My Son Drank Poison To Save My Life And Trap His Evil Wife. He Knew It Was Lethal But Did It To Get Evidence. Now She’s Facing 8 Years And I’m Left With The Heartbreaking Truth.

“retaliation for what” “so may I show you something it’s relevant to this investigation” She nodded slowly. “go ahead”

I opened my laptop and brought up the files I’d been carrying like a stone in my chest for weeks. First were the lab results from the whiskey bottle showing 450 mg of Warfarin detected in a drink at my housewarming party. “that’s a lethal dose when combined with alcohol”

Sharon’s professional mask slipped slightly as she read the document. Next was the video from my phone showing Oilia loosening the bolts on a ladder and removing safety pins from the loadbearing joints. I played the footage as Sharon watched without speaking.

Then came the text messages between Oilia and Christine Sinclair recovered from cloud backup: planning, purchasing, and the disaster after the party. Sharon read each one twice. Finally there were the financial documents showing Oilia’s $320,000 debt compiled by Denise Morgan’s investigation.

I handed her a timeline document with everything organized chronologically from February to the present day. Sharon set down her pen. “mr sullivan are you saying your daughter-in-law tried to poison you”

“i’m saying the evidence suggests it and when that didn’t work she tried to sabotage a ladder and when that didn’t work either she filed a false report with your agency to make me appear incapacitated” “have you contacted the police” “not yet i’ve been gathering evidence but yes that’s my next step”

Sharon closed her notebook. Her professional demeanor remained but something had shifted in her eyes. “mr sullivan you are one of the most competent individuals I’ve assessed in 10 years with APS your home is safe your mental status is sound and your affairs are in impeccable order this case will be closed as unfounded”

“thank you” She stood and gathered her materials. “however I’m required by law to report suspected elder abuse to our investigative unit and to law enforcement what you’ve shown me constitutes financial exploitation attempted harm and filing a false report these are criminal matters”

My chest tightened. “i understand” “i’ll be forwarding my assessment and your evidence to Detective Eric Jensen with the Portland Police Bureau expect a call from him within 24 hours”

“i’ll be ready” After Sharon Ellis left I stood at the window watching her car pull away. Her official report clearing my name was already being filed electronically.

Oilia’s attempt to use the system against me had backfired. Instead of making me look incapacitated she’d triggered a formal investigation targeting herself. Within 24 hours the police would be involved.

Everything I’d gathered was about to become part of a criminal case. The house I’d bought as a refuge had become the center of an investigation. But for the first time in weeks I felt something close to relief; i wasn’t alone anymore and the system was finally listening.

Detective Eric Jensen called at 8:47 the next morning. I know the exact time because I’d been awake since 5 drinking coffee and staring at my phone waiting. “mr sullivan this is Detective Jensen with Portland Police Bureau adult Protective Services forwarded your case to me i need you to come to the station can you be here before 10:00”

“i’ll be there” I arrived at the precinct 10 minutes early at 9:50. The building was institutional gray with hard surfaces and fluorescent lighting.

A uniformed officer directed me to the detective division on the third floor. Detective Eric Jensen met me in the hallway, mid-40s with experienced eyes and a professional demeanor. He shook my hand firmly.

“mr sullivan thank you for coming in” He led me into an interview room with plain walls, a metal table, and recording equipment mounted in the corner. The chair was uncomfortable by design.

Jensen sat across from me and opened a folder. “i’ve reviewed Sharon Ellis’s report and the preliminary evidence we need to go through everything systematically this may take several hours” “i have time”

I’d brought everything organized in labeled folders. Jensen worked through each piece methodically, taking notes and asking clarifying questions.

The Son’s Silent Sacrifice

First came the lab results from the whiskey bottle. “450 mgs of warerin” Jensen read aloud.

“chain of custody documented this is solid” Next were Matthew’s medical records from Providence Portland Medical Center. The admission date was June 8th and the diagnosis was Warfarin poisoning.

The treatment notes showed vitamin K administration and blood transfusions. Then came my prescription records. “six pills missing from your medication” Jensen noted.

“refilled May 26th you keep detailed logs” “i’m careful with my health” The timeline showed Oilia’s access to my house 3 days before the party.

The video from my phone showed her loosening the ladder bolts and removing safety pins. The timestamp and metadata were intact. Then there was Denise Morgan’s investigation report on the $320,000 debt.

The internet search history showed queries about inheritance, incapacity, and Warfarin overdose symptoms. The text messages between Oilia and Christine Sinclair were recovered from cloud backup. Jensen read through them twice.

He saw financial documents showing the $800 money order, pharmacy records from Mexico, and shipping confirmation to Seattle. He saw the witness statement from James Fletcher regarding the ladder incident. Jensen reviewed everything twice while his pen moved steadily across his notepad.

Finally he looked up. “this is substantial evidence very well documented” “i’m an architect i understand the importance of structural integrity of evidence”

Jensen closed the folder. “we’ll need to interview your son he’s also a victim he needs to know what’s happening” My chest tightened.

“he doesn’t know not all of it” “he drank the poison meant for you he’s both a witness and a victim we need his statement” “Can I be there when you tell him”
