Mushroom Murderer Erin Patterson
Former Australian police detective Duncan McNab discusses the case of Erin Patterson, who poisoned her family members with a beef wellington spiked with death-cap mushrooms.
I've met some killers in my time, and some of them just view other people as an inconvenience, a trouble to be removed.
McNab notes that Patterson never expected anyone to survive the deadly lunch, particularly Ian Wilkinson. He believes Patterson had planned the case in detail but did not plan on being caught.
The case has garnered significant public interest, similar to other notorious serial killers in the US history, particularly in the Pacific Northwest in the 1970s.
