Written by:
On Halloween night 1974 in Deer Park, Texas, 8-year-old Timothy O'Bryan died after eating a cyanide-laced Pixy Stix. His father, Ronald Clark O'Bryan, handed out five poisoned candies that night to cover up one murder for insurance money.
In this episode of the Daily Scaries True Crime Podcast, Brian Scott and Jill Egan walk through the minute-by-minute timeline of Halloween night, the race to recover the remaining candy, how investigators cleared the wrong house, the insurance motive that exposed the plan, the key evidence from the trial, and why O'Bryan became the first man executed by lethal injection in Texas on March 31, 1984.
A classic true crime case with new breakdowns and theories from Brian and Jill. Follow the show for new investigations every Tuesday.
