Death Shift ~ The Tale of the Pediatric Murdering Nurse Genene Jones ~ CONCLUSION

Image
  For the conclusion of this case, I'd like to write about LVN Genene Jones' convictions and a bit more about her victims. I know we write a lot about crime and we love reading about true crime, love documentaries; anything crime related BUT I have a very bad disdain for people who harm children.  I don't know why we even house them in prison; there is a way better place for animals like them!!! Why do we waste tax-payers money on such waste of skin??? (Sorry, I don't mean to offend animals by saying that neither!!!) As of May 2016, Genene Anne Jones was held at the Lane Murray Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. As I had mentioned before, Texas has a mandatory release law that inmates can use their good behaviour for an early release; but let's just say that Texas courts were NOT going to allow Genene Jones see the light of day as a free being, ever again, if they had a say in it!!! Jones had been scheduled for mandatory release in 2018 due to the Tex

  We know now that Genene Jones was charged and convicted in 1984 for the murder and injury of a child.  I am just going to list all of the charges and sentences; since we don't have an accurate number for her victims,  I don't want to leave the families and loved ones of the unknown left off of this. Shockingly, children were over 10X as likely to die during her 3 PM to 11 PM shift than at any other time in the ICU. All these children were dying under  mysterious circumstances.  Previously stable kids suddenly stopped breathing. Others had seizures, their hearts stop, or began bleeding profusely when given injected with needles, their blood was unable to clot for some strange reason.   If there is anyone that capital punishment should be reserved for... it's Genene Anne Jones!!! One of the children LVN Jones took care of, his parents, Diana and Crecencio Hogeda, Jr., were close to. They were expecting the passing of their son at any time. Their baby, Christopher James , ba

  Genene Jones appears to have been caught red-handed, trying to cause harm, or even death to her tiny, innocent, young patients. Genene Anne Jones is considered to be one of America's most prolific child serial killers. She is responsible for the deaths of up to 60 children, that were in her care when she was a LVN in the 70s and 80s.  I am kind of surprised that it took this long for any kind of charges to come forward, especially since she had been quietly dismissed from Bexar County Hospital; under very shady circumstances as well. Hospital staff, as well as parents voiced their concerns, but it all fell on deaf ears.  When Genene Jones left to go to another medical facility, it should have been the end of it, but things only got progressively worse when more and more children were dying with a nightmarish mattern, and at a high rate of speed. Nothing stopped this sinister, woman trying to play "God" until the day she hurt 8 more children, including killing a 15-month

  Hello everyone. Today, we will be writing about a licensed vocational nurse (LVN) named Genene Jones who worked in the San Antonio, Texas in the pediatric intensive care unit at Bexar  County Hospital (aka University Hospital of San Antonio). Genene Jones was born July 13, 1950. As a young child, Genene was adopted by a nightclub owner and his wife. Genene Jones worked as a beautician right out of highschool.  She married her highschool sweetheart, and had one child before things became too difficult and the two split. Genene would work during the day and take nursing classes in the evenings. Three years after the divorce, Genene and her husband reconciled, having another child in 1977; before they parted for good. she would marry for a second time, but that was just before her indictment and she married a 19 year old nursing student; but the marriage was pretty much over, before the ink could even dry on the marriage license. As forementioned, Genene Jones began working at Bexar Co

"He's Homeless. No One Will Notice!" ~ The Disturbing Case of Brian Cohee Jr. ~ TRIAL & CONCLUSION!!!

Image
  The authorities have Brian Cohee Jr. in their custody; with both his parents in shock and traumatized over the horrendous things they are discovering their own child had done. The trial of Brian Cohee Jr, who is now 21 years old started in January 2023. Brian Jr. did as we all suspected, and plead not guilt by reason of insanity. (Remember I said how his actions are not matching his "diagnosis") The prosecution argued that during the various interrogations, Brian Cohee Jr. had confessed multiple times to different detectives that he committed the murder and the few state psychologists, who met withn Brian Jr.  had determined that he was not insane when the crime was committed. The defense attorneys were really hanging onto the reasoning of Brian Cohee Jr's actions were because of his mental health disorders. They even attempted victim blaming, saying it was Warren Barnes who triggered Cohee, which technically made him insane during the murder. The trial from beginning

  The authorities don't know it, but they just helped their newest murderer just escape his very own crime scene... with THEIR help!!! On March 1st, 2021, 3 days after Brian Cohee Jr. callously murdered am innocemt, homeless vagrant under a bridge in Grand Junction, Colorado; hie mother, Terri Cohee finds unspeakable things inside her son's bedroom. After, Terri Cohee became suspicious of her 19 year old son, Brian's story about getting stuck in the river, she decided to do some of her own snooping.  As a mother, I could not imagine how I would react to what she uncovered. Terri opened his closet and discovered Warren Barnes' head in a garbage bag. Terri became extremely frightened of her own son, calling the police; who rushed over to their home. She gave them permission to enter the home; and since it was her and husband, Brian Sr's home; they didn't need consent to search his belongings or bedroom. The detectives discovered the head in the sink, where Terri h

  I am going to continue with the actual crime itself, and I wanted to write this as a separate entry, because this part is rather graphic and extremely disturbing.... to the point, that I am posting this as a TRIGGER WARNING!!! As I had already stated, Brian Cohee Jr, was on a mission that fatal day. He had been plotting for well over half a year to murder someone... anyone; although his choice would have been preferably a prostitute or homeless person; because they are less likely to be missed!!! "He's homeless. No one with notice!!!" The next minutes are devastating, not just writing about them, but to even imagine how someone who is innocently sleeping, trusting the environment to keep them safe; only to encounter someone like this despicable person. Unfortunately for Warren Barnes, Brian Cohee spotted him sleeping and went quickly towards him. Like the coward he was, Cohee was wearing a mask, 3 layers of gloves and was carrying a butcher knife to use in the attack. H

  Good Day everyone. I hope the day finds you well. Today, I will be writing about the bizarre case involving Brian Cohee Jr. I guess to attempt to get into his mind a bit, we will need to dig a little into his younger years and mental health. Bear with me as I gather the proper information so that we may all be on the same page, so to speak... Brian Cohee Jr, appears to have been raised in a reasonably "normal" household with both his parents. There were never any reports of child abuse nor neglect; so zero involvement with CPS/DCFS. He had his mental disorders to cope with, and was on the autism spectrum, but by all accounts, he was not raised in an abusive environment. Brian had been on medications for ADHD, anxiety and autism since he was 5 years old, and this would come into play later when he was arrested and in court; but as I always say... "Mental health is not an excuse for bad behaviour; people still need to be held accountable for their actions." (and yes

Amy Loughren was conflicted with the role she played in getting her friend and colleague Charles Cullen to confess to her; but in the end, she did the right thing. Pretty much right after his confession to Amy Loughren, Charles Cullen was arrested; but it appeared Amy wasn't finished with her part of the investigation.  Cullen refused to speak to the police detectives, so once again, the authorities asked her to intervene on their behalf. Surprisingly, Charles Cullen did confess to a number of the murders he committed over the years. He confessed to approximately 40; but experts believe the numbers are much closer to 400 patients!!! As I had just stated, Charles Cullen confessed to murdering 40 of his patients; saying these were the ones that he could remember all the specific details of. Authorities and experts of the case, knew there were many more; but couldn't determine which ones he was directly responsible for, and which ones happened indirectly from him, with the help of

As I had mentioned this case will be in 5 parts, as it is quite a lengthy case; too much to cram into only 4 parts, I am not even into the investigation part yet... Amy Loughren was working the nightshift with Charles Cullen in the intensive care unit (ICU) when things started to seem a little suspicious. The number of deaths were escalating.  It finally came to head when the death of patient, Reverend Florian Gall occurred. He had been improving quite nicely; then suddenly he passed away; triggering an investigation.  The authorities came to see Amy Loughren about their patient's death and after she reviewed the file herself, she agreed that something was amiss. She definitely knew something was wrong when she saw in the documentation that the medications her colleague Charles Cullen ordered didn't make sense. She told investigators, “There were so many withdrawals of lethal medications that you wouldn't order unless you wanted to kill someone.” Amy didn't want to be i

I am appalled at the amount of information on this case, so I had to divide all the things involved in the Charles Cullen "Angel of Death" story... This man is just despicable.  I also had to jump a bit back and forth between his personal life and his professional life; as they do really coincide with each other. When one begins to fall apart, the crime spree seems to escalate...  It appears that Charles Cullen's personal life was just as out-of-control and unstable as he was. After the breakdown of his marriage, to Adrienne Baum ended partially because she claimed he was “extreme cruelty,” Cullen asked a nurse by the name of Michelle Tomlinson out to dinner. It didn't take long for Michelle Tomlinson to learn why his ex-wife was so afraid of him and had a restraining order out on him because Charles became very obsessive and erratic with her. Michelle, like Adrienne had to involve law enforcement, and according to a police report, she filed, Michelle Tomlinson said C

  Remember in part 1 I said I'd have to bounce back a bit, for the story to make sense? I needed to get the personal part of his life out of the way, in order to begin with all the sinster and evil things he did.... Here we go... Shortly after his discharge from the US Navy, Charles Cullen enrolled at Mountainside Hospital's nursing school in Montclair, New Jersey.  (This might explain his fascination with medical scrubs, gloves and masks while working on the submarine... maybe it became kind of a fetish for him???)    He was so welcomed and liked in his classes that he was then elected president of his nursing class, he graduated in 1986 and started work at the burn unit of Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, New Jersey. In 1988, while working at Saint Barnabas Medical Center , a mere 2 years into his career, he committed what is now believed to be the first time he murdered one of his patients, 72-year-old Municipal Court Judge named John W. Yengo Sr.  His method???

  Today we are writing about someone, most people may know about, or at least heard some part of this story; especially if you spent a fair amount of time in any type of medical facility. This blurb is going to have a massive amount of victims, because it is believed that there are approximately 400, possibly more... so please get comfy as I try to give these victims' some justice... Let me begin with the assailant/unsuspecting murderer... His name is Charles Cullen. He was born on February 22, 1960, in West Orange, New Jersey to Edmond and Florence Cullen (nee Ward). Florence was a very young war bride. She was merely 17 years old when she migrated to America after World War II; marrying pretty much as soon as she arrived to the United States of America. As most families back then, his was a devote Catholic and part of a working class family. He was the his seven siblings.  Charles didn't really get a chance to form a bond with his father, as Edmond, who drove a bus died when
