Maybe their Krispy Kreme poison can be slow working. And randomized! Maybe it can be nanobot Krispy Kreme infection that can be triggered by radio control!
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And randomized!
You totally randomise. Put them in a bit of the Boston Creme mix, and Bob's your uncle.

Hey, that's a good question. Is the longer time to apprehension related to a longer span between crimes? It seems like it would take longer to court, marry, kill, rinse, repeat than it would to just kill all the nurses in the Philadelphia area or something.

If I only had a brain...
You really want your classical mysterious two-step Asian poison.
Half the poison goes in the Krispy Kremes. The other half is smeared on the victim's telephone. Neither half separately registers as a poison, but put them together and whammo!
God, I miss '30s pulp fiction.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Hell, just dust them with arsenic powder. You could pretend you're Harriet Vane.

Okay Adam spilled the beans at the FF board so I can say it:
He's gonna be on The Inside.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Woo! ADAM!! Wooooo!!!
