In 2022, Kouri Richins was arrested for the alleged murder of her husband, Eric, in Kamas, Utah, shocking friends and family who believed they had a strong relationship. The couple married in 2013, signing a prenuptial agreement that left Kouri with Eric’s business if he died while they were married. Kouri started a real estate business in 2019, but by 2022, it was reportedly in debt. Prosecutors allege that Kouri stole from Eric’s accounts, using a fraudulent Power of Attorney to withdraw $250,000 from their home equity. Despite writing a children’s book to help her sons cope with Eric’s death, Kouri was charged with his murder two months later, raising questions about the true nature of their marriage.
