Authorities are charging two people in connection with an attempted cyanide poisoning in Wisconsin. Dane County Deputy District Attorney William Brown says Paul Van Duyne and Andrea Whitaker are accused of plotting to poison Van Duyne’s ex-girlfriends.
A month ago, one woman told authorities someone had broken into her car, and her water tasted strange after she returned to the vehicle. The water bottle was submitted to a lab and investigators found cyanide in the water. Authorities exercised search warrants at the suspects’ homes earlier this week in raids that required hazmat teams. Van Duyne is now charged with attempted homicide and Whitaker is accused of aiding a felon.
