'I knew that monster needed to be behind bars, but I was also putting my friend Charlie behind bars.'
“I was scared shitless. It was terrifying going in, especially when they wired me up, saw my scar of a recent pacemaker implantation and the detective said ‘no, we can’t put this wire on you.’ I said, ‘Yes you can. I’m a cardiac nurse, I know I’ll be ok.’ He went to his colleague and they talked about shutting this down, so I had to talk them into it. The truth is I didn’t know how this would affect my heart, but I knew I needed to go in there and get that confession.
I wanted to be part of this, so that I could shine a light on those victims because so many people believe he was a mercy killer and we have white washed people into thinking that his victims were already too sick to survive.“When he found out that I had been working for the New Jersey Crown Prosecution that was the last time he answered my letters. Up until then, I saw him in prison maybe dozens of times.
I knew that monster needed to be behind bars, but I was also putting my friend Charlie behind bars. I struggled with that. Also, the guilt of knowing that my patient had been harmed - people who I was supposed to protect had been harmed in my care. It was another reason I wanted to be part of this, so that I could shine a light on those victims because so many people believe he was a mercy killer and we have white washed people into thinking that his victims were already too sick to survive.
“I went on an intense spiritual quest after all this because I wanted to believe he was a mercy killer and I wanted to understand why I loved someone so dark. I found that answer and, the fact is, I see the light in people. I can look beyond someone’s darkness and see the light. It does not mean that I don’t hold them accountable, it means I have a gift rather than a curse. The journey to peace is a daily journey.
