She searched “if someone is poisned what does it go down on the death certificate as.” Not overdosed. Poisoned. Her own word. In part four of our five-part definitive series, we lay out the digital evidence and public performances that sealed Kouri Richins’ conviction. Over 800 deleted text messages. A new phone loaded with searches about fentanyl dosages, prison conditions, and whether the FBI was coming for her.

A children’s grief book she paid a ghostwriter $2,500 to write, then promoted on local television with a promo code. A six-page letter from her jail cell coaching her family to tell her attorney that Eric got fentanyl from Mexico — a story she’d never told police, investigators, or anyone else in any official capacity. And an anonymous package her mother sent to the sheriff containing the book and a note declaring Kouri a “devoted wife and adoring mother.” The prosecution called it consciousness of guilt. The jury agreed.

Unlock at 3:06 a.m. Speaker at 3:08. The 911 call two minutes later. That’s the timeline. No frantic calls to family. No calls to friends. Just a precise, measured sequence that suggests a woman who knew exactly what she was about to report. In part three of our five-part definitive series, we walk through the night Kouri Richins killed her husband with a fentanyl-laced Moscow Mule and the first 72 hours that followed — the hours in which she closed on a property deal, drilled open Eric’s safe, punched his sister in the face when she learned the estate had been restructured, and texted her drug supplier for more pills. She told police Eric died of a brain aneurysm. She maintained that story for over a year. The autopsy said otherwise: illicit fentanyl, orally ingested, at five times the concentration needed to be fatal. The man she killed had already removed her from his will. She just didn’t know it until it was too late.

She bought the pills. She asked for stronger ones. She asked for the strongest thing available. And then she put them in her husband’s drink. In part two of our definitive five-part Kouri Richins series, we follow the fentanyl from a gas station in Draper, Utah, to Eric Richins’ bloodstream. The procurement chain ran through Carmen Lauber, Kouri’s housekeeper, who testified she bought drugs at Kouri’s request and was told the pills were for “an investor.” The investor never existed. Cell phone data confirmed every purchase. Text messages revealed Kouri was simultaneously planning a future with her boyfriend while stacking nearly $2 million in secret life insurance on the husband she was about to eliminate. Eric survived a poisoned sandwich on Valentine’s Day and told his family his wife was trying to end his life. Two weeks later, she switched to a cocktail and used five times the lethal dose. She wasn’t taking chances anymore.
