The Seamstress's Tea: How Foxglove Quietly Killed Her Clients

The smell of tea, a pincushion, and seven amber glass bottles sat on a kitchen table beside a woman who had been dead for at least two days - and the bottles were left untested for six weeks while her death was ruled cardiac failure. An 81-year-old client’s offhand mention of herbal tea and a hospital toxicology screen later revealed digitalis from foxglove; but how did those jars move through a close-knit seamstress clientele and go unnoticed until then?

In this episode, we follow the chain of events from the July 11, 2014 discovery of Kimberly Snyder’s body through the toxicology that linked foxglove to multiple cases, tracing the medical notes, the evidence timeline, and the people whose memories reopened the investigation. What exactly did the seven amber bottles contain, and who in Snyder’s circle received those herbal jars?

Person: Kimberly Snyder
Date: July 11, 2014
Location: Delacroix Street, Casterfield
Person: Dorothy Vance
Toxin: Digitalis (foxglove)

- Kimberly Snyder was thirty-two years old and found dead at her kitchen table with seven amber glass bottles arranged in a loose semicircle.
- The bottles remained untested in an evidence room for six weeks after Snyder’s death was ruled cardiac failure.
- Dr. Marcus Webb had seen Snyder three times in the eight months before her death and recorded low potassium in two visits without ordering a toxicology screen.
- Dorothy Vance, age eighty-one, presented in late August 2014 with severe abdominal cramping, vomiting, and a chaotic heart rate; her toxicology was positive for digitalis.
- Four of the seven amber bottles tested acutely toxic for Digitalis purpurea over a four-day lab processing period.
