August 28, 1982 - Heather Pressdee
A registered nurse working across five Pennsylvania nursing homes, Pressdee administered lethal doses of insulin to patients in her care — a population among the most vulnerable to undetected harm. Authorities linked her to the deaths of 17 patients in total, though she was convicted on three counts of murder and 19 counts of attempted murder. She told her attorney she believed she was ending her victims' suffering, a justification that placed her within a documented pattern of healthcare workers who have used proximity and medical access to cause patient deaths at scale.
