She Handed Her Best Friend Coffee… Laced With Cyanide

Jessica Wongso handed her best friend an iced coffee. Minutes later, Mirna Salihin was foaming at the mouth and dying, all caught on café security cameras. Prosecutors said it was a cold and calculated murder. The drink tested positive for cyanide. Jessica had a troubled past, a history of threats, and suspicious behavior like placing shopping bags around the drinks to block the view. But no one saw her spike the cup, and no cyanide was ever found in her home. She was convicted and later released early in 2024. Now she is free and reinventing herself as a social media influencer.
