Adrianne Baum Biography
Adrianne Baum is a lady who has found herself in the limelight, for the crimes of her ex-husband. Adrienne met Charles Cullen in the 80s, and they exchanged vows in 1987, the same year they welcomed their eldest daughter.
A few years into the relationship, Baum began being disturbed by the unusual behavior of Cullen and the abuse he subjected to the dogs. Fearing for her life and that of her daughters, Baum sought a restraining order in 1993, the same year they divorced.
Baum claimed that Cullen had spiked people’s drinks with lighter fluid, burned his daughter’s books, and left the daughters with a babysitter for a week. Cullen denied the claims and said that Baum was exaggerating. Baum believed that Cullen was mentally ill and that he needed help.
Around the same time, Cullen wanted to stop being a nurse. However, the courts demanded he pay child support which compelled him to continue working.
The Story of Charles Cullen’s Mudrers
Cullen confessed that his first murder occurred at Siant Barnabas. Cullen administered an overdose to a patient on June 11, 1988, which killed the patient. Cullen also admitted to having given an overdose to many other patients, which claimed their lives.
The Saint Barnabas Hospital began doing investigations, and Cullen was suspected of being responsible for numerous deaths at the hospital. He left Saint Barnabas and took a job at Warren Hospital in New Jersey. At the new hospital, Cullen murdered three elderly women through an overdose of heart medication. One of the victims claimed that a sneaky male nurse had injected her as she slept, but family members and healthcare providers at the hospital dismissed the claims.
After Cullen’s divorce in 1993, he wanted to quit nursing but was forced to continue working to pay child support. Cullen was hired at the Liberty Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania. While working at the hospital he was accused of giving patients drugs at unscheduled times. He was demoted from the hospital after he was found entering a patient’s room with syringes in his hand.
Despite having a history of mental health and several deaths during his employment, he continued to find nursing work because of the countrywide shortage of nurses. Moreover, at that time, no reporting mechanism existed to report nurses with employment issues.
Adrianne Baum has continued to live a quiet life away from the limelight, with her two daughters.
