It would seem that Genene Jones hasn't kept quiet all these years. Prosecutors revealed stunning evidence in the case: There are accounts of Genene Jones' confessions, including one instance where a witness describes that Jones confessed to killing multiple babies. This and more revelations in the finale of Vile.

Bexar County prosecutors in the Genene Jones case found themselves with mountains of old, unorganized medical records and obstacles to overcome in their quest to keep the so-called "killer nurse" behind bars. Jones was served with five murder indictments in 2017.

As a hearing in the case looms, the Bexar County District Attorney's Office discusses a possible plea bargain offer. Genene Jones' defense filed a "motion for speedy trial."

The case of convicted 'killer nurse' Genene Jones falls perfectly in the window for mandatory release from prison in Texas. The only way to prevent her from going free is a new conviction, which prosecutors at the Bexar County District Attorney's Office are fighting for. Crime victim advocate Andy Kahan explains how the law works.

In late 1982, nurse Genene Jones had already created chaos. After Chelsea McClellan's death and other medical emergencies plagued the Kerrville clinic where she worked, those who worked with her at Bexar County Hospital in San Antonio were deciding what to do about their lingering suspicions. Administrators had already allowed her to find work elsewhere, but would they report their troubling experiences with her to the authorities?

In this preview episode of Vile, we share an excerpt of our conversation with former Bexar County Medical Examiner Dr. Vincent DiMaio. In the next full episode of Vile, we'll discuss how the Genene Jones case finally landed in the hands of law enforcement in San Antonio.

Deaths in Bexar County Hospital's pediatric ICU had reached epidemic proportions in the early 1980s, and a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention attributed the problem to one nurse in the unit: Nurse 32.

Genene Jones' former fiancé recalls strange behavior she showed during their two-year engagement, including a fixation with medical emergencies and telling what he calls "pathological lies."

This mini episode of Vile offers some clarification on the reason Genene Jones received a 99-year sentence rather than a life sentence, and what that means for her "mandatory release." In the next installment, we'll learn more about Jones' background and early life.

Long-time Kerr County District Attorney Ron Sutton said Genene Jones' 1984 murder trial was sensational, to say the least. As Sutton reflects on the conviction and defining moment in his career, producers Stacey Welsh and Emily Porter come face-to-face with the case's "smoking gun:" The vial.

The "smoking gun" in the Genene Jones case came in the form of a vial of medicine. Producers Stacey Welsh and Emily Porter talk with former Kerr County District Attorney Ron Sutton and author Peter Elkind to learn more about how the case against Jones unfolded after Chelsea McClellan's 1982 death.

After she was convicted of a 15-month-old baby's death in 1984, a now-amended Texas law calls for nurse Genene Jones, a suspected serial killer of children, to walk free again...
