Eric Richins // 310

In March of 2022, a 39-year-old father was found dead in his Utah home from a suspected fentanyl overdose. But in the midst of the investigation, and after his wife published a book about her grieving process, police uncovered suspicious information that led them to a May 2023 arrest. This is the murder of Eric Richins.
