Profile

Infamous person, murderer, nurse. Born July 13, 1950, and given up for adoption. Genene Jones worked as a beautician before going into nursing in 1977. She worked at several hospitals in the San Antonio, Texas, area before transferring to a medical clinic in the early 1980s.

It is believed that while working at Bexar County Medical Center Hospital Genene Jones killed between 11 and 46 infants and children who were in her care by injecting them with heparin and succinylcholine. The exact number of murders remains unknown because after the first conviction, hospital officials destroyed records of her activities to prevent further litigation and public outrage.

In 1985, Jones was convicted of two crimes: the murder of Chelsea McClellan and the attempted murder of Rolando Santos. She was sentenced to 99 years in prison, but will receive parole in 2017 due to a law in place at the time of her sentencing to reduce prison overcrowding.
