The Case Against Lady Kathryn O'Dell:

A social climber who wanted both the status of being the LADY of a finer house than she came from and access to Angus O'Dell's property, holdings and resources. She manipulated her husband into alienating his family members and convinced him to lay claim to the home, which gave her control of the finances as Duncan isn't that book smart. 

Duncan is an ASS, but didn't know his wife killed his parents.

The clues:

• Trace amounts of the Klingon poison, Veridium Six (which Duras used to kill K'mpek slowly over time in Next Gen.) is found in the property lake where Duncan spread Angus' ashes, which one of the Wil'I'Ams sisters discovers and recognizes. The other sister scans the grave of Margret O'Dell, Angus' wife who died a month plus prior, and she too has trace amounts of Veridium Six in her body.

• Kathryn and Duncan's prior home and estate are in financial peril, with tax liens against them and HEAVY debt against Kathryn due to her lavish spending habits. She has decimated her own finances and wants the stability of the O'Dell resources to continue to live beyond her means as a faux-woman of status. Jaeih discovered this in disguise as the Tax Adjudicator, Miss McGovern.

• Enalia used her Artan connections to confirm that a smuggler of ill repute, known for trading in Veridium Six, had been in Orbit several months ago, just prior to Margret O'Dell's symptoms. One of the other family members will confirm that they saw Kathryn meet with the smuggler in a tavern at that time. 

• Because Angus suspected the poison, he had his will recorded in secret prior to the date it WAS to be recorded.

• When Angus declared Minerva an O'Dell, and mentioned his intention to put her in his will, Kathryn panicked and upped the doses of Veridium Six in Angus' food, which caused her to handle the poison more sloppily, leaving trace residue in her nail beds. Not enough to be sick or show up in a med scan from a Marposian Doctor, but enough to be picked up by a level one Starfleet Medical Scan when they know to be looking for that exact poison.

• During the big reveal of all this, Jaeih will be there in her disguise at first searching the house for more evidence while Enalia and Rita make their case against Kathryn and Duncan, which Minnie will see right through and pull her aside to lead her to one of the secret passages that Angus had in the house where he hid the hologram of him recording his will, which names Minerva as an heir AND cuts Kathryn and Duncan from the will, perhaps. Minnie, being a Minotaur, can find her ay through ANY maze or labyrinth and see through things like secret tunnels naturally and leads her "Gammy" to what she's looking for.
