The Killer Nurse

Richard Angelo is a former nurse who gained notoriety for being a convicted serial killer. He was born on August 29, 1962, in New York. Angelo worked as a nurse at Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern, New York, during the late 1980s.

Angelo's crimes came to light when it was discovered that he had been intentionally poisoning patients at the hospital with lethal doses of medications. He was responsible for the deaths of at least eight patients and the severe injury of several others. Angelo administered drugs such as Pavulon and Anectine, which can cause paralysis and death if not used properly. He would then rush to the patients' aid, appearing as a heroic figure in the eyes of his colleagues.

Angelo's actions raised suspicions among hospital staff, particularly when a higher-than-average number of patients began to die under his care. Eventually, an investigation was launched, and he was arrested in 1987.

In 1988, Richard Angelo was convicted of second-degree murder and other charges related to the deaths and poisonings. He received a sentence of 61 years to life in prison. His case drew significant media attention and raised concerns about the potential for healthcare workers to harm patients. Angelo's actions are a chilling example of healthcare-related serial killings and the breach of trust that can occur in such settings.
