This episode discusses the death of several children.

Please use discretion.

This is Darren Detweiler.

In early 1993, he was living just north of Seattle with his wife and their two children.

In late January, their 16-month-old, Riley, got sick and they took him to the hospital.

Riley wasn't getting any better.

The doctors decided that he should be airlifted to Seattle Children's Hospital.

Earlier that month, within a span of 24 hours, nine kids had shown up at Seattle Children's Hospital with symptoms just like Riley's.

This is writer Jeff Benedict.

The doctor at the hospital got in touch with the state health department and reported that he'd never seen anything like this before.

Nine sick kids with E. coli in 24 hours made him worry that there were going to be a lot more.

This was on a Tuesday, and by Friday, the number was up to 37.

A few of the children had been moved to the ICU.

Doctors were trying to figure out what was going on.
