A woman dies alone in her recliner, surrounded by pills, with no signs of struggle and no obvious suspects. What investigators find in her bloodstream months later changes everything. The story of Lynn Hernan is about poison, a quarter million dollars, and the specific kind of trust that takes a lifetime to build and one person to weaponize.

Recorded live at Hay Camp Brewing Company.
