00:00How do you poison just one cup among hundreds of water cups and still make sure your target drinks that exact poisoned cup?
00:06Today, the town held a marathon race, but no one expected that right after the man crossed the finish line, he collapsed to the ground and died.
00:14The police quickly sealed off the scene.
00:16I was convinced this was likely a murder because just an hour earlier, I had received a voice message from the deceased.
00:22Mackenzie, it's Götis Fali'afa.
00:24I know we've never really spoken, but I need your help.
00:28I know more people are going to die.
00:30I figured he wanted to confess something to me in person.
00:33He had no idea he would suddenly drop dead an hour later.
00:36Soon enough, I found a note with numbers on it in the victim's wallet.
00:40We learned that the person running alongside the deceased was his girlfriend, Jade.
00:44Jade was a minor internet celebrity who came to promote her own energy drink formula.
00:49I tracked her down, hoping to get some leads.
00:52Jade said that aside from the water at the aid station, they hadn't eaten anything all day.
00:56We found the aid station staff, but they insisted they were only responsible for transportation and hadn't touched the water cups.
01:03I pulled out that note with the numbers and asked around.
01:06Everyone thought it was a phone number.
01:07So far, we had absolutely no useful leads.
01:10You seriously think it's poison?
01:11Mm-hmm.
01:13Because Glenn said his symptoms could just be a heart attack.
01:17Yes, but with someone so young, with no pre-existing condition, and it doesn't explain the message he left on my phone.
01:23Curtis is the only victim.
01:25He could have eaten or drank anything.
01:26The medical examiner quickly confirmed there was poison in the water.
01:31However, to find out the exact substance, we'd have to wait for the lab results.
01:35To figure out how the killer managed to poison so precisely, I went back to the aid station staff.
01:40Turns out, he used to be the victim's soccer coach.
01:43That's when I noticed he had an injury on his hand.
01:46What happened to your hand?
01:50I caught it in the boat rack.
01:53Hooks.
01:54We also found video footage of the victim during the race.
01:58At that point, the victim and Jade had shared the same bottle of water.
02:02Other than that, it was just the water from the aid station, and they definitely grabbed cups at random.
02:07During the meeting, my colleague mentioned that Jade owned a health supplement business.
02:10She marketed her formula as a cancer cure because she claimed she recovered from cancer by drinking it, and she built a company around it.
02:18But now, she was planning to sell the company, and the deceased owned half the shares.
02:22Right, so if he dies?
02:24Jade gets the lot.
02:2540 million bucks.
02:27Is that enough to poison your partner?
02:29We went back to Jade.
02:30She said she wasn't interested in money, and was only selling the company because she wanted to get back to her own life.
02:36After her boyfriend died, she said her agent was the one who'd been comforting her.
