Heather Pressdee, the Pennsylvania nurse connected to the deaths of 17 patients will be spending the rest of her life in prison. The 41 year old nurse had pleaded guilty for three counts of 1st-degree murder and other charges and this helped her avoid the death sentence.

Heather Pressdee while working as a nurse had administered lethal doses of insulin leading to the death of 17 patients had pleaded guilty in a Butler County courtroom to three counts of first-degree murder and 19 counts of criminal attempt to commit murder. Heather Pressdee was working as a nurse at Quality Life Services before her arrest in May 2023.

Investigations revealed that Pressdee’s killing spree began in 2020 when she started administering “lethal and potentially lethal doses of insulin” to at least 22 patients at facilities in Allegheny, Armstrong, Butler and Westmoreland counties. Of these 17 patients died soon or after some time after receiving the insulin doses according to prosecution.

Heather Pressdee will be serving three consecutive life sentences after pleading to the three counts of first-degree murder. She is also sentenced an additional 380 to 760 years of consecutive jail terms after being found guilty for 19 counts of criminal attempt to commit murder, according to prosecutors.

Attorney General Michelle Henry said, “The defendant used her position of trust as a means to poison patients who depended on her for care. This plea and life sentence will not bring back the lives lost, but it will ensure Heather Pressdee never has another opportunity to inflict further harm. I offer my sincere sympathy to all who have suffered at this defendant’s hands.”

Kings of Pressdee’s victims who were present at the nurse’s sentencing hearing recounted the “pain and anguish caused by learning their loved one’s death was not natural, but was caused by a criminal act,”

Sister of one of the victims, Nicholas Cymbol, Melinda Brown said that the nurse was pure evil. She added that this is not complete justice and justice will be delivered when she meets her maker. Daughter of another victim Irene Simons said that she will never forgive Pressdee. She added that she is angry because Pressdee disguised herself as a caring nurse and she tried to play God and take the life of someone from the world that she had no right to take.

Attorney General Michelle Henry first became aware of Pressdee’s crimes when her office received a referral in late 2022 regarding a patient under the nurse’s care. A thorough investigation was launched which revealed the full extent of Pressdee’s horrific actions.

A man living in the city of Brunswick on Georgia’s southeast coast is devastated after his pet alligator was stolen from his home on April 21, 2024. In an emotional video which was posted on TikTok the man who was crying said that he is the dad of Wallygator (the name of the pet alligator) and appealed to the public for help to bring his pet back home.

It has been almost 11 days since Wally the pet support alligator was reportedly kidnapped and stolen in Georgia. The Walygator disappeared from his home on April 21 when his handler Joie Henney was visiting friends.

The owner of the alligator in a video posted on TikTok through tears said, “I’m Wallygator’s dad. We need all the help we can get to bring my baby back. Please, we need your help.”

The owner is also offering a reward for the safe return of his pet and said that no questions will be asked.

The owner Joie Henney has two alligators as pets and lives in Strinestown. The alligator, which is said to be a 4-foot-long, nearly 60-pound, emotional support alligator lives in SpiriTrust Lutheran Village at Sprenkle Drive and a number of people come to have a glimpse of the reptile.

Henney also revealed that he is putting through a search party for Wally after a Georgia Department of Natural Resources official contacted him and informed him of the theft of his pet by someone who stole Wally with the intent of dropping him off in a resident’s yard “to terrorize them.” The residents called the authorities and the services of a trapper were called for who caught and released the reptile into a swamp. Henney posted on Facebook that Wally is unlikely to survive in the wild on his own.

Who is Wallygator?

Wallygator is an eight year old emotional support animal and provided solace and comfort to people at nursing homes and baseball games. He was adopted by Henney when he was 1 year old in 2019. Henney revealed that the alligator was very docile and loved to be hugged and kissed by people. He was also fond of going for walks. The pet alligator also was very fond of adventures which included leashed park visits and supervised swimming stints. His frolics were often posted on social media where Wally has tens of thousands of followers.

The search for the missing alligator has also received support from the Gator boys who have joined efforts with other agencies that specialize in rescuing alligators.

According to WMUR9, Orleck stated,

“I was mad because they had taken my phone, and I was mad because they just body-slammed me, and it hurt. And so, I went and said, ‘Give me back my phone’. I’m trying to get my phone back. I did. And, at that moment, three police lifted me up in the air, slammed me down onto the ground. I mean, I threw myself down onto the ground on my bad shoulder. And they said I was resisting arrest.”

The video of the 65-year-old that went viral was captured at the protest by news channels. 

She added,

“And it’s really shameful in a sleepy little campus, in a rural area like Dartmouth, that they brought in this ridiculous show of arms and strength and violence.”
