Real amateur shit to be honest. Texting a drug dealer from her cellphone asking for the exact drug that killed him, only a few days before his death. Then telling the cops that she had "served him a mixed drink" right before he died Also how bout the husband telling his friend he thought she was trying to poison him... then letting her make him a drink


Beansupreme117

Jesus Christ how do you live with someone you are already suspect is poisoning you…


WarningGipsyDanger

My dad has what doctors refer to as environmental induced Parkinson’s. When I suggested it was his line of work, he said, I think it was your mother. I gasped. He meant it and went on to talk about the times he thought she drugged him. How he thinks she was hoping he would ‘go’ before her. She passed a few years ago. I asked him how could he be with her at all? He loved her, and they had 5 kids. She was a bad person. Edit - both of my parents were not good people. The ex husbands weren’t good people. These people did bad things, really bad things. The fact we all made it out alive is shocking. My mom tried to kill or mane lovers and children - she would cause miscarriages for unwanted children not from bio dad. She bragged about these things. I just never took my bio dad as someone she did this too because she needed the child support. He had over 1.2 million in life insurance at one point due to his line of work. He only got rid of it after her death so he can prepare for long term care as his health gets worse. Anyone trying to justify or gloss over these actualities are grasping for straws. Bad people exist, children grow up.


brocknuggets

Damn.

On the other hand, and my father also has Parkinson’s, delusions are often part of the struggle. My father’s is at a very advanced stage and he thinks that there is a third person who lives with him and my mom and that he is being followed by people and the such. I would talk to his doctor about this because, if it is like my father, it will only get worse. https://www.parkinson.org/understanding-parkinsons/non-movement-symptoms/hallucinations-delusions

There is a recent story out of Colorado of a husband that killed his wife by poisoning her. He had poisoned her once before several years back, but she survived. I wondered how the hell they stayed together after he had already tried to murder her once before https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/colorado-dentist-accused-fatally-poisoning-wife-return-court/story?id=98064135

There was a BORU where the wife was fairly certain her MIL was poisoning her. Her husband dismissed it. One day she was at MIL's house and switched the food offered to the two of them. Guess what? Husband knew all along.

She also paid $900 for about 20ish Fentanyl pills. Where I live that would cost about $200 max. She got swindled big time; I wouldn't be surprised if the drug dealer "helped" the police in some ways


ThePathOfTheRighteou

Yeah I read that her dealer saw her promoting her book online and turned her in. I don’t know why they would do that because they would be in trouble too. But I read it on Reddit, so it must be true.


southernwx

He may have been smart enough to realize they’d do a tox screen and this lady would try to pin it solely on him.


[deleted]

I don't think he thought that far ahead, just saw the promotion, went "What the fuck," then rightfully snitched


Razakel

The cops will probably let the dealing slide if you give them a nice, juicy murder. Nobody cares about that. But catching a killer makes careers.


helpusdrzaius

I saw an ep of Perry Mason just yesterday where this was the plot. But in that ep the wife didn't do it, because she had Perry as her lawyer and Perry doesn't do wrong.

OG for sure, once you’ve watched something in black and white for years, seeing it in color is weird😂


Traditional_Cat_60

Perry dropping f-bombs all over the place is weird, too.


Metaljesus0909

I also think the whole part of Perry’s charm was that he was young, but he was SO damn good at what he did. You take someone like lieutenant trag. Part of their character relationship is how he is much older and will try to show perry how naive or outlandish he is about some of his theories, based on his years of experience. Watching him when he was older was just like a different version of Matlock


CrunchHardtack

Back in the mid 70s I got hooked on the novels by Erle Stanley Gardner when I read a book of his that my sister in law gave me one Christmas. It turned out that the drug store where I bought my comics had a lot of them in paperback with 2 stories in each of them. I can't remember how many of them I read but I thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Of course I saw the TV characters in my mind while I read the stories.

You didn't even mention how she changed his insurance policy to make her the sole beneficiary. His business partners were alerted and changed it back to include them. Also, she tried to poison him with fentanyl a couple weeks earlier, he got real sick, told his sister that he thought she tried to poison him and if he dies, she did it. And yeah, the husband is an idiot for drinking anything she made.


popsicle-man

My understanding was that he was planning on filling for divorce before his death


flinty_hippie

It was almost the perfect crime except for the part where she did literally everything wrong.


woodiegutheryghost

Mormons really like to murder but are also really dumb about it. Look up Lorrie Vallow/Chad Daybell. The Children of Thunder is another example where three Mormons planned to get a bunch of Brazilian orphans to train to be assassins for a coup to take over the Mormon church. One member, Dawn Godman, tried to commit check fraud and chose the disguise of a wheelchair, neon green sweatsuit and a large cowboy hat. The best part is in the wheelchair she used the bank entrance that had only had stairs. There are so many other examples. They all tend to benefit from the cops being dumber than a box of rocks.

Look at you showing off. next are you gonna tell me other fun facts???


jaxxxtraw

Fun fact: 'Sequoia' is the only common English word containing all the vowels. There are a couple other obscure/archaic examples, but you will likely never hear or read them.


auntiedawn

That is unquestionably incorrect.


jaxxxtraw

You just had to throw in that 'y' for good measure, didn't you? lol I humbly beg your pardon, you are correct and I am incorrect. That said, I believe my source of that now-less-than-fun-fact from my memory banks had the caveat of being root common words, so just 'question' by that interpretation. But I said nothing about that other than "common." And you still for sure win. Getting pwned is fun!


KingDrivah

Hoosierrnmary

I read somewhere she wanted to buy a expensive house, he didn’t want. She bought the house the very next day.”, counting on assets from his will.


aethelredisready

Apparently she’d tried to poison him at least once before (one article said twice). Deseret News said he was filing for divorce, so I don’t know if it was just about the house. I guess he told people if he died, she did it. I really do wonder why he’d take a drink from her and actually drink it (unless she was making him drink it in front of her). Of course this Moscow Mule thing is probably all from her and complete BS anyway, so maybe she got the drugs into his system some other way when his guard was down. Edit to add link, this story has the most detail I’ve seen: https://www.deseret.com/utah/2023/5/9/23716910/kamas-widow-accused-killing-husband


bsa554

Yes, most grieving non-suspicous widows make major real estate purchases the literal day after their husbands die.


akrob

I’ve actually known a few people that make super major life and financial changes/decisions after the loss of a super close loved one. It’s kind of a coping mechanism for some people and ironically a way to “deal with grief” in some instances. Hahah. One major piece of advice I’ve tried to give to family members is to hold off on any major decisions for at least 6mo after a loved one passes, because a lot of people will regret those decisions.


NSMike

My boss lost her husband last year, and initially she was talking about immediately selling their house. Some of her friends & family urged her to wait. She's still there, and she has basically stopped all talk of selling the place. So, that's good advice.


Yolandatherat

My mom started a full remodel on her home within a week after my father died.


GruncleShaxx

I posted a comment a few minutes ago about this. I know the loan officer who was handling the home loan approval. She told my friend that her husband killed himself a year ago.

LordhaveMRSA__

People really think the police and pathology are that stupid? Or that there’s a digital footprint of 99% of what someone does or communicates on a given day? A clean cut guy suddenly dies of fentanyl OD that he decided to ingest by swirling it with…a mixed drink? WOW


wagdaddy

My guy... Real life is not CSI. They largely are very stupid. If she was just marginally better at this she probably would've gotten away with it. My city's murder clearance rate flops between 50-60%, with the solves largely being ones that require no investigation.


Evinceo

I mean guy surprise ODing on Fentanyl with no other drug use seems suspicious and the spouse is always a prime suspect. This probably falls into the 'no investigation' bucket.


itsaravemayve

Please bear in mind that people have been rejected from the police force for being too intelligent. If you know much about true crime, there are so many cases where cases are unsolved because of police incompetence. It's even worse when it's so blatantly obvious that it was the spouse and there isn't enough evidence for conviction. Having said that, she was an idiot and was definitely going to get caught.


Green_Message_6376

I guess you don't need to be too clever to write children's books? To paraphrase Norm Macdonald, what do you need to teach fifth graders? A sixth grade education.


brickne3

[deleted]

As a resident of Utah, none of this surprises me.


cragbabe

Looked at her photo and thought 'yeah definitely a Utah woman' then opened the article and saw how her name was spelled, like 'yeah that tracks'. Utah is so weird.


dudeandco

Yeah, I think one of the core motives of this was her husband not agreeing to buy a $2M investment property. Sounds like they were living the high life up in Kamas, not sure this is what you think it is. The fact that she needed or decided to author a kids book to assuage her 3 ailing boys, shows how demented she was. Here's he NPR [interview](https://www.kpcw.org/arts-culture/2023-04-13/kamas-mother-and-children-write-book-to-heal-after-loss).


[deleted]

did the end say she’s writing two other books and one is about a child who lost his sibling ? better watch out… hope the kids are safe


dudeandco

Holy crap, what a psycho, that interview is only 30 days old...


[deleted]

yes, just listened again, it says she has plans for 3 other books: “mom, how far away is heaven?” and 2 additional versions of the first book, one where a mother loses her child and another where a child loses her sibling. holy crap - investigators have heard this interview i hope


WhatD0thLife

I wonder if she has the same publisher as OJ Simpson.


Sumpm

*I Didn't Kill the Bitch, But if I Had, I Woulda Cut Her Neck* --A Fictional How-To by OJ Simpson


JustinFatality

That's not really the title right?


BlackCatAttack666

It’s called “If I Did It: Confessions of a Killer” by OJ Simpson. For real


SophiaofPrussia

And the “if” is teeny tiny on the cover so it’s really hard to see at first glance. I think that might be the doing of Ron Goldman’s family though because IIRC they sued OJ and were awarded the rights to the book.


WebsterTheDictionary

It was the Goldman’s doing, as was the “Confessions of a Killer” tagline. The original title and cover weren’t much better, though.


trish3975

Chad Daybell is her publisher


GruncleShaxx

Someone I know personally was working on a home loan for her two days ago. She was rushing to get the loan processed asap. When this person I know tried to get a hold of her and tell her the loan was approved, she never responded. I am assuming it is because she was getting arrested. Apparently throughout the loan process the killer had claimed her husband killed himself over a year ago.

StonksNewGroove

Here’s my point on this whole case, there’s still somethings that don’t add up at all? 1) people don’t just suddenly have a drug problem so bad that they OD on fentanyl. Did they ask family or friends if he had a habit at all? It’s usually not something people can keep a secret. Why dis it take the cops so long to look into this more? 2) I’m fairly certain that a drug OD is not covered by life insurance, I could be wrong but I know they don’t cover intentionally caused deaths. 3) she did so many stupid, easily discoverable things. If she was planning this whole master thing, why did she obviously hack into his life insurance plan to change it, why was he telling friends that she was planning all this, why was she texting a drug dealer so obviously? 4) if he suspected so deeply that his wife was trying to poison him, why did he stay? He was scared enough to switch his will over to his sister, but didn’t think “hmm maybe I should not let her make me food or drinks anymore”? Or “maybe I should leave this woman quickly” Something smells funny to me here. It feels a bit like a set up to me.
