Hospitals ignored the warning signs. Administrators covered their tracks. And hundreds of patients paid the price. But when a fellow nurse befriends Charles, she becomes the key to his downfall.
In this shocking conclusion, Vanessa Richardson and Dr. Tristin Engels reveal how Cullen’s arrogance, obsession, and chilling lack of remorse turned hospitals into his hunting grounds — and how one woman’s courage finally stopped him.

This makes him the most prolific serial killer in WORLD HISTORY. He did his killing in secret, of course, and was well loved by hospital colleagues. But looking back, the evidence of murders was plain for anyone to see. And hospital administrators, who had to be aware of what he was doing, turned a blind eye to protect their business rather than protecting their patients. This is the story of how Cullen got away with it for so long.

Nurse Charles Cullen is one of America’s most prolific serial killers. Police say he may have murdered up to 400 victims, Cullen claimed he acted mercifully.
Charles Cullen was a nurse who murdered a large number of patients over 16 years in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He confessed to murdering between 30 and 40 patients, but many people believe the true number of his victims could be in the hundreds.

He confessed to murdering between 30 and 40 patients, but many people believe the true number of his victims could be in the hundreds. Unlike many serial killers, Cullen didn't feel compelled to keep souvenirs from his victims and he didn't even keep a list. So, for that reason, he has had a lot of trouble remembering just exactly who he murdered.
Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the life and crimes of Charles Cullen. This is a man who has labeled himself as an "Angel of Death" and has tried to pass his murders off as ending the suffering of his patients. But, we know this is simply not the case. It is well known that Charles Cullen murdered people who were not suffering or dying. He simply killed because he wanted to and he may have reveled in the power to take the life of another human being.

But Cullen was no mercy killer, nor was he a simple monster. He was a favorite son, husband, beloved father, best friend, and celebrated caregiver. Implicated in the deaths of as many as 300 patients, he was also perhaps the most prolific serial killer in American history.
Cullen's murderous career in the world's most trusted profession spanned sixteen years and nine hospitals across New Jersey and Pennsylvania. When, in March of 2006, Charles Cullen was marched from his final sentencing in an Allentown, Pennsylvania, courthouse into a waiting police van, it seemed certain that the chilling secrets of his life, career, and capture would disappear with him. Now, in a riveting piece of investigative journalism nearly ten years in the making, journalist Charles Graeber presents the whole story for the first time. Based on hundreds of pages of previously unseen police records, interviews, wire-tap recordings and videotapes, as well as exclusive jailhouse conversations with Cullen himself and the confidential informant who helped bring him down, THE GOOD NURSE weaves an urgent, terrifying tale of murder, friendship, and betrayal. Were it not for the hardboiled, unrelenting work of two former Newark homicide detectives racing to put together the pieces of Cullen's professional past, and a fellow nurse willing to put everything at risk, including her job and the safety of her children, there's no telling how many more lives could have been lost.
