Erin Patterson: The Mushroom Murderer
Former Australian police detective Duncan McNab shares his insights on Erin Patterson, who poisoned her family members with death-cap mushrooms in a Beef Wellington lunch.
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 any of her victims to survive, particularly Ian Wilkinson. He believes that Patterson had planned the crime in detail but did not anticipate being caught.
The case of Erin Patterson is one of the most notable in recent history, drawing significant public interest. The Pacific Northwest, where the crime took place, was also home to other notorious serial killers in the 1970s.
