Australian murder suspect denies drying deadly mushrooms
An Australian woman accused of murdering three people with death cap mushrooms denied Wednesday that she turned the fungi into dry powder for the fatal meal. Erin Patterson, 50, is charged with murdering her estranged husband's parents and aunt in July 2023 by spiking a beef Wellington lunch with the mushrooms. She is also accused of attempting to murder a fourth lunch guest -- her husband's uncle -- who survived the dish after a long stay in hospital. Patterson denies all charges in the trial, which has made headlines worldwide. She says the beef-and-pastry dish, which she cooked in individually sized portions, was poisoned by accident. Three months before the lunch, phone records placed Patterson in the Victoria state township of Loch, where a sighting of death cap mushrooms had been posted online, the court heard. Prosecutor Nanette Rogers alleged that within two hours of finding death cap mushrooms in Loch, Patterson bought a dehydrator to use on the fungi. Patterson admitted to buying the dehydrator. But she denied purchasing it to dry the death cap mushrooms or that she went to Loch to find the dangerous fungi. A month later, phone records placed Patterson in a second town in the area, Outtrim, just days after a sighting of death cap mushrooms had been posted online, the court heard. Patterson denied she went to the area to find the fungi, but said she may have driven by the area. Rogers suggested Patterson "blitzed" the death cap mushrooms into a powder in order to hide them in the meal. "Disagree," Patterson said. - Leftovers a 'lie' - The court heard Patterson had told people that she served the beef Wellington leftovers to her children a day after the lunch, as her sickened guests lay in hospital. The accused said she scraped off the mushroom and pastry from the dish because her children were fussy eaters. The prosecutor asked Patterson why she would feed leftovers to her children, while knowing or suspecting that the same meal had put her guests in hospital. "I didn't know or suspect that," Patterson replied. The prosecutor accused her of telling a "lie about feeding the leftovers" because it gave her "some distance from a deliberate poisoning". Patterson replied: "I don't see how it could, but I disagree." The home cook had also invited her estranged husband Simon to join the family lunch at her secluded home in the Victoria state farm village of Leongatha. But Simon turned down the invitation saying he felt uncomfortable going, the court heard previously. The pair were long estranged but still legally married. Simon's parents Don and Gail, and his aunt Heather Wilkinson, attended the lunch. All three were dead within days. Heather's husband Ian fell gravely ill but recovered. The trial in Morwell, southeast of Melbourne, is expected to last another two weeks. lec/djw/mtp

Authorities believe they have tracked Travis Decker, who is accused of killing his three daughters, to the Blewett Pass in Washington after a weeklong manhunt The girls — Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5 — were found suffocated at a remote campground on June 2 Decker was previously charged in absentia with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of kidnappingTravis Decker, the Washington father accused of murdering his three young daughters during a court-ordered visit, has been allegedly tracked following a nationwide manhunt that spanned over a week and involved multiple law enforcement agencies, authorities confirmed on Tuesday, June 39, is currently believed to have been tracked to the Blewett Pass area near Highway 97 in Washington, the Chelan County Sheriff's Office said in a press release shared with PEOPLE. He has yet to be apprehended. "Our office recently received a tip from a hiking party who stated they spotted a lone hiker in the Enchantments area who appeared to be ill prepared for trail and weather conditions, and appeared to be avoiding others," police said. "Tracking teams immediately acted upon the information and spotted a lone, off trail hiker from a helicopter near Colchuck Lake who ran from sight as the helicopter passed," the CCSO added. "Additional assets were called to the area while they developed a plan to track the individual. Teams later picked up a trail and deployed K9s to the area, tracking the subject to the area of Ingalls Creek Trailhead on HWY 97." Police say anyone who has been camping in the area within the last week and noticed anything suspicious should call the tip line. Decker is wanted in connection with the deaths of Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia Decker, 5 — three sisters found deceased at a remote campsite near the Cascade Mountains on June 2. The girls had been reported missing by their mother, Whitney Decker, on May 30, after their father, Travis, failed to return them following a court-ordered visitation. Hours later, police located Travis' abandoned truck at the Rock Island Campground. Inside a tent nearby, they made a grim discovery: all three sisters, deceased. All three children had been suffocated, and a coroner ruled their deaths homicides, according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by PEOPLE. Travis was charged with three counts of first-degree murder, one count of first-degree kidnapping and custodial interference. Authorities believed Decker may have fled on foot and attempted to cross into Canada after he allegedly searched "how to relocate to Canada" online. A $20,000 reward was offered for information leading to his arrest. The U.S. Marshal Service, along with local and state agencies, coordinated a wide-ranging search.
