Serial killer Elizabeth Wettlaufer was on a `do not hire´ list. She got hired
(The Star Food)
 


A company that operates several nursing homes had placed serial killer Elizabeth Wettlaufer on a “do not hire list,†a public inquiry has heard.Yet Wettlaufer ended up working as a registered nurse at the company’s nursing homes because she was on “the black list†with her maiden name — Elizabeth Parker — the inquiry was told today. At one of those nursing homes, in September 2015, Wettlaufer tried to kill resident Sandra Fowler with an injected overdose of insulin. The revelation adds to the numerous systemic failures — and missed red flags — that allowed Wettlaufer to kill eight people in her care while assaulting or trying to kill six others with insulin overdoses.The “do not hire list†was revealed by Heidi Wilmot-Smith, president of the Lifeguard Homecare agency, which provides registered nurses and other caregivers to nursing homes facing staffing shortages. Wettlaufer worked for Lifeguard from January 2015, until she resigned in September 2016.Wilmot-Smith testified that the “do not hire†issue came to light after police began investigating Wettlaufer’s crimes in October 2016. Wilmot-Smith said a senior vice-president of Revera Long Term Care, which operates several nursing homes, told her that the company had suddenly learned that Wettlaufer was on the list under her maiden name.“That’s probably why they did not catch it, because Beth was practising under the surname Wettlaufer,†Wilmot-Smith said.The inquest was not told when Wettlaufer was placed on the list, or why. Elizabeth Parker became Elizabeth Wettlaufer when she married in 1997. Her husband applied for and received a divorce in 2008.Read more:Elizabeth Wettlaufer was called ‘angel of death’ by co-worker, inquiry hears Much of Elizabeth Wettlaufer’s stained record not reported to College of NursesInside the troubled life of Elizabeth Wettlaufer, the nurse on the night shiftWett ...
