Discover how investigators exhumed her first husband, Michael Wallace, and found evidence that he had also died from antifreeze poisoning, while her daughter Ashley survived a separate poisoning attempt. Also examine the forensic evidence, the fabricated suicide note intended to implicate Ashley and the 2009 conviction that earned Castor more than 51 years in prison.

Level 9 · 3 days agoShe literally typed 'antifree' four times and still said it out loud in the interrogation room. At some point that's not a slip, that's your brain filing a confession on your behalf.

Level 7 · 3 days agoCalcium oxalate crystals from ethylene glycol poisoning can absolutely persist in tissue for years. Forensic toxicology confirmed this in multiple exhumation cases before Castor.

Level 8 · 3 days agoCalcium oxalate crystals don't lie. That's textbook ethylene glycol poisoning confirmed.
