Forensic Team Investigate Potential Poisoning | The New Detectives | Real Responders

Forensic investigators question if an inordinately high rate of heart attacks in a respected hospital is masking something more sinister....
Forensic scientists work with a variety of methods (i.e. computer technology, anthropology, entomology) to solve crimes which would otherwise remain unsolved, through finding seemingly obscure clues such as tire tracks, bullet fragments and hair samples and then putting the pieces together. Interviews with forensic pathologists, cold case detectives and victims families show the process entailed in each case. Three separate cases are spotlighted in each episode of this series.

What this show leaves out is some of the extremely long hours spent by an FBI detective shopping dozens and dozens of stores in the D.C. area for a fish algaecide product that had ONLY those 4 ingredients in the exact same quantities in each crystal. So that took time. THEN they had to take a photo line up of many faces for the each clerk in stores that stocked the item they discovered it to be. ONCE they found the person who sold it to her, he said described their conversation and said specifically "I did tell her, as I tell all customers, it's best to crush it up because this product doesn't always dissolve well and then won't do the best job". So she bought the marble pill crusher to grind up those tablets because of that chat. THAT makes this story all that much more incredible... that they got so much detail from JUST the right person on the right day and time. Amazing.

Is that from Forensic Files?

Too many hospitals were suspicious of this but to avoid liability justgot rid of the employee and even gave recommendation for said employee for future employers. Outrageous !!

[@klattalexis]

Never allow anyone to put life insurance on you!!! In Canada, if someone puts life insurance on their spouse, they will phone the spouse to verify they had their permission. I know of a woman whose husband had asked that they both put life insurance on each other. The wife knowing of her husband's devious ways refused. However, when the life insurance company phoned her to confirm he had her permission, she was horrified & told them, NO! It was then she realized just how evil this man she married really was, after this & all her visits to the ER for food poisoning.

Stella had the nerve to petition for her release on compassionate grounds, in 2022. Due to her age, and poor health. Too bad, so sad. When she can figure out how to bring her victims back to life? Maybe.

When watching the segment on the female poisoner, I was wondering if she was a psychopath or sociopath. From her failed polygraph. It obvious that she’s a sociopath....psychopaths always “pass” polygraphs bc they are incapable of feeling fear, or guilt.

[@corwilliams3098]

I wonder why cindy nickell didn't go to police when bruce died. She didn't like stella that much anyway

[@alexisdiva9]

She probably thought she'd get a cut of the insurance $ but when it wasn't forthcoming and when the drug companies put up a reward for information was when she went to the FBI. Cindy never used the last name of Nickell but went by the last name of Hamilton at the time of the murders.

Being the owner of a redback spider and a detachable penis spider i agree with you I hear people say the same about snakes oh and in case your wondering why its called that its because in order to avoid being eaten by the female they actually rip off the sexual organ then shove it into the female while shes not looking and then run away 😂😂
