The Teapot on the Stone: How Thallium Silenced Diane Carlson

A ceramic teapot, still faintly warm, was found 43 feet from Diane Carlson’s back door on July 14, 2017 - nine days after she died. Her symptoms over months - weight loss of 9 pounds, hair loss, numbness and the sensation of wearing phantom gloves - pointed to chronic low-dose thallium poisoning; who put that teapot on the stone and why remains the question.

In this episode, we follow the timeline from routine afternoons of tea to a puzzling decline in health, the observations of her longtime physician, and the toxicology lead that unfolded after her death. How did a banned poison, a neighborly tea ritual, and a slow unraveling of symptoms converge to form a case a jury later decided?

Date: July 14, 2017
Person: Diane Carlson
Location: Fenwick Road, Aldine County
Age: 54
Physician: Dr. John Clark
