When 41-year-old waitress Peggy Carr succumbed to a mysterious illness in October 1988, doctors in Alturas, Florida, struggled to figure out what was wrong with her. As other members of Peggy’s family became sick too, one neurologist came to suspect they were dealing with a case of poisoning. Tests soon confirmed the family had been deliberately poisoned with the rare heavy metal thallium, but no one could understand why. 00:00 Intro Based on  Case 239: Peggy Carr https://casefilepodcast.com/case-239-peggy-carr/ CREDITS Anonymous Host - narration Erin Munro - research, writing Mike Migas - production, music Andrew D.B.
