A Glimpse Into The Life Of A Woodstock Nurse Charged With Murder

A nurse charged with eight counts of murder at nursing homes in Woodstock and London also worked as a home care and support worker in Brantford and Woodstock.

Elizabeth Wettlaufer goes by the name Bethe Wettlaufer on her Facebook page, which shows she graduated nursing at Conestoga College in 1995.

Her page says she worked as a support worker at Christian Horizons in Woodstock from 1996 to 2007, and also worked at Lifeguard Homecare in Brantford. She attended Huron Park Secondary School in Woodstock and also studied at London Baptist Bible College in 1987.

Her Facebook posts show her sightseeing and pictures of her parents, as she posts how blessed she is to have her Dad alive. She also posts she is the kind of person who says hello to dogs.

Wettlaufer is charged with eight counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of eight seniors in between 2007 and 2014.  Police say a drug was administered.

A post in September 2015 says:

My own voice called to me in the darkness. Others hands lifted me when I chose the light. One year ago today I woke up not dead. 365 days clean and sober.
