0:03

crime podcast on the exactly right network

0:06

called buried bones show hosted

0:08

by journalists kate winkler dawson, the retired,

0:10

cold case investigator paul buried

0:13

bones is a study into the human and

0:16

reflection of just how far come week

0:19

presents with one of history's most compelling

0:21

true crime cases always

0:24

and modern forensic techniques to

0:26

bring new to mysteries

0:28

together, using their individual expertise,

0:30

they examined historical true crime through

0:33

a twenty-first-century lens the very

0:35

bones premiere episode transports you

0:37

to 1900 manhattan in the

0:39

events of the life death and potential

0:41

murder of magnate william marsh rice

0:44

when his valet become seduced

0:46

by dubious attorney, rice is life,

0:48

is threatened by c-murder toxicology

0:51

is the key to the case, enjoy the

0:53

following clip from premiere episode of

0:55

buried bones while you're listening, if

0:57

like what you hear bury bones

0:59

on amazon music, apple podcast the

1:01

wandering app or wherever you get your podcasts

1:05

if

1:05

name rice, just

1:08

sick enough that because of his advanced

1:10

age, 80 for the rest of his body will

1:12

give out, right? so it what's be murder

1:14

but it will be moving the process along

1:17

so they start giving him mercury

1:19

in his milk i mean mercury

1:22

as in thermometers that are now

1:24

not allowed to break mercury

1:26

well mercury comes in and different forms mercury

1:28

itself as a heavy metals and it

1:31

was used extensively and still

1:33

lives in some capacity so

1:35

even with a know dental fillings today

1:38

by it is something that

1:40

is toxic to a person

1:43

now the all depends on how you ingest

1:45

it in this case we have ingestion

1:48

orally so now the mercury is going

1:50

into the body and

1:52

if it's in melk which is a water

1:54

based product that's telling me that

1:56

it's probably a mercury salt salt

1:59

are generally aqueous soluble

2:01

or water soluble so now

2:03

the mercury is able to be

2:05

absorbed through the gastrointestinal

2:07

tract and get into prices

2:10

bodies but if it's at a low enough

2:12

level you're not going to have the real

2:14

classes to poisoning symptoms

2:16

flailing around exactly it

2:19

builds up in the bodies and

2:21

there would be a symptom starting to

2:24

manifest themselves over time

2:26

he are no such as g i his

2:28

shoes or kidney or liver

2:31

problems and then eventually

2:33

you might start to see seattle

2:35

the polls ease up on then with the

2:37

mercury poisoning you know those that are paths

2:39

you know that if everybody's heard of their the

2:41

mad hatter right yeah and

2:44

those top hats used to be treated

2:46

with a mercury type compound

2:48

and i forget the reason why know

2:50

that and so what was happening is

2:53

you know when you're wearing these top

2:55

half sad that mercury and that the

2:57

it was being transdermal he absorbed

2:59

and i'll have that mad hatters disease

3:01

or now they have this chronic

3:04

exposure to mercury so

3:06

in many ways patrick is convincing

3:09

jones smartest given the law but law murphy

3:11

here and there and eventually that

3:13

eighty four year old body is going to get

3:15

out of still homicide the homicide was

3:17

still poisoning it's not bad immediate

3:19

like immediate stabbing or gunshot or

3:21

frank elation it's elation homicide

3:23

that could take weeks if not months while it's

3:25

interesting because there

3:27

you evade detection which

3:29

were getting her been a little bits was not

3:31

so difficult to do with toxicology

3:34

in the late eighteen hundreds the and right at the turn

3:36

of the century toxicology was just really

3:38

moving then and so there

3:40

were some tools available but there weren't some

3:43

tools you could detect the next cyanide

3:45

some other things but smirk uri i

3:47

don't know if they would pick that up in a blood test or nights

3:49

during that time period that and this is where i

3:51

had to go back i actually have a book written

3:53

and eighty ninety two of

3:56

the essentials the forensic medical toxicology

3:58

medical high a high

3:59
