概要
He Dosed the Sugar Bowl: How a Caretaker Weaponized Meals

The smell of metal and a grayish-white crystalline powder in a faded blue-rooster sugar bowl led a parish minister to call 9-1-1 and start an investigation that would uncover a deliberate pattern of poisoning tied to shared meals. Arsenic in hair and bone, fourteen meal trays to one resident before death, and unexplained hospitalizations later pointed to a system rather than a single incident-who was putting poison into the food, and why?

In this episode, we follow the timeline from the October 14, 2009 emergency call to the hospital admission and the subsequent forensic findings, tracing how routine meal service at a six-resident boarding house became the vehicle for harm. What the sugar bowl revealed about Mapleton House and the people who lived and worked there drives the questions we unpack.

Date: October 14, 2009
Location: Mapleton House, Kellerton, Indiana
