Wicked and Grim: A True Crime Podcast

About a year after her husband’s sudden death, a Utah woman published a children’s book about grief, hoping to help her three sons cope with the sudden loss of their father. But behind that story was a very different reality, one investigators had already begun uncovering. Her husband, Eric Richins, had been found dead in their bed in March 2022, and an autopsy later revealed he had five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in his system.What initially appeared to be a sudden medical emergency quickly turned into a homicide investigation, with evidence of poisoning pointing back to the person telling the story.Our other podcast: "FEARFUL" - https://open.spotify.com/show/56ajNkLiPoIat1V2KI9n5c?si=OyM38rdsSSyyzKAFUJpSywMERCH:https://www.redbubble.com/people/wickedandgrim/shop?asc=uPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/wickedandgrim?fan_landing=trueYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@wickedlifeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wickedandgrim/ Instagram:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wickedandgrim/?hl=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/wickedandgrimWebsite: https://www.wickedandgrim.com/

On May 24, 2019, 50 year old Jennifer Dulos dropped her five children off at school in New Canaan, Connecticut, and returned home, then seemingly vanished within a two hour window. Inside her garage, investigators would later find significant blood evidence, while her abandoned vehicle turned up nearby in Waveny Park.
