About this episode

This episode examines the shocking events surrounding the Leongatha Mushroom Murders and the circumstances leading up to it.

In late July 2023 Erin Patterson invited her former in-laws to lunch at her home in Leongatha, Australia. This gesture of hospitality was framed as a chance for them all to reconnect. Instead, it became the center of a case that shocked the world. Over night all 4 lunch guests became desperately ill. Rumors began to fly immediately, and investigators began piecing together a chain of events that no one in this small community could have imagined. In this installment we will examine how this horrible event was able to occur and what lead up to it.
