About this episode
Days after Poison first aired, Kenneth Law is arrested in Canada. At a late-night press conference, police reveal the alleged scale of his operation: 1,200 packages, shipped to over 40 countries.
For the families left behind, the arrest brings both relief and renewed grief, and a question that hangs over the entire investigation: why did it take so long?
