    Graham Young was a serial killer obsessed with poisons and chemicals ever since childhood, but it wasn't until he started killing his co-workers, poisoning their tea with thallium and belladonna, that he earned himself the nickname The Teacup Poisoner.

    It makes total sense that Graham was so enamored of the Nazis, because they would perform "experiments" on prisoners and keep very detailed notes, just like Graham did. In fact, a lot of the information we know about how long humans can survive in severe heat, cold, without water, etc is because of the Nazis and their torture that they called experimentation

    I'm a chemist (I don't specialise in toxicology) but he wanted matched because they contain phosphorus. When heated (not burnt) and added to something that can donate hydrogen, it can make a toxic gas called phosphine. It's the thing in breaking bads' first couple of episodes when walter is driving the van with a gas mask on.
    The distillation of the plant extract probably didn't produce cyanide but some organic compound that releases cyanide as a bi-product while being metabolized. It's a common thing in nature.
    Thallium is toxic because you're body mistakes it for potassium. Most (if not all) cells have a potassium ion pump to regulate functions of the cell (eg: nerve cells use potassium pumps to regulate the charge inside and outside of the cell which helps carry signals between cells - just poorly explained action potential). By disrupting this pump, your cells lose function and die.

    With such a young death, he was also exposed to MANY toxic chemicals from the time he was a child; I’m a trained hospital pharmacist, and that’s the first possibility that jumped out to me.

    Just one thing you mentioned, Eleanor. You were speculating on Graham Young's reasons and described him as narcissistic. Graham Young was a textbook psychopath - one of the most extreme cases ever. People tend to attribute other disorders to psychopathy, narcissism etc, but it's not necessarily true. We all show elements of personality disorders but they only become disorders when they're out of balance with other aspects of personality.
    It's what makes us human - gives us personality at all. True psychopaths are empty vessels with no trace of humanity, no personality. It's why they can appear superficially charming, taking what they see and using it. Graham Young had no reason because he didn't understand what it is to be human. He didn't understand envy or anger or anything else and certainly didn't feel it. It's really difficult for non psychopathic people to understand there's a black hole where everything which makes us human should be. For Graham Young there was just him and it. People were just things and ultimately he was just a thing to himself.

    I've always been into true crime, but primarily it started with my mom's own interest in it. Now, not as much, but when I was a child, she'd often reference Dahmer, Gacy, JTR, Zodiac, and Ramirez. One of which she herself felt terrorized by during his killings. During the 80's my mom was a teenager in high school, living in the LA area. I now live in the house she used to as a teen. I used to ask why our windows were painted shut, and I always got the same response, "The Night Stalker" (Richard Ramirez.) So, to me True Crime would never raise a red flag, unless it was a noticeable obsession.

    What an utterly fascinating, terrifying, mysterious and just plain evil person Graham was! It's truly unimaginable for me to even try to comprehend how someone could function like he did...which I suppose is why this case is so bloody fascinating to me in a can't-look-away sort of way.
    Thanks so much for all you do, Eleanor. Your content is consistently excellently presented and brilliantly researched, and I appreciate you SO much for doing what you do! ❤❤❤
    May Graham's victims' memories be a blessing to all who knew them, and may his survivors find as much peace and healing as possible.

    I really enjoyed your coverage of this case. It was one of the first videos I watched of Brooke McKenna's in her "killer kids" playlist and I always found it interesting. I especially like that both of you kind of laughed at his anger at his perceived "dainty" media nickname: "The Teacup Killer"/"The Teacup Poisoner". Of all the misplaced reverence that serial killers seem to attract from twisted individuals, even a minor laugh at their expense seems appropriate and deserved. Apparently he'd always try pulling what he deemed a "scary/intimidating" facial expression for photos (case in point the thumbnail photo of him)- although I think it looks more like he has gas! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣 I'm glad he didn't get the respect he thought he should.

When she (the YTer I’m talking about her) covered the serial killer who targeted gay men Eleanor just did herself the other day, the YTer would NOT stop talking about the victim’s cat that the killer also harmed. It made me too anxious to watch Eleanor’s video.

Its often hedging where you are. It’s odd that a patient had the desire to distill it, much less the means.

    At 10, I wanted to become a doctor so I could become a coroner so I could work in forensics. This was 1974 so forensics was very different at that point. I was a voracious reader (as were my siblings and parents) and grabbed one of my father's books called Crime and Science, which researched the very beginnings of forensics. This was before DNA so they were mostly using fingerprints, blood-typing, and blood spatter patterns. It described several murder cases and that made me want to help the families of victims and get killers off the street. Was that odd? For most people, probably. I'm also an introvert and am socially awkward. But I've never had the desire to kill anyone. The interest in serial killers, as evidenced by you and the majority of your viewers, is just a coincidence.
    And yes, telling people that young that I wanted to be a coroner made people uncomfortable so I started just saying I wanted to be a doctor. That's society teaching a child that lying isn't just okay, it's preferable. Ick.

Lizzie (and Graham) both going to a pharmacist and lying in order to obtain deadly poisons, then their entire families _except_ for them coming down with mysterious, severe illnesses that can't be explained other than poisoning - specifically including their father and loving stepmother. Obviously in Lizzie's case she ended up going with straight up axe murder since the poisoning wasn't working, but listening to that beginning part was like listening to the beginning of her story too

He was a fugitive for killing his wife of many, many years. They called him the karaoke killer. He went on a crime spree for a couple years but went undetected until I called that show to tell them I knew him, but not as his real name Joseph leroy crouch Jr but by an alias, Jay Nelson.
