Kristin wrote in three different diaries which police collected during their investigation, including three separate entries for the day after Greg’s death. Prosecutors said she wrote in the diaries as part of her staged suicide scheme, to be read first by her husband and later by police.

Drug audits at the Medical Examiner’s Office found that this 10 mg vial of fentanyl, which was purchased for testing purposes, was empty. Fentanyl is the drug that killed Greg. The ME’s office had not run any tests using the vial since it was purchased in 1997.
