Twelve deaths in 13 days
When mental illness distorts human values and makes it impossible to follow conventional thinking standards, the results can be disastrous. Other victims were defenceless and innocent people who were housed on a little nursing home floor. In St. Petersburg, this is 3:00 a.m., or what nurses refer to as the "graveyard shift." However, in the winter of 84, this is the hour when patients will be buried. Twelve fatalities in 13 days at a 50-bed institution. The first victim is an old citizen who will not live to see his twilight years.The same person in charge of his care is also his killer. Nurse Bobby sued Dudley because she might have gotten away with this kind of crime for months or even years if she hadn't been so prolific in such a short period of time. Investigator Candice DeLong has investigated a number of murderers, including Bobby Sue; we refer to her kind of serial killer as "angels of death," or "angels of mercy."
