Erin Patterson’s Red MG From Trial Evidence Briefly Listed for Sale on Facebook

Her power of attorney said the posting was a routine sale unrelated to the case.

Overview

  • The 2023 MG ZST with about 22,000km was advertised on Facebook Marketplace for $18,500 with the note "priced to sell quickly."
  • The listing, which made no reference to the murder case, was later removed after drawing attention online.
  • Media identified the seller as Ali Prior, who holds Patterson’s power of attorney and said she was authorized to sell the vehicle.
  • The red MG appeared in trial CCTV from August 2, 2023, showing Patterson dumping a food dehydrator later found to carry death cap mushroom residue.
  • Patterson is serving life in prison with a 33-year non-parole period and, according to reporting, has until October 6 to file an appeal.
