In a recorded phone call from jail, Kouri Richins detailed what she described as her new ’65-page novel’ she’s been working on from behind bars. Richins, who wrote a children’s book on grief, is accused of killing her husband with a fatal dose of fentanyl.
Prosecutors have accused Kouri of attempted witness tampering after finding a “Walk the Dog” letter in her cell. The six-page, handwritten letter — which had “Walk the Dog” written inexplicably at the top of it — included what appeared to be instructions to Kouri’s mother to give to her brother, Ronney Darden, about what to say in testimony.
In a responding legal motion, Kouri claimed the papers found in her cell were privileged communication with her attorney and denied that the letter was witness tampering. Instead, Kouri said the papers weren’t a letter at all, but actually a draft of a fictional book she’s writing. “I’m telling you this is insane,” she told her brother. “There was never a letter. There was never a letter in a book or an envelope.”
