How The FBI Caught Appalachia's Most Trusted Serial Killer

If you want to walk up into this country and come back down alive: Otisboone.com Every one of the seven men she killed trusted her with his life. Reta Mays was a nursing assistant at the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg, West Virginia, and for almost a year she murdered elderly veterans in their hospital beds with insulin, right here in the Appalachian hills where I was raised. The men she killed had survived wars overseas and come home to grow old in peace. Not one of them walked out that door alive. In this one I tell the whole story. How the most trusted person on the ward became one of the deadliest serial killers in West Virginia history. How she chose a weapon that leaves almost nothing behind. Why a whole hospital looked the other way while old soldiers died in their sleep. And how the FBI finally caught her with no witnesses, no cameras, and no weapon left to find. This happened to our people, in our own backyard, and every one of these men deserves to be remembered. In memory of Robert Edge, Robert Kozul, Archie Edgell, George Shaw, Felix McDermott, Raymond Golden, Russell Posey, and the ninety-six-year-old veteran the court named only by his initials. Every one of them a veteran. Every one of them somebody's whole world. If you believe these veterans deserve to be remembered, subscribe and stay a while. There are more true stories from these hills than anybody should be comfortable with, and somebody ought to tell them right. This account is drawn from federal court records, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of West Virginia, and the VA Office of Inspector General report. #TrueCrime #Appalachia #SerialKiller #RetaMays #WestVirginia #Veterans #FBI #TrueCrimeCommunity #AppalachianTrueCrime #Murder #CrimeDocumentary #Justice #TrueCrimeStory
