    "The Angel of Death" Genene Jones

    It's "Murdery" Monday and Branden tells us the story of Genene Jones. Dubbed, "The Angel of Death" by the American media, Jones is responsible for the deaths of up to 60 infants and children in her care as a licensed vocational nurse during the 1970s and 1980s. Parallels are often made of Jones and infamous nurse Annie Wilkes from Stephen King's, Misery.

Yes

I have only listened to one episode so far, but it is so refreshing to listen to a podcast with more than one person when they let the storyteller finish without interrupting with unfunny jokes, or moaning, groaning and sighing about how horrible the story being told is. I look forward to listening to more thank you.

Excellent Series! Highly Recommend!

As a lover of all things mystery and true crime, I am thoroughly enjoying the stories featured on the 3AM Mystery Club! The formatting of the show is also great; an explanation of events surrounding each episode’s dedicated mystery, followed by a discussion between the hosts. I especially appreciate Derric’s knack for discovering little-known, yet captivating stories with twists and turns that leave you confused as to what could have transpired. I highly recommend this series to all fellow mystery lovers!

Rainbow Murders

Would have been nice if more information were looked up. Being from the area and knowing the story well, this was not even close to being correct.
