There was that case in Australia last year, the poisoner just did a really bad job at covering her tracks. There probably are intelligent people able to get away with it that we don't hear about. It's crazy.

It was wild reading that as it happened. "Oh no, only the people I invited were poisoned! I'm so lucky to be alive!" Homie. That's suspicious as hell.

Didn't she also leave a book of poisonous mushrooms in her house or something. Like not even hidden away just on a table somewhere.

From what I remember, she had it in her browsing history and also had a dehydrator that she bought specially to prep the mushrooms that she did a bad job of disposing.

The day after she was discharged from hospital, CCTV captured Erin travelling to a local dump and disposing of a food dehydrator later found to contain traces of poisonous mushrooms.

She was also using three phones around the time of the lunch, two of which disappeared shortly afterwards. The one she did hand over to police had been repeatedly wiped – including while detectives were searching her house.

For investigators, the red flags began mounting quickly.

Questions about the source of the mushrooms elicited odd answers. Patterson claimed some of them had been bought dried from an Asian grocery in Melbourne, but she couldn't remember which suburb. When asked about the brand, or for transaction records, she said they were in plain packaging and she must've paid cash.
