10. Who picked up Cynthia's prescription the morning of the murder?

Answer: Phillip

Cynthia, as would later come out in court, had picked up a different prescription from a different doctor. This was so she could put poison on the pills Phillip had gotten for her and she could still take something for her allergies.

Answer: Cynthia

She killed Elizabeth to frame her husband who had been having an affair with her sister. Complicated!

He's always giving her compliments, but they never get much closer than being very good friends.
