The setting of a boat in the middle of the Coral Sea unlocks a delicious new home for terror. Sealable hatches and no one for miles means screaming is no good. And the serial killer has weaponized Vegemite.One thing Zephyr has up her sleeve is a boy, smitten after a meet-cute in which she tries to shoplift ice cream.

“Now I think that there was a possibility that there were foraged ones in there as well,” she told her lawyer, Colin Mandy. Patterson had foraged wild mushrooms for years, she told the court Tuesday, and had put some in her pantry weeks before the deaths.Patterson, who formally separated from her husband Simon Patterson in 2015, said she felt “hurt” when Simon told her the night before the lunch that he “wasn’t comfortable” attending.
