Prosecutors say Mary Yoder’s murder may have started with a breakup.

Kaitlyn Conley and Adam Yoder had a toxic, on-again off-again relationship. One theory? She poisoned Mary to hurt Adam… or pull him closer in the aftermath.

And it worked. After Mary’s death, Adam leaned on her.

But the defense pointed somewhere else.

Mary’s husband, Bill—who started dating her own sister just months later.

Two very different motives.

So who had more to gain?
