Kathy Augustine was a politician serving in the Nevada Senate. Shortly after her husband of 17 years died from complications of a stroke, she married Chaz Higgs, a critical care nurse whom she met while he was caring for her late husband.

William George Davis, a nurse in Tyler, Texas, was just 32 when he began a reign of terror over patients recovering from heart surgery. Prosecutors claimed that Davis had at least eleven victims, of whom seven died.
