Listen Later

Join host Elisa as we dive into the chilling case of Erin Patterson, centred around a tragic family lunch involving toxic mushrooms and Beef Wellington.'

The psychology behind poisoners reveals why even intelligent criminals make critical errors, with Erin Patterson's case highlighting cognitive distortions, overconfidence and neurological factors that contribute to poor judgment despite academic intelligence. Australia's notorious female poisoners throughout history demonstrate similar patterns of calculated deception and manipulation, traits that align with Erin's profile as someone who could blend into the background while meticulously planning murder.

• Intelligent criminals often fail in their cover-up attempts due to cognitive distortions and overconfidence
• Erin brought her phone while collecting mushrooms and disposed of evidence on camera despite being "true crime savvy"
• Psychology of poisoners: immature, spoiled personalities who are manipulative and desperate to get their way
• Victoria's infamous female poisoning cases include Martha Needle (1894), Alice Mitchell (1909) and Caroline Grylls (1953)
• Poisoners typically operate behind pleasant facades while harboring immature personalities determined to manipulate
• The "quiet ones" who blend into the background are often the most dangerous and effective killers
• Evidence suggests Erin may have been defending herself online before her arrest
