About this Episode
Serial Killer Elizabeth Wettlaufer's FULL Confession to Police CHILLING!
Ontario Provincial Police conducted a 2½-hour-long
interview on Oct. 5, 2016, in which the former nurse described the
killing of patients in her care.
Elizabeth Tracy Mae Wettlaufer, born June 10, 1967, is a convicted Canadian serial killer and former registered nurse. Between 2007 and 2016, she murdered eight senior citizens and attempted to kill six others in southwestern Ontario, making her one of Canada's most notorious serial killers.
Wettlaufer's method involved administering lethal doses of insulin to her victims, exploiting her position of trust within the healthcare system. Her crimes went undetected for years, partly due to systemic failures in monitoring and reporting within the facilities where she worked. It was only after she voluntarily confessed to her actions that authorities became aware of the extent of her crimes.
In 2017, Wettlaufer was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for 25 years. Her case prompted widespread public inquiry and led to significant scrutiny of healthcare practices in Canada, resulting in recommendations aimed at preventing such tragedies in the future.
Wettlaufer's actions have been analyzed in various studies exploring healthcare professional criminality and competence, highlighting the importance of thorough background checks and the need for vigilance in the medical field to prevent similar occurrences
