Serial Killer’s Former Colleague Speaks Out About Taking Him Down: ‘There Was a Darkness to Him’

Amy Loughren, a former colleague of serial killer Charles Cullen, is sharing her experience with taking him down.

She shared her story while speaking with Fox News less than two months after Netflix premiered a scripted drama based on the events titled, “The Good Nurse.”

Eddie Redmayne played Cullen and Jessica Chastain played Loughren in the film.

“Knowing that Netflix wanted to tell the real story and not just the Hollywood story made me very excited,” Loughren said.

She added, “I felt it was very important to make sure that the victims and the victims’ families had a voice. That was the most important thing for me.”

Fox News noted Loughren began working as a nurse in the intensive care unit at New Jersey’s Somerset Medical Center around 2000.

Additionally, she worked as a trauma and ER nurse.

Loughren then met and befriended Cullen while working with him.

“Charlie was funny,” she said.

Loughren explained, “He was very sarcastic. He was always very self-deprecating. He would turn everything back on himself and make a joke about it. He was also brilliant and knew more about medications than any pharmacist I had ever met. He really understood policies and procedures. I trusted him more than any other nurse that I worked with.”

Acknowledging “all nurses are well-versed in medications,” Loughren added, “However, even after 35 years of being a nurse, I still look up medications … We had our little physician’s desk reference that talked about all the side effects and adverse reactions to medications. And looking up medications is a safety procedure we have. But Charlie always seemed to know them all right off the top of his head.”
