Efren Saldivar, a respiratory therapist at Glendale Adventist Hospital, confessed to murdering over 50 patients between 1989-1998 before later recanting his confession on national television. What followed was a groundbreaking forensic investigation that would eventually prove his guilt and reveal his disturbing motive: he killed patients when he felt overworked or short-staffed.
