In April 2023, an Utah mother of three appeared on Good Things Utah with a story of heartbreak and resilience. 💔 A year earlier, Kouri Richins had unexpectedly lost her husband, Eric, leaving her to raise their three young sons without their father. Determined to turn tragedy into something meaningful, she wrote a children’s book called Are You With Me?, hoping to help other families navigate the pain of losing someone they loved. A grieving widow. A devoted mother. A woman turning unimaginable heartbreak into hope. It was the kind of uplifting story morning television loved to share. Three weeks later, Kouri Richins was arrested for murdering her husband. Eric had been fatally poisoned with fentanyl. In March 2026, a jury convicted her of his murder. According to prosecutors, the killing was not a sudden act of desperation. They said Richins had obtained fentanyl pills through an acquaintance and arranged for them to be delivered to her home. On the night Eric died, she allegedly prepared him a Moscow mule and mixed the drugs into the drink without his knowledge. Eric became violently ill after consuming it. Prosecutors said Richins later told investigators that she had found him unresponsive in their bedroom and called for help. But the medical evidence pointed to a fatal fentanyl overdose, and investigators uncovered messages and testimony that contradicted her account. The prosecution also presented evidence that Richins had been involved with another man and that Eric had confronted her about their relationship. They argued that she had a motive to remove her husband and gain control of his assets, while attempting to make his death appear accidental. The case became even more disturbing because, prosecutors said, this was not the first alleged attempt. They presented evidence that Richins had previously tried to poison Eric with a fentanyl-laced drink, but that he survived and became suspicious. In the final attempt, investigators said, the dose was lethal. Kouri Richins was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on May 13, 2026—which would have been her murdered husband Eric's 44th birthday.

ANDROCIDE: THE FEMALE SERIAL KILLER WHO HUNTED MEN FOR PLEASURE March 2013. England. Joanna Dennehy didn’t just murder men. She deliberately targeted them. She stabbed three men to death, dumped their bodies in ditches, and then attacked two more men at random. Both survived. Her victims were Łukasz Słaboszewski, John Chapman, and Kevin Lee. She reportedly refused to target women, particularly mothers. Her explanation for killing? She wanted to see how cold she really was. Then she developed a taste for it. Dennehy pleaded guilty and received a whole-life prison sentence. Androcide refers to the killing of men or boys because of their sex. Dennehy’s deliberate selection of male victims raises a disturbing question: Why do we hear so little about women who specifically target men? Three men murdered. Two more nearly killed. Five lives devastated by one woman.
