Hi, I’m Mollye Barrows, a longtime reporter in Florida’s Panhandle and welcome to my investigative series, Gulf Coast Confidential. Here I dive into the saltier stories that surface in Northwest Florida and all along the Gulf of Mexico.

My co-host is Pam Hill. Her sister was killed by her own son on Christmas Eve 2013, and Pam has a unique perspective on many of the cases I talk about on Gulf Coast Confidential. 

In this episode, “The Bad Nurse,” we’re talking about the case of Charles “Charlie” Cullen, one of the most prolific serial killers in America. He copped to 29 murders, but investigators believe the number could be closer to 400.

The movie, “The Good Nurse” on Netflix, is based on a true-crime book of the same name and it shows how the confessed killer moved from hospital to hospital, killing people, and the corporate healthcare system allowed him to get away with it. 

Cullen might have continued killing had it not been for his fellow nurse and friend, Amy Loughren.

Here's more on how she helped stop “The Bad Nurse.”
