And forensic testing found traces of death cat mushroom inside.

And her first response to detectives was flat denial.

She said she didn't own a food dehydrator, never had, but her own friend had already given police screenshots from a Facebook group conversation, and the photos showed mushrooms arranged across the trays of a dehydrator.

Maybe if you're doing something bad, don't post it on Facebook or do, you know, it's good that she did.

That's crazy.

And she would eventually have to admit the truth saying, quote, I knew that there were photos in there of mushrooms and the dehydrator and I just panicked, unquote.

And detectives identified two phones in Patterson's possession.

The first was the device she'd been carrying in the weeks leading up to the lunch.

And the last time it appeared on any footage was a hospital security camera on July 31st.

And by the time investigators got inside the Gibson Street house on August 5th,

the SIM card had already been pulled from that phone and dropped into a Nokia.

And the movement log put the swap at 1 45 PM, which was while detectives were still working their way through the rooms.

And the physical phone was never actually found.

And the phone she did hand over had been factory reset four separate times during 2023.

A little bit suspicious, I'd say.

Sorry, that's the last time I'm gonna do it, I swear.

And once on August 2nd, the same day she drove to the tip with the dehydrator.

And once again, August 5th, while police were conducting the search.

And then once more after investigators already had it in their possession.

someone triggered a remote wipe while it was sitting in an evidence room.
