"Nurse's 'Murderous Rage' Unleashed in Hollywood Copycat Patient Slayings, Investigators Reveal"

Heather Irene Pressdee, a former veterinary technician-turned-nurse in Pennsylvania, is suspected of being a serial killer who lost 17 patients and injured more. Investigators believe she had a "murderous rage" and may have been a "budding serial killer" even before becoming a nurse. Pressdee is accused of injecting patients with potentially lethal doses of insulin, including those who were not diabetic. She allegedly timed the doses to ensure the victims would expire before the next shift change. The case draws comparisons to the notorious serial killer nurse Charles Cullen. Pressdee has been charged with multiple counts of murder, attempted murder, and neglect of a care-dependent person. Investigators believe there may be more victims and are urging anyone with information to come forward.
