A recent CBS News investigative report titled “The Gaslighting of Hannah Pettey” follows the disturbing case of a young woman who nearly lost her life after being poisoned. The corresponding episode, reported by “48 Hours” correspondent Anne-Marie Green, examines how investigators zeroed in on the two individuals Hannah Pettey trusted the most.
The story is framed around a pattern of psychological manipulation that preceded the physical threat. After Hannah fell gravely ill, law enforcement and forensic experts traced the danger back to people within her inner circle rather than a random act, underscoring the severity of the betrayal at the heart of the case.
The report was promoted alongside CBS News’ live coverage options, including the network’s 24/7 news stream and local bureau feeds in cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Baltimore.
CBS News continued to pair the segment with its broader crime and investigative lineup, highlighting ongoing coverage of criminal cases and true-crime reporting across its broadcast and digital platforms.

I always find these gaslighting cases so chilling. The psychological manipulation precedes the physical danger.
Does the episode ever reveal the identities of those responsible, or is that still under investigation?
This sounds absolutely horrifying. It’s alarming how the poisoners were people she trusted most.
