Eric Richins ex-wife – Moscow Mule victim was married to Julie Jorgenson

Moscow Mule victim Eric Richins was worth more to his wife dead than he was alive according to the terms of a prenup signed on the day of their wedding.

Kouri Richins – who wrote a book on coping with grief after her husband’s death – has been charged on multiple counts related to his murder at their home near Park City, Utah, in March last year.

Police believe she gave him a lethal dose of fentanyl disguised in a Moscow Mule – a vodka-based cocktail.

The decision to have a prenup in the first place was inspired by the experience of Eric’s 2009 divorce from his first wife Julie Jorgenson.

Who was Julie Jorgenson, Eric Richins ex-wife?

Julie Ann Jorgenson was born on January 7, 1984 in Rapid City, South Dakota, to Mary Jo Waters and Ron Jorgenson.

Her family moved to Idaho Falls in 1990, where Julie attended school, graduating from Bonneville High School in 2002.

She studied child development at the University of Utah, graduating in 2006, and was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.

While at school, she began her career at McCann Worldgroup, a Salt Lake City advertising agency, and quickly moved up the ladder to become a Senior Account Executive a job she absolutely loved.

Eric Richins and Julie Jorgenson were married in August 2005.

Their marriage lasted for several years before they eventually got divorced.

It is unclear what led to the dissolution of their marriage, but it is likely that they had their fair share of challenges and difficulties, as many marriages do.

Jorgenson died aged 26 in a fiery car crash in January 2011 .

She was rear ended by a pickup truck that barreled into her at 70 mph as she waited at a red light, according to a report in the Salt Lake Tribune.

The driver, who was later sentenced to prison, had been smoking weed and couldn’t see through his frost covered windshield.

Eric’s family was trying to protect him and prevent a repeat of the ‘difficulties’ of his divorce from Jorgenson, according to court filings.

Instead, he may have unwittingly signed his own death warrant.
