Getting to the Heart of the Matter. Content Warning.
I try to stay abreast of the news (local, state, national, and international.) I do this mainly from the headlines I glance over. Anything beyond that, can lead me to depression, anger, and despair.

Diane Downs May 19 1983, the night Springfield Oregon was turned upside down. It's 10:48 p.m. at Mackenzie William Hospital. A family car has become an ambulance. Children have been shot.

Cheryl had already expired. Dr. Stephen and his medical team tried to save the two surviving children.

These children would gradually lose consciousness, they would be experiencing pain and their blood pressure would gradually drop. Doctors and nurses work frantically in a race against the clock. Medical attention would have to be received before critical levels of oxygen had stopped reaching the brain, at which point they would become brain-dead.

Vampire Lesbian Killer
Tracey Wiggington Between excitement and murder, the idea of a thrill kill shocks every society, wherever it happens. One morning the Australian city of Brisbane awoke to news of a most horrific murder. He was covered in blood, absolutely coding blood. In October 1989 detective Pat Clancy gets a case he'll never forget. I've seen some shockers believe me. This murder scene would write up here among the Tubman's. At the crime scene a naked father of five lay dead. He appeared to be stabbed in his throat, savagely slashed. When the body was rolled over. I truly thought that the head was going to detach from the body. It just almost went its own way and it was a most uncomfortable. Who could commit such a brutal crime. That first day no one could have guessed, I'd think we even considered the idea of it being a female.

The motivation was obscure, the location unusual, the perpetrators unexpected. If this was a shocker of the world, what really happened here in Vienna, Max heads criminal investigations in Vienna's South District. In 1989 he and his team were called to the Lions General Hospital, this is the one of the darkest Hospital. They're specially dealing with very elder people. In the preceding three years an alarming number of elderly patients were dying in just one wing, pavilion five. Investigators soon found out why. It's so terrible because you never would expect in a hospital that this is a murder station. Angels of Death nurses, who kill patients usually act alone and never tell anyone, not so in this case. Angels of Death are often motivated by sympathy for their victims or a lust for attention, in pavilion 5 the motivation was very different.
