i think the only reason to throw the dehydrater is if it was used to knowingly dehydrate dc mushrooms or maybe something illegal like opium poppy or cannabis? or it was broken?
Well, she didn't say it was broken. Just that she dumped it because she didn't want to lose custody of her children.
In the statement she admitted she had lied to investigators when she told them she had dumped it at the tip “a long time ago”, the ABC reports.
She said she was at the hospital with her children “discussing the food hydrator” when her estranged husband, Simon Patterson, asked: “Is that what you used to poison them?” Patterson said she had panicked and dumped the dehydrator at the tip, worried she might lose custody of her children.
