36 years to commit a murder
#14
RE: 36 years to commit a murder
In this case I think there is a strong concurrence that this was a first time poisoning. The creep tested the poison (amateurishly) on animals first and learned nothing from the experiment.

He had recently been hired at a lab and had just learned of the poisons specific lethality. Also, prior to the lab job, he was in prison for shooting up his girlfriends house. He actually wasn't considered a suspect at first as the detectives thought he was still incarcerated at the time of the poisoning.

Also, there wasn't anyone else in his life he would have felt strongly enough about to do something drastic. He killed himself 12 years later still obsessed with that girlfriend. It occurs to me he probably would have kept attempting to ruin her life, but most everyone else would have been safe around him, unless he perceived them as 'part of the situation'.

i agree though, this guy came pretty close to escaping detection. Getting the dosage 'right' (for his purposes) and he might have had a life of enjoying his girlfriends misery.

There undoubtedly are other poisoners out there that have gotten away with it.

We'll never know.
