Episode 9: Bitter Nemesis
Former Bendigo resident Max Miles comes forward to reveal that Ray McQueen asked him troubling questions about autopsy testing in the days immediately after Rosslyn's death.
Hedley and Karina delve into strychnine, the toxic farming poison that killed Rosslyn.
With help from experts like toxicologist Adjunct Professor Dimitri Gerostamoulos, and historical and modern poisoning accounts, they unpack how the "very nasty poison" can produce violent convulsions in someone who ingests it.
Because if Rosslyn died experiencing back-arching convulsions often caused by strychnine poisoning, is it likely that she would have ended up lying across the kitchen chair after her death? Police suspect she was placed there after she died. We talk to experts to tackle these questions.
