What events led to Bud Phillips' death?
The chemist at the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office told us that there was a lethal dose of strychnine in the chocolate ice cream. It was a huge break, because now we knew how it got in the butt.
Investigators can prove that the strychnine was in the ice cream, but now they need to prove that Purdy gave it to him.
We basically have to prove that she was there at the residence prior to his death, link her to the strychnine, and link her to the ice cream.
Investigators talk to Bud's neighbors.
Mr. Phillips' residence was at a corner of an intersection. One elderly lady across the street told me I happened to be looking in between 8 and 8.30.
Heard a horn honk and saw Purdy Clark's mother who came by to pick her up. So we knew that Purdy Clark left shortly before 9 o'clock.
Approximately 30 minutes later, Bud was spotted by witnesses stumbling out of his house in severe medical distress.
We could place her at the scene of the crime within 20 to 30 minutes of the death. That was too much of a coincidence for us.
Investigators theorize that Purdy delivered Bud his death sentence under the guise of bringing him a treat.
