Chillicothe

The former respiratory therapist’s lawyer had said she would turn herself in on for the murder charge from a patient death that occurred 20 years ago at a Missouri hospital. Police in Overland Park, Kansas, arrested her for identity theft on Thursday.

Over the course of a few months in 2002, nine patients at a hospital in Chillicothe, Missouri, died under unexplained circumstances. Now, a prosecutor has charged a former hospital employee with murdering one of them.
