And the lump on her elbow, the very serious life-threatening condition, the request for her family's guidance, the prayer they had said over her, all of it built on a story that had zero foundation.

So the lunch itself began to look pretty different too.

And Simon told investigators that Aaron almost never hosted.

He called guests at the Gibson Street property very rare.

And Heather and Ian had never set foot there before that Saturday, hence why she gave them a tour of the house.

And if the family ever got together, it was at somebody else's place.

So the effort she had poured into the meal, a week of preparation, beef eye filet, individual Wellingtons, now stood out against the backdrop of someone who never had people over.

And Ian's account of that house tour came back too.

Heather had been particularly eager to see the pantry,

And she had a pantry project of her own at home and wanted to see Erin's layout.

But according to Ian, Erin had been very reluctant about the visit to the pantry.

And then there was the plating.

Heather and Gail had both volunteered to help serve and Erin had turned them away.

And she plated every dish herself, but let them take it out after she was done.

and the plates became evidence in their own right.

Because the four guests had been served on large gray plates and Erin had carried her own plate separately to the table and hers was a different color.

It was like an orange tan color.

And Heather actually made note of it in the car on the way to the hospital, that that was kind of odd.

So as the investigation widened, the woman behind those clues began to come into focus.

And almost nothing about her matched what the Patterson family had thought they knew.
