    New mushroom theory.

    The ex-husband did it and set up his ex-wife. He has most to gain. She had nothing to gain.

      Nah I reckon she tried to off the husband and in laws for inheritance purposes. Plus they were probably interfering busy bodies. The meal apparently was a beef Wellington. Who doesn’t love a beef Wellington?

        How would she inherit anything? They are divorced.

          They are separated. She doesn’t want to go halvies in the house. Kill him, kill the in laws. The house is all hers.

            I’m loving these juicy theories. I don’t know that much but I know if the cops are willing to put this out in the public then they’re most likely onto something. I was really curious why the food dyhydrator was seized. So what if they find traces of those mushrooms if she claims she “didn’t know”? I must be missing something here.

              Not sure where the dehydrator comes in only that it was discarded the day after the poisonings.

                Yeah I feel like unless there’s other evidence to suggest she planned to murder them or stand to gain from their deaths it’s all circumstantial or manslaughter at best. It’s a tricky one because it’s very hard to prove what someone knows or doesn’t know. I mean this wasn’t sleeping pills or rat poison.

          if they’re all dead her children would inherit everything and she’d get to spend it
