Arrow Media is expanding its acclaimed Mind of a Monster brand with a brand-new six-part true crime podcast series: The Killer Nurse.
Between 1989 and 1995, nurse Kristen Gilbert murdered four of her patients, attempted to murder two others, and is suspected of killing dozens more at the Veterans Affairs Medical Centre in Massachusetts. Her method was chillingly subtle – injecting a hard-to-trace drug directly into her victim’s bloodstreams.
Across six gripping episodes, criminal psychologist Dr. Michelle Ward consults with detectives, journalists, victim’s families, and witnesses to examine the shocking case of Kristen Gilbert. With exclusive insights, Dr. Ward investigates Gilbert’s crimes and delves into her twisted mind, asking how she managed to kill undetected right under the noses of her colleagues.
Tom Brisley, CEO, Arrow Media says: “We are thrilled to continue expanding the Mind of a Monster brand with this powerful new instalment. This latest series on Kristen Gilbert underlines our continued ambition to grow the franchise and deliver bold, distinctive storytelling that captivates audiences. We’re proud to be at the forefront of creating content across all platforms that informs, engages, and inspires across a wide range of genres, and Mind of a Monster, is a shining example of that commitment.”
Stuart Pender, Executive Producer, The Killer Nurse, adds: “There is something very chilling about Kristen Gilbert’s crimes. She betrayed the trust of Army veterans who sought medical help but instead were tragically murdered. In this new series, we explore untold narratives to greater understand the psychology of a killer who operated with impunity. Michelle expertly guides the audience through this fascinating story that is both thought-provoking and impossible to turn away from.”
Dr Michelle Ward says: “Kristen Gilbert’s case is both shocking and deeply unsettling. Medical serial killers are among the deadliest of all predators, and as a criminal psychologist, I wanted to explore how someone in a position of care could commit such devastating crimes. This series takes listeners inside that disturbing journey, piecing together the evidence and exploring how Kristen Gilbert could become one of America’s most infamous killers.”
The Mind of a Monster Podcast, a companion to Arrow Media’s Mind of a Monster television brand, has launched several hit series, earning industry awards and recognition as one of the leading podcasts in its genre. Previous podcast series featured serial killers Jeffrey Dahmer, Aileen Wuornos and Robert Hansen – The Butcher Baker.
The Killer Nurse will be available to stream from 23rd September on all podcast platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Amazon Music. Stuart Pender is the Executive Producer, and Linda McCarthy is the Series Producer, both from Arrow Media.
