[np_storybar title=”Read Wettlaufer’s handwritten confession” link=”#1″] [/np_storybar] At the beginning of the interview Wettlaufer said she graduated from Grade 13 and went to journalism school for a year.
In February 1994, NBC’s Stone Phillips met serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer for his only network television interview. He traveled to the prison with Dahmer’s father, Lionel, and his step-mother, Shari. 
Afterwards she went to the London Baptist Bible College in London, Ont., and graduated with a degree in counselling. But she decided that was not the career for her and went back to college to study math and science.
She then moved to Geraldton in northern Ontario but it was “way” up north. “(I) worked there (but) couldn’t stand the isolation. Moved back, worked for an organization called Christian Horizons here in town in one of their group homes till 2007 at which time my marriage fell apart in February 2007 and I met a woman online.” The two moved in together, but, “I ended up quitting the job I was at and going to Caressant Care to make a little bit more money cuz I was the only breadwinner.” She said she was fired as a registered nurse at Caressant and then went to Meadow Park nursing home. She left there after becoming addicted to “hydromorph,” a pain killer which she often took from patients.
“Some of them had confusion so they couldn’t tell the difference between what pills you were giving them. I could give them a laxative instead of their hydromorph.” Asked why she slipped into addiction in 2008, she said it was the stress of the job. “Always feeling like I had to be the best possible person and very, very stressful job giving medications to 32 people and making sure treatments were done on 32 people. “I always was putting this pressure on myself to be a really good nurse and to do everything perfectly. “And every once in a while when I could get a hold of a hydromorph or two and take it then that pressure was gone.” As she started talking about the killings she told of being angry and “it was like a voice said inside me, ‘I’ll use you don’t worry about it’.” Afterwards, she said, “I would hear like a laughter in my tummy.” In September 2007, she overdosed Clotilda Adriano but said she didn’t mean to kill her. “I didn’t really want her to die. I just, I don’t know, I was just angry and had this sense inside me that she might be a person that God wanted back with him.” Hergott: “Is that feeling you’re referring to that you had in your stomach at times?” “Yeah, yeah.” Then Wettlaufer added, “I just had a sense after my marriage broke up that God was gonna reuse me for something and then after a while I started to really wonder after some of the murders.” • • • But she was concerned, “If it was God or if it was the devil fooling me.” Was she doing right by the people, asked the detective.
