Caught Lying on the Stand?! #truecrime #crimejunkie #mushroommurders #australia | Forensic Files

So on the stand they're like, "Okay, gastric bypass surgery. Cool. Was it booked?" "Yes." "Okay, where?" So she
tells them and she gets caught on the stand lying because that place didn't even offer gastric bypass surgery. What?
I know. I don't like What are you thinking? >> Yeah. Oh my god. Okay, that doesn't
explain anything. That's wild. But there's there's more here. like disposing of evidence like the phones,
the dehydrator. >> Yeah. Basically, she says at certain points when she realized that people
were suspicious of her or like trying to blame her, she panicked and just did things that are dumb and make her look
guilty. Like the whole dehydrator thing, she says she tossed that because her husband was accusing her in the hospital
of killing his parents, which he says is untrue. He's like, I never accused her of that, like her early days. And then
the phone stuff, I mean, she has like a number of weird reasons that were all kind of different in the time leading up
to trial, but like all in all, it was it boiled down to basically her like panicking when she knew police were
looking seriously at her. Now, as for where the mushrooms came from, whereas before she always told police she never
foraged mushrooms, and she bought those dried mushrooms from an Asian ger, now she admits that she did get into
foraging during lockdown, and she's always loved eating mushrooms. And she said her kids had even seen her forge
mushrooms before. By the way, they deny this. And she adds that while she does forage, she definitely didn't go
foraging in that one town where the death caps were spotted after they were posted online. Even though her say even
though she went there right after it was posted.
