Is he really the most prolific serial killer in history? Did no one else raise the alarm? And was that really his motive?

In fact, several nurses at hospitals where Cullen had previously worked tried to alert the authorities. Seven nurses at St. Luke’s Hospital in Pennsylvania persuaded the Pennsylvania State Police in August 2002 to come to the hospital after Cullen had taken up an offer to resign, later telling the Lehigh County district attorney’s office that they suspected a former colleague had been found mishandling medication and might have been involved in the deaths of several patients.

In 1998, after an elderly patient with a suspected insulin overdose was rushed from a nursing home where Cullen worked, Kimberly Pepe, the nurse who had cared for the patient on the overnight shift, denied repeatedly that she had given the patient insulin. Instead, she asserted that Cullen, who was caring for another patient in the room, might have been responsible. At first, Pepe’s supervisors agreed that Cullen was probably the guilty party, but then they changed their minds.
