My friend was a serial killer and I had to stop him
When US nurse Amy Loughren discovered that her colleague and confidant had been murdering patients, she went undercover to get him to confess.
Amy Loughren was working as a critical care nurse at a hospital in New Jersey, US, when she befriended a new colleague, Charles Cullen. The two became very close, working most of their shifts together and supporting each other practically and emotionally. But in October 2003 Cullen was abruptly fired from his job. Amy was shown evidence by police that he had been withdrawing deadly medicines with alarming frequency, and was being investigated for the murder of a patient. It was the beginning of a horrifying set of revelations, and Amy would have to help bring her friend to justice.
