On side A of the “poison tape”, November 11, 1977, was found the following whispers: “Going down” “Did it hurt?” “He’s gonna die” “Listen, he’s saying…. Going to die” “Yes, a heart attack time”
Mr. Jack Mitchell owner/engineer of ” Commercial Audio/ Forensic Audio/ Computer Audio Engineering” Albuquerque, New Mexico. (Sections of Mr. Mitchell’s report on the ‘poison whispers’ are recorded above) “After a week, Jack Mitchell called Mahabuddhi and advised that we should be arranging for legal counsel, as it appeared that what he was analysing was a poison conspiracy, judging from what he had already found on the tape. Mr. Jack Mitchell (referring to Dr. Helen McCaffery): “I sent her the report for her review and told her that if there was anything in there that she felt was incorrect she should tell me, she should change it. Or if she felt that anything needs to be added, then she should add it. She added nothing; she changed nothing. She actually submitted a document in which she says that she is in total agreement with the report, with the findings.”

Opinion: Based on my training and experience, the word poison is clearly audible and intelligible in several instances
