Maureen Pickering Murder Update: Where Is The Serial Killer Now
Elizabeth Wettlaufer murdered eight elderly people, including Maureen Pickering.
A registered nurse at Caressant Care, she began to inject insulin into some of her patients sometime in 2007. Her early victims were sisters Clotilde Adriano (87) and Albina Demedeiros (88), who later died. However, the court didn’t charge her for their seats but charged her with two counts of aggravated assault.
On 11 August 2007, Elizabeth killed James Silcox (84). Her murder spree went on for seven long years in which she took the lives of six other people at Caressant Care. They were Maurice “Moe” Granat (84), Gladys Millard (87), Helen Matheson (95), Mary Zurawinski (96), Helen Young (90), and Maureen Pickering (79).
Likewise, she also had intentions of murdering Michael Priddle (63) and Wayne Hedges (57). In 2014, she left her job at Caressant Care. But, she worked part-time in other facilities and injected three more people, Arpad Horvath (75), Sandra Towler (77), and Beverly Bertram (68). Out of them, Arpad died, while the other two survived.
Then on 16 September 2016, she joined the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). She eventually confessed to a staff of the Toronto-based psychiatric hospital about the murders/attempted murders. The confession led the organization to alert the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) and the Toronto Police Service.
And on 25 October, the police formally charged her with the eight murders. Moreover, they added four counts of attempted murder and two counts of aggravated assault on 13 January 2017.
On 1 June, Elizabeth confessed her crimes to the court and received a life sentence without parole for 25 years on the 26th.
Since then, she served her time at Grand Valley Institution for Women in Kitchener, Ontario, until March 2018. Her health issues led the officials to relocate her to an undisclosed Montreal facility.
Elizabeth Wettlaufer Background Story
Elizabeth Wettlaufer was born on 10 June 1967 in Zorra Township, Woodstock, Ontario.
She grew up in a committed Baptist household. A Huron Park Secondary School graduate, she completed her bachelors in religious education counseling at London Baptist Bible College. Later on, she received her nursing education from Conestoga College.
Elizabeth’s career as a registered nurse began in 2007 with Caressant Care. While there, she struggled with substance abuse and alcoholism. And after having four suspensions for medication-realted errors, the care home fired her in March 2014. She reportedly gave the wrong medication to a patient.
After that, she had some temporary jobs. On her desire to kill, she used to write poetry.
