概要
The Dry Paper: How a Cantonese Parcel Unmasked San Francisco's Poisoner

A dry paper parcel in a wet San Francisco alley exposed a quiet system of payments and a meticulously staged death that a coroner had called natural; why was Raymond Bailey found perfectly dry while everything around him was soaked? What did eleven small, regular payments to "Pacific Rim Dry Goods" and a Cantonese-wrapped package reveal about a man who never missed a Thursday dinner for eleven years?

In this episode, we follow the discovery, the early interviews, and the detail that changed the case from closed to criminal: the dry paper package, the ledger entries, and the detective who remembered a telltale sign from a previous poisoning. How did one photograph, a translated label, and a dealer’s denial open a path to the truth?
