MURFREESBORO — The
possibility of murderers lurking in hospital halls and nursing homes will be
the topic of the next “MTSU On the Record.”
Host Gina Logue’s interview with private investigator Bruce
Sackman will air from 5:30 to 6 p.m. Monday, April 4, and from 8 to 8:30 a.m.
Sunday, April 10, on WMOT-FM (89.5 and www.wmot.org).
Sackman will deliver the William M. Bass Legends in Forensic
Science Leadership Lecture, “Serial Killers in Health Care,” at 6:30 p.m.
Tuesday, April 19, in the Student Union Ballroom.
For 32 years, Sackman served as the special agent in charge
of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ Northeast field office in the
criminal investigations division of the Office of Inspector General. Until he
retired in May 2005, he was responsible for all major criminal investigations
from West Virginia to Maine in VA facilities.
Sackman also was responsible for supervising the nation’s
first homicide conviction in connection with pharmaceutical research.
“The overwhelming majority of health care professionals are
honest, hard-working, dedicated people,” said Sackman. “In fact, that’s how we
find out about these suspicious deaths.”
Since 1970, there have been 317 confirmed deaths and 2,113
suspicious deaths associated with 54 convictions of health care providers, said
Sackman.
