Woman who wrote children’s book about grief following husband's death charged with his murder

Here's her Facebook.

Bizarre obituary

Straights can be so violent...I've said it 100 times....And Straight on Straight crime is the worst...Pray Y'all.

Giving her brats Hipster Names was the first clue. I swear I personally could solve a lot of crimes if I just have nothing but time to go thru the obits.

The publisher announced that the second edition will be retitled: Ashton Has No Daddy Because Mommy Killed Him

That's going to some lengths to give yourself material.

In her defense----a dead husband is Sadfishing Catnip.

She seems a bit...special in that interview. IQ of probably 80.

"Whether it be him showing up to a family dinner with no socks or sleeves on his shirt because he had to make an emergency bathroom stop along the way"

From the obituary^ What??

R8 What interview?

It's here, R10.

Utah has some pretty fucked up people and many of them seem to be Mormon. That woman who wrote Go Ask Alice and exploited the suicide teen boy’s family for her Satanic Panic journal was a Utah crazy Mormon.

R11 Thanks - wow, she came across as cold and fake

R11----That story says they were married 14 years but the OBIT said 9 YEARS.....

[quote]A few days later, on February 14, Eric and Kouri had a Valentine’s Day dinner at their Kamas home, the charging documents stated. Shortly after the dinner, Eric allegedly became very ill and told a friend he thought his wife was trying to poison him.

[quote]Two weeks after this incident, on February 26, Kouri contacted her friend again and asked for another $900 worth of fentanyl pills. The friend left the pills at the same Midway house. Six days later, on March 4, 2022, Eric was found dead of a fentanyl overdose.

a) Not blaming the victim; just genuinely curious (because this isn't the first time I've seen a story where someone who turned up dead previously said they thought their spouse was trying to poison them). If you think your spouse is trying to poison you...why stay with them? At the very least, why drink the Moscow Mule they prepare for you?

b) I understand gathering evidence, but it took them over a year to arrest her?

As LDS obits go, that was rather subdued.

(And I say that as someone whose pro bono obit-writing services have been offered around the ward by my parents. I spew out pure camp, and they eat it up.)

“Overcome by the grace and stamina of his glorious, perfected Spirit Body, a pain-free Teancum sprinted at breakneck speed into the open arms of his Father in Heaven. ‘Bone mets? Not here, son; not here.’”

[quote]He was an excellent archer and marksman, and had multiple trophy animals from all around the world including Africa, Mexico, Canada, and the United States.

Ugh.

[quote]"Whether it be him showing up to a family dinner with no socks or sleeves on his shirt because he had to make an emergency bathroom stop along the way" -From the obituary^ What??

I was about to post the same thing, R9 - like what the fuck does that even mean?! What did he get up to in reststops?!

Plus, they said he belonged to the “Church of Ladder Day Saints” like, what the actual fuck

Did he need to use his socks and sleeves as toilet paper at rest stops because of explosive diarrhea and no TP?

R14 - he had a nine-year-old kid and was married to his love of nine years? hmm. Doesn’t sound very mormon to me, unless they got married right after they met and she instantly got pregnant…🤷🏻

That obituary was so long, I missed the part about using socks and shirt sleeves to wipe his ass.

[quote] Eric loved fully, laughed loudly, and lived life with reckless abandon.

Eric lived, loved, and laughed.

Bitch looks like a psycho in that video.Talk about dead eyes.

[quote]She said she made him a Moscow Mule in the kitchen and brought it to their bedroom where he drank it in bed.

It's well known that Mormons don't drink alcohol. Guess this couple cheated in that area of their beliefs.

They probably had coffee at coffee breaks too, they will surly both be going to hell.

Most Mormons seem borderline retarded. And deeply hillbilly / white trash.

It cracks me up that they build these huge houses in what used to be the cheap parts of Utah and Nevada. Putting on airs like they are upper middle class. Meanwhile they are so stupid they can’t even fog a mirror.

[quote]"Whether it be him showing up to a family dinner with no socks or sleeves on his shirt because he had to make an emergency bathroom stop along the way" -From the obituary^ What??

It sounds like she is implying he would hit up truckstop bathroom glory holes before coming home for dinner. Probably why she killed him.

Ken is keeping the faith!

Has he had an alcohol enema though, don’t some of them get around it that way?

He was one of "those" straights. Shooting animals and teaching his brats to be aggressive sports players. Maybe we she should give Widow a pass if she promises not to do this again?..

[quote]unless they got married right after they met and she instantly got pregnant

These people are clearly outliers, but that’s normally something that would elicit a sigh of relief.

A couple being able to claim that Heavenly Father put them together and they were so in love that they got married almost immediately and were then #blessed with a MinuteBaby® is the consolation prize for losers who weren’t already engaged pre-mission, i.e., their senior year of high school.

Did the other wives help to murder him too?

Ugh. Inbreds.

[quote] "Whether it be him showing up to a family dinner with no socks or sleeves on his shirt because he had to make an emergency bathroom stop along the way" -From the obituary^ What??

She means emergency bathroom stop along the road or highway. When you gotta go, you gotta go, and sometimes it’s in the woods. That’s when your socks and sleeves come in handy as toilet paper.

I didn’t realize this was Linda Carter’s son.

39?!? Holy crap. I thought he was in his 50s. White men age like milk.

[quote]Woman who wrote children’s book about grief following husband's death charged with his murder

Of course.

That sounds like something John Waters or Ryan Murphy would try to adapt.

Police got suspicious when they found out her original book was titled "Daddys Dead and Mommys Happy"

Have Cops found Mommys boyfriend yet? Mommy ALWAYS has a boyfriend in these stories.

So the book is about the dad haunting his kids every second of the day like Ghost Dad? How is that supposed to be a relief to children instead of freak them out? And if she really believes her husband is still watching them every day then wouldn’t he be mad that she killed him? Wouldn’t she be scared he’ll try to kill her now?

R2

Written by AI:

“Ladder-Day Saints” is just one odd moment.

Bizarre, indeed.

Now I know why Lisa Rinna was put on this earth. She was born to play this role. She is just as Cold and Fake as Kouri

R41 And you just know Kouri is pronounced "KIE-REE"...for no particular reason.

Will she be our next Chris Watts of DL?

meh the guy killed animals for fun.

R44 He killed animals for fun AND he wiped his ass with his socks.

She only murdered him for research purposes.

Case dismissed.

[quote]R33 She means emergency bathroom stop along the road or highway. When you gotta go, you gotta go, and sometimes it’s in the woods. That’s when your socks and sleeves come in handy as toilet paper.

And the family thought these moments were obituary-worthy. Wow.

I kind of felt sorry for him until I read that obituary. He sounds like a complete horror show.

Not that she's any better, killing her husband then monetizing her faux grief. Sounds like they were a match made in Mormon heaven.

Why do we think she did it? Just for sympathy and clicks? She posted publicly on Facebook only four days ago about how hard it is for her to go on without her beloved dead husband.

He’s an animal murderer and she’s a wacko Mormon so both suck and got what they deserved. I wonder if the news team who interviewed her saw any red flags. Why didn’t her friend she asked for drugs go to the cops? Or is that friend “mommy’s special friend?”

What an evil bitch.

[quote]Why didn’t her friend she asked for drugs go to the cops?

Maybe because he's a drug dealer. Those guys don't usually keep cops on speed dial.

This piece-of-work's story would make a good John Waters film.

Mormons drink a lot of pop, perhaps part of her brain has rotted in chemical soup and she can no longer empathise.

"...showing up to a family dinner with no socks or sleeves on his shirt because he had to make an emergency bathroom stop along the way"

Does this mean that he cut/ripped the sleeves off his shirt and wiped his ass with them? The sleeves from his shirt?

Do they have magic underwear?

[quote]I swear I personally could solve a lot of crimes if I just have nothing but time to go thru the obits.

The dream job of all Dataloungers everywhere.

Presumably, R54. Real class, the lot of them.

I’ve only met a few Mormons and they were deeply crazy gay men. The craziest. And I’m a Catholic from the South.

Yikes. The husband knew she was out to get him.

Oh, so it WAS about money! At R59's link it details the $2 million house she wanted to buy and he didn't, her hacking Eric's life insurance policy to make herself the beneficiary instead of his business partner, and the fact that Eric changed his will because he knew she was trying to kill him.

Somebody needs to turn this into a lurid made for TV movie, stat!

Tip for the defense: There are still small, foreign factions operating in the mountains.

Maybe she should write a sequel book for children about how to deal with GUILT.

I can't imagine the level of evil required to kill your children's other parent. I'll make an exception for an abusive relationship, but this doesn't seem like one. She just wanted out of her marriage (without the scandal of a mormon divorce), or she wanted the life insurance money. This was pure selfishness, an act that took one life and immeasurably altered and damaged the lives of her children. Just evil.

The whole "I'm going to write a children's book about kids who lose a parent" REEKS of oppressive guilt.

They were house flippers which means they're probably wealthy with a lot of assets.

"...showing up to a family dinner with no socks or sleeves on his shirt because he had to make an emergency bathroom stop along the way"

I'm confused. It sounds from the above, that he made a habit of stopping off somewhere, defecating, then wiping his dirty ass on his socks and ripped off shirt sleeves.

My question is, Why didn't had just take toilet roll with him?

He would look pretty stupid always carrying a roll of toilet paper with him everywhere he goes. It would look unprofessional in meetings.

Not only is she a murderess, she's a STUPID murderess.

That obituary is bananas.

He wore a necklace with sleeve-snipping scissors on the days he went sockless.

[quote] One of Eric’s two sisters told investigators he had called her a few years ago from Greece. While he and Kouri were on vacation, a drink she handed him made him violently ill. The sister alleged Eric believed Kouri had tried to kill him.

[quote]Eric holds a joint life insurance policy with his business partner Cody Wright. The two men ran the business C&E Stone Masonry. A warrant states Kouri logged into the two men’s life insurance policy in January 2022 and changed the policy. She removed them as each other’s beneficiary and named herself as the policy’s only beneficiary. When the insurance company notified the men of the change, they were able to change it back.

[quote]Court filings say on Valentine’s Day in 2022, Eric suffered an allergic reaction after having dinner with Kouri. He broke out in hives, couldn’t breathe and passed out after using his son’s EpiPen and taking Benadryl. When Eric woke up, he called Wright to let him know what had happened.

So was the husband stupid or what? He’s known for years that his wife is trying to kill him and doesn’t leave. He repeatedly gets poisoned by her yet still accepts a Moscow Mule from her to drink. Weren’t the previous poisonings a sign you should not be accepting any food or drinks from her again?

I’d love to have seen her face when she found out after the funeral that he had removed her from his will.

Her part is too deep, looks like a female combover

Toni Collette for the movie.

Still puzzling over ripping sleeves off to wipe ass, - regularly? Or a one time thing?

Toni Collette is too expensive for Lifetime, R74. This has a true crime podcast turned into a Netflix mini-series written all over it.

Even though this case involves a heterosexual couple, I might wright and develop a miniseries based on this.

R59 Yes, we found that out in OP's link, dear

Yeah, what is up with that part? It's Trumpian in its death.

She got cut out of the will so retaliated by painting him as a guy who shits and then wipes his ass with his socks and sleeves. That's cold!

How did all of you miss this nugget?

[quote]He enjoyed great adventures to far off places, but also cherished the small and finer things in life like his Under Armour sweat suits and spending time with his family and friends.

[quote]Before his death, Eric changed the beneficiary of his will and his power of attorney, replacing Kouri with his sister. A warrant states he didn’t tell Kouri about the change because, according to his sisters, he believed Kouri might “kill him for the money” and wanted their kids to be financially secure.

Well, that was stupid. Had her have told her, she would have known she couldn't get any money from insurance and probably wouldn't have killed him.

Rose McGowan in a brunette wig for the Lifetime movie. She's got the crazy eyes down.

It must have been galling for his family to know he was responsible for his murder and watch all of her performative grief culminating in a book to help kids cope with grief. Were they telling him to leave her and watching helplessly?

Toni Collette and Rose McGowan are both years too old for the role. However, Chris Pratt is perfect for the victim.

Amanda Bynes knows her way around a drastic side part, and I'm sure she'll be no trouble on set. This is the perfect opportunity for her long-awaited comeback.

Was the book self-published? That cover art!

Was daddy really straight ?

He’d suspected her for over two years.

He was finally “thinking” of filing for divorce.

Was he that desperate to be seen as a married man?

Maybe he was afraid to leave because there were kids, that happens. If he knew he's a psychobitch he might be afraid that she'd abuse the kids, or turn the kids against him, or that she might make accusations that would lose him any contact with the kids.

As it happened it turned out that staying, possibly for the sake of the kids, was the worst possible option - he ended up dead and god knows who's taking care of the kids now. But once you marry a crazy-ass abusive person and have children with them, there are ZERO good options.

He was dumb. He got sick multiple times and he knew the reason he got sick was because she was poisoning him. He even told friends this. Yet he continues to drink the drinks she makes him. Does he have a death wish?

Yeah, unless she poured it down his throat, not drinking the Moscow mule was one good option he had available to him.

Holy fuck @ r2, that obituary reads like the writer is thrilled to bits he's gone.

Well, she did throw a party to celebrate the next day.

Creepy how he really suspected something based on actual experiences, repeatedly. I guess the complexities of real life kept getting in the way from him making a drastic change, or he kept waiting for the right time, or he was in denial. Weird.

I love animal murderes. He shouldn't have been killed. He had an adorable smile. She should be ashamed of herself. I bet if they had pursuitéd the millenial netflix couch life without annoying brats, he would still be alive.

do you agree with the granny?

She killed him because he was losing his hair.

How surprising!

R97 And his socks.

New development: she secretly took out $2 million in life insurance on him.

I was just going to post this R100. She's a fucking dimbulb, isn't she?

Those smiles in the pic at R100 looks so forced. I worked at a hotel years ago as a bartender and worked a lot of weddings or family events held in the banquet rooms. I would see straight couples arguing in hallways, parking lots, other areas, and then they would sit at the tables for pictures with their forced smiled. I believe that only a small percentage of married straight couples are happy.

^^^Oops I meant types "smiles" not "smiled".

It might be confirmation bias, but she is a dead eyed bitchface

We live in the age of grift.

Mormons.

So are they going to share a planet in the afterlife? Seems uncomfortable

I laughed when I read this headline on this post.

Seriously, what kind of world do we live in now.

Moscow Mules, edibles, and murder are off-limits to Mormons, so I don't think they'll be sharing a planet.

They were Mormons, right? For them, divorce would have been more fraught with difficulty and social stigma than in other sects of Christianity.
