Victorian detectives could take months to finalise their investigation into the mysterious deaths of Erin Patterson's lunch guests.
Detectives investigating the deaths of three people over a deadly mushroom lunch will most likely ask 12 pivotal questions in a interview with the chef of the meal.
Don and Gail Patterson, Gail's sister Heather and her pastor husband Ian fell sick after eating beef Wellington pie at Erin Patterson's Leongatha home, in Victoria's Gippsland, on July 29.
As authorities investigate the Leongatha deaths, a haunting photo published in a local newsletter once run by the Pattersons before their then-daughter in-law later took over the reins has emerged.
On the face of it, they seemed like the perfect family. But behind the facade of the Pattersons' tranquil lives, something disturbing was unfolding.
