A Utah children's book author who wrote about coping with grief after her husband's death, and was later accused of fatally poisoning him, was called "desperate, greedy and extremely manipulative" by her sister-in-law during a detention hearing Monday.
Kouri Richins, a mother of three, will remain in jail for the duration of her trial on murder and drug charges, a judge said.
Her case became a true-crime sensation last month when charges were filed as a transfixed public pored over "Are You With Me?" — the illustrated storybook about an angel wing-clad father watching over his children after passing away — and scrutinized remarks Richins made promoting the book as a tool to help children grieve.

A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
