The Angel of Death: Elizabeth Wettlaufer...

Crime House
About this episode

Growing up in a strict religious household, Elizabeth Wettlaufer had to repress her sexual identity. The years of lies took a toll on her, and she turned to substance abuse to cope. As a nurse, Elizabeth had easy access to drugs -- and she spiraled out of control. Eventually, the dam burst and Elizabeth took out her anger on the patients she was trying to save... and became a serial killer known as "the Angel of Death."
