The Angel of Death: The Shocking True Story of Serial Killer Charles Edmund CullenCharles Edmund Cullen is a former nurse who is considered to be the most prolific serial killer in New Jersey history and possibly also in American history.
Charles Edmund Cullen was born the youngest of eight children into a large New Jersey family. His childhood was largely an unhappy one, his father died when he was a few months old and Cullen was bullied throughout his schooling. Charles Edmund Cullen was still a young child when he made his first suicide attempt. It was far from being his last.
After losing his mother in a car accident Cullen dropped out of high school and joined the Navy. Here he trained as a ballistic missiles technician. However just as he had found as a
Schoolboy Cullen struggled to fit in and was considered something of a misfit. During this period his mental health became increasingly unstable.
After being discharged from the Navy Cullen trained as a nurse. While studying Cullen met Adrienne Taub, the couple would later marry. Shortly after the birth of his first daughter and the death of his brother Cullen killed his first known victim by means of lethal injection. This occurred whilst he was working at Saint Barnabas Hospital.
Despite numerous concerns over his behavior and while Cullens mental health continued to deteriorate, including further suicide attempts, he was allowed to continue working in a series of hospitals. This led to as many as40 people losing their lives.
This book looks at how circumstances in Cullens personal life, such as the breakdown of his marriage following his abusive behavior, sparked his killing sprees. We shall also discuss how, despite arousing some suspicions, Cullen's murderous behavior was allowed to continue for so long.
