PRODUCED BY: KENS5 Eyewitness News
From KENS-TV in San Antonio, Texas, this is the story of Genene Jones: The woman known as Texas’ “killer nurse” and the vial of a powerful drug that became the smoking gun in the case against her. She was set to get out of prison on early release after serving just a third of a 99-year sentence. Investigators on the case say she is suspected in the deaths of dozens of children under her care while she was a nurse in San Antonio in the early 1980s. However, she has only been convicted of one child’s death.
In the VILE Podcast series, fast forward to 2017 when a new team of investigators is working to change that and ensure she stays behind bars.

- Episode 1: The ‘Killer Nurse’
After she was convicted of a 15-month-old baby’s death in 1984, a now-amended Texas law calls for nurse Genene Jones, a suspected serial killer of children, to walk free again… That is, until a new team of investigators worked to bring new murder charges against her more than 30 years later. KENS 5 producer Stacey Welsh, along with producer Emily Porter, is taking a look back at the history of the case and following where it stands now in VILE, a KENS 5 Eyewitness News original podcast series.
