There was a conversation with one of Gilbert’s co-workers where she asked if she would be able to leave early if he were to die because she had a date with Perrault later in the night. Kenneth Cutting was a patient who was being treat for sepsis in the ICU. It is said that his condition was due to an Epinephrine overdose. Nurses found three used containers of Epinephrine in a needle disposal bucket in the ICU after he had an episode of cardiac arrest. He was in this condition for 15 minutes before he stabilized. His heart rate was very high, beating 240 times per minute with extremely high blood pressure. He screamed that he felt like he was going to die after she had been in the room with him. Thomas Callahan was admitted into the ICU under Gilbert’s care. Toxicology tests showed that is death was caused by Epinephrine poisoning. He suffered from cardiac arrest four times before he died. It is believed that she injected him with Epinephrine three to four times. He was stable until Gilbert’s shift had started later that day. Hudon was a 35-year-old Air Force veteran who was admitted to Ward C for the flu. Henry Hudon, Thomas Callahan, Kenneth Cutting, Angelo Vella, Edward Skwira, and Francis Marier are her known victims. Because Massachusetts does not use the death penalty there was no other solution. She was sentenced to four consecutive terms in prison with no chance of parole.
#NIGHT CALL ANGEL OF DEATH KILLER SERIAL#
She uses a payphone to call the threats in and fingerprints are found on a payphone outside of an ice cream stand (When Serial Killers Strike…).
It eventually came to the point where she began calling in bomb threats to the hospital when he was working (When Serial Killers Strike…). She blocked his car in with her car and did everything she could to keep him around. Perrault tries to leave Gilbert but in an attempt to keep him she confesses to what she had done. They have a good relationship for a while but it soon falls downhill. She was seen once showing off her legs to make him like her more. She used the patients to show off to Perrault and spice up their relationship. She left her husband and moved into her own apartment so she could be with James (Poisonous Women…). A new security officer for the hospital, James Perrault, had befriended Gilbert while she was married but soon an affair started. Kristen Gilbert was married and had children with her husband, Glenn Gilbert. I believe that she killed for the power and control she got and that because that was the only way she got attention there was nothing that was going to stop her. She had the power to choose whether they lived or died and that was what ultimately took over her life. She made a hero out of herself by being able to control her patient’s lives. Soon after leaving the hospital Gilbert began calling in bomb threats using a voice changer (When Serial Killers Strike…). An investigation started and gilbert left her job once she found out she was the target and began collecting worker’s compensation for a workplace shoulder injury. Other nurses at the hospital were finding broken containers that once contained epinephrine and soon started to believe that this was connected to Gilbert (Goldberg). The victims that didn’t make it seemed to die from heart failure but it is believed that they died from Epinephrine poisoning (Poisonous Women…). They would be able to save the man and then he would go into cardiac arrest again.
It is believed that with some of her victims she injected them more than once in a short amount of time. She would then be on hand when the arrest started to save them. It is believed that she caused heart attacks in her patients by injecting Epinephrine into their bloodstream. She was called the Angel of Death because when her patients went into cardiac arrest she just happened to be near. Kristen Gilbert, also known as the Angel of Death, is known for having the most deaths on her watch at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, or the VMAC in North Hampton, Massachusetts in 1989 (Goldberg).
