The Reno Bottle
They open a bottle of wine from the Potrero Hill years. Both become extremely ill. Kelly is pregnant. She loses the baby. Testing reveals mycophenolic acid — an immunosuppressant for organ transplants — at seven times the normal range. Kelly's levels spike to fourteen times normal, then fall to zero. A single acute poisoning from a bottle that waited on a shelf for months.

Four Discoveries
The four poisoning discoveries placed side by side. Lithium in March 2017 — six times normal, no prescription. The Brooklyn night — dissociation, tampered medication, no sample preserved. Abby Tedla's confession — 'she did it all the time.' The Reno bottle — mycophenolic acid at seven times the upper bound, in wine that had been sitting on a shelf for years. What looked like separate incidents becomes a single line drawn across four years and four substances.
