payments and how police track electronic data, according to CNN.

The accused murderer also allegedly finalized the purchase of a $2 million house in Utah the day after her husband's death.

After he died, she authored a children’s book about grief that she dedicated to her “amazing husband."
