#861 - Dr Marissa Harrison - The Dark Psychology Of Female Serial Killers

I could say that right now, not my research, but some other research has suggested that I don't know if a nurse goes bad. I think maybe sometimes that personality type goes into the field. I don't know if it's to have the control. I don't know if it's to save thyself. I have the urge to kill people. Let me help them. I'm not sure. But I do think maybe that kind of person goes into the field.

Now, that being said, please let me say this. Almost every nurse or almost every mom that's ever lived and will ever live will never hurt somebody like that, let alone become a serial killer. We know that. But that's just speaking to the extreme. And that's the research field that I've entered.

OK, so if and this is really awful, but I've read some, you know, I've created some case studies from from history. I put the data together where there were people that I'm going to give you an example. There was a female serial killer in Connecticut, United States at the turn of the last century. So, you know, Civil War time in the United States and thereafter. Her name was Lydia Sherman.

And she was a serial killer. She killed her own kids. She killed her stepkids. She killed several husbands, gave them arsenic. And when she finally admitted, yeah, yeah, I did this. Why did you kill your kids? Well, you know, my husband lost his job and the little kids couldn't really do anything. They couldn't do anything for me. They couldn't do anything for themselves.

So I got them out of the way. She quote unquote hurried them into eternity was the quote. So Getting them out of the way. Is that angel of mercy in some weird, you know, reimagined terrible angle? I guess. Now, in terms of nurses, I have read cases where somebody said, well, they were sick. I was doing them a favor. Yeah, right.

But take, for example, the case of Kristen Gilbert, who was a serial killer from Massachusetts, United States in the mid, maybe the late 80s, up to the mid-1990s. There was one disabled veteran she killed. His name was Kenneth Cutting. He was a really nice guy. He was in his 40s in the hospital. She asked her supervising nurse, if this guy dies, can I leave early and go home?

And he wasn't on death's door or anything. And the supervisor said, sure. Sure enough, Kenneth died by the end of her shift. She caused him to have a heart attack. So that's just getting somebody out of the way. So angel of mercy, maybe we have experienced that in our society at times, but I don't buy it. Whose mercy are you defining? Whose mercy are you executing?
