She wasn’t a monster in the shadows — she was a nurse at your bedside.
In this chilling episode, we uncover the twisted life of Jane Toppan, the 19th-century caregiver who confessed to murdering at least 31 people — not out of hatred, but for pleasure. A seemingly cheerful and devoted nurse, “Jolly Jane” used her position to experiment with fatal doses of morphine and atropine, holding patients as they died… and enjoying every second.
Before Charles Cullen or Beverley Allitt, there was Toppan — America’s first documented female serial killer of the medical kind.
We dive deep into:
Her traumatic childhood and fractured identity
The experimental murders that began under hospital supervision
The intimate betrayals of her victims, including her own foster sister
Her psychological profile — and why she was declared insane but brilliant
The legacy she left behind in criminal profiling and forensic psychiatry
Trust us: this story isn’t just about a killer nurse — it’s about how easily trust can become a weapon.
