Some things just don't add up. If she bought these poisonous mushrooms from an Asian grocery, why is it that no one else has gotten sick from the products that are available for everyone else to purchase and consume

She’s allegedly a top rated/specialist forager and had dehydrated the mushrooms. But disposed of the dehydrater. Strange behavior of an innocent person.

Can’t wait to hear what the surviving pastor says about that dinner. I hope he fully recovers and can remember.

Erin Patterson says she bought the dehydrated mushrooms at an Asian shop, so if that's true, why would she need to get rid of her own dehydrator if it it hadn't been used for the mushrooms used in the meal?

Quick question. Why would you dehydrate the dry mushrooms. Isnt that dehydrator is to suck out all water from fresh fruits or vegetables? And the kids ate the same left over meals without the mushrooms. Wouldn’t that meal still have mushrooms spores or sauce mixed with the meal?

It's so funny the way she keeps wiping her 'tears' and looking at her dry fingers. Haha.

What struck me is that she was seemingly upset and going on about how the mum in law was like a mum to her...no tears though..reminds me of the Philpotts with their attempt at crying!

She did it. She hunts and dehydrated her mushrooms to keep them. She selects them and stores them to use. You dont do that with regular mushrooms you can just buy from the supermarket.

My own opinion, there are too many loopholes in her statement: 1) she could identify where she got the button mushroom but she can't identify which asian grocer she bought the deadcap mushroom..lol. 2) she's an expert mushroom forager, but cannot identify dead-cap mushroom. 3) she admitted to police she lied that she threw the dehydrator long time ago AFTER police had found the dehydrator. 4) she said she panicked after her husband said 'you killed my parents with the dehydrator' and then she discarded the dehydrator. if someone alleged you of doing something and you panicked, most likely that statement is true, else you will be laughing your ars-off. 5) she was admitted to hospital 2 days after the lunch. deadcap mushroom react within 6 to 12 hours. obviously she was trying to get public pity by eating some of the mushroom to feign sick. 6) she said she scrapped off the mushroom before serving it to her children. but traces of the deadly mushroom is enough to kill any kids.

She has changed her story many times. She also said she did not eat the meal and said her kids and her ate a different meal for lunch, then she said the kids were at the pictures and not at the lunch. These mushrooms are so toxic that scraping them off a Beef Wellington wouldn't be enough to stop a child from being poisoned in my humble opinion. She is also, according to the locals, a skilled mushroom forager. She lied about where she got the mushrooms; first they were from a local supermarket then from an Asian shop in Melbourne though she couldn't remember the name of the shop. Needless to say, death cap mushrooms are not for sale anywhere in Australia. Also, had she got them from either of these places why didn't other people get sick and die? All this has come from the police and not just armchair sleuths. BTW, her estranged husband was invited to lunch, but he pulled out at the last minute. The year prior, he had been put in an induced coma because he became ill from a mysterious illness after visiting his ex. Of course, they weren't looking for death cap toxicity at the time, so the pathologist didn't find it in his blood. The estranged husband has also claimed that he would always feel unwell after visiting Erin. I think the eminent professor isn't abreast of the situation as much as he likes to think, unlike people living in Australia. The dehydrator was the clincher.

That there has been no recall of fresh or dried mushrooms in Victoria is telling.

This is in my town, its very very busy with so much media

She is guilty as charged. No way Asian grocery store will sell the death cap mushroom, this is the biggest giveaway of the case.

Maybe she made two beef Wellington, one for the ex inlaws and one for her.

Lots of crying, yet no sign of tears on her face. You can't see it in this video as it was intentionally blurred but you can see it in others. My bet is that she is lying.

How long does it exactly take to test that hydrater !!

A point that is important to state is that she says she bought the mushrooms from a store and no one else has gotten sick nor has there been a recall. Its also interesting how she knew that it was the mushrooms that was the reason for poisonings so quickly.

Why did she name the wrong person who is in critical care in hospital. Surely you would know who lies in hospital needing a liver transplant.

She seems to be the only one left in her family at her young age ? I wonder how the others past away in the years thats gone by, have they tested the others in the ground just in case .

Someone should invent mushroom test strips, for foragers in the field. In the same vein as those rapid ph strips; turning a distinct, unmistakable color when they come in contact with deadly aminito toxins

guilty AF fake tearless crying

She didnt die after eatig the beef wellington, disposed of evidence (dehydrator), her children dont like mushrooms and scraped them out of the meal. When it comes to murder there is no such thing as coincedence. In my eyes she is guilty untill proven innocent. This woman is a monster and playing the victim card and acting all innocent. She knows what she did and i hope her inlaws will get justice one day.

Typical so called 'expert' missing out the most crucial part of the case. The ex husband is still recovering from a mystery stomach illness, which put him in intensive care last year, when he waa still living with her. He believes she poisoned him. Also, the 'expert' is wrong about her knowing he wouldn't be at the meal. He cancelled last minute, so she didn't know he would not be there in advance of her cooking the meal. Finally, he was wrong again about the food dehydrator. The police DO have it and confronted he after they found it. They were tipped off about it.

Erin Patterson is incurring the wrath of every Asian Grocer in Mount Waverley!

Also a painter has said that handed in to police, photos of a job he did at her previous home. He was called in to paint over graffiti about death of the grandparents and other such writings on an interior wall. He was so shocked that he took a photo of it. He handed that to the police after finding out about the poisonings .This information was posted on you tube tic-toc, by the painter, so it may not be correct/verified.

Check for life insurance names on policy

The poison from the mushrooms would still be there even if scraped off so seems like another lie . If it was a true beef Wellington the mushrooms are made into a paste ( a duxelles) so would make it even more impossible to scrape off.

Keep the kids away!!!! She should not have the kids with her at all until cleared.

This woman is an expert at foraging for mushrooms, she knows what the death cap looks like. If she dehydrated those mushrooms, she wouldn’t need to buy dried mushrooms from an Asian store 2hrs drive away! And 3 months ago! And now she conveniently can’t remember where the Asian store is that she purchased the dried mushrooms. Also Beef Wellington doesn’t even have exotic dried mushrooms in any recipe Ive ever seen. You only need button mushrooms to make that dish. Also I come from a farm in Australia and EVERYONE who grows up in Australia is taught not to EVER touch wild grown mushrooms because we know how dangerous they can be, so feeding them to other people for lunch is taking a massive unacceptable risk. These poisonings were deliberate, and I would say the husband is meant to be dead too, and her kids inherit all the husbands family money. My guess on motive. Also I think she cooked a poisonous beef Wellington and a good one for her and her kids.

She’s guilty. So many facts point to her guilt and all this just started.

If her story was remotely true then where are the other victims that would have bought the same mushrooms from the same store(s)?

She seemed to use the dehydrator on herself as she didn't have enough moisture to produce tears during the interview.

I love how the host keeps reminding the “expert” of the important facts… 😂

Don't let her try to sell her story to the media

The photo of the red mushroom shown is the Fly Agaric or Amanita Muscaria - red cap with white dots, white stem. The murder mushroom is Amanita Phalloides or the Death Cap which is creamy white and beige. The image is readily available online. Please don't be lazy, be accurate.

Dont know if you guys have heard I read one.of the victims told the paramedic something and the paramedic was so concerned they reported it to the police

Police are acting appropriately, to gather the evidence in order to charge and bring the case to trial.

why would you send the children to a movie when their grandparents are coming over.

She's guilty. There's no tears. She is just pretending to cry and keeps looking at her fingers to try and demonstrate there's tears there. I read energy and she is lying. Not to mention her sick husband? All her body language shows she is lying. This body 'expert' was lame.

I heard it was a beef Wellington pie which you can’t scrape off mushrooms - it wasn’t classic beef Wellington

Does anyone know what her parents died from?

You can't put the Genie back in the bottle,Yep, But you can smash the bottle!

Oddly, she looks fine herself. Aside of being "hurt" that people have "jumped to conclusions." 🤦🏻‍♀️

This show has had its day

She must be responsible 😢

"ABC reports she said her children ate lunch leftovers the next night but the mushrooms were scraped off the meal as they don't like them." BUT! That night of the dinner, the four adults were sick and dying. Why would you feed your kids the left overs the next night!? Also the deathcap mushroom is white. She stated the dehydrated mushrooms were from an Asian store a while back. But she often goes mushroom hunting. She dhydrates the special ones to keep them. Normal mushrooms, you would just eat.

shes so guilty 100% theres no way she can get away with this!

Ask the children if they had scraped the mushroom off the plate?

It can be done so easily and put in bulk foods. Keep your eyes open folks!

Did she think 4 people dying all at once wouldn't draw attention? Plus her estranged husband bowed out after he was expected

more lies can’t keep her story straight at all and lied to police and guilty of homicide

It would be good if they could have got it right and shown a pic of an actual deathcap (amanita phalloides) instead of showing a fly agaric (amanita muscaria).

She said recently she threw it away because her husband asked her if she used that to help poison his family he was invited to the meal but declined to go .

It's so blatantly obvious she has absolutely no morels and will forever be renowned as "The Shi-talky Poisoner".

Why would she need to dehydrate dried mushrooms?

Apparently her mother was a successful author and left many properties when they passed in 2019 - she is wealthy as a result

Revenge killing..kills ex husband’s parents because Ex doesn’t want her..

Cops are doing thier due diligence, however, we all know she is 100% guilty. No doubt about that.

But if the mushrooms were cooked with the meal even thou they didn't eat the mushrooms they would have still gotten sick.

Her X husband has stated he was very sick from her cooking a year ago. mmmmmm......and the "store bought" mushrooms she said. But also dehydrated them. NOPE... nobody else has been sick from those store bought mushrooms. She's clearly no expert at foraging.

Is that new guy an ex of philly Schofield? Gotta pay them off some how.😂😂

If she was my mother I would never talk to her again. She killed her children’s grandparents

(a) she has lied to the Police........(b) Parents of the estranged husband (c) she is afraid of losing custody of her children. (d) the Pastor and others involved had been trying to "reconcile" the estranged husband and the "Chef". (e) the children sent to the Cinema at the time thus not partaking of the meal. (f) There is no one alive to counter her speech. (g) she was a trained forager. (h) the Police have got the de-hydrator used. (i) Police still awaiting Toxicology reports.

Everyone who ate the meal is either dead or in hospital ...except her. They will make a movie about this: Misery 2

She is done. I hope there is some family LEFT to take them...

You can say whatever and act innocent but were there tears on her face? They are extremely hard to produce if you are faking.

Why put a picture of "Amanita Muscaria" which is not the mushroom in question?! Just bad journalism

Comments are open! I wont watch anything else unless comments are left open.

Wow, so she’s separated from her husband and the in-laws end up dead… I’m trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, but that’s sketchy.

That's a very different story to what I have heard on our news.

The red mushroom they show is a fly agaric its from the same family of mushrooms called the amanita family but not a death cap. Still poisonous though.

Make ye wonder if it's all been a plot of some kind to get rid of his parents and his aunty and her husband wonder if it's for insurance claims .🤔 I wonder whether her ex- husband might of known about it all ...thats why she's saying her ex-husband pulled out of the meal at the last minute or the day before so why did she carry on with the meal knowing her ex husband wasn't going to be there she could of canceled it ...makes one wonder if it was planned🤔 ..bet her ex husband is involved in it too ..something dodgy and more to this mushroom poisoning incident than meets the eye .....maybe im overthinking .. but I'm only speculating tho and this is just my opinion only .

Hmm, I’ve heard that maybe she just wanted to get them sick a little, and unintentionally overdone it? I don’t have opinion on this, but everyone is buzzing 😮

2:02 That isn't a death cap mushroom. That is an Amanita Muscaria mushroom, which isn't poisonous or deadly. The least they could do is show a picture of the mushroom that killed these poor people.

The shocking truth is that other people might do the same thing as what she did with death cap mushrooms 🍄

Police have to be able to do their job and solve cases.

2:02 that's not a Death Cap.

I was wondering if anyone else thought she may have been set up by her ex husband, he certainly had the opportunity, he was at her house regularly, did she tell him what she intended cooking, and he was supposed to be there but canceled at the last minute, I just don’t understand her motive, she’s well off and she wanted her husband back, he did not want her and what is his financial status, I’m guessing he would inherit from his parents and if this woman gets put away for murder he gets the kids, he also told the police he got sick after having a meal with her about a year ago but it is my understanding there was no definite cause of his illness, and this type of murder usually involves a motive,I just don’t see one for her, she wanted them to like her and possibly help her get back with her husband. I’d love to know if the police are looking at other possibilities.

She did it.

If I were to poison in this way, I would make a Beef Wellington, cut in half. One half with edible mushrooms and the other half poisonous. I would cover each open end with tin foil and bake on separate trays. I would serve the toxic slices to my target guests and get rid of the rest. I would serve myself the joining end slice of the non-toxic half and give my children slices from the same, but with mushrooms removed (as they dislike them). When providing a sample for the Police, it would clearly come from this half of the Beef Wellington also. Very simple!

Don't try to make sense of it, it's a liar who wanted to kill their in laws and thought ahead enough to try and cover it up, and absurd new stories from her are undoubtedly inbound

99% of the videos about this case had the comments turned off. This is the first one I've found that doesn't. This is very strange.

At least they leave the comments on not like every KZfaq Aussie news broadcaster.

At the particular moment that speaker says this is the edible mushroom, the picture on the display shows the most poisonous mushroom there is. Is that the coincidence or purposefully presentation.🍄

All the good murder mystery books, dramas, plays invariably when it's poisoning it's a woman's choice of weapon. Interestingly she's saying sshe spent a night in hospital because of eating the mushrooms so chances are she gave herself just enough to make her ill. Does seem to be all fingers pointing her direction

In Australia even the mushrooms will kill you!

I bet mushrooms growers around the world will see a drop in mushroom sales.

She did it

What is her motive? Anyone with half a brain would think they would be under investigation after people dying after she served a meal. Do people really think they will get away with crimes? The dump where she threw the dehydrator had cameras and so do most stores, markets, etc. I believe it’s difficult to get away with it for her. BUT if it was an accident the cops will have to try to find out.

she killed them on purpose

Wonder the reason why the husband never showed up for the lunch was afraid she might try again as he claimed she had numerous times in the past to poison him, so did he warn the others did they know what he claims she tried to poison him in the past? I find this whole story very strange,

She got the mushroom 3 months prior she ate them in July got sick and so instead of throwing them away she feds them to her ex inlaw's ...

Is she one of these people, who need to get attention/sympathy/empathy from people , via the death of a loved one, kinda a Munchausen by proxy, kinda thing.

Bottom line she did it and she gave that the boot ie the wellington. I hope she gets what she deserves, JAIL

Not sure why i would split from my partner then invite the partners family around for lunch? sorry but thats kinda strange RIP.

showing fly agaric while discussing death caps...

Im sure she knew that her children did not like musrooms. Why was the mushrooms dished for them.

Have they confirmed the husband was actually in intensive care?

She is guilty imo

She is guilty!!! Big time
