Extended Logline:

After Kouri Richins, a Utah mother, is accused of lacing her husband's cocktail with a fatal dose of fentanyl, "IMPACT x Nightline" goes beyond the violent allegations to examine a case that has captivated the nation. What began as the sudden and unexplained death of her husband soon unraveled into a shocking investigation, with prosecutors alleging a calculated act hidden behind a carefully constructed façade of grief. A year after her husband's death, Richins published a children's book about coping with loss, raising chilling questions about timing, motive and intent. With her trial unfolding in front of the world - and reaching a shocking conclusion this week - "IMPACT x Nightline" explores whether this is a story of cold-blooded murder or reasonable doubt and what justice ultimately looks like.
