The Mug on Coldwater Ridge: How a Trail Cup Exposed an Arsenic Killer

A ceramic coffee mug sat upright on a rock six inches off the Coldwater Ridge hiking trail containing a saturated arsenic trioxide solution in distilled water - enough to kill a person. Seven months earlier a 78-year-old woman from a nearby 40-acre property had died with cardiac failure on her death certificate; why were these two facts connected?

In this episode, we follow the sequence of discoveries from a hiker’s call about an odd mug to lab confirmation and the medical and environmental records that linked people, a well, and contaminated water. How did routine medical visits, elevated arsenic blood levels, and a county well advisory converge into a hidden story revealed by a cup on a trail?
