How many lives could have been saved if Michael Swango, a physician and serial killer, had stopped earlier in his career? Join us as we unravel the chilling case of Swango and discover the evidence linking him to 35 potential victims. Learn about Swango's transfer to a maximum-security facility in Colorado, his release from prison in 2000, and the relentless efforts made by the FBI to exhume the bodies of four of his victims in Zimbabwe.
But the Swango case doesn't end there. We also dive into the fallout and the impact it had on Ohio State University's Vice President for Health Services, Dr. Manuel Sargonis, and hospital medical director, Dr. Michael Whitcomb, the response from the press and Ohio State University's public relations office, and the lack of implementation of three crucial recommendations from the report. Finally, we reveal Swango's ultimate fate - a life sentence in a supermax federal prison in Florence, Colorado. Don't miss this gripping conclusion to our series on Michael Swango and the lives he destroyed.
