The Bathtub: Two Teenagers, a Premeditated Crime, Confessed Chats

The Bathtub: Two Teenagers, a Premeditated Crime, Confessed Chats: The Murder of Margaret Lavenstein in Misasuga, Ontario Two honor students, 15 and 16 years old, planned their mother's murder over Messenger. They shared every detail with friends: a lethal mix of vodka and codeine, a drowning technique, behavior in front of the police. The autopsy revealed that their mother had a real chance of recovery. In this episode, we explore how the police classified the case as an accident for a year, how an undercover operation a month later captured recorded confessions that contradicted the narrative of accidental drowning, and why forensic toxicology demonstrated calculated and lethal intoxication. The chats, the search history about codeine and alcohol, and the $133,674 insurance policy tell a story of conspiracy perfectly documented by the killers themselves.
