In July 2015, 60-year-old Mary Yoder walked into work at her chiropractic practice in Whitesboro, New York, feeling fine. Within 48 hours, she was dead. At first, doctors suspected a rare infection. But months later, toxicology results revealed something shocking: Mary died from a massive overdose of colchicine, a prescription medication she was never prescribed. Colchicine isn’t an over-the-counter drug. It’s not something people casually have access to. And the amount found in Mary’s system was far beyond a therapeutic dose. Mary’s husband of nearly 40 years, Dr. William “Bill” Yoder, initially appeared devastated. But after her sudden death, his behavior raised questions among family members, including a rapid new relationship with Mary’s own sister. As investigators in Oneida County, New York began digging, an anonymous letter arrived accusing someone close to Mary of the poisoning. When detectives followed up on the tip, they made a discovery that turned the entire case upside down. In this episode of Crime Junkie, Ashley Flowers and Brit Prawat unravel the anonymous letter that redirected the investigation and the evidence found in a Jeep that no one saw coming What began as a medical mystery quickly evolved into a murder investigation that divided a family and a community.
