概要
The Silver Chalice Left by the Rectory: Poison in Communion

A silver communion chalice was found upright in gravel outside St. Hedwig's rectory at 5:50 a.m., immaculate and smelling faintly chemical - and a woman named Lori Vaughn had died in ICU one hundred minutes earlier from acute liver failure with no history of disease. Investigators later found inorganic arsenic in both the chalice residue and in Lori's tissue and hair, raising a single urgent question: was this a one-time act or a pattern of poisoning?

In this episode, we trace the timeline from Lori Vaughn's daily routines and duties at St. Hedwig's through the discovery of financial discrepancies she reported to Father Russell Tillman, to her hospitalization and the forensic results that linked the chalice to her death - how many doses of arsenic were involved, and who knew what?

Person: Lori Vaughn
Date of death: March 14
Location: Grantley Regional Hospital ICU
Event: Silver communion chalice found beside rectory door
Toxicology result: Inorganic arsenic in chalice residue and in tissue
