概要
The Thermos in the Ditch: How Coffee Turned Deadly for Donna Morris

The discovery of a dark green vacuum thermos upright in a drainage ditch changed everything: it was labeled "D. MORRIS" and contained a colorless, odorless poison banned in the United States since 1972. Who placed that thermos behind the Greer County Human Services building, and why did Donna Morris drink from the same cup of coffee for weeks while her body accumulated a deadly toxin?

In this episode, we follow the timeline from Donna’s routine mornings and eleven-year career at the cafeteria to the moment she was found disoriented and losing hair in a hospital bed. We trace the chain of everyday habits-the labeled prep thermos, the personal travel mug, the familiar coworkers-and ask how an ordinary object became the pivot of a criminal case.

Date: March 11, 2019
Location: Drainage easement behind Greer County Human Services building, Pallister
Status: Admitted to Pallister Regional Medical Center, exhibiting hair loss and systemic poisoning

- Donna Morris was 44 years old in spring 2019 and had worked 11 years at the Greer County Human Services cafeteria.
- Donna left her apartment at 6:15 a.m. each workday and arrived at the cafeteria by 6:50 a.m.
- Mark Carter was 48 years old and brewed a separate, higher-quality batch of coffee for the prep staff kept in a vacuum thermos.
- The thermos found by Crystal Sanders on March 11, 2019 had a strip of masking tape with "D. MORRIS" written in blue marker.
- The poison found in Donna had been banned in the United States since 1972 and is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, able to dissolve into a cup of coffee without detection.
