    As Jane's death is covered up by the university, the most likely culprit emerges. But the poisoner's motivations might not be what we think. And as we get closer to Jane's story, we get closer to her living family as well, and what connections they still have with her.

  • A Horrible Death to Die
    Mar 13 2023

    Even though the doctors present at her death and at her autopsy quickly concluded that she had been poisoned with strychnine, this narrative would soon be changed. Those with the university chose to declare her death natural, out of fear that any other cause -- murder, suicide, would open the school, and her estate, to further scrutiny.

    Written, reported, and narrated by Natalia Gurevich.
