According to Fox News' latest report, Pressdee was arrested back in May after she was accused of murdering two patients.

Now, the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office announced that the killer nurse is facing new charges after confessing to her crimes.

"Today, the Office of Attorney General filed charges regarding mistreatment of 19 additional patients at five different care facilities between 2020 and this year," said the prosecutors via the People.

Pennsylvania Attorney-General Michelle Henry said that Pressdee tried killing her patients by administering excessive amounts of insulin. Some of her victims at the hospital were diabetic (who required insulin).

On the other hand, others were not diabetic at all. These patients reportedly range between 43 to 104 years old.

"[Pressdee]stated that she felt bad for their quality of life, and she had hoped that they would just slip into a coma and pass away," said the investigators.

Aside from the investigators' findings, the police also shared other information about the crimes the depraved nurse did.

"Pressdee often took steps to ensure her victims would expire prior to shift change so that they wouldn't be sent to the hospital where her scheme could be discovered through medical tests," said law enforcement authorities.

Colleague, Leaked Texts Already Showed Her Killing Intent

Investigators were able to access Pressdee's smartphone after obtaining a search warrant.

When they checked her text messages, they saw that the former nurse was telling her mother that she would give "pillow therapy" to one of her patients.

This means that she was planning to use a pillow to suffocate her victim. Aside from this, she also threatened a pizza guy, a Taco Bell worker, and an Arbys guy through text messages.

One of her ex-colleagues, who is also a nurse, told the police that Pressdee shared her murderous plans with the medical staff.

The hospital employee said that the ex-nurse was telling her that one of their patients "would be better off dead."
