Untraceable poisons
It’s unclear whether any there is such a thing as untraceable poisons per se, but there are some which may have no test for them yet, or which break down so quickly before the person dies as to be undetectable at the time of death. An example of untraceable poisons is arsenic. There are known cases of arsenic poisoning where so little arsenic was used the arsenic was untraceable in the body, but found in food in the fridge. Arsenic is commonly known as one of the untraceable poisons. In Poisoned Love, I used Prolixin to poison my ex-lover. This is not one of the untraceable poisons, but it requires a special test to identify it in the blood.
The majority of assassinations are carried out by untraceable poisons that attract very little attention from the investigators or the media. Soviet ‘wet affairs’ units often used untraceable poisons developed by Moscow’s top secret Lab X that made victims appear to have died from natural causes. Lab X was founded in 1937 and continues, as laboratory 12 to this day. CIA had its own version.
Ukraine’s nationalist leader Viktor Yuschenko, Chechen Independence fighter Khattab, and Litvinenko were all victims of untraceable poisons.
Apparently, there was a conspiracy to kill Fidel Castro with untraceable poisons. In this case, the poison was botulin toxin.
Another of the so called untraceable poisons is biotoxin ricin, which is made from the Castor bean plant. This type of untraceable poisons is purportedly being made by Iraq and other terrorist nations.
Pope John Paul I is rumored to have been killed by the mafia using untraceable poisons.
There are also strong lingering suspicions that Yasser Arafat may have been the victim of untraceable poisons (Acontine) developed in Moscow and transferred by ex-soviet scientists to the mideast.
Other supposedly untraceable poisons include saxitotoxin obtained from ocean shellfish, tetanus, Abrin, (a protein poison requiring less dosage than ricin to kill), heavy water, tetramethylene disulfotetramine (TETS), water containing titanium, and strychnine.
While the drug I used in Poisoned Love, is not one of the untraceable poisons per se, I chose it because it is tasteless, colorless and odorless.
