In this episode, we dive into the disturbing case of Charles Cullen — a man once trusted to save lives, who became one of the most prolific serial killers in American history. Over a 16-year career as a nurse, Cullen is believed to have murdered at least 40 patients, though the real number could be much higher. Join us as we explore the red flags that were ignored and the hospitals that passed him along.
