A Utah woman accused of killing her husband had some dicey searches in her internet history, prosecutors say. CNN and Law & Crime round up some newly revealed examples in the case of Kouri Richins, a 33-year-old mother of three accused of deliberately lacing husband Eric Richins' cocktail with a deadly amount of fentanyl:

  • “what is a lethal dose of fentanyl"
  • “can cops force you to do a lie detector test?”
  • "women utah prison"
  • “luxury prisons for the rich in America"
  • “death certificate says pending, will life insurance still pay?”
  • “If someone is poisoned what does it go down on the death certificate as”
  • “how to permanently delete information from an iPhone remotely"
  • "when does the FBI get involved in a case"

Richins' case caught the public's attention in particular because she wrote a children's book about grief after her husband's death. She faces charges of murder and drug possession, per the AP. The text messages were released as part of a bail hearing on Monday that will determine whether Richins will be released on bail for the duration of her legal case. (More murder suspect stories.)
