"Children's Author Kouri Richins Faces New Charges for Alleged Attempted Murder of Husband"

Utah children's author Kouri Richins, already accused of fatally poisoning her husband and publishing a book about grief, now faces new charges for allegedly attempting to kill him earlier on Valentine's Day. Prosecutors allege she drugged him with fentanyl, made secret financial arrangements, and bought illicit drugs found in his system. Richins, held without bail, had self-published a book about a father's death, which is now being used as evidence against her. She also faces charges of mortgage and insurance fraud, with prosecutors claiming she was in financial distress and sought to profit from her husband's death.
