Poisoned Babies: The Death Of Ryan Stallings

When 3 month old Ryan was rushed to hospital as he had laboured breathing and was vomiting uncontrollably, it was found, that his tiny body contained high levels of ethylene glycol and acetone in his blood.

Both compounds that are usually found in everyday household items such as nail polish remover and anti-freeze. Sadly, just 3 months later, at 6 months old, baby Ryan would pass away from this poisoning and his parents were immediately the prime suspects. His mother Patricia was arrested and charged for his murder, and put in jail, but during this time, she gave birth to another baby boy, David Junior.

David Junior was immediately put in states hands, but when he also starting showcasing the same symptoms as his older brother Ryan, everyone was confused. Had Patricia stallings really poisoned her some Ryan, and had she somehow also positioned her newborn baby David Junior? And if she had, why had she done it?
