A new twist has emerged in the case against Kouri Richins, the Utah mother accused of fatally poisoning her husband, Eric Richins. The investigation into Eric's death, which revealed a lethal dose of fentanyl in his system, has now introduced a key witness, though he will never take the stand due to his sudden death in a motorcycle accident.
William Hayden Jeffs, a 35-year-old handyman, was reportedly in contact with Kouri around the time of Eric’s death. Investigators claim that Kouri reached out to Jeffs just weeks before her husband's passing, asking him if he could obtain fentanyl and propofol, an anesthetic, for her. These substances, particularly fentanyl, are central to the allegations against Kouri, who is accused of poisoning Eric with a cocktail of illicit fentanyl.
In a search warrant filed by authorities, it was revealed that Jeffs had provided investigators with text messages that confirmed his communication with Kouri regarding these drugs. He allegedly shared copies of the messages with police, further linking him to the case.
Unfortunately, Jeffs died in a motorcycle crash on September 30, two months before the trial could proceed. His death has complicated the prosecution’s efforts to bring him into court as a witness, but authorities are still examining his phone, which was seized by law enforcement. The Summit County Sheriff’s Office requested the phone as part of the ongoing investigation into Kouri Richins' alleged actions. However, the documents associated with the case have not clarified whether Jeffs actually supplied Kouri with fentanyl or other drugs.
Kouri Richins, who authored a children’s book about grief following her husband’s death, has been charged with multiple offenses, including aggravated murder. According to the autopsy, Eric's fentanyl levels were five times the lethal dose, and the medical examiner confirmed that the fentanyl was not medical-grade but illicit.
The prosecution claims that Kouri intentionally poisoned Eric with a fatal dose of fentanyl, and they continue to investigate her interactions with other individuals from whom she may have purchased the drugs. Although Jeffs is no longer able to testify, the investigation is still ongoing, and the case remains complex as investigators search for more evidence.
Kouri’s trial is set to begin in April 2025, with a pre-trial conference scheduled for December 12, 2024. As the investigation continues, the revelation of Jeffs’ involvement and his tragic death adds a layer of intrigue and uncertainty to the case, making it one to watch in the months ahead.

The Infamous Kouri Richins TV Interview Before Her Arrest For Murder
Kouri Richins, a Utah-based author and mother of three, has been charged with aggravated murder and possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute in connection to her husband, Eric Richins' death in 2022. Family members voiced suspicions about Kouri's involvement in Eric's death, noting that he had feared she might harm him. According to court documents, Eric became ill on multiple occasions after consuming food or drinks provided by Kouri, culminating in his death due to a fentanyl overdose in March 2022. Investigators discovered messages on Kouri's phone with an individual from whom she obtained prescription pain medication, including fentanyl.

Kouri Richins, a Utah children's book author accused of fatally poisoning her husband with fentanyl in 2022, will remain behind bars after a judge denied her bail request. Richins, who wrote a book on coping with grief called *Are You With Me?* following her husband’s death, faces charges of aggravated murder and attempted murder.
During a hearing in Utah’s 3rd District Court, Judge Richard Mrazik outlined his reasons for rejecting Richins' bond request. “There simply are not reasonably available means of mitigating her risk to the community and to herself or the strong incentive for her to flee the jurisdiction of the court,” Mrazik said. He emphasized the severity of the charges and her diminished ties to the community as critical factors in his decision.
Prosecutors accuse Richins of spiking a cocktail she made for her husband, Eric Richins, with a lethal dose of fentanyl. They also claim she attempted to kill him previously, on February 14, 2022, by giving him a drugged sandwich. Eric Richins, a father of three, died at their home near Park City, a small mountain town known for its scenic beauty.
Richins was arrested in 2023, just a year after her husband's death, and gained further attention for her public appearances discussing her family’s grief. Her book, marketed to help children deal with the loss of a loved one, has become a focal point in media coverage of the case.
The defense team, led by attorney Kathy Nester, argued that the case against Richins is weakening. “With two charges dismissed and four others severed, the defense stands more confident. The case against our client is rapidly narrowing, exposing deeper weaknesses with each step,” Nester said.
Judge Mrazik dismissed two counts of distributing a controlled substance and agreed to separate four real estate-related fraud charges from the upcoming murder trial. However, he denied a motion from the defense to try the murder and attempted murder charges separately. The judge also refused a motion to increase the jury size from the standard eight to twelve members. Despite acknowledging that Utah’s law “may be on the wrong side of history,” Mrazik said he is bound by his oath to uphold it.
The trial, set to begin in April 2025, will cover multiple charges, including aggravated murder, attempted murder, two counts of filing fraudulent insurance claims, and one count of forgery. To ensure a fair jury pool, both the prosecution and defense agreed to select jurors from a broader geographic area, spanning Salt Lake and Summit Counties.
Richins' defense team emphasized her connections to the area and disputed the notion that she poses a flight risk. However, Judge Mrazik pointed to several concerns, including her loss of business and strained relationship with her children, which he said could increase her motivation to flee.
"Structurally, she just doesn't have the same connections to the community that she had then," the judge concluded. Richins remains in custody, awaiting her day in court, as both sides prepare for what promises to be a closely watched trial.

Utah Children's Book Author Kouri Richins to Stand Trial for Alleged Murder of Husband
A Utah mother of three who published a children's book about grief after her husband's death has been ordered to stand trial on charges of murder, attempted murder, and other crimes in relation to his death. Kouri Richins, 34, has been accused of drugging her husband's Valentine's Day sandwich in February 2022 in an alleged murder attempt that he survived, and then spiking his cocktail with a fatal dose of fentanyl 17 days later.
Prosecutors have also alleged that Richins was in debt when she fraudulently obtained a $2 million life insurance policy on her husband before his death. She was charged with multiple counts of fraud and forgery in connection with the allegations.
Richins has pleaded not guilty to the charges and has previously claimed innocence, telling "Dateline" this year that she had been taken away from her "babies."
"This means war," she said.
Despite her claims of innocence, a judge has ruled that prosecutors have shown probable cause to try Richins on the allegations of financial crimes and murder charges in the death of her husband, Eric Richins, 39.
Richins' trial is scheduled to begin in the last week of April.
One year after her husband's death in March 2022, Richins published a children's book called "Are You With Me?" which sought to help children struggling with the death of a loved one. The book follows the story of a child who has lost their father, but is reminded that his presence still exists all around them, just like an angel watching over them.
The case has drawn significant attention due to the tragic circumstances surrounding Eric Richins' death and the allegations against his wife. The trial is expected to be closely watched by the public and the media as it unfolds.

Kouri Richins, the Utah mother accused of spiking her husband’s cocktail with a fatal dose of fentanyl, has made her first public comments since her arrest last year. In a series of jailhouse statements provided exclusively to "Dateline" this week, Richins criticized prosecutors, asserted her innocence, and described recent upheaval in the case as “forced.”
Richins, 34, who has been held in the Summit County Jail since a judge denied her bail last year, expressed frustration over being separated from her family. “I’ve been silent for a year, locked away from my kids, my family, my life, living with the media telling the world who they think I am, what they think I’ve done or how they think I’ve lived,” she said. “And it’s time to start speaking up. You took an innocent mom away from her babies. And this means war.”
The comments come after a judge granted her lawyers' request to withdraw from her defense against charges of aggravated murder and other crimes in the death of her husband, Eric Richins, 39, on March 4, 2022. Richins’ lead attorney, Skye Lazaro, cited an “irreconcilable and nonwaivable situation” as the reason for the withdrawal.
In one statement, Richins said she was filled with “great devastation” over her defense team's withdrawal. “My defense team has been forced to withdraw from my case. Represented or not, we all know and should understand there’s only so much I can say. But what I will say is this withdrawal was not my choice. And it was not a personal choice of any counsel on my defense team.”
The withdrawal request was filed the same day Richins’ lawyers asked a judge to disqualify prosecutors due to “severe violations” that compromised their defense and violated Richins’ constitutional right to effective counsel. The filing alleges that from May to December last year, authorities recorded jail calls between Richins and her lawyers without their consent, some of which were listened to by prosecutors.
When defense lawyers discovered the practice and questioned prosecutors, Summit County's top elected prosecutor, Margaret Olson, initially denied awareness. However, lead prosecutor Brad Bloodworth later claimed that one of the defense lawyers had refused to use a phone app that shields attorney-client calls, resulting in the recordings. Bloodworth asserted that prosecutors had not listened to the calls and suggested that by not using the app, the lawyer had seemingly consented to the practice.
Richins accused prosecutors of doing "anything they can to prolong this process and hide their corruption. I will not play into the prosecution’s unconstitutional behavior anymore." She expressed a strong desire to clear her name, stating, “Although I am extremely disappointed where we’re at right now with this case, I’m anxious. I’m anxious to prove my innocence. I’m anxious to get to trial.”
Olson's office responded to the allegations, labeling the defense lawyer's motion to disqualify prosecutors as "materially inaccurate" and "filed in bad faith." The county attorney's office plans to address the motion formally by May 31.
Prosecutors allege that Richins, deeply in debt, fraudulently obtained a nearly $2 million life insurance policy on her husband before giving him a Moscow mule spiked with a lethal dose of fentanyl. They also charged Richins with attempted murder, forgery, and mortgage and insurance fraud.
One year after Eric Richins died, Kouri Richins published “Are You With Me?” a children’s book about grief, dedicated to her “amazing” husband. Despite the charges, Richins and her family have maintained her innocence.

Kouri Richins, the Utah author charged with the aggravated murder of her husband Eric Richins, is now facing an additional charge of attempted murder following new allegations of poisoning. Prosecutors claim that Kouri attempted to poison Eric on Valentine's Day 2022 by serving him a sandwich laced with drugs, leading to a severe allergic reaction.
According to charging documents released by the Washington County Attorney’s Office, Eric Richins became gravely ill after consuming the sandwich, experiencing hives and other adverse symptoms. In distress, he contacted friends and expressed suspicion that his wife, Kouri, had attempted to poison him.
"He almost lost me," Eric reportedly told one friend, describing the frightening ordeal after consuming the tainted sandwich. "You could hear the fear in his voice," the charging documents state.
The documents reveal that Kouri Richins had allegedly procured illicit fentanyl prior to the Valentine's Day incident and sought stronger doses following Eric's initial illness. Prosecutors suggest financial motives, pointing to life insurance policies valued at nearly $2 million taken out by Kouri on Eric without his knowledge.
Kouri Richins, who has yet to enter a plea but has denied all allegations, faces a litany of charges, including aggravated murder, mortgage fraud, insurance fraud, and forgery. Her attorney maintains her innocence, stating, "there is nothing in the documents that affects Kouri's approach to defending whatever charges the State levies against her."
A preliminary hearing date has been set for May 15 at the Third District Court.
Kouri Richins remains in custody awaiting trial, while the case continues to unfold, shedding light on the tragic and complex circumstances surrounding Eric Richins' death and the subsequent legal proceedings.

Utah resident Kouri Richins, already embroiled in a legal battle over the death of her husband in 2022, faces a new array of charges related to alleged fraud, Court TV reports.
In a startling turn of events, Richins finds herself confronted with two counts of mortgage fraud, two counts of insurance fraud, and three counts of forgery, as revealed in recently obtained court documents.
The saga began last year when Richins faced charges of aggravated murder and other offenses in connection with the untimely demise of her husband, Eric Richins. However, the legal landscape has since expanded, unveiling a web of deceit and financial misrepresentation.
Prosecutors allege that Richins, in a bid to secure financial gain, misrepresented her financial standing in mortgage applications. According to court filings, she purportedly claimed inflated account balances, painting a false picture of financial stability.
In one instance detailed in court documents, Richins allegedly stated a balance of $210,898 in her credit union account when the actual figure stood at a mere $15,609. Another mortgage application reportedly claimed an account balance of $702,831, underlining the extent of the alleged deception.
Further exacerbating the situation, Richins is accused of fraudulently applying for life insurance for her husband and forging his signature. This accusation suggests a calculated attempt to exploit her husband's demise for financial gain.
Authorities assert that Eric Richins met his tragic end due to Kouri Richins' actions, alleging that she administered a lethal dose of illicit Fentanyl, surpassing five times the lethal dosage, effectively ending his life.
The aftermath of her husband's death took a peculiar turn as Richins authored and self-published a children's book on grief. This endeavor, seemingly aimed at providing solace to her three sons, contrasts sharply with the allegations surrounding her husband's untimely demise.
The unfolding legal drama casts a stark light on the complexities surrounding the case, with Richins' actions under scrutiny from both legal and public perspectives.
As the legal proceedings progress, the community remains captivated by the intricacies of the case, eagerly awaiting further developments in the pursuit of justice for Eric Richins and closure for his loved ones.
Richins' journey through the judicial system continues, with the newly levied fraud charges adding layers of complexity to an already convoluted narrative.

Shockwaves reverberate through the legal sphere as new revelations surface in the high-profile case of Kouri Richins, charged with the murder of her husband, Eric Richins. A recently unsealed search warrant affidavit has shed light on potential involvement by Kouri's mother, Lisa Darden, in what investigators believe could be the planning and orchestration of Eric's untimely demise.
According to court documents obtained by Court TV, Detective Jeff O'Driscoll detailed suspicions surrounding Darden's proximity to a past suspicious overdose death. In 2006, Darden's adult female partner, with whom she shared a romantic relationship, tragically passed away from an oxycodone overdose. Despite having a history of medication abuse, the partner's demise raised suspicions of foul play, especially considering Darden's recent naming as the beneficiary of her estate.
Detectives probing into Kouri and Eric's personal dynamics unearthed a pattern of frequent communication between Kouri and her mother, spanning both personal matters and business dealings. This communication thread forms a critical aspect of the investigation, suggesting a potential nexus between Kouri's actions and her mother's past.
Responding to the State's assertions, Kouri's attorney, Skye Lazaro, staunchly defended Darden, emphasizing the tragic nature of her partner's addiction-related death. Lazaro dismissed allegations against Darden as baseless, asserting that her role as a beneficiary was commonplace and far from indicative of foul play.
"The fact that Ms. Darden's significant other was one of the millions that suffered from, and ultimately succumbed to, opioid addiction is hardly 'suspicious,'" Lazaro stated, challenging the narrative of conspiracy surrounding Darden's involvement.
Despite the defense's rebuttal, the search warrant affidavit underscores the gravity of the investigation, targeting the examination of Lisa Darden's electronic communication devices. Executed on May 4, 2023, the search aimed to unravel potential links between Darden's past and the unfolding tragedy surrounding Eric Richins' death.
As legal proceedings advance and new revelations emerge, the case casts a stark spotlight on the intricate web of familial ties and personal histories entwined within the fabric of a criminal investigation. With each twist and turn, the quest for justice for Eric Richins takes on deeper dimensions, underscoring the complexities inherent in unraveling the truth behind a tangled web of suspicion and accusation.
