Kouri Richins, 36, was sentenced to life in prison after a jury found she poisoned her husband, Eric, with fentanyl; prosecutors presented evidence of large debts, life insurance policies, and an extramarital affair. The trial also noted that she published a children's book about grief soon after his death and that her young sons testified they would feel unsafe if she were released. The allegation involving a former youth pastor who allegedly profited from his wife's death and then lived lavishly underscores broader concerns about financial motives and public-facing behavior following suspicious spousal deaths.
