| 0:00.0 | This is a true crime in real time update from True Crime Today and the Hidden Killers podcast. |
| 0:06.9 | The quiet town of Comas, Utah was shocked in March 22 when Eric Richens was found dead in his home. |
| 0:14.5 | At first, it seemed like an unthinkable tragedy. A devoted husband and father lost too soon. |
| 0:23.1 | But as investigators peeled back the layers of his untimely death, a darker, more sinister story began to emerge, at the heart of it was his |
| 0:29.2 | wife, Curry Rich Inns, whose actions before and after her husband's death raised more questions than answers. |
| 0:37.5 | Eric Rich In's autopsy revealed a chilling detail. |
| 0:41.0 | His death was caused by a lethal dose of fentanyl, |
| 0:43.9 | a synthetic opioid so potent that just a small amount could kill. |

| 1:19.7 | Corey had asked him to procure fentanyl for her. Jeffs, an ordinary man drawn into extraordinary |
| 1:25.7 | circumstances, described how Corey's request felt urgent and deliberate. |
| 1:31.2 | Tragically, just weeks after giving this statement, Jeff's died in a motorcycle accident, |
| 1:36.1 | leaving his words to be contested in court without the benefit of cross-examination. |
| 1:41.1 | The timing of his death, though officially ruled accidental, added another layer of complexity to an already intricate case. |
| 1:48.6 | Jeff's wasn't the only person Corey allegedly approached. |
| 1:52.0 | Court filings revealed that she had also asked another employee, a housekeeper to help her acquire fentanyl. |
