Murdered husband of Utah children's book author had wife's meds in his body when he died: court docs

Eric Richins, a Utah man allegedly poisoned to death by his wife in 2022, had his wife's medication in his stomach when he died, according to an unsealed warrant.

"Eric also had a small amount of Quetiapine in his stomach contents," a Summit County detective wrote in one of the warrants unsealed Thursday. "Eric did not have a prescription for Quetiapine but his wife had a prescription as well as the pills at her home." Audrey Conklin is a digital reporter for Fox News Digital and FOX Business.

Kouri Richins told authorities that the Quetiapine pills were for sleeping, but a medical examiner informed police that the pills are used as an antipsychotic, the warrant states.
