Summary

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. BONUS EPISODES Apple Subscriptions: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/going-west-true-crime/id1448151398 Patreon: patreon.com/goingwestpodcast CASE SOURCES 1.
