Today, I'll be talking about an English serial killer, who wasn't nearly as brutal as most of the killers we've talked about over the past few years when it came to his homicidal methods.

0:08.0

Certainly, isn't the most sadistic killer we've covered, but he is the UK's and the world's most prolific serial killer when it comes to murders attributed to one person by a governmental investigative agency.

0:20.8

Harold Frederick Schippen, a former doctor who's been linked to over 200 murders occurring between 1975 and 1998.

0:29.4

Investigators definitively attributed 215 murders to him and estimate he probably killed closer to 250 people.

0:37.4

All of these homicides earned him the dark nickname of Dr. Death.

0:41.4

Schippen prayed mostly upon the elderly.

0:44.4

Of all his murders, only a handful were committed against a person under the age of 50 and the majority were committed on people 75 and older.

0:52.4

He got away with these killings for years by only murdering his own patients and convincing corners in the victim's families that the deaths were natural by forging medical records.

And he would have in all likelihood kept getting away with it, had a taxi driver not come forward with concerns over how many patients he'd driven to Dr. Schippen's office, patients who seemed healthy but died shortly after their visit.

1:15.4

And then he also got greedy and tried to steal an inheritance from one of his victims.

1:19.4

Schippen was a walking pilot garbage who took an oath to protect his patients and then got right to kill in over 200 unlucky souls who were in his care.

1:27.4

So strap in and enjoy the fact that this guy is dead. Be glad that odds are your doctor or your grandparents doctor is far less evil than Dr. Death.

1:36.4

In another true crime, thank Nimrod you haven't had to deal with this asshole addition of TimeSuck.

Happy Monday, meat sacks. I am feeling a lot better than last week.

2:01.4

Partly thanks to my doctor's office and office where I receive a lot better care than Dr. Schippen's patients did.

2:08.4

My doctor hasn't killed me even one time. So that's good.

2:11.4

I'm Dan Cummins, Lucis Fiend is toilet cleaner Nimrod's most mush mouth disciple, Bojangles dog walker and triple limbs roti.

2:19.4

And you are listening to TimeSuck. Thanks for being curious meat sack.

2:22.4

Got some good feedback on Ruby Ridge. I'm excited to share in the updates.

2:26.4

I'm not as pro government as I may have come across last week. I'm not anti militia. I am anti-randy weaver.
