This month Ontario launched an inquiry of mass murderer Elizabeth Wettlaufer. As the CBC reported, “the inquiry won't answer why Wettlaufer killed, but will instead investigate how she was able to keep killing for so long, and what needs to change to prevent future killings.” Early in her career, the clues were already emerging. In 1995, at the Geraldton District Hospital, Wettlaufer stole the drug Ativan and was so stoned she toppled into a trash can. “Elizabeth Wettlaufer was fired from her first nursing job just months into her tenure,” Jonathan Sher noted in the London Free Press, “but the firing was kept hidden from future employers after the union that represents nurses struck a deal with the hospital that axed her for stealing and using medication.”
