Ep. 22 - Poisoned: David Castor

from Straight to the Case Hosted by Jewel Lugo

In this episode of Straight to the Case, we unravel one of the strangest and most unsettling poisoning cases in modern true crime — the death of David Castor. What was first ruled a suicide quickly unraveled into something far more sinister. Antifreeze. A staged scene. A so-called confession letter that raised more questions than answers. As investigators dug deeper, they uncovered a chilling pattern of manipulation, control, and calculated deception that turned a quiet family home into the center of a deadly mystery. We walk through the timeline of David’s final days, the forensic red flags that couldn’t be ignored, and the shocking truth that ultimately came to light — a truth that would expose a plot years in the making and force everyone involved to ask: how far can someone go to get away with murder? This is Poisoned: David Castor — a case where nothing is accidental, and the truth was hidden in plain sight.
