Kouri Richins, a Utah mom of three and children's book author accused of killing her husband last year, allegedly Googled "luxury prisons for the rich" after his death, according to new court documents.
Prosecutors say 33-year-old Kouri Richins poisoned her husband, 39-year-old Eric Richins, with fentanyl the evening of March 3, 2022, at their home in Kamas, just outside of Park City, while their three young sons were sleeping.
New details of the case were revealed in court records, though, which show that investigators got access to Richins' phone and found various typo-ridden Google searches that they believe may be used as incriminating evidence against the suspect, though her defense team disagrees.
She apparently searched the following phrases beginning in April 2022: "luxury prisons for the rich in america," "how long does life insrance companies takento.pay;" "can you delete everythjng on an old icloud account," "can deleted text messages be retrieved," "what information can be cbtained from a cellphone," "how to turn find my iphone off," "can cops force you to do a lie detector test," "when does FBI get involved in a case," "what is considered a lethal.dose of fentanyl," and "what are you allowed inside utah jails."
The suspect's defense attorney, Skye Lazaro, filed a response to the state's allegations on Sunday, saying her "search history is merely in response to what was happening with the investigation, not evidence as of guilt as the State asserts."
