    What do you mean you met him at Raiford? Were you visiting him?

    Apparently I'm distantly related to the chemist who discovered Thallium.

    It was also briefly speculated to be the poison used to kill Alexander Litvinenko, until Polonium was discovered in his system. I went to a seminar by the A+E physician who treated him some years ago.

    From wikipedia: "The odorless and tasteless thallium sulfate was once widely used as rat poison and ant killer. Since 1972 (italics mine) this use has been prohibited in the United States due to safety concerns."

    He must have used some leftover thallium, since the murders occurred in 1988.

    Says he worked in an amphetamine lab as well and that thallium is a byproduct of amphetamine production, although it doesn't say how recently to the murder. And I bet the stock and waste disposal records of a legitimate amphetamine lab would be too scrupulous to let anything like that out easily.

    Or possibly he found some really ancient rat poison buried deep on a shelf in his garage. Who knows?

    No, I was visiting another DR inmate but I saw him in the visiting room and anyway he was a good friend of the otrher guy's. That's all. I got to meet Waterhouse, Mann, Bolin and a few others and among them Coleman (now in the population?) and Michael Mordenti dismissed from Raiford.
