Program: The Delaware Poisoned Candy Murders of 1898
One Delaware summer afternoon, a young wife in Dover received a gift box of candy in the mail. Two days after enjoying the treat with family and friends, she and her sister were dead of arsenic poisoning. Discovering who had sent the deadly delicacies, and why, exposed a tangle of lies, jealousy, adultery and betrayal in a trial that mesmerized the entire country in 1898.
