Kouri Richins, grief book author accused of killing husband with fentanyl-laced cocktail, faces 26 new charges

Kouri Richins, the Utah mom who allegedly poisoned her husband with a fentanyl-laced cocktail and then wrote a children's book about coping with grief, is facing dozens of new charges.  

The charges, filed Friday in a Utah court, include five counts of second-degree felony mortgage fraud, seven counts of second-degree felony money laundering, one count of second-degree felony communications fraud, one count of pattern of unlawful activity, five counts of third-degree felony forgery, and seven counts of third-degree felony issuing a bad check, according to documents reviewed by CBS News. 

Kouri Richins and Eric Richins wed in 2013. At the time of their marriage, Eric Richins owned a successful stone masonry business. As part of a prenuptial agreement, the couple relinquished all rights or claims to any businesses they established. The only exception was if Eric Richins died while the two were still married. In that case, his business would transfer to Kouri Richins.
