Ina Thea Kenoyer,\u200c 47, was arrested \u2064earlier this week and is now \u200bfacing Class AA Felony Murder charges for the poisoning death of Steven Edward Riley Jr., 51, from Minot, North Dakota.<\/p>\n<p>The Minot Police Department released a statement on \u2062their\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/minotpd\/posts\/633986248904565\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook page<\/a> confirming the arrest. \u200cRiley \u2063passed away on\u2063 September 5 at a hospital in Bismarck, and an\u2062 autopsy later revealed that his cause of death was indeed poisoning.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>A Complex Case Unraveled<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;This case was extremely complex,&#8221;\u2062 stated Investigations Commander Capt. \u2062Dale \u200cPlessas. &#8220;Thank \u2064you to everyone who provided us with information that helped our investigators piece this together.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/10\/31\/us\/north-dakota-poisoning-murder.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New York Times<\/a>, Riley was poisoned with\u200b ethylene glycol, the main ingredient found\u200c in antifreeze. An affidavit obtained by the outlet revealed that Riley&#8217;s loved ones had reported Kenoyer making comments about poisoning him with antifreeze both before and after his death.<\/p>\n<p>The couple had been together for a decade, but their relationship took\u2062 a dark turn when Riley inherited a\u2062 staggering $30 million. Reports suggest that Riley was planning to leave Kenoyer, which allegedly led to her \u200cdrastic and deadly\u200c actions.<\/p>\n<p>On\u200c September 3, just as Riley was \u2062about to claim his inheritance, he suddenly fell ill, as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/nd-woman-accused-poisoning-boyfriend-antifreeze-hours-after-inherited-30-million-8385706\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">People Magazine<\/a>. The following day, emergency services were called to\u200d their residence, finding Riley unresponsive. He was rushed\u200d to an emergency room \u200band later \u2062transferred to the Bismarck hospital, where he tragically passed away.<\/p>\n<p>One of \u2062Kenoyer&#8217;s friends came forward to the police, \u2063revealing that she witnessed\u2064 Kenoyer\u200c disposing of Riley&#8217;s belongings outside their home on the day he fell ill. The same\u2064 friend disclosed that Kenoyer was distraught because she knew Riley was planning to\u200b leave her \u2063after receiving his inheritance.<\/p>\n<p>When questioned by the authorities, Kenoyer claimed that Riley\u200c had suffered from a heat stroke and \u2063had been \u200ddrinking. However, the autopsy \u2062results showed no\u2062 traces of alcohol\u200b in his system. Additionally, the police reportedly discovered a bottle of window cleaner in the living room,\u200b containing a liquid believed to be antifreeze.<\/p>\n<p>After Riley&#8217;s death, Kenoyer \u2063made a shocking demand, insisting that she\u2063 should receive a\u200d portion\u200c of the $30 million inheritance \u200das his\u200b &#8220;common \u2063law&#8221; wife. \u200cShe even claimed that she would split the money\u200b with Riley&#8217;s \u2062son. However, her hopes were shattered when authorities informed her that North Dakota did not\u200d recognize her as a common law spouse. This revelation left her furious, \u2063according to the \u200baffidavit.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1699107037268000&#038;usg=AOvVaw1QwofUf61Oyzu4SmGdMaPc\">CLICK HERE TO \u200cGET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>A Heinous Act and a Life Behind Bars<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;This \u2064was \u200dan intentional and heinous act.
