poisoning. cleaned out the bank account. are you trying to accuse me of something? have a brother determined to find a killer. how dare anybody do that to my little brother? it wasn t supposed to happen like this. a toxic mystery and an emotional trial. is the jury being out long a bad thing or a good thing? it was a mystery from day one. from that time, right around the end of the hockey season. it made sense of what was happening to matthew podolak, met the hockey amateur, met the hunter, the fish are, the athlete. it would make sense from the very first day that matthew podolak woke up with the pain in his back. and after what happened in the hospital a couple of months later, nothing made sense after that. [noise] the, god knows there were accusations. well yes, plenty of those. and a brother, mark, from whom the stories, the mystery became a kind of obsession. it s had quite an effect on me over the past seven years. the story of what happened to matt
like, being of matt had been taken out of the home. but it was what holly hadn t cleaned up that made the biggest impression on rebecca. those bottles of chemicals on the kitchen floor what was hollies response when you asked her about those items? one of the items was brought up us antifreeze for matt to winterize his boat. but, who winterize is their boat in the summer? remember, matt died in july, said the prosecutors, so rebecca s story was evidence that hawley had access to antifreeze around the time of matt s death she was able to put antifreeze in the kitchen of holly mcfeeture after the death of matt podolak. now they needed to convince the jury that holly actually fed the antifreeze to matt. that would take a little doing.
agonizing death of his kid brother matt marc podolak marched with satisfaction as holly mcfeeture walked into the courtroom i finally felt like we were going to make this happen. please rise! again, the case against holly was possibly a leech no guarantees here but, mark knew it. i was extremely nervous. oh my gosh! being in that courtroom and you don t know how it s going to turn out you have no idea how it s going to turn out. truth was, the prosecution didn t have much to work with. without any hard evidence to pin on holly, their case boiled down to a process of elimination. someone did this to mad. who else could ve been? other than his fiancée. in this case, telling a story would be crucial because there wasn t a whole lot else to do, right? absolutely. prosecutor brian began his story with the scene inside the hospital room the night matt died. his body was shutting down.
sent him to the doctor and got him on medication for that as well. what happened to matt podolak. who knew? apparently not the corner. who had still not issued any official report. and, then finally, three months after matt s death, mark got a call from his mother. come to a family meeting, she told him. she refused to tell them what would be said there. because, i knew that he would be very, very upset the news was too bizarre, too shocking to share over the phone coming up the whole family was there, and i kind of lost it the coroner s report makes it clear, matt s death wasn t just strange. it was also highly suspicious we were all thinking it was kidney failure, we were not expecting that. it was my mission to find an answer for this. when dateline continues. 0?
