Killer of the Week: The Killer Nurse Pt. 1

He was trusted to save lives...but used his nursing uniform to hide pure evil. When Charles Cullen entered the medical field, he wasn’t looking to heal patients. He was looking for revenge. Over the course of 16 years, he quietly poisoned hospital patients across New Jersey and Pennsylvania, becoming one of the most prolific serial killers in American history. In today's first episode of Killer of the Week, Vanessa Richardson and Dr. Tristin Engels trace how Cullen’s childhood trauma, obsession with control, and thirst for vengeance led him to play God: one lethal injection at a time.
