Erin Patterson was desperate to get back with her husband, so desperate that family had to stage an intervention during lunch. However, after that lunch four of the attendees got sick, and three never recovered. Was it planned or a horrible accident?

ASHLING MURPHY
RAYCONS ARE A SCAM
Can you do a Silk Road video? I wanna learn about it but I simply refuse to listen to anyone else 😂
I live in Melbourne, so I'm going to go to that trial. 😊
Raycon- it’s a ‘radiation con’.
Ear buds that put more radiation in your ear, closer to your brain, than wired earphones. I’ll stick with my wired thanks.
When this story first broke here in Australia, before she was even a suspect, my husband & I both said, "I hope Mike's taking notes. This isn't an accident"😂
@@VBanks84it's a particularly obvious murder and murder attempt, silly
@@VBanks84We all knew she was lying 😂
that's so harsh. lighten up darlin, - just here for fun - right?@@VBanks84
Came here to say the same thing! I’m from the same state as her and it never appeared like a mistake to me either!
Seriously that's awesome
“She foraged around, and found out”😂😂😂 that was hilarious
Right up there with Mike's classic: "No diggity, no doubt" 😂 👏
I laughed out loud and scared my dogs 🤣 I'm watching this at midnight with everyone else asleep!
I read that she tried to pass off the disturbing drawings on her walls as the work of her children, but an expert examined them and said she drew them. This lady is NUTS.
Absolutely!!! First class sicko
Nuts ...more like shrooms 😂....shit that doesn't work
What's the expert's name?
I feel that this is a bad insult to nuts. (Both the food and nutty people) She’s far beyond nuts…. 🥴😟😢
😮😮
I didn’t know that she was a former air traffic controller. That makes me look at her a lot differently. Whether by accident or design, in all the footage I’ve seen of her she seems to be presenting herself as a muddle-headed, confused and emotional woman, not necessarily very bright. I thought she was guilty before, but now I know how smart she is, it makes her seem much more calculating and callous. And the fact that she is an extremely experienced forager, yet insists that she bought the mushrooms from an Asian shop she can’t remember…? Nope, not buying it.
Agree! To me the best evidence against her is her being an experienced forager...you don't have to be that experienced either to know what mushrooms to stay away from. And NOBODY is going to be selling them at their stores. She's a complete wackadoodle!
I've always been told not to eat wild mushrooms unless you are very experienced and absolutely sure. An experienced mushroom hunter is going to recognize a death cap. And I seriously doubt that they came from any store. Especially with her having thrown out her food dehydrator.
Yeah, I recon! Great point btw 👏
@@NotSoNormal1987there's a pretty well known story of a college professor taking his students out foraging to show them how dangerous picking the wrong mushroom is, as some edible species have near lookalike fatal species. They came across one such species and he mistook it for an edible one, and prompt died of liver failure.
That's a really good point and I feel the same after learning after worked in ATC, she's WAY smarter than she's presented herself to be.
“And she was a fan of true crime! Hi Erin!…Wait…” - Best line and your puns were great Mike!
No YT in Prison tho so Erin ain’t seeing it😂
With almost 2 million subscribers there certainly has to be at least one that ends up being a murderer... 🥸
@@sarahlauer4397 Probably a little smarter at ATTEMPTING to get away with it.
Remember,there were 5 invited for that meal.
Seems Erin was unravelling by her writings
Always on time with the PUNS..

I'd like to add that when someone purchases mushrooms from a store, the mushrooms were NOT foraged from the wild. They are grown in large facilities where they're cultivated in huge quantities, from very specific spores, under close observation!
To put it simply, there's no way in hell she purchased Death caps from a store.
💯
Ya not possible lol
Mushrooms are tricky to identify in the wild but you just don't touch them if you're not 100% confident of what they are. If the deathcaps had come from the supermarket I'm not convinced they would have been cooked. You have say a load of chestnut Mushrooms and one looks totally different, you'd throw it away.
Where do they grow cupcakes?
@@brianallison1913Now that one really does come from the wild… They grow on evergreen bushes
Every time she wiped those nonexistent tears from her eyes, she actually inspected her own fingers to see if they were wet. What a weird lady.
My condolences to her ex-husband and his family for their terrible losses and suffering.
That annoyed the mess out of me.
looked ilke she was gouging her own eyes trying to get them to water and look red... haha
Usually, your face turns red with splotchy when you're crying .....ehh not buying it lady
Then looked to see if anyone noticed. My sister would do that shit when she would blame me for stuff and just cry to get out of trouble.
I don't claim to be a human lie detector. But because I knew the truth. I would look at her and picked up on these things as "Tells" when a female was crying to throw off a lie or to get sympathy.
Guys sometimes do it but it's probably heavily in favour of women due to fathers having physical responses to the sound of their daughters crying. But less often, the sound of their son crying.
It's different now but parents used to punish sons for crying and "Showing weakness" so we had to learn other ways to confront Lies.
So when a guy is pretending to be upset at an accusation we will get aggressive and often violent instead of crying.(This is especially true if they didn't actually do it)
So yeah there is exceptions to this but I have a really good eye for this exact kind of lying technique.
And it makes perfect sense she was rich. Could probs cry and get her way. She herself talked about her dad as a being like a "Doormat" and she very likely thought that she was good at lying, rather than her dad was being controlled by parental instinct.
Even most women who aren't lying will get pissed off at accusations. Not cry. Only bad liars will go the sooky lah lah route
She shoulda brought a tiny slice of onion in her pocket and been playing with it... Then when she needed to fake some emotion, pinch the corner of both eyes near the nose. Onion juice will go in the eye and bam... Human emotions.
Rookie move!
Crying her eyes out with no tears over the loss of a guy who's not dead. Wow.
She tried to kill
Him 4 x and did kill his family
What a nut bar
Glad you covered this. As an Aussie, this was huge over here, and we all knew she did it.
It's horrible.poor things😢
You know we have a lot of evil going on here in the USA. It seems to be all over the world
You know I believe we are in the last days . And it's like satans been turned loose on us all. Stay safe down there
Love from Virginia
@lindaarrington9397 um... Satan has only ever killed 4 people with instruction from "god". Do not fear Satan... fear the so called God you follow.
@@lindaarrington9397lol wow you sound pathetic 😂😂
@@Metal_Medusano thx.
"She foraged around and found out"😂😂 my favorite line in this ole one❤🎉
👍
😂🤣🤣
It always amazes me how someone can cry without producing even one tear. Truly astonishing.
americans seem to be real experts in yhis i have noticed guess she watched enough usa tv haha
When l cry, it's really ugly. Tears like rain, red eyes, red nose that runs constantly.
@@despinacharalambous1728 😅 the runny nose is a big clue to the tears being real 😉
I came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed she was fake crying. Not very good in my opinion though! 🙄
@@aishalea7508when I went to reply on this comment I had no idea I’d be redirected replying to your comment. I can care less if my country has fake cryers? Are we talking about reality television where it’s all fake. Can’t watch the Kardasian idiots and make an assumption about a whole country based on them 😂
So please. Backup that statement because I’d love to know your take on the comment.
There wasn't one tear coming from her face and she side stepped every time she was asked about the meal she prepared.
People are just awful these days, you can't trust anyone!
That and everytime she said they were some of the best people she ever met, she would shake her head. She might be hella smart but her body language was speaking volumes.
These days? People have been people for as long as people have existed. Murder rape theft happen throughout every year every century.
Take the good with the good and take the bad with the bad
Sounds like you need to step away from the murder docs for a while. They're giving you an unrealistic outlook on humanity. We are living in the safest period of human history - don't let the news and your own warped tastes fool you.
I always look at it as if you have to cry then don't pretend 😢😊
@@ZiggzMcGeeexactly, people always want to act like their was a time people were never awful, like their times were better.
Fun fact: an antidote for death cap mushrooms was just discovered in 2023. It's an unsuspecting green dye called Indocyanine.
good to know 🙂🙂
Have u tried it yet?
I used to work as a mycologist, and didn't hear of this. But, checking it out, looks good. The caveat has to be: hasn't been attempted yet, much less in humans.
Because the way ananita toxins affect the body, I worry this cure (which blocks the action of a protein) may usually be sought out too late. Yet, if rather have a tool to fight the toxicity than nothing.
Study was also only on alpha-amantilin, which is the most deadly of the amatoxins, but, most seem to work in a similar way, and it could workb on all, yet the study was confined to looking for a blocker of alpha-amanitin.
Anyway, thanks for the info.
Thanks for this info. I had no idea. I wonder if they treated the man who survived this with it? I do know he was very fortunate because he ended up @ a hospital that kind of specialized in treating poison cases. One other thing...I heard that death cap mushrooms actually turn the liver into mush during the poisoning. I guess that's why that guy had a liver transplant. He was very lucky a good liver was found for him.
With the global recognition of this case I’d be very surprised if they didn’t consider it for the Patterson victims
As an Aussie, I want to thank you for covering this. It is still such a big developing story, and I am happy that Mike here is giving it the attention it deserves.
Same (WA🇦🇺)

This is definitely getting some international attention; I followed it as closely as possible here in the States. My concern is around a jury finding her guilty beyond a reasonable doubt; even with her knowledge and experience, I fear that, without her confession, deadly intent may be difficult to prove in a court of law. For example, once I baked a triple batch of chocolate chip cookies, mistakenly replacing sugar with salt. Worst cookies ever. (I do think she’s guilty; and I hand it to Australia for always seeming to add a bizarre element to such crimes.)
P.S. I recall Dr Todd Grande had released an informative video about this shortly after it hit news internationally.
Have you watched any of Disturbans' uploads yet? He covers a lot of Australian crimes..
I was taught by the victims at school. It was absolutely devastating. I remember when the story broke, and news reporters were harassing everyone in town. All of a sudden we weren't just gateway to prom country, and it's still a raw subject to many. Rest easy Don, Gail and Heather, and may Ian have peace and privacy moving forward. I remember Erin coming into work, still such a shock.
She was literally checking her eyes when she was "crying" to see if any tears were coming out.
Repeatedly!
and the covering her face when she realised there were no tears no matter how hard she pressed her eyes
I saw that. 😮
It is so telling when a suspect is sobbing yet there are zero tears. Those poor victims. Thanks for the captivating story, Mike. And best wishes for a very Happy Birthday! 🎂🍺 Have fun celebrating!💕
And to think that even though they were against her husband staying with her, they thought enough of her to show up for a lunch. Talk about vile treachery!
Here in Australia when this story broke and she was on the news the first thing I thought was "ummm there's no tears... won't be long until mike covers this one" lol
Her fake quivering voice😂 cracks me up. She reminds me of Alex Murdaugh fakin.😢
Sign of a psychopath...although I always thought they were better actors..
Exactly what I was thinking, so hard to force emotions, just looks so fake when anyone like this trys to pretend their devastated.
There's a 4-time widow who used to live in my town who is known to be very good at mushroom foraging. Sadly, her first husband died of eating poison mushrooms. Her second husband, a very wealthy and kind man, died of eating poison mushrooms. Her third husband, kind of a fun playboy, also died of eating poison mushrooms. Her fourth husband, a biology professor at a nearby university also tragically died about 5 months after they were married.

@@rudra62a stupid joke
😂😂😂😂😂
Well done!
As a person who's Asian, it really pisses me off to no end that the monster blamed an "Asian supermarket" for stocking death cap mushrooms, even though NO Asian supermarket would EVER make the mistake of foraging, packing, stocking, and selling *death cap* mushrooms!
Even in the hypothetical scenario where someone DID pick a death cap, someone ELSE would quickly notice it and discard it immediately. There's a ton of ppl involved in the process of the foraging, packaging, stocking, and selling of mushrooms along with all other produce, and the chances of her finding and picking packaged+labelled death caps from the store shelf of an Asian supermarket is extremely low if not impossible.
And on top of that, in recent time, there was a high increase in hate crimes and discrimination against Asian ppl during the pandemic, and singling out a local Asian supermarket with her awful lie had the potential to actually negatively affect if not tank Asian stores' businesses. Thankfully, most ppl saw through her BS and didn't buy her lie, but still....
She didn't say the "bad" mushrooms were from an Asian store exclusively. She also mentioned ones she allegedly bought at a non-Asian store. Regardless, I think she foraged for those mushrooms and didn't buy them.
Don't worry we don't believe her. Not even a little. It was a crappy deflection tactic.
As a Black person I can totally relate to killers blaming us for their crimes. Racists...
@@El_Ophelia Ahhhh, my mistake! While it is true that she didn't exclusively blame an Asian supermarket, the lie was still shitty and ppl, if they believed her lie, could've also then make the conclusion that the death cap mushrooms more likely came from the Asian supermarket and the lie still had the potential to cause fearmongering+negatively affect Asian supermarkets in the country. And yeah, it is my belief that she did get the death caps from either foraging them herself, or from a black market (I'm leaning more towards the former)
Yikes. Take a breath. Hope you recovered from that horrible trauma!!
I'm not much of a cook, but I do know that Beef Wellington is a major culinary undertaking (absolutely no ghoulish pun intended). So this cow had many hours to contemplate what she was doing.

Been reading about this one. Thanks for covering it! What a way to ruin food for everyone, lady.
Thanks for watching it!
Same here...
As I have a "bunny boiler" as an ex-wife. I still have trouble with my left arm & shoulder thanks to being assaulted with an aluminum baseball bat for refusing to sign my house over to her and my VW Westy over to her brother. Of course the Ann Arbor Police threatened to arrest me when I reported her crimes, because as a Halfbreed, I "must have done something to cause her to do that". Nope, as Sandy's ex describe a similar attempt to get him to sign over his house to her...
@@davidhollenshead4892Dude, I hope you are better off now.
I don't want to ever try Beef Wellington after this and have hesitated to cook food for people ever since this happened
ugh...right...
As a long time fan, I like that you brought back describing the city and setting in more detail at the beginning. Love ya Mike!
One of my favorite parts, sets the scene so well
I lived in Leongatha when I was 18. I can’t believe it’s now on the map for the mushroom murders. Absolutely crazy. Thanks for covering the story, Mike!
I grew up there- no one can pronounce it for some reason?! Also- this woman isn’t from leongatha at all- she’s not even from korumburra. She’s a blow in.
So I don’t think too many locals are claiming it as leongatha crime. Think she’s only been there a few years.
Ps for people wondering it’s not Leongahhhhtha
To be fair- when she was editing the local newsletter it was in Korumburra where there are a LOT of illiterate bastards lol
@@ozzietad666 oooh now that you point it out, that makes sense about her not being a local in town. The (ex) husband is from Korumburra though, yeah? It may just be easier to point out Leongatha on a map than Korumburra.
This story is all around bizarre, especially since she had so many attempts to off her ex husband. Poor guy.
Can we take a moment for Mike calling it “a Sheila of a small town” 😂😂
As an Australian and an avid That Chapter watcher, I’ve been waiting for you to cover Erin Patterson!! I don’t think anyone here in Australia bought her story for a second 😂
In fairness, y'all also didn't believe the "a dingo ate my baby" story and a dingo did in fact eat her baby, so...
I am Australian. I know plenty of Australians, including myself who say: "Let the courts decide her guilt. "
Many of us recall how so many people thought Linda Chamberlain was guilty and said countless cruel things about her. Only to find out later that she was innocent.
Fellow Aussie here and I agree
She was allways a but sus
No way your skin is really that perfect is it??? Gata b a filter???
@@bryandungee1029 no filter, just a magical thing called *makeup* 😂 my skin is thankfully pretty smooth though.
Aussie here! So excited to see you cover this story, Mike.
I remember early on questioning her story, I just could not believe that you could buy death cap mushrooms at your local Asian grocery store. As if!?
I do wonder if she actually went to the hospital though... pretending she had diarrhoea & vomiting 😆 What a psycho...
What a horrible way to die, suffering from days of gastro symptoms, then liver and kidney failure ☹️ Those poor victims.
Strange there wasn't an immediate recall of the mushrooms she brought
@@jersmont1309
Apparently, she said she couldn't remember where she bought them, so the police made a check on all stores selling them.
So much pain in one family, I expect the man who survived is overwhelmed with grief, and her poor ex husband, he's lost both his parents and aunt.
statements/hospital records would show if she attended. i wonder if hospital staff smelled some nasty evil exuding from her
You're inching ever closer to 2 million subscribers. Been with you for years, Mike, and when you hit that 2 million mark, we're all going to be cheering.

Why change the spellings of words, what's the point. At least that's the way I see it.
@@paulanthony5274 Well, actually I was just kidding. I'm the writer and if "humor" is spelled that way where I live, I really don't care how it's spelled elsewhere.

He said that just as I read this.
The Midsomer Murders comment made me laugh...my husband is obsessed with that show. They actually had a story where someone died painfully from a deathcap mushroom.
13:20 The part is exactly like something that a character in Midsomer Murders would do.

Very informational. & always a comedic pun, which is always funny & makes me laugh. I’ve also been watching for a handful of years now & Im proud of you & can’t wait for what’s in store for you! Keep killing it 😉💕
I don't see any tears from her eyes when she talked with news reporters. When someone fakes crying, she becomes instantly suspicious.
Do they not have polygraph machine in Australia?
Never munch on a hunch. I haven't watched all the way yet but I can confirm as a mushroom forager that something as serious as a death cap is something we ALL know looks like, and always drill into our heads any time we come across anything edible to check every possible thing about the mushroom just to confirm it with 100% accuracy.
A forager absolutely knows what mushroom they've picked.
I disagree. I'm a biologist and forager myself. I know for a fact there are at least 4 separate species of edible mushroom in her area that are identical to death caps. Even advanced foragers can easily mistake one for another. Spore prints won't help you.
And of course the ex would accuse her of this, he's her ex and his parents were the victims. I understand his anger completely, but I still don't think she did this on purpose.
@WobblesandBean thats the thing- Even if theres any doubt that it could possibly be death caps no one's going to risk that shit! Unless you can say with absolute certainty what mushroom it is you have, you don't eat it! Either it was intentional, or shes EXCEPTIONALLY foolish
@WobblesandBean so why did she eat it, and not get sick, let alone die???
she did not touch it
also, were her previous attempts to kill her husband also accidents???
@@WobblesandBeansorry but you can't mistaken death cap, it has unique characteristics. If I know this, that I'm not a forager, I'm sure any forager does as well. She's very much alive, why didn't she eat with them? I don't buy this at all.
@@WobblesandBeanbeen foraging for years in Victoria, there’s about 3-4 look alikes like you said, however only one of them is ‘edible’, being psychoactive. Either she was trying to kill them, picked a mushroom in her back yard because she’s not that smart, or was trying to drug them. Literally no way she was trying to pick an edible mushroom for a wellington, you wouldn’t be looking for anything that looks like a death cap around here
"Looks like she foraged around and found out" 🤣 That was a good one.
She was an expert forager, there was no mistake with the mushrooms. I live in Victoria and it's very easy to identify them they turn yellow on touch
They are also one of, maybe (the most) highly poisonous mushroom on the planet. Anyone who is studying mushrooms, will know this famous mushroom, close to their first day of study. We learn *STAY-AWAY* !! It is not only extremely deadly, at very low dose, but by the time you feel symptoms, days later, it's too late to stop it. And we are so careful about this mushroom, not only for the near certain death, but the death that it brings, is most certainly a gruesome, and painful one, as it slowly liquefies its victim's organs, from the inside out. She knew very well what she had. No question about that.
Hey Mike, do you think you would ever consider doing an episode about a wrongful conviction that was later exonerated as a true crime story? There are a ton out there and are fascinating and heart wrenching stories. Keep up the good work though!
That would be neat. I’d watch that. Although I’d watch this guy read the dictionary lol
There's 2 that come to mine. The BLK guy who spent 36 years inside 30 of which was on death row. Execution warrant signed 3 times.. was innocent the whole time.
Another BLK dude over 30 years in prison innocent the whole time . Takes a young white university law student to get him set free and cleared.
Or that white dude 44 years in prison innocent the whole time. But because of the state he lives in. No compensation for wrongly convicted prisoners. All 3 are American cases.
@@DavidBalfour-il9rl I mean all the ones I know are American but I’m sure every country has done it. But the first one I know about is William Marion convicted of killing his friend Cameron only for Cameron to show up later after his execution
All of the cases I’ve seen would be funny if it wasn’t so tragic, some people (prosecutors and cops) can be so blinded by their view of justice that they get the wrong guy
“She foraged around and found out”
This is it Mike.. your secret ingredient. Luv all your work ❤
And “She’s not leaving mushroom for doubt” ❤

‘She foraged around and found out’ is one of the best lines of the year. Well played sir.

Thank you so much!
I've watched from the beginning and it's brilliant to see how far Mike has come. I'm even getting used to him without his glasses 🕶 lol
@@ThatChapter I think that you are jumping the gun in this case, as it appears likely that she intentionally poisoned them, but until the prosecution states their case, we don't know. I would guess that it is 80% to 90% likely that it was intentional poisoning, but we just don't know...
@@sassycat6468honestly 😂
Almost didn't notice he wasn't wearing them
It amazes me how people just ignore direct questions that they don’t want to answer. They just pretend the question didn’t exist. There is a person in my life who does this and it baffles me every time.
No one is obliged to answer journalists' questions. It's better not to, most of the time.
As an Aussie, I knew exactly who this would be talking about by the thumbnail alone 😅 Her face was everywhere and the media did not portray her kindly.
She wasn't kind.
Yeah, and because of that they might not be able to do a fair trial and throw the case out.
I only know about the case from another true crime channel but obviously Mike's narration is the best.
My favourite storyteller ever
You're too kind!
TRUTH!!!
Gutta love when the suspect pretends to cry, but can’t produce any tears
Cheers Mike, I've never mentioned this but I find it amazing that you get the audio call recordings and go so into dept with video clips , editing and sound work.
Love ya!
Seeing Erin in the news interviews reminds me of when Chris Watts did the news interview; body language is just so telling: the shaking of the head when saying "they were the best people I knew", the fake crying, the looking up at the sky when lying . . .
YUP,… No tears, but she sure keeps checking her wiped hands for the camera 😆
Not one tear, smh.
Agree. Was thinking the same. Zero tears too.
Did you watch the Body Language Panel breakdown of her? If you haven't, you should. They tore her ass up in their breakdown of her. Also, I love those 4 guys about as much as I love Mike. They're the best..really good @ what they do.
@@Corinne-v9c I did see it. While they were careful with their language it was clear where they stood on the case. I tried hard to give her the benefit of the doubt but the more one finds out about her, the more correct they are.
Foraged around and found out! Love it! I never found Erin to be sincere and had been waiting for her arrest.
I feel for the ex-husband and particularly the innocent kids in all of this. Not to mention those who had their lives cut short or forever changed by her callous actions. She seems like a real head case to me. I’m glad the ex husband, Simon is still around for their children. He’s had to go through a lot and a lot more to come. Erin, seems to have a lot of rage inside of her and obvious mother issues. I’ll never be able to visit my parents 20 minutes down the road from Leongatha and drive through there and Koorumburra without thinking of all of them. Whether it be for greed or revenge, it’s just so sad that she had to take it that far.
I think because she picked such an unusual poison,she expected to get away with it-but she DID take some of that toxic meal WITH HER to the Hospital-to make sure SHE got the right treatment!
She’s one of our most malicious kind of killer-they had to have suffered terribly before death.
The ex husband was lucky he said no to the dinner for sure
@@LovelyLass-nb8op He survived her poisoning attempts 4-ish times too, makes me wonder if he pondered he'd only get sick again if he turned up.
MIKE! How can I LAUGH during such a tragic story?! You are so awesome. So great to see your success, mate.
I have been trying to watch funny videos due to certain life events (always have been interested in these stories) but you have such a pleasant voice and I enjoy watching your channel. You tell them in such a meaningful way with sympathy and truth
Watching a day late but watching nonetheless! My dear uncle Jack passed away this past Sunday so it’s been chaotic in my little world but happy to catch up with one of my favorite guys and community. Much love to all ❤
That makes me sad. Hope you are ok. Big hugs to you and your family. Stay strong and safe ❤
@@perleperle6444 bless you for your compassion. I appreciate it so much. I’m doing okay but I would appreciate any good vibes or prayers you could send to my aunt and cousins. My uncle Jack was a great man and the world is definitely a little dimmer with him gone but I know he’s at peace now ❤️
Sending you my condolences. May he rest in peace.
Thanks for covering this case, Mike. This is in my home town, and such a wild tale! ❤
Been watching you for years and I always love when you do us aussies!
My mum grew was born and raised in Leongatha and still got family there, country towns may seem quiet but are so hectic and toxic. Thank you for covering this
Love your stuff 💕💕
Wiping away fake tears is one of the most obvious things a guilty person can do.
"Mushies Maaatee! a big hearty laugh from this Australian🤣😂
Pure horror. The cruelty of people is shocking. Thanks, Mike!
I love this guy. His voice is unforgettable. His ability to tell stories is awesome
I think I’m regards to determining actual motive, it’s important to determine exactly WHEN her husband backed out of the lunch… If her plan really was to try to win the whole gang back and, say, her husband backed out the night before and she went to forage for mushrooms the following morning, then I’d definitely bet that the “poisoning” plan was a spur of the moment sort of thing…
She realized the most important person had no interest in being there, so maybe in a fit of rage, a “win back my family” lunch becomes a “ruin his life” lunch.
She had to have picked them months beforehand as Death Cap mushroom season is in Autumn, and this happened mid Winter. It was calculated, not spur of the moment.
I can't see how she is not guilty. Just too much against her. Those kids are going to need a lot of help.
Agree!
At least they still have their father.
Yer I know. I am curious as to what her defence says.
Been watching Mike for years, this is the first time (in my recollection) that he's covered a case an hour's drive from home and an area we know rather well - it's weirdly exciting as if we've been granted a right of passage. Gippsland is actually a very pretty area which produces some excellent cheese. 💕🇦🇺
"She was going to win him back by... making him a killer lunch..." Mike!!! Happy Birthday Mike, stay safe and well.
Thank you, Mike. This is one of the best ones you’ve done. I really appreciate that you concentrate on the victims as much as you do.
also mike your cadence and incredible performative passion in your videos is captivating dawg. Always about the facts but still give credence to other theories which is professional as hell when reviewing this kind of stuff. You are a legend and really talented at what you do so thank you and wish you the best brethren
In hospital, the menu for one of the recovering victims, included a mushroom dish!! The family were horrified.
Heh, oops!
😂
the family is probably done with mushrooms.
Mike, you’re by far the best, and most consistent true crime TH-camr. Really happy for you with how much the channel has grown. You deserve it.
TOPS!!!! Mikey is KING🤴
A lot of people were baffled when she wasn’t charged straight away but the police were just just getting all the evidence together. Forensic testing for poisoning can take time. If they charged her to early then the legal clock starts ticking and it all has to be done in certain time frames as all defendants have a right to a “prompt trial”. Thanks Mike from another long time Aussie fan 🇦🇺
Mike is an absolute UNIT of a storyteller!!
Absolutely 👍👍👍👍👍
he is SO funny with dramatic facial expressions
He is the GOAT!🐐
OmG - I never use that acronym, but I just got caught up in the spirit of your comment.
(I realize that UNIT isn't an acronym. Someone called me a stupid cow in the last video and I'm in no moo-d to be insulted again. The weird thing is, all I said was that I liked Mike's shirt. 🤔)
@annika_panicka Cause of wonderment; champion of winning, change of wardrobe...they're all acronyms if you put your mind to it.
@@valerielevasseur8674 Lol! You make a good point and how did you know... I _am_ a Changer of Wardrobe (costumer/dresser) for real (and possibly a Cause of Wonderment), so when I first saw your message I thought we were acquainted. Anyhoo, this nasty chick called me a "moo" (Mistress of Origami?) and said something like "Mike puts a ring in your nose and leads you around" all because I said I liked his shirt. And if she thinks it's so lame to enjoy this channel (and Mike's garments), why is she watching? I invited her to see the "TC" brand on my rear end. 😉
Been a fan for many years since the early days, I love binge watching these. Gotta stay safe out here
G’day, this is my state, Victoria. On a side note, Mushroom sales have dropped dramatically since this happened 😂.Cheers Mike for covering this. Cheers Terri@thelake xxxx 🇦🇺
.
Yeah we do not live in Austrailia and will not eat mushrooms anymore after this cass
Hey I'm a fellow Victorian. With a sister who lived in that area for several years so it's a place i feel quite familiar with and boy howdy if there was a bit of the state that needed to blow off some steam (if you know what I'm sayin'.... 😉)
Edit: it has occurred to me I may be slightly too high.
I am Victorian and my sister did live there for a while but I have no idea with the last bit
That’s very sad for mushroom growers … I still eat mushrooms as I will not let this murderer win 🤷🏼♀️
Hey Mike! Happy Tuesday. I don’t know her, and I’m not all knowing, but I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if she (like you said) did this to nurse them back to health to be the hero and not to kill them. She had to know that it would easily be traced back to her if they died, right? Her crocodile tears though, my eyes rolled back so far they almost got stuck. Have a good rest of your week all of you fellow that chapter viewers!
👁️ 👁️ me too
You may be right. A little Munchausen to get her ex-husband back but she did attempt to kill him four times. These were some trusting people to eat her cooking after she had tried to kill her husband before he was an ex.
Ooh - kind of like a Munchausens situation!
She was into mycology. She wouldn't have chosen a death cap mushroom if it was a Munchausen by proxy situation.
She obviously wants to kill them. Imagine if one mushroom can kill you, and she used enough to make a meal. There's no doubt she wanted them killed
As someone from the Gippsland Region and that lives very close to where this took place, thank you for covering it. I love your work, keep it up. Love from Regional Victoria, Australia :)
Thanks for always covering these stories with the appropriate amount of seriousness while mixing in some levity. Happy birthday Mike - here's hoping your life insurance goes uncashed for many, many more years!
She deserves an oscar for that performance in front of the media 😂, not a single tear
Erm, to receive an Oscar your performance needs to be convincing…
@@sharonm3540 ok ye an emmy then
I’m so happy to see your TH-cam channel growing as big as it has Mike! Proud of your success homie. You’re great at what you do:)
As an Aussie who has closely followed this case, you did a great job. Only little bits not mentioned are apparently her 2 children were present at the lunch but did not get sick. Also the lunch was suggested to them by the church who wanted them to reconcile.
Kids were at the cinema
Classic church
Happy Birthday Mike! Thanks for being such an interesting, funny creator. We have heard a lot about this case in Australia, it's great that you covered it.
Yes! So happy you covered this! As a native Aussie from Vic this has been going off like a frog in a sock!!!
My mom stayed SUPER CLOSE to my dad’s parents after they divorced. His parents just really loved my mom and felt like she was one of their kids, till they passed away.
By the way, happy birthday, Mike! This was a really great episode and it’s nice to see you return to the format and standards that made you so popular in the first place!!
How did you know it's his birthday? 😮
Happy birthday Mike from a happy listener in NZ.
🎂
Happy birthday from 🇺🇸. 💙💙💙
@@nixcudmore4252 I saw it somewhere else on social media.
This lady did it
Hi everyone. I was born in Korumburra and went to school in Leongatha. My Brother, Sister and my Grandmother still live in Korumburra. My mum still in the wider area. My poor Grandmother has been beside herself with reporters camped out on her lawn. She lives right by Coal Creek. Her Erins husband was very lucky to survive her murderous rampage. Erin was a very experienced forager so there is no way that she just made a mistake. It will still be difficult to prove in a court of law. But I’m pretty sure the Prosecutors will have all their ducks in a row for a successful case against Erin.
Why are they camped outside your grandmothers house?
@@fair98fair Her grandmother keeps bringing out ice water and snacks for them. She wants them to go away but doesn't like seeing them being uncomfortable out in the hot sun all day.
@@fair98fair Constantly setting up the ‘Welcome to Korumburra’ sign camera angle that is on the nature strip near her front garden. Not much she can do about it. It is public property. But it doesn’t seem to be dying off. Quite the contrary. Seems to be more and more journalists coming from all over the world.
My mum grew up in the area and it was always drilled into her and her siblings not to eat any mushrooms they found. It's a common known fact in the area
do they have trial by jury down under? if yes, then these dumb jury would set her free...
Thank you for covering this! I didn't know much about this and initially thought it was a real accident. I thought she just randomly picked them out of the forest and didn't know better. Now I know she knew how to forage and had foraged before, it actually sounds worse to say she "bought them at a local Asian store". If the store story was true, then it would be easy to find the evidence trail to find the store and to check their sources. There would also be many people impacted, not just her specific lunch party. I also think the store would know better, its kinda racist really. I can't tell one mushroom from another but I'd think the grocery store knows what its doing.
Probably Asian grocery stores label their items better, but I've seen plenty of edible mushrooms mis-labeled in typical grocery stores. Not a big deal of course because it's just things like oysters, lionsmane, and chestnut, nothing poisonous. Luckily she's a terrible terrible actress and a poor planner.
It was hugely racist and yes, if she bought them at a store then there would have been deaths all over Melbourne.
Erin’s comments were that the mushrooms she bought from the Asian store(s) in Mt Waverley had handwritten labels on them. Every Asian store in the area was investigated and none of them sold (or historically sold) mushrooms with hand-written labels on them. She’s never said what type of mushrooms she was trying to buy either.
Her stories are full of holes
Agree! Totally racist diversion!
This lady is loser but racism is a stretch
Much love and hugs and light to the poor kids. I hope remaining family will be able to provide them some peace. RIP.
Oh wow, my record was reached today....42 seconds after this dropped, I was listening lol Such a sad case, and she was SO distraught, she ran out of tears during her interview. I love Tuesday just because of your videos! I can't thank you enough for being so consistent all these years. You're awesome and keep doing what you do best! Until Friday, have a great week That Chapter fans and, of course, Mike as well 😊
During the pandemic, I would sit at my computer hitting the refresh button until the video would upload at 3PM ET. I binged watched every single That Chapter video during lockdown.
@@DroneStrike1776 Do you like MrBallen he's pretty good storyteller for binge watching. Different to Mike he's The strange dark and mysterious rather than crime.
@@DroneStrike1776and you don’t see how this is sad at all?
@@spaomalley and you don't see how your comment is sad at all?
Miiiiike I just ordered my boyfriend some that chapter merch for him for Christmas, I’m so excited to see him open his gifts! You’re awesome, we love watching your content together. You’re so damn funny & you tell these stories so wonderfully. Hope you come back to Boston soon!
Her devastation act, in front of the Red car, was so thin. It was like a scene from a low budget murder/comedy.
Ha!!! I'm an Aussie and straight away when this story was on the news I said "GUILTY!!!!!"
Thank you Mike. RIP to the 3 who passed. I hope they figure this out soon for these people. Stay safe💚🙏🏼🕊️💔
Erin took the “til death do us part” and twisted it to fit in her dark and twisty mind. As much terrifying as it is heartbreaking.
The saddest massacre I’ve ever seen in one of your videos Mike, is how overcooked that Beef Wellington was cooked! 😂
Thanks Mike :)
Update from the Daily Mail:
Patterson officially pleaded not guilty to murdering her in-laws and attempting to murder her estranged husband during a hearing before the LaTrobe Valley Magistrates' Court on Tuesday .
The plea means Patterson will now go directly before the Supreme Court of Victoria where a jury will decide her fate. She will face the Supreme Court of Victoria on May 23.
As true blue Aussie thank you for covering this. You always give the best and accurate facts. Thank you.
Except the liver transplant needs fact checking
@@antidepressant11what is wrong with it?
@@sylviekins I googled that news. And one report said there was no liver transplant for the guy who survived yet.
I'd love Mike to go back and update us on some of the cases he has covered.
Mike just gets better and better at presenting ! He was already perfect! How is he getting better!
Mike ❤
Mike, this is the first time I've ever used a chat with any of the channels I watch on You Tube. I write to say two things: #1 I highly concur with the viewer who said your channel is the BEST channel on You Tube. I anxiously await every video you create for us and #2 I ADORED your horrible pun " that doesn't leave "mush room" for......horrible yet brilliant! Thank you for all that you do to entertain us and inform us. PS. Wish I had known you were coming to the states. I enjoyed your content while you were on holiday. Next time you're over....drinks are on me!
It's really hard to force yourself to cry, even top paid actors have trouble bringing on the tears when they aren't meant to be. Why didn't someone at that interview say 'well it certainly seems like you're trying to cry, but you're not are you?'. It's always a dead giveaway.
I am guessing the reason they don't do that is that every now and then it'll turn out that the person isn't a liar and they've just belittled an innocent victim who was genuinely upset on television.
@@StreakyBaconMan You're probably right, the media is well known for maintaining high standards.
@@StreakyBaconMan More like don't want the legal responsibilities of helping a potential killer do their grieving act better to avoid detection.
She was wiping tears that weren't there ..
Yayyy. We get barely any coverage on Australian cases, thanks for covering this one 🇦🇺 🐨 🤗
Best channel on TH-cam. Love ya Mike!
We don't deserve this guy 😢
@@starfighter1043💯
My God.......😅
22:17 'Looks like she foraged around and found out' 🤣🤣 Funny.
