In this episode we cover the story of Amy Archer-Gilligan, a seemingly devoted caregiver whose nursing home in early 20th century Connecticut became a house of horrors. We explore how her case reshaped elder care regulations and inspired the dark comedy classic "Arsenic and Old Lace." Join us as we reveal the twisted motives behind her crimes and the legacy that continues to resonate today.
