Forensic Files - Season 10, Episode 33 - Penchant for Poison - Full Episode

Leita died at the age of 93 in 2012...what an iron horse. The Norton sisters estate still sits in Texas to this day.

I just don't understand how people can take advantage of anyone but especially our seniors. We should always have their best interest at heart even when nothing is received in return. Knowing we've done right by people is a reward itself.

I study police culture. Texas Rangers may be the only department (shut down twice in late 19th and early 20th century for violence and corruption) that successfully reformed itself. Every other department had to be reformed by outside forces and it rarely holds. Texas Rangers are elite because they are very intelligent and ethical. It is also a small group , usually about 250 Rangers.

[@craigime]

[@Pippie5555]

Yes, how do you check if he is doing it right?

[@Tina06019]

I think that the test would need to be “truthed” with 100 samples from non-poisoned cremains before it could be trusted by the courts. Nonetheless, the fact that the deceased old man and his surviving widow had been poisoned would be strong supporting evidence.

[@CoCoGemel]

I'm sure they double checked the accuracy of the test with positive controls (with varying concentrations of arsenic) and negative controls to ensure that this is a qualified test to be used in the court of law. I highly doubt that they performed the test only once on the cremated remains and called it a day. After all, science is repetition and reproducibility.

Understood, but how else are they going to find new techniques but to try them? There are ways to verify before it's used in a court proceeding.
