There was no way of knowing what he was doing with them when they weren't in view. That's why police were not convinced with the footage and told him to get clearer evidence of what she was doing. The overhead camera plus the chain of command footage did the trick and the police were finally able to act on his suspicion

If everyone would go around and poison people where would that lead us ? Is that a society you want to live in? The inquisition did that, not the most shiny period for human kind. Furthermore if she was being abused especially by an airman it takes one phone call and he would have been toast. His pay would immediately go to her, he would be taken into custody. They would send her home to her family. File the reports and actually court martial him if he did anything remotely to her. The military doesn’t play with domestic violence.

      Handling the SGLI paperwork used to be a part of my duties. $500K is the maximum, but the soldier can choose to reduce the SGLI payout in exchange for reduced insurance payments. 100K is guaranteed in death gratuity, but the insurance payout ranges from $50k to $400k depending on the soldier's choice (in increments of $50k). Not sure if it works the same for other branches (this guy is airforce) but I would assume it is similar.
      Either way it is ridiculous and abhorant to murder someone for any amount of money, but $500k isn't exactly retirement level money. Even if she got away with it and frauded the death gratuity/SGLI system, she would eventually have to return to work eventually and it would have been all the more difficult as a single parent (not that she would have been a good parent either way with such a skewed moral compass).

    I'm *really* curious why she chose *bleach* of all things as a poison. I'm a HUGE true crime buff and I went to college for pharmacy (I have a fair bit of knowledge about how spouses poison). Bleach is a bizarre choice for several reasons:
    - The instantly recognizable smell, even when mixed with coffee that scent is unmistakable.
    - Bleach is not something that will instantly kill you, even if you down a gallon of it. People have done that and survived.
    - Not only will it not kill you, but small amounts of chlorine won't even make you sick. The amount needed to cause illness would be enough to cause a noticeable change in *taste*.
    - The taste. He said he stopped drinking it because it tasted bad! Antifreeze is a popular choice of poison because it tastes sweet and there are *numerous* substances that either taste better or that have no taste at all.
    All of things make me think that one of two things may be happening. Either she didn't want him dead and just wanted him sick enough to where he was forced to stay home from work and spend time with her, or she *was* trying to kill him and is completely incompetent to an embarrassing degree. You would think that something so *final* and devastating as poisoning someone would be important enough to her take seriously! She is really playing games with his life and I think she's a danger to society.

      Poisoning is really hard to prove who the perpetrator is beyond a reasonable doubt when your only poisoning one person because you basically need video proof of the tampering or a long pattern of behavior that proves it could only have been them.
      Poisoning multiple people is much easier to prove because one person is the link between the victims, but one victim makes it much harder to prove the perpetrator beyond a reasonable doubt.
      Those mothers who poison their children for attention and sympathy from doctors (Munchausen syndrome) usually keep getting away with it until either their kid or kids die inside a hospital or hospital cameras catch them doing it.

    As former AF myself, that sense of dedication and methodology is pretty much instilled in most professions. Working on aircraft, you're given books and checklists that detail every precise step to follow when performing a task; to deviate or ignore any steps is considered disobeying a direct order. And this is present in most careers, be it mechanical, security forces, support, etc. So you learn routine, repeatability, and attention to detail.

    There was a case earlier this year of a woman who was poisoned by her husband, who was buying the poison “for his dental practice” and would bring it home and put it into her daily protein shakes. His coworker caught on after noticing the out of place drug in their incoming deliveries and hearing that the dentists wife was in the hospital with specific and suspicious symptoms.
    If the coworker hadn’t caught on and informed the hospital to test for the drug, the dentist would have gotten away with murder.
    It’s so scary how close he came to getting off the hook. They found out that she was poisoned the same day that she passed. After knowing that story and seeing this case, it scares me to think of how many times this crime has been committed by smarter criminals who have gotten away with it.

Hardly anyone was wearing PPE after the admin left each day and staff infected many. Dad had numerous falls and while in the hospital to get evaluated, he tested CV-19 positive, I was kicked out, and I knew I'd never see him again. I immediately reported his case to his facility and they FINALLY tested and found 34 cases and ended up with 3 deaths of residents-including Dad.

      Maybe in those cases you mentioned they were suspicious at first and told people about their suspicions, but they didn't really even believe it themselves, that their spouse was actually trying to poison them. Or maybe they just really did not want to believe it. Then maybe their spouse started acting all nice, and they started to feel silly for being paranoid, and they started to feel like they could trust them, and thought everything was fine and that their initial suspicions were wrong, when really they were not wrong at all.

    This guy is very intelligent. I can tell by how he’s doing this that the man is constantly thinking about how a defense could possibly raise doubt about what’s really happening, and he shuts them all down before the case has even began. He uses so many creative ways to make sure the evidence is incontrovertible. He even proves that there isn’t any type of contamination with either the water source or the machine. He waits until he’s in America to get the ball rolling on charges. He shows the full custody chain of the bleach during her attempt to poison him, from the beginning where she uses the bleach in the laundry until the point she puts it in his coffee. The guy really just gave some lucky prosecutor a free win. Makes sense it would be an airman, Air Force members have the highest average iQ of all the service branches. I have no doubt he crushed it on the ASVAB.

Like, what did she think would happen if he died? I would expect a healthy, fit soldier who passes away - especially one who dies in his home - is going to have an autopsy before life insurance is paid out to his spouse (that would be the norm where I live, anyway - otherwise they've got no cause of death to put on the death certificate). A toxicology screen would be part of that. It would just be so obvious so fast that it was murder that I don't understand how she could possibly think she'd have gotten away with it.

The intention behind this is often to gain insights into the thoughts and comments of prospective buyers to understand any hesitations or objections they may have regarding the property. Recently, a homeowner opted to employ this method and, in the process, discovered a fellow Real Estate Agent inappropriately rifling through their underwear drawers.

    Watching this made my skin crawl...Back in the early 1990's, I became very ill..the symptoms were severe. I was throwing up, severe headache and loss of coordination... and several other issues.
    My partner, at that time, showed little concern at my situation and was reluctant to take me to the hospital emergency room. Instead, she took me to a doctor, that I had never encountered before. It was a waste of time really, he prodded me in the stomach a few times, which made me worse. I ended up in the toilet at the doctor's practice, throwing up.
    When I came out she was standing at the door, waiting for me. I never saw the doctor again.
    She claimed that the doctor had told her that is was simply a tummy bug...
    We returned home and, for five long days, I suffered.
    Eventually, I got over it.
    The only thing that made me suspicious was a packet of rat poison was that sitting on the kitchen bench top. We did not have a rat or mouse problem at our house.
    A year or two later, we split and she left.
    Not long after, I researched the symptoms of ingesting rat poison... bingo, it matched my condition.
    I called the police but, due to a positive lack of evidence, they took it no further. As far as I know, they never questioned her.
    It is sobering to realize that someone you trusted, hated you to the point of trying to kill you.

      Women. Justice system, schools, colleges, government, police force, Hollywood, entertainment industry, social media industry, they are ALL on the side of "women can do no wrong"

    She agreed to a plea deal to avoid jail.
    Per the article: Johnson was sentenced to a probation sentence that includes mandatory mental health treatment that goes into effect immediately, and she is not allowed to have contact with her husband unless a legal team is present.
    The couple have a child together and were going through a divorce during the times she tried to poison her husband, court documents show.

    my ex was financially upside down. I had a couple lucitive insurance policies. He stopped drinking coffee...weird. and then i started getting sick. Diabetic...very controlled. My glucose started spiking extremely high. I was already packed to leave. On moving day my daughter saw how sick i was and rushed me to a KC hospital. There was ANTIFREEZE in my blood tests! he had an old 58 chevy he was "working" on in the garage.. He was putting the antifreeze in my coffee creamer... I couldn;t believe that a decon of our church would do this to me! Cops were in my room when doctor gave me results. This happened in Wichita KS. by the time he was confronted tha "evidence" was gone....fast forward a few months...his VERY wealthy mother who lived in Omaha and was a very active senior physially got moved to Wichita....whithin a few months was dead....I have no proof, but don;t believe in coincendences.

    WOW! 😂I'm shocked 😧 that they found the "weapon" underneath the sink. That would be the LAST place I would expect the detectives to find the bottle of Bleach. Lol😂😂😂

    She only got three years of probation for this…. Crazy. Apparently the husband said he didn’t want her to go to jail. Yeah I don’t think I’d go that route.

    That husband has amazing patience. He's obviously even tempered, too. Great video.
