A former Pennsylvania nurse, arrested in May for the murder of two patients, has confessed to trying to kill more than a dozen other people, according to authorities.
Heather Pressdee, 41, of Natrona Heights, allegedly admitted to trying to end the lives of 19 additional patients with toxic doses of insulin at five different nursing homes, according to a complaint.
“Pressdee is accused of administering excessive amounts of insulin to these patients, some of whom were diabetic and required insulin, some of whom were not. In total, 17 patients died who had been cared for by Pressdee,” according to a press release from the Pennsylvania Attorney General.
She is charged with two counts of first-degree murder, 17 counts of attempted murder and 19 counts of neglect of a care-dependent person over a five-year period. Her alleged victims range in age from 43 to 104.
“[Pressdee]stated that she felt bad for their quality of life, and she had hoped that they would just slip into a coma and pass away,” investigators wrote in the complaint.
The former veterinary technician, who was involved in putting animals to sleep in her prior career, often worked the medication carts at these facilities, administering insulin during the night shift when staffing was lowest, the police document alleges.
“Pressdee often took steps to ensure her victims would expire prior to shift change so that they wouldn’t be sent to the hospital where her scheme could be discovered through medical test,” according to police.
If Pressdee suspected the victim would “pull through” after receiving a megadose of insulin, she would allegedly administer a second dose or inject the patient with air to ensure their death, court papers allege.
Investigators obtained a search warrant for Pressdee’s cellphone, which revealed an obsession with murder and death. In text messages to her mother, she allegedly wrote of a resident, “I can’t with this lady. She’s going to get pillow therapy.”
In at least three separate text messages, she threatened to kill a “man at Taco Bell,” a “pizza man” and an “Arbys guy.”
Alarmed staff at the Belair Healthcare and Rehabilitation told the director of operations that there was a pattern of patients dying during Pressdee’s shifts.
However, an internal investigation concluded that there was no evidence to support the claims – even though five patients died under Pressdee’s direct care in 10 months, the complaint says. She worked there from April 2021 to February 2022.
At Sunnyview Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, Pressdee began working as a manager in January 2023, where four patients allegedly died on her watch. A nursing assistant told police that Pressdee often said that patients “just needed to die.”
Amid the criminal investigation, Pressdee’s nursing license was suspended in July 2023.
“It is hard to comprehend how a nurse, trusted to care for her patients, could choose to deliberately and systematically harm them,” Attorney General Michelle Henry said. “The damage done to the victims and their loved ones cannot be overstated.”
Pressdee was arraigned Thursday and is being held without bail at Butler County Prison.
So she took it upon herself to play God and get to decide who lives & dies?! I wonder how many poor animals she also killed unnecessarily. We know she doesn’t care about human life. I was a registered nurse for 15 yrs & worked primarily in inpatient mental health. People would just not believe some of the people who we are walking amongst every day, who are insane. Many, who are well educated! Crazy doesn’t discriminate. I used to have this nurse as a patient. Ironically she also worked inpatient psych but at another hospital. She went batshit crazy. Jumping off tables, taking her clothes off, screeching like a monkey. She eventually committed suicide. It’s a sad world we live in though where we can’t even trust those who have allegedly given their lives to helping people.
There is overwhelming CREDIBLE proof nursing home management knew of the tie-in between her and the patients LONG before she was found out but said/did nothing for fear of legal action. They should be held liable also for an extended time prior to the discovery.
My wife and I are both in our early 70’s, (she’s 70, I’m 72). We’re both in excellent health after getting confirmed reports from 3 different sources that we both got COVID in January 2020, the week the news broke nationwide. We haven’t been sick since. However, things have changed DRASTICALLY concerning hospital care since then. Long story short: Hospitals used to be in the business of making you well. Now, hospitals are being paid 4-5x more if they can produce your death, (via the COVID flu shot). Hospitals used to get an $8K processing fee for each death in the hospital. Now, (and since May 21, 2020), EVERY person who dies, (no matter where or from what), gets tested for COVID. Every doctor, every M.E., every health care licensed professional who can document ’cause of death’ has to administer the test to the deceased. Whether they’re asymptomatic or not, if they test positive, the hospital gets $38K.
Think about that for a second. If only 4 people die in a hospital in one week, that’s $38Kx4=$152K extra for the month, x12=$1,824,000 EXTRA for the year. Even for a hospital – that’s not ‘chump change’.
We have written proof that hospitals are now giving the clot shot in different forms other than w/ a needle. They now have liquid form ampules which they slip into IV’s totally unknown to the patient. My wife and I have made a pact: If sickness strikes, no matter how sick we are or what we may believe the ailment is, we are NOT going to a hospital. WE WILL DIE AT HOME, and/or whenever God decides to take us.
This entire country is being run by global elites who are facilitating their NWO agenda unabated, which includes the eradication of 90% of the world population, and Big Pharma, the media, the medical community, and most of Congress are nothing more than puppets doing their bidding.
