Jane Toppan
SEASON 2 : EPISODE 23
MAY 3, 2023
In this season opener we’re going to cover a case that encompasses something that I think is a lot of people’s worst fears. And if it isn’t a fear you already have, it might become one after hearing this case. Sometimes called Angels of mercy, or angels of death, this story is about what happens when someone trusted with the care of others, abandons their oath to “do no harm.” This is the story of Jane Toppan.
