Lucy Letby is one of England's most notorious female killers. In 2015, infants began dying in the NICU at an alarming rate at the Countess of Chester Hospital in Chester, Chesire, England. It was like nothing the hospital had experienced before or since. Nurse Lucy Letby was making infants sick, and many of them died.

Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the notorious Lucy Letby. Even though people voiced their suspicions to upper management at the hospital, nothing was done, and more infants died. When the details of what happened came out, the public was shocked and disgusted. Letby was convicted but continues claiming she is innocent, so she has never revealed her true motivations. But many believe she wanted to play the hero or get the attention of a married doctor for whom she had feelings.

On Friday, July 14th, 2023, 59-year-old Rex Andrew Heuermann was arrested for several unsolved murders. Heuermann has so far been charged with three murders.

Join Mike and Morf as they discuss this breaking news on what has been a highly discussed topic in the true crime community for many years.
