When she tried to switch the dessert for something else, her husband insisted that she take the éclair.
In this Houston Post photo archived by the Houston Chronicle, Joan Robinson Hill and husband John Hill on Dec. 2, 1959, admire the festive decorations that adorned the ballroom for a party.A poisoned pastry was the weapon of choice when a Houston doctor wanted to kill his wife so he could run away with his mistress.On March 19, 1969, Joan Robinson Hill was admitted to Sharpstown General Hospital with low blood pressure, infection and uncontrollable diarrhea.
But despite John’s performance as the grief-ridden husband at the hospital, it was less than three months before he married again, to a woman named Ann Kurth. The sudden marriage quickly drew suspicion from Joan’s family and friends. In 1957, when she married John, a millionaire who made his name as one of the top plastic surgeons in the Southwest, Joan’s picture-perfect life appeared to get even better.Friends and family said that the marriage was extremely rocky and had long since soured by the time Joan died. The two would argue a lot.
After hearing the story of the odd dinner party dessert, Joan’s father Ash Robinson was convinced John had something to do with her death and ordered her body to be exhumed and autopsied again. Despite another inconclusive result as to her cause of death, John was indicted on charge of murder by omission in February 1970.
