CLARKSBURG, W.Va. — An attorney for the families of veterans who were murdered at the Clarksburg VA Medical Center said Monday 11 additional deaths are being reviewed for possible connections to convicted murderer Reta Mays.
Charleston attorney Tony O’Dell said during an appearance on MetroNews “Talkline” some of the deaths date back as far as 2015.
“We have 11 other cases that an untoward event happened at the hospital, we don’t have the smoking gun glucose readings, but these people looked like they were going to be discharged. They were definitely doing better and had been moved out of ICU to the step-down floor,” O’Dell said.
Mays, 46, of Harrison County, a former nursing assistant at the hospital, pleaded guilty in July in connection with seven deaths. She faces consecutive life terms for the murders and another 20 years for a count of assault with attempt to murder. A sentencing hearing hasn’t yet been set. A status hearing in the case is scheduled for Oct. 30. She killed them by giving them insulin they didn’t need. She hasn’t yet said why.
O’Dell said he’s still waiting for the Veterans Administration to provide him “complete and full sets” of medical records for the families of the additional veterans.
