ICU: Death Angels and Dead Pools

This podcast episode was originally released as part of the Sin City Stories: Vegas True Crime series In the spring of 1980, headlines across the united states screamed out, “ANGEL OF DEATH!” These sensational stories centered around 32-year-old Jani Adams, a nurse working the graveyard shift in a Las Vegas Intensive Care Unit. These articles about the so-called “Death Angel” carried a distinctly Vegas twist – word was, this nurse was running a hospital “dead pool”, placing wagers on when patients would die. But how did a mild-mannered nurse - who described herself being “shy as a mouse” - end up in the national spotlight for allegedly murdering her patients?
