A former Texas nurse known as the “angel of death” for
allegedly having killed up to 60 babies was served a new murder warrant
linking her to the death of an infant boy more than 30 years ago, a
district attorney said on Friday.
Genene Jones, 66, was sentenced to 99 years in prison after
being convicted of giving a fatal overdose to 15-month-old Chelsea
McClellan in 1982. She was suspected by prosecutors of having given
fatal injections to between 40 to 60 infants and toddlers.
“She has been suspected in dozens of infant deaths, she has
only been held accountable for one,” Bexar County District Attorney
Nicholas LaHood told reporters on Friday.
LaHood said new evidence has been found to bring the new
indictment charging her with the murder of then 11-month-old Joshua
Sawyer in 1981.
