    Graham Young was a serial killer obsessed with poisons and chemicals ever since childhood, but it wasn't until he started killing his co-workers, poisoning their tea with thallium and belladonna, that he earned himself the nickname The Teacup Poisoner.

    It makes total sense that Graham was so enamored of the Nazis, because they would perform "experiments" on prisoners and keep very detailed notes, just like Graham did. In fact, a lot of the information we know about how long humans can survive in severe heat, cold, without water, etc is because of the Nazis and their torture that they called experimentation

      It was incredibly cruel and didn't just target the millions of Jewish people but there were also lots of facilities that specifically targeted polish women. In either Japan or China I think, not sure on where anymore, they were inspired by them and "experimented" on black people with mustard gass. It is an absolute horrific part of history that I feel is not talked about enough when this topic comes up

    You can't blame the hospital for supplying the laurel leaves. Cyanide is in everything. Apple seeds, cherry seeds, lemon seeds, and laurel leaves are also know as bay leaves (AKA what your grandma throws in her soup for flavor depth).

    I'm a chemist (I don't specialise in toxicology) but he wanted matched because they contain phosphorus. When heated (not burnt) and added to something that can donate hydrogen, it can make a toxic gas called phosphine. It's the thing in breaking bads' first couple of episodes when walter is driving the van with a gas mask on.
    The distillation of the plant extract probably didn't produce cyanide but some organic compound that releases cyanide as a bi-product while being metabolized. It's a common thing in nature.
    Thallium is toxic because you're body mistakes it for potassium. Most (if not all) cells have a potassium ion pump to regulate functions of the cell (eg: nerve cells use potassium pumps to regulate the charge inside and outside of the cell which helps carry signals between cells - just poorly explained action potential). By disrupting this pump, your cells lose function and die.

    Just one thing you mentioned, Eleanor. You were speculating on Graham Young's reasons and described him as narcissistic. Graham Young was a textbook psychopath - one of the most extreme cases ever. People tend to attribute other disorders to psychopathy, narcissism etc, but it's not necessarily true. We all show elements of personality disorders but they only become disorders when they're out of balance with other aspects of personality.
    It's what makes us human - gives us personality at all. True psychopaths are empty vessels with no trace of humanity, no personality. It's why they can appear superficially charming, taking what they see and using it. Graham Young had no reason because he didn't understand what it is to be human. He didn't understand envy or anger or anything else and certainly didn't feel it. It's really difficult for non psychopathic people to understand there's a black hole where everything which makes us human should be. For Graham Young there was just him and it. People were just things and ultimately he was just a thing to himself.

Its often hedging where you are. It’s odd that a patient had the desire to distill it, much less the means.

    I've always been into true crime, but primarily it started with my mom's own interest in it. Now, not as much, but when I was a child, she'd often reference Dahmer, Gacy, JTR, Zodiac, and Ramirez. One of which she herself felt terrorized by during his killings. During the 80's my mom was a teenager in high school, living in the LA area. I now live in the house she used to as a teen. I used to ask why our windows were painted shut, and I always got the same response, "The Night Stalker" (Richard Ramirez.) So, to me True Crime would never raise a red flag, unless it was a noticeable obsession.

    What an utterly fascinating, terrifying, mysterious and just plain evil person Graham was! It's truly unimaginable for me to even try to comprehend how someone could function like he did...which I suppose is why this case is so bloody fascinating to me in a can't-look-away sort of way.

    At 10, I wanted to become a doctor so I could become a coroner so I could work in forensics. This was 1974 so forensics was very different at that point. I was a voracious reader (as were my siblings and parents) and grabbed one of my father's books called Crime and Science, which researched the very beginnings of forensics. This was before DNA so they were mostly using fingerprints, blood-typing, and blood spatter patterns. It described several murder cases and that made me want to help the families of victims and get killers off the street. Was that odd? For most people, probably. I'm also an introvert and am socially awkward. But I've never had the desire to kill anyone. The interest in serial killers, as evidenced by you and the majority of your viewers, is just a coincidence.
    And yes, telling people that young that I wanted to be a coroner made people uncomfortable so I started just saying I wanted to be a doctor. That's society teaching a child that lying isn't just okay, it's preferable. Ick.

    It's crazy how much the beginning of this story reminds me of Lizzie Borden. Lizzie (and Graham) both going to a pharmacist and lying in order to obtain deadly poisons, then their entire families _except_ for them coming down with mysterious, severe illnesses that can't be explained other than poisoning - specifically including their father and loving stepmother. Obviously in Lizzie's case she ended up going with straight up axe murder since the poisoning wasn't working, but listening to that beginning part was like listening to the beginning of her story too

    Obviously a completely different situation but I was hospitalised for my mental health, and was discharged because I lied so well about being better (I definitely should not have been discharged), and decided while still very unwell I wanted to work in mental health too, so IMMEDIATELY got a job in a psych ward (not just a psych ward but a psychiatric intensive care unit!) and the employer just took my word for it when I said I was fine and wanted to work there. Luckily I snapped out of my episode and left a day and a half into the job but the background checks on people who have been in hospital for mental health NEED to be better!!

    Hello Eleanor, Fun fact on Belladonna from my childhood as I am part of your older audience. This was about 1988/89, so I would have been about 8 or 9. I was having a lot of issues with my stomach (turned out to be the start of my anxiety) so the doctor had prescribed me to take Belladonna, as I had issues with swallowing pills (until I was about 10) to try and help with my stomach. Now, I loved to learn, still do. So I read the bottle, read the pamphlet and as one would, panicked when I saw "This can be a poison if taken wrong or more is added than instructed." How my poor Dad ever dealt with me..
    Per the label, which I was *very* sure to make sure to follow exactly, was "Mix 7 drops of Belladonna into an 8 ounce glass of water. If you lose count or more than 7 fall in, rinse out glass and start over" It did nothing in the end other than shoot up my anxiety even more so. I do know that some point after that this was taken off the market for prescriptions. It did give a nice, slight licorice taste to the water though, I'll give it that. But to be fair, I'd rather eat licorice and know that a few pieces of that won't kill me like the Belladonna could have. I was even getting those white marks on my fingernails and when my Dad saw that he put a stop to me taking it.

He was a fugitive for killing his wife of many, many years. They called him the karaoke killer. He went on a crime spree for a couple years but went undetected until I called that show to tell them I knew him, but not as his real name Joseph leroy crouch Jr but by an alias, Jay Nelson.

I would love to hear your point of view and explanation of this case as it relates to me on a personal level.. my mother was in the same ward at the time of the murders, she was an infant and was supposed to be in that ward at the time this was happening, but luckily the doctors had by chance let her go home with my grandparents for the week.

    Hi Eleanor, just wanted to say thank you for always giving me something to look forward to. I took a little break because we had some deaths in the family. My father in law and my grandpa both passed on the same night. It's been really rough and I've just gone back to work. I've been having trouble concentrating on my work and was starting to feel really depressed. Then I thought, hey, I bet Eleanor has some videos I missed. Sure enough there were three, quite long videos I haven't seen yet. I just finished the other two and they helped me so much! Listening to your videos while I work has been the only thing that keeps my mind busy enough to get on with what I'm doing instead of my mind constantly wandering back to all the other things going on right now. I know it's kind of morbid to watch murder videos after just experiencing painful losses, but my brain is hard wired to constantly be following a story, so thank you for giving me such well researched stories to follow. You're helping me keep my job 😂 if you need any case recommendations, I'll suggest my usual. Chad Isaak was convicted of a quadruple murder with no known motive. He killed himself in prison, shortly before his first appeal. Now our Supreme Court is trying to decide whether they will still hear the appeal and if so, whether they will overturn his conviction (despite being dead). I 100% believe he is guilty (case was covered by local media "KFYR-TV" and CourtTV) and it would be a gross miscarriage of justice to overturn his sentence after his death.
    Next case is Savannah Greywind. I won't spoil too much but she was 8 months pregnant when she went missing. One of the worst cases of police work I've ever heard. (Suspects literally carrying evidence across police caution tape). It's a tragic case with a happy(ish) ending. Also, she was Native American and her case and other missing indigenous women cases haven't received the attention they deserve.

I tried listening to my audiobook while I was working but it just wasn't cutting it for some reason, I was still really distracted and I kept missing chunks of my book and having to rewind. Then I put on one of her videos and instantly everything else just fell away. I was getting my work done AND following her story and all the intrusive thoughts were gone. I'm all caught up again now, so I'll have to find something to occupy me in the meantime.
