Show Notes

The mushroom murder trial captured the attention of the whole world. Erin Patterson, a seemingly ordinary mother from a small country town, foraged for death cap mushrooms before serving a laced beef Wellington to her relatives. Heather Wilkinson alongside Don and Gail Patterson were killed by the deadly lunch. Miraculously, Ian Wilkinson survived. 

From the mismatched plates and crocodile tears to the myriad of lies and months of planning, criminologist Xanthé Mallett breaks down every detail of the mushroom murder case.
