Widow Accused of Poisoning Husband, Stealing from Estate, and Profiting from Death

Kouri Richins is charged with murdering her husband by slipping him a lethal dose of fentanyl, according to lawsuits and charges filed against her.
Richins is accused of stealing money from her husband's accounts, taking out fraudulent loans and insurance policies in his name, and illegally profiting from his death.
Richins wrote and published a children's book about coping with grief after her husband's death but allegedly used his name and likeness without consent and failed to share proceeds with his estate.
Lawsuits filed against Richins seek over $13 million in damages and aim to bar her from selling her book and profiting further from her husband's death.
Richins maintains her innocence and claims prosecutors lack evidence to prove she poisoned her husband, but the lawsuits argue she made moves to "profit from his passing. "
