EP 59: Poison Crimes


Listen Later

What happens when you microdose arsenic and belladonna cocktails as part of your healthy routine? Nothing good, you guessed it! Oh sorry, they were digestive tonics, you say? old-timey medicine was straight-up bonkers y'all! As we see in Alanna's case, not all poison crimes are crystal clear; Florence Maybrick was accused of killing her husband James, but it's complicated by toxic family and secrets and lies. Perhaps James held the secret to a very famous mystery as well... Kelsey balances cat-wrangling and spinning a wild tale for us all, a story of a family annihilated. The members of the Staudte family start dropping off one by one, but who is to blame? The answer is nightmare no one wants to consider could be true. Watch out for those pillars of the community! and learn when to shut the hell up!
