Some stories make headlines. Others get ignored. On "Unreported," Meagan Medick takes a deeper look at the unexplained through the eyes and experiences of you, the viewers. You send the mystery — we investigate. This week, Meagan breaks down the Australian "mushroom murder" case that gripped the world. She's joined by Duncan McNab, a former police detective turned investigative journalist and author of “Recipe for Murder," who covered the trial from inside the courtroom.

They discuss how Erin Patterson poisoned four lunch guests with death cap mushrooms, why she served herself on a different plate than her victims, how a wiped phone and a hidden dehydrator helped unravel her story and why investigators believe she may have been secretly poisoning her estranged husband for months before the fatal lunch. "It's an act of brutality. ... The most bizarre and the weirdest murder case I've ever looked at," McNab says.
