I would love to know if I am the only person interested in the serial killer Kristen Gilbert or what? And does anyone know any intyeresting facts about what made that girl do what she did.

Wow--a female serial killer?! They're a pretty rare breed!

I'm afraid the name doesn't ring a bell.

Can you tell me more about her? :)

There's a pretty good book about female serial killers titled "Murder Most Rare".

Kristen Gilbert was a nurse at a VA hospital in Massachusetts who killed her patients in the ICU for the adventure of it. The motive is a tossup. Maybe for the thrill of inventing a medical crisis. Maybe for self gratification. Maybe for some kind of sexual thrill. It has been debated over and over and no one has the definative answer. Unless the person with the answer is reading this article as I am typing.
