In August of 1987, Donald Harvey pled guilty to 37 murders committed over a span of nearly two decades. Harvey mostly preyed upon patients at hospitals where he was working, and he proclaimed himself to be an 'Angel of Death,' killing to relieve sick people of their pain. As the manner of his sadistic crimes came to light, it became clear that nothing could be further from the truth. Harvey poisoned, smothered, asphyxiated, and violently attacked his victims, never sticking to one M.O. Targeting primarily terminal patients, Harvey murdered under the radar until early 1987 when one of his victims was finally autopsied.
