    Episode 16 - Beverley Allitt: A Sick Need for Attention
    2025/06/15
    In February 1991, 22-year-old Beverley Allitt started her first job as a children’s nurse at Lincolnshire’s Grantham and Kesteven Hospital. After less than a week in her new role, 7-week-old Liam Taylor was being treated on the children’s ward for a chest infection. He recovered from two respiratory emergencies, but his luck ran out when he was on his own with Beverley. Even though the attending team did their best to save Liam, he later died from a heart attack. He was to become the first of Beverley’s young victims. Three more would be murdered and another nine would be scarred for life from the trauma they endured.Sources: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/nov/22/study-identified-key-traits-serial-killer-nurses https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7571648/ https://www.biography.com/crime/beverley-allitt https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-66997014 https://www.newarkadvertiser.co.uk/news/serial-killer-denied-move-to-mainstream-prison-9343577/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2270251/ https://www.the-independent.com/news/uk/twin-baby-girl-was-killed-with-insulin-injection-1473435.html https://www.the-independent.com/news/child-murderer-confesses-at-last-1510845.html https://www.the-independent.com/news/uk/nurse-guilty-on-new-charge-2323357.html https://www.the-independent.com/news/uk/drawn-curtains-in-a-silent-village-the-beverly-allitt-case-on-friday-this-baby-killer-will-be-sentenced-for-26-attacks-including-four-murders-what-do-they-make-of-it-all-back-home-2324732.html https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/off-licence https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/support/support-topics/understanding-our-qualifications/our-qualifications-explained/about-cses.html https://thinkstudent.co.uk/what-are-cse-qualifications-equivalent-to/ https://www.batemansbrewery.co.uk/find-a-pint/fighting-cocks/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/life/2023/08/22/beverley-allitt-how-caught-nurse-serial-killer-angel-death/ https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/aug/26/lucy-letby-case-kayley-asher-survivor-of-beverley-allitt-attacks https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2007/dec/06/ukcrime.health https://www.stewarthouse.co.uk/news/nurse-beverley-allitt-in-first-steps-towards-release-from-prison https://inews.co.uk/culture/beverley-gail-allitt-now-nurse-murderer-3244677?srsltid=AfmBOorO_M6sNGIu7tp8T3G_moc5H8hjj6Qsiukmx0DpQ8CiKe4z6dt3 https://www.the-independent.com/news/doctors-blamed-over-child-killings-allitt-inquiry-finds-scapegoats-1402320.html https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/factitious-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20356028 https://www.the-independent.com/news/uk/doctors-in-allitt-case-fight-for-reinstatement-consultants-sacked-from-unit-where-children-were-murdered-are-scapegoats-2324164.html https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12096181.allitt-scapegoat-doctor-wins-appeal/ https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12684649.allitt-inquiry-highlights-failures-at-hospital-swifter-action-could-have-saved-at-least-one-childs-life/ https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/commons/1994/feb/11/beverly-allitt-report https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8VPeVenkpI https://www.the-independent.com/news/uk/boy-patient-died-an-hour-after-being-stable-1473851.html

    Episode 15 - Genene Jones: Killing Instead of Caring
    2025/06/08

    Working at Bexar County Medical Hospital in the pediatric ICU with the sickest children was where LVN Genene Jones wanted to be. She found the life-and-death emergencies exciting and wanted to be by the bedside of the sickest children. Colleagues who first viewed her as wanting to do a job that not every nurse was comfortable with soon started asking questions: Why were so many children dying during Genene’s shift? Whispers and rumors had begun gaining steam. Was Genene killing children during her “death shift”?

    Episode 14 - Elizabeth Wettlaufer: Dialing-Up for Dastardly Deeds
    2025/06/01

    We’re starting our next true crime theme: female killer nurses. Between 2007 and 2016, Ontario nurse Elizabeth Wettlaufer killed eight elderly patients and tried to kill or harm six more, administering insulin overdoses to those with dementia to relieve the “red surge” of pressure she felt in her chest. Elizabeth had a habit of stealing and using medication on the job and had been fired twice before. So, when her crimes came out, lawsuits were filed and an inquiry was launched as the public grappled with how this abuse of power was allowed to go on for almost a decade.

    Episode 13 - Selena Quintanilla: For the Record, It Was Murder
    2025/05/25
    On March 31, 1995, Grammy-award winning Selena Quintanilla was about to finally get her hands on the remaining financial records in the possession of her former employee who had been recently fired for embezzling. But that employee, the founder of Selena’s fan club, was not about to let the object of her obsession cut her out of her life. At the Days Inn in Corpus Christi, Texas, 34-year-old Yolanda Saldívar pulled out a .38-caliber revolver and shot the singer. While falling to the floor of the lobby, 23-year-old Selena used her final words to ensure that no one was in doubt about who the shooter had been.Sources: https://www.anb.org/display/10.1093/anb/9780198606697.001.0001/anb-9780198606697-e-16500https://www.biography.com/musicians/selena https://www.biography.com/crime/selena-final-days-murder https://www.biography.com/crime/yolanda-saldivar-selena-quintanilla-death https://www.biography.com/musicians/selena-quintanilla-husband-chris-perez https://www.oxygen.com/selena-and-yolanda-the-secrets-between-them/crime-news/where-is-selena-quintanillas-killer-yolanda-saldivar https://cbs4local.com/news/nation-world/selenas-murderer-seeks-parole-while-inmates-claim-theres-a-bounty-on-her-head https://csusmchronicle.com/23452/a-e/should-you-skip-or-stream-selena-yolanda-the-secrets-between-them/ https://www.krqe.com/news/national/viewers-have-mixed-reactions-to-selena-yolanda-docu-series/ https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/arts-culture/pop-culture/2025/01/03/509647/selenas-killer-yolanda-saldivar-up-for-parole-30-years-after-tejano-stars-shooting-death/#:~:text=The%20Texas%20Board%20of%20Pardons,life%20in%20prison%20on%20Oct. https://twu.edu/twhf/honorees/selena-quintanilla/#:~:text=Selena%20first%20won%20Tejano%20Music,she%20 won%20 almost%20 all%20 categories. https://womenshistory.si.edu/spotlight/latin-music-legends-stamps/selena https://people.com/music/all-about-selena-quintanilla-death/ https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/introduction-dare-drug-abuse-resistance-education-program-program https://gov.texas.gov/apps/music/directory/results/archives/region/corpus/p1#:~:text=The%20Selena%20Foundation%20Mission%20Statement,they%20were%20born%20to%20sing. https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/quintanilla-perez-selena-selena https://www.texasmonthly.com/arts-entertainment/selena-father-abraham-quintanilla-memoir/ https://people.com/all-about-selena-quintanilla-family-7971668 https://people.com/music/selena-quintanilla-husband-chris-perez-her-murder-hardest-thing-he-ever-dealt-with/ https://apnews.com/article/afc5ce6533829c1321d3bfe7a83f6aad https://people.com/music/selena-quintanilla-25-year-death-anniversary-family-keeping-memory-alive/https://people.com/chica/selena-quintanilla-hollywood-star-without-married-name/ https://www.today.com/news/yolanda-saldivar-now-rcna137866 https://www.today.com/popculture/music/selena-quintanilla-single-como-te-quiero-yo-ti-listen-rcna39959 https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/tx-court-of-appeals/1130222.html https://archive.caller.com/entertainment/selena/selena-gun-is-cut-up-and-dumped-into-bay-366067521-310745411.html/ https://people.com/music/selena-quintanilla-perez-husband-and-family-honor-her-on-26th-anniversary-of-death/#:~:text=In%20the%20repeated%20dream%20https://people.com/who-is-chris-perez-selena-quintanilla-husband-8575925 https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/29/us/selena-quintanilla-yolanda-saldivar-parole/index.html#:~:text=%E2%80%9CToday%2C%20we%20are%20grateful%20that,on%20their%20social%20media%20platforms. https://www.npr.org/2025/03/27/g-s1-56776/yolanda-saldivar-parole-selena-quintanilla-tejano-queen#:~:text=Yolanda%20Sald%C3%ADvar%20will%20continue%20serving,voted%20to%20not%20release%20her. https://www.caller.com/story/entertainment/people/selena/2015/04/15/saying-goodbye-thousands-bid-selena-farewell/91947264/

    2025/05/18

    On December 8, 1980, one of the most famous and prolific musicians of a generation, John Lennon, 40, was gunned down in front of the Dakota building, which housed his Upper West Side apartment in the adopted city that he loved, where he could walk around freely without getting bombarded by fans. However, one mentally unstable anddisillusioned fan, Mark David Chapman, 25, who had been planning John’s murder for months, finally completed his mission. Did Mark take Holden Caulfield’s catchphrase of “phony” a little too literally?

    Episode 11 - Christina Grimmie: My Celebrity “Soul Mate”
    2025/05/11
    It was a typical meet and greet, and the former contestant of The Voice, Christina Grimmie, stretched out her arms to hug a shy fan. But Kevin James Loibl didn’t return her embrace. Instead, he reached for his first 9mm handgun and shot his “soul mate,” a woman he had never met but with whom he had become obsessed, four times. Despite Christina’s brother tackling Kevin, Kevin scrambled away, took out his second handgun, and turned it on himself. We’re touching on YouTube fans and the personal connection they think they have with their favorite creators as we discuss another celebrity killed by a fan.Sources: https://allthatsinteresting.com/christina-grimmie-death https://www.cnn.com/2016/06/11/entertainment/christina-grimmie-who-was-she/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2016/06/14/entertainment/christina-grimmie-vigil-funeral-adam-levine/ https://www.cnn.com/2016/06/11/entertainment/christina-grimmie-dead-celebrity-reaction/index.htmlhttps://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2016/images/06/22/grimmie.investigative.supplement.pdf https://www.cnn.com/2016/06/22/us/christina-grimmie-the-voice-orlando-police-end-investigation/index.htmlhttps://www.cnn.com/2016/06/11/entertainment/orlando-christina-grimmie-shot/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2016/06/17/entertainment/christina-grimmie-memorial/index.html https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36507546https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36506082 https://www.orlandoweekly.com/music/the-murder-of-christina-grimmie-was-one-of-orlandos-most-tragic-events-for-about-26-hours-31764944https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/voice-singer-christina-grimmie-shot-after-florida-concert-n590161 https://evesham-nj.org/resident/history#:~:text=Marlton%20is%20a%20name%20commonly,as%20a%20fertilizer%2C%20like%20manure. https://blog.iheart.com/post/introducing-christina-grimmie-rising-star https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2U0_015pzNI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENN74XjjYd0 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/crime-courts/gunman-who-killed-voice-singer-christina-grimmie-id-d-kevin-n590316 https://allthatsinteresting.com/kevin-james-loibl https://www.investigationdiscovery.com/crimefeed/id-shows/death-by-fame/the-tragic-murder-of-christina-grimmie https://people.com/celebrity/christina-grimmie-death-concertgoer-on-kevin-loibl/ https://digitaledition.orlandosentinel.com/tribune/article_popover.aspx?guid=08f3e6fc-2e2e-4f0d-9688-d68d7d0eeab0 https://globalgrind.com/1703264/christina-grimmie/ https://www.seventeen.com/celebrity/a14259/christina-grimmie-interview/ https://christinagrimmiefoundation.org/our-impact/ https://christinagrimmie.com/about https://time.com/5581981/youtube-christina-grimmie-influencer/https://aegworldwide.com/ https://www.billboard.com/pro/christina-grimmie-family-lawsuit-aeg-live-orlando-venue/https://time.com/4376285/christina-grimmie-zelda-petition-nintendo-response/ https://www.researchgate.net/publication/242475256_Praying_at_the_altar_of_the_stars https://www.aap.org/en/advocacy/state-advocacy/waiting-periods-for-firearms-purchases/#:~:text=Waiting%20period%20laws%20give%20law,proper%20background%20check%20is%20performed

    Days before wrapping up their tour to head home for the Christmas holidays, the band Damageplan was playing a show at the Alrosa Villa Nightclub in Columbus, Ohio. However, this would be the last show for “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott and three other people. Nathan Gale went on a shooting spree that would send ripples through the heavy metal music community by ending the life of one of metal’s most influential power guitar players, leaving people to question how he was able to access the club and end the lives of four people in a matter of minutes.

    Against the backdrop of Colombian narco-soccer, Medellín’s Atlético Nacional qualified for the 1994 World Cup in the United States. Having lost only one of the twenty-six games they played in the lead-up to the World Cup, the team was helping Colombian fans forget the perils they faced during the tumultuous time following Pablo Escobar’s death. But after being eliminated during the group stage, soccer star Andrés Escobar was shot to death upon his return to Medellín. We’re back with another episode on a celebrity who was killed for the own goal he scored in one of the last games of his life.Sources: https://www.theringer.com/2022/10/12/sports/22-goals-andres-escobar-1994-world-cup-usa-colombia https://colombiaone.com/2023/10/05/most-practiced-sports-colombia/ https://pantheon.world/profile/occupation/soccer-player/country/colombia https://themobmuseum.org/blog/colombian-drug-lord-pablo-escobar-killed-30-years-ago-this-month/ https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/sports/soccer/everything-to-know-about-own-goals-in-soccer/3074117/ https://thesefootballtimes.co/2017/03/17/diego-maradona-at-world-cup-1994-the-fallen-angel/ https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/diego-maradona-soccer-player-urine-sample-rcna122523 https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/37372658/no-2-diego-maradona https://www.paleycenter.org/collection/item/?item=114720 https://www.eurosport.com/football/carlos-sanchez_prs119850/person.shtml https://www.wfaa.com/article/sports/soccer/world-cup/andres-escobar-world-cup-own-goal-muder-united-states-match-1994/287-0e8bc027-237e-45df-a9a9-85906f6c060fhttps://www.through-the-turnstiles.com/political-football/colombian-narco-football https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/andres-escobar-tragic-own-goal-colombia-world-cup-murder/bltcc01b39beb5c5e61 https://thebogotapost.com/narclord-and-prime-suspect-of-killing-footballer-andres-escobar-caught/26728/ https://colombiareports.com/amp/colombia-businessman-linking-uribe-to-death-squad-released-from-jail-despite-admitting-to-drug-trafficking/ https://soccer365.net/coaches/52275/ https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/mar/25/world-cup-moments-andres-escobar-death https://colombiaone.com/2024/12/15/pablo-escobar-medellin/
