Info:

Angel of death, Genene Jones is responsible for up to 60 death of children and infants that had been left in her care, the exact number is unkown.

Jones worked as a licensed vocational nurse in San Antonio, she was specifically in the pediatric intensive care unit, and tragically an unusually high number of children died while under her care. Even more tragically is the fact that instead of dealing with the issue at had, the hospital, for fear of being sued, asked all of the LVN’s on staff (including Jones) to resign.

After leaving that position, she began working at a pediatricians clinic in Kerrville, Texas it was at this job that she would be charged with poisoning six children. The in office doctor noticed puncture marks on a bottle in the drug storage room in which Jones was the only person with access. The drug that she was giving to children cause temporary paralysis of all skeletal muscles, as well as the muscles that control breathing causing the person given this drug to not be able to breath on their own. In small children it causes cardiac arrest due to lack of respiration.

Genene Jones was sentenced to 99 years in prison, her claim for causing these deaths were because she was trying to stimulate the creation of a pediatric intensive care unit. She will not be eligible for parole until she is about 87 years old.

and then there was a gross old vampire story

In Nov 1985, in Brevard county Fl a nude teenage girl is found crawling along side the road, both her hands and feet are handcuffed. Sadly, numerous vehicles pass by the poor girl until someone finally stops to help her, when she gets into the truck , she begs the driver to not taker her back “to that house” he noted the location and called for police and an ambulance.

Once at the hospital it is determined the girl is missing over 40% of her blood, they also find ligature marks on her kneck.

Her story is that she had been out hitchicking the day before and was picked up by a man who said he would take her where she needed to go, but he had to make a stop at his home first. He invited her into his house (she refused) he then got in the back seat of the car and chocked her into unconsciousness. The girl was put through hell over the next few days, rape, torture, he even extracted her blood to drink it, telling her he was a vampire.

A search warrant was served to John Crutchley, whose wife and children happened to be away for the Thanksgiving holiday. As the story goes on and the case is built it gets grosser and grosser as Crutchley’s wife has his back, and there are video tapes found and he is convicted and then let out only to be arrested again days later.

In the end however, John Crutchley died in prison, he was found in his cell with a plastic bag over his head.
