Amy Archer-Gilligan, known as "Sister Amy," ran a Connecticut nursing home where residents kept dying, and her story is often linked to the dark comedy Arsenic and Old Lace. In this Saturday bonus episode of Brewed With Intent, we look at the lifetime-care contracts, the arsenic, the sister who refused to accept an easy explanation, and the question that still matters today: who benefits when someone doesn't live as long as expected?
Content note: This episode discusses poisoning and the deaths of elderly people. Nothing is graphic. If you're concerned about an older person in your life, the Eldercare Locator can connect you with local services and Adult Protective Services at 1-800-677-1116. In an emergency, call 911.
Brewed With Intent is the Saturday morning bonus series from Deadly Intent, with shorter stories and a little more coffee. New full-length episodes arrive every Wednesday.
