The Lead Poisoning That Almost Killed Her | Miami News

A shocking case of attempted murder unfolds when Hannah Pettey is found with lethal levels of lead poisoning—nearly filling her colon and spreading through her bones. Initially suspected to be an accident, doctors and investigators quickly realized it was intentional. Her husband, Brian Mann, a chiropractor, became the prime suspect after being linked to multiple life insurance policies on Hannah and possessing lead sheeting from his office that could be easily turned into poison. Despite Hannah’s testimony and damning evidence, Brian pleaded not guilty—but a jury convicted him of attempted murder, sentencing him to life in prison. Miraculously surviving the attack, Hannah recovered fully, graduated college, and now dedicates her life to teaching and raising her children.
