About Thallium in the Thermos: How Hair Exposed Joanne Curley
A husband’s tea. A silent metal. And a strand of hair that refused to lie. This is how an “invisible” killer left a timeline hiding in plain sight. The New Detectives unravels three chilling poison cases using cutting-edge forensic toxicology. Follow the Robert Curley investigation from OSHA’s lab sweep to a breakthrough hair analysis that maps thallium doses month by month, turning a household thermos into a smoking gun. Then, step into a paper trail darker than any alley: a New Jersey cop’s forged divorce, a secret second marriage, and a bottle labeled potassium cyanide hidden in an attic. Finally, a bounced check cracks open a Kentucky mystery where colchicine, a fax machine, and a pasted “suicide note” collide. Discover how minute traces, spectrophotometers, and document forensics expose motive, method, and the moment of no return. The answers are there—if you know where to look. Watch now to see how science catches what poison hopes to hide.
