Hopefully he will be able to assist the police with their enquiries.
Where has it been said that they were pot pies? Link please.
I'm still keeping my mind open to all possibilities.
In terms of motive, what would E stand to gain? Also why would she need to gain anything, she's already got a lot!
Wouldn't there be someone else involved in all this who will stand to gain and could have benefited even more if E herself had been poisoned too?
Also in a few other sources too.![]()
Revealed: Suspected poisonous dish family ate at deadly lunch
The dish believed to be at the centre of the suspected poisoning which left three people dead and a fourth fighting for life in hospital has been revealed.www.skynews.com.au
Does logic need to be applied as to why someone chooses to kill? Why did that guy in Rockhampton murder his wife and newborn baby a few days ago? Most killers are psychopaths and are mentally unstable. This case isn't like the Lindy Chamberlain case or the Peter Falconio case. We know that 4 people went to Erin Patterson's home for lunch and now 3 of them are dead and one critical. Neither Erin or her kids ate the meal. She lied to police about buying the mushrooms at the local store. She is considered a suspect by the police.This has been a question of mine, since we did hear that she was in relatively strong financial shape.
She certainly has the opportunity and the means.
However, I am not totally convinced of motive.
I'm not saying she is innocent, just that its not 100% for me, as it appears to be with many.
I also wonder what made the husband suspect nightshade poisoning specifically?I wonder how her parents died. I also wonder if any other elderly paritioners have died unexpectedly and happened to have nobody but EP to leave their estates to??? For a woman reported to have been a ""surburban mum" she has certainly managed to accumulate a good amount of wealth. Did it really all come from her mother? Here is a link where the husband says he thinks she may have poisoned him with nightshade and recalls being unwell when he spent time with her.. Apparently he was sus about her poisoning him before this incident....(sorry if this link already posted)

A Source Close To The Ex-Husband At Centre Of Mushroom Poisoning Investigation Has Spoken Out
“There were times he had felt…a bit off and it often coincided when he spent time with her.”www.pedestrian.tv
Why would it be a crime if she disposed of a hydrator? Hydrators can’t be sent to the dump?If the victims had also eaten elsewhere together, I assume that information will come out soon. I think it's unlikely, since it hasn't, and since she was named a POI.
If it turns out she did dispose of her dehydrator, that's possibly a crime in itself.
This case has many puzzle pieces and I think in time they will all fit to the same puzzle. All JMO.
Right.Why would it be a crime if she disposed of a hydrator? Hydrators can’t be sent to the dump?
I like the “elicit drugs” concept.I also wonder what made the husband suspect nightshade poisoning specifically?
Nightshades contain solanines, which in high doses cause gastrointestinal symptoms as well as slow pulse, headaches, and fever. Now, if I experienced those symptoms, my first thought wouldn’t be nightshades. But if for some reason I suspected that I’d been poisoned, my first thought (until now) would be prescription medication or elicit drugs - not a poisonous plant. Therefore, SP’s mind jumping straight to nightshade poisoning suggests to me that perhaps EP has a known interest in or knowledge of plant poisons…?
Meaty-ish thing with pastry on top. For some reason, I thought it was a casserole with pastry on top, but you’re right, rolling it up seems to be correct. IMO I was mixing it up with steak and kidney pie.I see no mention of pot pies. All I see is the usual version of Beef Wellington baked as a roll.
This case keeps reminding me of the woman who gathered castor beans in the garden of her retirement home, created some kind of concoction, and fed the mixture to fellow residents. She even tried it out first on some residents to see if it would work. There was never any reason that to me sounded like a viable motive.Does logic need to be applied as to why someone chooses to kill?
