313: Every Time This Nurse Was On Shift, Someone's Heart Stopped...
On October 30th, 2018, the largest criminal trial in modern German history opened at the Weser-Ems-Hallen ballroom. Nurse Niels Högel, a prolific “Angel of Death,” stood accused of at least 100 murders. Early on in his career, he became addicted to inducing cardiac arrest so he could heroically rescue patients, leading to countless deaths. Niels had already stood in court three times at this point, but it seemed detectives were stuck in a horrifying maze, with new cases appearing around every corner after each trial. The true number of victims is still unknown to this day.SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSRocketMoney: https://www.rocketmoney.com/LIGHTSOUTLISTEN & FOLLOWSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3SfSNbkVrfz3ceXmNr0lZ4Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lights-out/id1505843600FOLLOW LIGHTS OUTTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lightsoutcastX / Twitter: http://twitter.com/lightsoutcastInstagram: http://instagram.com/lightsoutcastMERCH & TOPIC REQUESTSMerch: http://milehighermerch.com/Request a topic: https://zfrmz.com/Sp6vsxGQrNoHUfDzvGnNSuggestions/comments: lop@milehigher.comPodcast sponsor inquiries: adops@audioboom.comHOST: JOSHX / Twitter: http://twitter.com/milehigherjoshInstagram: http://instagram.com/milehigherjoshCO-HOST: IANInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ifarme/EDITOR / PRODUCER: DANIELInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/horrororeoRESEARCH SOURCES & FURTHER READINGhttps://pastebin.com/1h3vd0hjABOUT THIS EPISODEThis episode presents the case of Niels Högel's murders for documentary discussion and critical commentary.
