The public-health agency, which has been omnipresent at the hospital campus since prolonged abuse of psychiatric patient William Shehadi was discovered at the hospital’s Whiting Forensic Division, conducted the safety survey on behalf of federal Medicare and Medicaid officials. The abuse at Whiting resulted in the criminal arrests of 10 staff members and the suspension of a total of 37 patient-care workers and nurses.

He was arrested in September, 2003, in Hammond after the bodies of Nicholas James, 19, (killed in May), James Raganyi, 16, and Michael Dennis, 13, were found encased in concrete and wrapped in plastic beneath the basement floor. After two years, he pled guilty to three murders and was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences. Detectives who worked the case said that in spite of his brutality, Maust was also capable of remorse. He told The Times interviewer that he had asked to be put in isolation while in Lake County Jail because left in the general population his days were numbered. "I believe they’ll try to kill me. I think that’s what should happen. I deserve what I have coming."

Though police think Tina Wilkerson may have known her killer and they interviewed suspects — one person of interest failed a lie detector test — detectives ruled out a connection between her death and that of her fiance the previous week in August 1995. There were no drugs found in her system.

When Gabriel released Up, it had been a full 10 years since his preceding solo album. And as many experimentally-minded musicians of his generation as well as young rock bands did around the turn of the century, he wound up employing a lot of thick, then-cutting-edge electronics. Maybe it’s just that the sounds associated with his ’80s work are more in vogue today, or maybe it’s the inherent disjuncture that sometimes comes with an artist trying to adapt to the sound of too many passing eras, but the aesthetic of Up is often what sinks it. (You also have to wonder if such a long stretch between releases means some songs gestated for far too long; by the time Up came out, a lot of the songs already sounded dated.) But no Gabriel album is without its worthwhile moments, and Up did have “No Way Out,” a slow-burn contemplation that was a more appropriate backdrop for the gravel of a now-50-something Gabriel and all the places he’d seen in his life.

The curtains had minimal contamination when they were first hung, but curtains hung in patient rooms became increasingly contaminated over time. By day 14 of the study period, 87.5 percent of the curtains tested positive for MRSA. Curtains that were not placed in patient rooms, however, stayed clean the entire 21 days of the study.

One witness speculated Oropesa killed Martinez because he was jealous of him, while another thought it involved drugs and another theory is that Oropesa thought Martinez had robbed him, according to court records. 

Maust was later released to a home for wayward boys. While in the group home, Maust explained, "We were playing a game called knock out. All the boys played it. We just wanted to touch another boy. … We just wanted affection — to be touched. There was no one there to do it. Besides no education, there was no touching. They couldn’t tell you they loved you, give you a hug. Nothing.”

Much of the debate surrounding Williams’ death sentence focused on three small spots of blood on his shorts. The clothing item was collected three days after his arrest.

The dangerous conditions existed throughout the patient buildings at Connecticut Valley Hospital in Middletown, from plastic boxes at the top of bathroom doors that created a “ligature risk” to the tracks of privacy curtains between patient beds that had non-tamper-resistant hardware.
