Hospital Respiratory Therapist Who Denied Being a Serial Killer Charged With Murder of 2nd Patient

Hospital Respiratory Therapist Who Denied Being a Serial Killer Charged With Murder of 2nd Patient

A former hospital respiratory therapist suspected of being involved in the deaths of nine patients under her care was formally charged on Wednesday with first-degree murder in connection with the death of a 37-year-old patient.

According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, prosecutors accuse Jennifer Anne Hall of killing David Wesley Harper, 37, more than 20 years ago on March 21, 2002, by "administering unprescribed pharmaceuticals to him" at a Chillicothe, Mo., hospital.

Harper was battling bronchitis when he was admitted to Hendrick Medical Center on March 18, 2002.

Three days later, Hall, now 42, allegedly told nursing staff she entered Harper's room and found him seated on the edge of his bed. Harper allegedly told her he felt ill before falling backward on his bed in "complete respiratory arrest," Hall said, per the documents. He later died.

DA drops felony charge against officer in train crash case

DA drops felony charge against officer in train crash case

Prosecutors have dismissed the most serious charge against a Colorado police officer who locked a handcuffed woman in a parked police car that was hit by a freight train, leaving her with serious injuries.

The Weld County District Attorney’s office dismissed the second-degree felony assault charge against Officer Jordan Steinke on Thursday, according to court documents. Steinke and another officer still face less serious charges in connection with the Sept. 16, 2022 incident.

The collision occurred after multiple law enforcement agencies responded to a report of a road rage incident in Fort Lupton, Colorado. A Platteville police officer stopped Yareni Rios' car just past a set of railroad tracks and parked the patrol vehicle on the crossing. Another officer handcuffed Rios and placed her in the back of the police vehicle, which was hit by the train as officers were searching her car.

DA: Woman in KPD custody died of stroke, no charges to be filed

DA: Woman in KPD custody died of stroke, no charges to be filed

There will be no criminal charges filed against Knoxville Police Department officers involved in the arrest of Lisa Edwards, officials with the District Attorney’s office announced Tuesday.

An autopsy concluded that Edwards, who was taken into custody by KPD officers at Fort Sanders Medical Center, died of a stroke, DA officials announced.

After an investigation by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, officials concluded that Edwards had previously suffered a stroke that left her wheelchair-bound. She took a flight from a nursing home in Rhode Island on Feb. 4, during which she began complaining of abdominal pain, officials said. Upon landing in Knoxville, Edwards was reportedly taken to Blount Memorial Hospital, where she was diagnosed with constipation.

Edwards then sought additional treatment at Fort Sanders, officials said, and was discharged around 7 a.m. Feb. 5. After being discharged, Edwards reportedly refused to leave the premises, so the KPD was called. Those officers decided to arrest Edwards, officials said, and called a wagon to transport her in. When the officers were unable to load her into the wagon, they called a patrol car, according to the DA’s office.

Officers reportedly placed Edwards into the patrol car and the driver was on the way to a detention facility when the officer noticed Edward had become unresponsive. Edwards was taken by ambulance back to Fort Sanders where she was placed on life support and died, officials said.
