Mushroom Murderer Erin Patterson and the True Crime Facebook Group

Show Notes

Part Two: Inside Keep Keli Lane Behind Bars, Erin Patterson appeared to demonstrate some traits common amongst convicted poisoners. For a start, the self-obsession and the manipulation.

But the Erin Patterson we thought we knew and the Erin Patterson who stood trial for murder seemed like two entirely different people. On one hand, she was a key figure in our true crime group, someone who shared our passion for seeking the truth.

Inside The Supreme Court of Victoria, Erin could be seen on video, sitting back in her government-issued chair and treating everyone in the pre-trial hearings as disposable.

Yes, this was a criminal case, and I know she needed to throw everything she had at it, but just like in the original true crime group, Erin was creating drama and trying to pitt people against each other.

In 2019, we crossed paths in a Facebook true crime group while investigating the Kelly Lane child killer case. Back then, Erin seemed like just another mum fascinated by crime. Today, she is convicted of murder and attempted murder after serving a fatal Beef Wellington laced with death cap mushrooms at a family lunch in Leongatha.

This podcast takes you behind the headlines and into the online world where Erin thrived. From hidden Facebook identities to fractured friendships, from her obsession with serial killers like Ivan Milat to her role in amateur sleuth groups, we uncover the digital breadcrumbs that foreshadowed her descent into darkness.

Through court reporting, personal insights, and analysis of social media crime culture, you’ll hear how a seemingly ordinary woman’s obsession blurred into real life — with deadly consequences.

Sorry, the audio glitches in parts. I had to do a very precise edit due to the harassment I am receiving for reporting this case.
