Who Are Kouri Richins Parents?
Kouri Richins, the Salt Lake City children-book author, has been arrested and charged for allegedly murdering her husband Eric Eugene Richins. Eric was the son of Gene and late Linda (Carter) Richins born on 13 May 1982 in Bountiful, UT. His paternal grandparents were named H. Lamont and Althea (Ferguson) Richins; his maternal grandfather, Charles Carter.
Eric was survived by his three incredible sons, Carter, Ashton, and Weston; His father Eugene F.; his sisters, Katie (Clint) Benson and Amy (William) Richins, his nieces Madalin and Lillian Benson, and his maternal grandmother, Joan Carter.
So what happened to Eric? The results of Eric’s autopsy revealed that he had overdosed on fentanyl and had taken it orally. Further investigations revealed conversations between Kouri and a friend named C.L. He had been discovered unconscious at the foot of his bed, and attempts to save his life were reportedly fruitless.
In the court records, C.L. claimed that Kouri explicitly requested fentanyl and that they later obtained 15 to 30 pills for her. Days after this allegedly had taken place, Eric and Kouri had dinner at home on Valentine’s Day 2022, and Kouri “became very ill,” saying to a friend that he “thought his wife was trying to poison him.” Later, it is claimed that Kouri got more fentanyl pills from C.L., and six days later, Eric was discovered dead from a fentanyl overdose.
The search warrant further states that without Kouri’s knowledge, Eric amended his will and life insurance policy before he passed away. His sister had been named as the beneficiary. The warrant also mentions that Eric was considering getting divorced and wanted to make sure his children were taken care of. Kouri allegedly tried to add herself as the beneficiary after logging into his account later, but the insurance provider alerted Eric.
Kouri was born in 1990 and she is 33 years old. She, until 2019, was working primarily as an investor based out of the Kamas, Utah area. She was actively looking to connect with Investment properties.
Kouri was working as a realtor at Conrad Cruz Real Estate Services, LLC.
