She wore scrubs. She took vitals. She smiled at the families.

Then she murdered seven American veterans in cold blood.

Reta Mays was supposed to be a caregiver at the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Instead, she became one of the deadliest serial killers in state history. But this isn’t just a story about a killer nurse—it’s about the system that let her kill.

In this episode, we dig deep into:

• How Reta Mays exploited a broken VA system to fly under the radar
• The staggering number of ignored red flags—and who stayed silent
• Why the veterans she killed were devalued even in death
• How justice came too late for families who deserved answers years earlier

This isn’t just true crime—it’s a reckoning.

Because the horror didn’t happen in the shadows.

It happened on a hospital floor, under fluorescent lights, where no one was watching closely enough.

This is Rot Beneath WV. And today, we’re naming the angel of death that the government tried to bury in paperwork.
