Before reading this, I had not heard about the case or the people involved so I went in completely blind!
This is a chilling true crime about the murder of Mary Yoder, a chiropractor, wife, mother, and grandmother in Utica, NY. Her sudden illness and passing came as a shock to friends and family, weeks after the medical examiner discovered Mary was poisoned!
The suspect, Katie Conley, is Mary’s son Adam’s ex girlfriend. Katie orchestrated this for revenge, to get back at Adam for breaking off their relationship. Crazy!! And she may have poisoned Adam first but he recovered just weeks before Mary became ill.
M. William Phelps wrote a gripping and suspenseful book, detailing the investigation and the trial of Katie. Katie was convicted of first degree manslaughter and sentenced to 23 years.
