There’s been an update in the “Angel of Death” serial killer case which recently rocked Western Pennsylvania. Heather Pressdee says she “felt bad for their quality of life.” The state’s Attorney General issued a statement with some additional details which answer at least a few of the public’s burning questions.
Serial Killer meant well
The 40-year-old nurse who also happens to be a serial killer murdered two of her patients in a Western Pennsylvania care home and almost got a third.
According to Attorney General Michelle Henry, Heather Pressdee of Natrona Heights has been charged with “homicide, attempted murder, aggravated assault, neglect of a care-dependent person and reckless endangerment”
The accused serial killer allegedly caused the deaths of a 55-year-old man and an 83-year-old man. She also poisoned a third patient, a 73-year-old man, who has recovered from the acute effects of an insulin overdose.

Two of the three victims weren’t even diabetic so the injections were obviously intentional. She apparently took some pointers from the nurse who murdered eight of her patients at the VA Medical Center in West Virginia.
Because insulin is known as the preferred weapon of choice for Angel of Death serial killers, it’s generally kept under tight control. Officials at the Quality Life Services retirement nursing facility, in Chicora, aren’t talking about how the insulin could flow through the facility like water without notice.
“The allegations in this case outline the callous abuse of incredibly vulnerable patients by a professional nurse.” She was also a professional killer.
Deliberate and intentional
“As the charges indicate,” Henry declared on Thursday, “these were deliberate and intentional acts perpetrated by a care-giver who was trusted to care for these victims.” Pressdee was a fully licensed registered nurse. One of her co-workers, a nurse practitioner, relates that the friendly killer told her the 83-year-old victim would be “better off dead.”
Medical practitioners no longer swear an oath to “do no harm.” That went out the window with the rise of the pharmaceutical industry. It’s impossible to administer virtually any modern medicine without causing other problems. They call those “side effects” and say they’re “harmless.” Maybe they are.
As reflected in the update, police “arrived at Pressdee’s home on Wednesday and interviewed the suspect.” She didn’t bother trying to obstruct the investigation and cooperated fully. She “apparently admitted to injecting two of the victims with insulin.” More importantly, during her interrogation police allowed her to take a phone call. Something along the lines of Hi mom, can’t talk now the police are here.

“I gave patients insulin that didn’t need it.” She admitted being a killer to the investigators. August 31, 2022, “was a very busy night.” The 83-year-old who survived “was in COVID isolation and having a very difficult time.” He “asked her to ‘kill him.’” So, she tried.
The killer told police that it was similar for all of her victims. She “felt bad for their quality of life and hoped that they would just slip into a coma and pass away.” Two of them did. That we know about.
The care home insists they will continue to “fully cooperate with the Attorney General’s Office as needed in the investigation and prosecution of this matter.” There’s no reason for families to pull their loved ones from their care, they assure. “All residents of Quality Life Services – Chicora are safe and are receiving appropriate care and service.“
