GENENE JONES

- MURDERER -

G'day folks,

Here is something different, and rather gruesome. Genene Jones murdered somewhere between 11 to 46 children while working at a Texas medical center. She was sentenced to 99 years in prison in 1985.

Genene Jones was born in Texas on July 13, 1950. She went into nursing in 1977. While working at Bexar County Medical Center Hospital, Jones gave deadly injections to somewhere between 11 to 46 children. The exact number is unknown because hospital officials destroyed records. She was convicted in 1985 and sentenced to 99 years in prison. She will be up for parole in 2017.

Genene Jones was born on July 13, 1950, in San Antonio, Texas, and given up for adoption. Jones worked as a beautician before going into nursing in 1977. She worked at several hospitals in the San Antonio, Texas, area before transferring to a medical clinic in the early 1980s.

It is believed that while working at Bexar County Medical Center Hospital, Genene Jones killed between 11 and 46 infants and children who were in her care by injecting them with heparin and succinylcholine. The exact number of murders remains unknown because after the first conviction, hospital officials destroyed records of her activities to prevent further litigation and public outrage.

In 1985, Jones was convicted of two crimes: the murder of Chelsea McClellan and the attempted murder of Rolando Santos. She was sentenced to 99 years in prison, but is scheduled to receive parole in 2017 due to a law in place at the time of her sentencing to reduce prison overcrowding.
