Marsha Allen concocted a plan to poison her husband alongside her daughter, Ashley Jones, in 2022 using a root beer float and antifreeze… When the victim, Harold Allen, was pronounced dead, authorities didn’t suspect any foul play. It was only when Marsha’s home was burglarized 9 months later that the truth finally came out. Why did Marsha and Ashley do it? How many times did they try to poison him before they were successful? Was this Ashley’s first murder?! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
