Donald Harvey escaped justice for 20 years as he murdered his patients in any way he could. In an exclusive interview, the man who brought him to justice details just how evil Nurse Harvey was. Harvey is notable for having used numerous methods to kill, including arsenic; cyanide; suffocation; miscellaneous poisons; morphine; turning off ventilators; administration of fluid tainted with hepatitis B and/or HIV (which resulted in a hepatitis infection, but no HIV infection, and illness rather than death); insertion of a coat hanger into a catheter, causing an abdominal puncture and subsequent peritonitis. Cyanide and arsenic were his favourite methods, with Harvey administering them via food, injection, or IV. The true extent of his crimes may never be known since so many were undetected for so long. He claims to have killed 87 patients, but official estimates suggest the figure is nearer 60.
