It sounds like the plot of a Harlan Coban-esque thriller – but this story happened in reality: a woman tried to murder her husband for months instead of completing the divorce from him, until he finally managed to get the authorities to arrest her before she carried out her plot. We used ChatGPT to detail what happened there.
Robbie Johnson is a pilot in the U.S. Air Force – the salt of the earth, as they say. In March 2023, while stationed in Germany, he began noticing a strange taste in his morning coffee — and it didn't taste like salt. He purchased chemical testing kits used to detect chlorine in the water, and discovered that although the tap water in the temporary accommodation allocated to him and his wife contained the usual concentration, his coffee contained a much higher concentration.
Johnson stopped drinking the coffee his wife used to make for him at night, but pretended to drink it. At the same time, he bought a hidden camera and placed it in the kitchen to record his wife putting the chloric poison into his coffee. It wasn't until he returned to Davis Montahan Air Force Base in the United States that he approached local police with footage of the incident – but the officers quickly acted. The reason: The photographs were not clear enough to determine that it was poisoning.
In response, Johnson purchased additional hidden cameras that he installed throughout the house. He soon had incriminating and unequivocal footage showing his wife entering the laundry room, pouring bleach into the container, and then going to the kitchen with the container to add the dangerous liquid to her husband's coffee.
That footage was enough for police in Tucson, Arizona, to arrest the woman, 39-year-old Melody Pellicano Johnson, on suspicion of attempted murder and set her bail at $250,000. Melody remains silent for now, and her lawyer has not issued any statements to the media.
