S.C. Nurse Who Fatally Poisoned Husband With Eye Drops: "I Just Wanted Him To Suffer"
CBS News ^ | 3/13/2021 | Peter Van Sant

Lana Clayton said she found her husband Steve Clayton dead at the bottom of a staircase in their South Carolina home. The businessman, who created physical therapy clinics, had been married to his wife for five years when he died.

Initially, the coroner's office ruled Clayton died from a possible heart attack. However, Clayton's nephew, Nick French, a police officer in a nearby town, noticed something was odd about Lana's behavior when he rushed to the mansion to console her.

"She made no mention of attempting to revive him," French tells "48 Hours" correspondent Peter Van Sant. "And Steve always had his phone with him. We were not able to find Steve's phone anywhere."

Concerned about the nature of his death, the family asked for an autopsy and a toxicology test. The blood test revealed an unusual chemical – tetrahydrozoline – in Steve Clayton's blood that would shift the investigation into a whole new direction.

I guess when they say it gets the red out out, they mean blood cells.

She’s not the first person to do it either. I’ve read stories of people murdering children and spouses from salt, Visine, rat poison, anti-freeze, and more. I find poisoning to be about as evil as possible.

She got caught because she couldn’t act.
That was quite the plan she had.
Whoa dog!

I guess she thought that was more subtle than shooting him in the face with a crossbow.

From the article:
“just two years before Steve’s death. Lana said she accidentally shot her husband in the head with a crossbow while he slept.”

Those mugshots brings to mind the old Winston Churchill line about the wife threatening to poison her husband.

"If you were my wife, I'd drink it."

What must he have been thinking marrying that skag? Looks like a methed up hillbilly addict hooker he found at a truck stop in Kentucky.

Did you read the part where a few years back, the wife ‘accidentally’ shot her husband in the head with a Crossbow while he slept. It was later declared ‘an accident’ and forgotten about after she apologized.
How often does THAT happen in a happy marriage?

Haha! Sir Winston had some zingers.

We’ve already established that, now we’re haggling about the price.

Yes I am drunk. Tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be ugly

If you were my wife I’d gladly drink it

Rum, buggery, and the lash. Those are naval traditions

***”She made no mention of attempting to revive him,” French tells “48 Hours” correspondent Peter Van Sant.”***

Too bad the police weren’t similarly curious with Michael Schiavo all those years ago.

Bwhahaha - and he stayed with her for 2 more years!
I'm going to have to start reading the articles again.

You need a prescription in the United States for hydroxychloroquine which is sold over-the-counter in a majority of malaria-infested countries yet the FDA lets deadly poisonous eye drops to be sold over-the-counter. Brilliant.

If the husband stayed with the black widow after that then the idiot deserved to die.

It’s a vascular constrictor, which makes the blood vessels in your eyes smaller so you don’t have reddish eyes. In large amounts, it constricts the blood vessels in your heart, and too much of it will cause a heart attack.
