"Mother's Influence: Alleged Husband Killer's Family Connection Under Investigation"
Police suspect that Kouri Richins, accused of murdering her husband and altering a life insurance policy, may not have acted alone, pointing to parallels with an incident involving her mother, Lisa Darden, whose partner died of an overdose. Detectives describe Darden's "disdain" for her son-in-law and suggest she may have been involved in planning and orchestrating the husband's death. Richins has pleaded not guilty, while her attorney argues that Darden's former partner's death due to opioid addiction is common and not suspicious. Darden has not been charged in the case.
