She had a real estate company, she volunteered in her community, and her husband Eric owned a multi-million dollar masonry business.
By all accounts, they were devoted parents, they had three children, and everybody saw them as a kind of a young, successful, happy couple.
Well, that was until tragically on March 4th, 2022, Eric was shockingly found dead after he and his wife had shared a nightcap.
Well, an autopsy would later reveal that he died from a fentanyl overdose with five times the lethal limit in his system.
That's right, five times.
His family was in deep grief.
And interestingly, a year after Eric's death, Corrie Wrenchins published a children's book about grief trying to help her sons cope with the loss of their father.
She even appeared on a local television show.

This story was one that people were talking about everywhere.
And of course, we're still talking about it after we aired it on 2020.
So to help us peel back the layers of this unbelievable story.
We are turning to our ABC News legal analyst, Brian Buckmeyer, who reported this piece for 2020 and included some exclusive interviews with Corey's family, a former best friend, and all kinds of clips that you're going to hear today that you didn't hear about in that episode.
Brian is bringing us some new details from inside the courtroom, which is something he does best because you are a lawyer in addition to being a legal analyst for us.
Brian, good to see you.
Yeah, yeah.
Always a pleasure.
