Did nurse Elizabeth Wettlaufer kill a 9th person? Court order raises questions | CBC News
"The family of a London, Ont., woman has won a court order compelling police to hand over details about the criminal investigation into the death of their mother at a care home where serial killer Elizabeth Wettlaufer was working, CBC News has learned.

Florence Beedall, 75, died at London's Meadow Park Long-Term Care home on Aug. 23, 2014 — the same day Wettlaufer, admittedly, injected another Meadow Park resident with a lethal dose of insulin. Wettlaufer, 52, is serving eight concurrent life sentences for the murders of eight patients between 2007 and 2014.

Documents filed to obtain the court order and seen by CBC News reveal that Beedall's death caught the attention of police and "the London Police Service undertook an investigation." No charges have been laid as a result of that investigation."

Wettlaufer confessed to trying to harm other patients, commission says
February 4, 2019
"TORONTO - A commission examining the circumstances that allowed an Ontario nurse to kill eight elderly patients says it learned more than a year ago that she had confessed to additional crimes.

The commission that led last year's public inquiry into Elizabeth Wettlaufer's actions says it heard in January 2018 that the serial killer had told prison staff she had attempted to harm two other patients.

It says it took no steps, so as not to interfere with police investigations into the alleged incidents."

As previewed in the July edition, the Honourable Eileen E. Gillese, Commissioner of the Long-Term Care Homes Public Inquiry (Inquiry), released her final Report and Recommendations (Report) on July 31, 2019, following the Public Inquiry into the Safety and Security of Residents in Ontario’s Long-Term Care Homes System.

The principal findings of the Inquiry were as follows:

1. The criminal offences committed by Elizabeth Wettlaufer, the vast majority of which occurred in licensed and regulated long-term care homes, would not have been discovered had she not confessed;
2. These offences were the result of systemic issues for which no single actor is individually accountable (although that is not to say there were no individual shortcomings or that there is nothing the stakeholders can do individually to improve the safety and security of residents);
3. Although the long-term care system is strained, it is not broken.
