Kouri Richins is accused of killing her husband by poisoning him with fentanyl. She then wrote a children's book to, we are told, help kids deal with the loss of a parent.
Part of the evidence against Richins is her Google search history. The details are in the attached Fox News article.
So, what would your search history show? Do you ever delete your search history?
Adding to the unsavory nature of the searches, some of them were made on his son’s iPad, the prosecutor said.

I delete mine when I close up...every day. Sometimes multiple times a day. Just a habit I started doing because I thought it "released" memory holds and kept my machine "cleaner."
A search history reveal could be embarrassing for many people, if not incriminating.
I suspect mine would not be of much interest to anyone.
Mine would look odd to an outsider, because I'm always searching for links to back up posts. So they would run the gamut of many different topics. As a matter of fact, that's going to be my "alibi" if I ever get questioned "That search was for a City Data topic", lol.

my understanding is this is like deleting texts from your phone, it is still retrievable
I use duck duck go about half the time, google the other half. I've found that this old Chromebook runs a little faster if I delete cookies and searches and a few other things every couple of weeks.
I do wonder about folks who make these incriminating google searches, either before or after committing some crime. By now you would think that it is well know the police are going to be looking at your search history...
My search history is boring and of no interest to anyone but me.
I don't delete my search history because it's useful for locating a page from several months ago or even longer.
It seems 2023 is ripe for mouth-breathing criminals.
That and auto logins and whatnot.
My search history would be all over the place, from searching for random junk to back up forum posts, to researching for work, to just… random articles about every and anything.

I think you have to follow up with a "clean disk".
But I could be wrong...
