Kristin met Greg whilst she was a teenage runaway with a drug problem.
He helped her beat her addiction and they fell in love. The couple married
and the intelligent and resourceful Kristin eventually landed a top job as a
toxicologist.
Unfortunately she started an affair, resumed her dependency on
methamphetamine and decided to leave Greg. They argued, and he
allegedly threatened to tell her workplace that she was back on drugs.
Hours later, Greg lay dying of a massive fentanyl overdose - and there
was fentanyl missing from Kristin's lab...
Caitlin Rother has written a lively and immaculately researched book
which explores the defendant's life before, during and after the murder
trial. Moreover, she understands addiction and co-dependency, having
lived with an alcoholic husband who eventually committed suicide.
