Charles Cullen
Charles Edmund Cullen (born February 22, 1960) is a former nurse who is the most prolific serial killer in New Jersey history and is suspected to be the most prolific serial killer in American history. He confessed to authorities that he killed up to 40 patients during the course of his 16-year nursing career. But in subsequent interviews with police, psychiatric professionals, and journalists Charles Graeber and Steve Kroft,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=First serial killer on 60 Minutes in 45 years )〕 it became clear that he had killed many more, whom he could not specifically remember by name, though he could often remember details of their case. Experts have estimated that Charles Cullen may ultimately be responsible for over 300 deaths, which would make him the most prolific serial killer in American history.〔
==Early life==
Cullen was born in West Orange, New Jersey, and was the youngest of eight children. His father, a bus driver, was 58 years old at the time of Charles' birth and died when Cullen was seven months old. Cullen described his childhood as miserable. He first attempted suicide at age nine by drinking chemicals from a chemistry set. This would be the first of many suicide attempts throughout his life. Later, working as a nurse, Cullen claimed to have fantasized about stealing drugs from the hospital where he worked and using them to end his life.
On December 6, 1977, Cullen's mother died in an automobile accident in a car that his sister was driving. In April 1978, devastated by his mother's death, Cullen dropped out of high school and enlisted in the U.S. Navy. He was assigned to the submarine service and served aboard the ballistic missile sub USS ''Woodrow Wilson''. Cullen rose to the rank of petty officer third class as part of the team that operated the ship's Poseidon missiles. At this point, Cullen began to show signs of mental instability. He was transferred to the supply ship USS ''Canopus''. Cullen tried to end his life seven times over the next few years. He received a medical discharge from the Navy on March 30, 1984.
That same month, Cullen enrolled at the Mountainside Hospital School of Nursing in Montclair, New Jersey, where he was the only male student. Cullen was later elected president of his nursing class. He graduated in 1987 and took a job at the burn unit of St. Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, New Jersey.
