Dr. Linda Hazzard - Starvation Heights
Photo of Dr. Linda Hazzard, the infamous serial killer who starved her patients at Wilderness "Starvation" Heights in Olalla, Washington.

It is unknown the total amount of patients which she starved to death under the precept that eating near-to-nothing would cause clarity of mind and 'sin'. Unfortunately, not only did most of her patients lose their lives, but they also lost any possessions that they had on them.

All patients that died under her care showed random causes of death when Dr. Hazzard performed the autopsies. Of course, when any legitimate doctor had access to the bodies it was confirmed that they died through starvation.
Date & Place: at Wilderness in Olalla, Washington USA

I remember seeing a news story about her. Infamous Dr's or even fake Dr.s have existed throughout history. Amazing story.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
