Mysterious Poisoning Case In Northland #shorts

This is a really interesting case. It's
00:00:02
unlike other cases that you're going to
00:00:03
see because as far as the family are
00:00:06
concerned and as far as I know the
00:00:07
police are concerned, they have their
00:00:09
man. We're talking very rural
00:00:11
communities, you know, long driveway
00:00:12
farms and things. And someone had put
00:00:14
two bottles of wine in his mailbox and
00:00:16
he assumed that this was payment for
00:00:18
some, you know, thing he might have
00:00:20
done. And he drank these and it turned
00:00:21
out one of them had been laced with
00:00:23
paraquot, which is a very, very deadly
00:00:25
herbicide. But unfortunately for his
00:00:27
murderer, Dave didn't die immediately.
00:00:29
He lived long enough to say, "You need
00:00:31
to test that wine because I drank this
00:00:33
and that's what happened." A civil case
00:00:35
had sort of come to a head where legal
00:00:37
action was happening at that moment
00:00:39
about to happen just at the time that
00:00:41
these wine bottles just sort of
00:00:42
conveniently showed up. The family
00:00:44
basically wanted the media to sort of
00:00:46
tell the truth about the situation that
00:00:48
to them it's not a who done it. They
00:00:50
believe that they know who did this.
00:00:52
It's just getting it out there so that
00:00:53
people know and then hopefully someone
00:00:55
might come forward. And I think that's
00:00:56
tide's coming in for some people at the
00:00:58
moment.
