Genene Jones, said to be the inspiration behind the Annie Wilkes character in Stephen King's Misery, is due to be released in February of 2018 due to a loophole in Texas law.
In 1985, she was convicted for the murder of fifteen month old Chelsea McClelland. Further investigations, however, show that Jones may have been responsible for over 40 infant deaths during the span of her nursing career. Cover-ups, blackmail and manipulations, Jones was able to get away with her crimes for years with a silent hospital administration behind her and the lack of courage of those around her to blow the whistle.
