Episode notes

Charles Cullen pled guilty to killing 13 patients and attempting to kill two others while he was employed at Somerset Medical Center in New Jersey. Some of those hospitals had not reported suspicious deaths that might have been linked to Charles Cullen to oversight agencies, police or other hospitals where he was applying to work. Police believe he could have killed as many as 400 people.

When Amy Loughren started working as a nurse at Somerset Medical Center, she did everything she could to hide the fact that she had a heart condition. And then, another nurse named Charles Cullen discovered Amy’s secret. He told her that he would keep it, but she didn’t know that he was keeping his own secret too.
