The FBI raced to identify the sender as panic spread across the country. But when Texas mother and bit-part actress Shannon Richardson contacted the FBI to point the finger at her husband Nathaniel, investigators quickly realised her story did not add up. What unfolded was a bizarre plot involving a B-grade film career, a crumbling marriage, and one of the most calculated framing attempts in modern American crime. This is the chilling story of a woman who tried to poison her way out of her own life and frame the man she vowed to love forever.
