#8 - Joshua Lee Hunsucker In September of 2018, North Carolina woman
Stacy Hunsucker passed away at her Charlotte residence and officials initially ruled that
she’d died of natural causes.
However, Stacy’s mother soon grew suspicious that her son-in-law, paramedic Joshua Hunsucker,
might have been involved in his wife’s mysterious and sudden demise.
He’d reportedly collected $250,000 in payouts from two separate life insurance policies,
and had also started publicly dating another woman less than 6 months after his wife’s
death.
Joshua’s mother-in-law ultimately accused him of having had an affair prior to Stacy’s
passing, and demanded the authorities investigate the matter further.
Adding to the mounting suspicion was that, after his wife had been pronounced dead at
the hospital on September the 23rd, Joshua reportedly refused to allow an autopsy to
be performed.
Nevertheless, a blood sample was taken from the woman’s body.
It was then tested by medical examiners and it emerged that Stacy’s blood contained
elevated levels of tetrahydrozoline, which is commonly found in over-the-counter eye
drops and nasal sprays.
An attorney for the fraud investigations unit of the North Carolina Department of Insurance
claimed that the amount of tetrahydrozoline in the woman’s system would’ve had a “dramatic
effect on her heart” and likely “would cause heart stoppage in a short amount of
time”.
It was ultimately concluded that Joshua had fatally poisoned his wife with Visine eye
drops and he was consequently arrested in December of 2019 on a charge of first-degree
murder.
The case’s pretrial motions were heard in a Gaston County court, on January the 7th
of 2022.
#7 - Lisa Darlene Glaze On October the 16th of 2019, Gloria Robinson
was transported to CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs hospital in Arkansas after experiencing an
undisclosed medical emergency.
The woman was ultimately pronounced dead and her personal effects were given to her sister
and her husband by a female paramedic, later identified as 50-year-old Lisa Darlene Glaze.
The victim’s sister reportedly noticed that 3 of Robinson’s rings were missing.
Upon asking Glaze about the misplaced items, the woman received no answer and the paramedic
walked away.
Two of the three rings were recovered a couple of days later, but the third piece of jewelry
remained missing for roughly a week, at which point investigators learned that the item
had been sold to Hot Springs Classic Guns and Pawn for $45.
The victim’s sister and husband identified the ring and recovered it from the pawn shop.
They later had it appraised and reportedly discovered that it had an estimated value
of approximately $8,000.
Hot Springs police determined that the ring had been sold to the pawn shop by Glaze, who
was consequently taken into custody and charged with a felony count of theft by receiving
over $5,000 and a misdemeanor count of unlawful transfer of stolen property to a pawn shop.
The paramedic faced a maximum prison term of 10 years for her crimes but she agreed
to a plea deal that sentenced her to 6 years of supervised probation in lieu of jail time.
#6 - Sarah Romine Shortly before 8 pm, on July the 31st of 2021,
Tennessee paramedic Sarah Romine got into a confrontation with two women in the parking
lot outside the Soaky Mountain Waterpark, in Sevierville.
Local police reported that Romine, who worked as an EMT for American Medical Response, opened
fire on the other women after their dispute had abruptly escalated.
The victims, Kelsy Cook and Angie Russell, were transported to nearby hospitals to be
treated for the gunshot wounds they’d sustained.
Cook was airlifted to the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville, where she was
later pronounced dead.
Russell received treatment for non-life threatening injuries at LeConte Medical Center.
Romine fled the scene in the shooting’s wake, but she was eventually tracked down
and taken into police custody along with a male suspect named Joshua Dannels.
Investigators identified Romine as the shooter and consequently charged her with second-degree
murder, multiple counts of aggravated assault and possessing a firearm while intoxicated.
Dannels was also charged with the latter count and both suspects were subsequently detained
at the Sevier County Jail.
In January of 2022, Romine was indicted on charges of first-degree murder, two counts
of aggravated assault and five counts of reckless endangerment in connection to the deadly incident.
#5 - William Buckley Stout On January the 8th of 2021, William Buckley
Stout was released from his position as a paramedic with Rowan County Emergency Services,
in North Carolina.
The 43-year-old’s termination occurred following allegations that he’d stolen a controlled
substance from an ambulance that wasn’t in use.
According to an arrest report, on January the 5th, Stout had taken a 10 milligram vial
of morphine from the emergency vehicle and then forged the name of another employee in
the ambulance’s inventory log book.
The paramedic’s actions were described as “unacceptable” by Rowan County government
officials.
It emerged that, in 2018, Stout, who’d previously been promoted to EMS lieutenant, was demoted
to paramedic for what was described as “non-disciplinary” reasons.
Approximately 2 weeks following the morphine theft, Stout was charged with embezzling a
controlled substance.
#4 - Kevin McCorvey On the evening of November the 12th of 2021,
a non-emergency ambulance driven by Kevin McCorvey carried a dialysis patient through
the town of Fairburn, Georgia, roughly 20 miles south of Atlanta.
At about 7:30 pm, McCorvey reportedly lost control of the vehicle and veered off the
road, which resulted in the ambulance turning over and rolling into a ditch.
Police officers who arrived at the scene shortly thereafter used a ladder to climb into the
back of the ambulance, where they found McCorvey, a female paramedic and the patient, identified
as 66-year-old Wilton Thomason Jr.
The paramedic was extricated safely from the overturned vehicle, and it was reported that
she’d only suffered a minor scratch in the accident.
The officers came upon McCorvey attempting to resuscitate an unconscious Thomason, who
was later pronounced dead as a result of trauma that he’d suffered in the crash.
As first responders were working to remove Thomason’s body from the ambulance, McCorvey
and the other paramedic called for an Uber in which they’d allegedly planned to flee
the scene.
The pair were quickly tracked down by local police, who noted that McCorvey’s breath
smelled distinctly of alcohol.
The ambulance driver ultimately admitted to having been intoxicated at the time of the
crash, and he was thereupon detained by law enforcement.
He was booked into the Fulton County Jail and charged with a DUI, second-degree vehicular
homicide, failure to maintain lane and possession of an open container.
According to the most recent updates on the case, McCorvey was denied bond during a hearing
at Fulton County Superior Court on November the 15th.
#3 - Joshua Colon Florida man Joshua Colon, who’d been named
Polk County’s “Paramedic of the Year” in 2020, was taken into police custody in
January of the following year, days after his resignation from Polk County Fire Rescue.
His arrest occurred following an investigation by the county sheriff’s office, which had
been launched after a battalion chief noticed inconsistencies in paperwork that Colon had
filed.
The decorated paramedic had reportedly been tasked with administering the COVID-19 vaccine
to other first responders.
Investigators discovered that three of the documents filed in connection to Colon’s
assignment had been forged, one with the name of a former Haines City firefighter, and two
with fake names.
Upon being interviewed by county deputies, Colon reportedly admitted to falsifying the
paperwork on behalf of Fire Rescue Captain Anthony Damiano.
The latter had allegedly asked Colon to obtain doses of the vaccine for his elderly mother.
The paramedic initially refused, but Damiano then threatened to tell his supervisors that
Colon was stealing the vaccine for himself.
Pressured by the threat, he begrudgingly went along with the Fire Captain’s scheme.
Colon was consequently charged with forgery, uttering a false instrument, criminal use
of personal identification, creating a fictitious person, and falsifying an official record
as a public servant.
Damiano, a 17-year veteran of the fire department, reportedly resigned with the intent to retire
before turning himself into the authorities.
He was charged with petty theft and falsifying official records.

#2 - Jonathan Vass Nurse Jane Clough was walking to her car,
on the night of July the 25th of 2010, after she’d just finished her shift in the Accident
and Emergency wing at Blackpool Victoria Hospital in Lancashire, England.
Before the 26-year-old made it to her vehicle, however, she was reportedly stabbed multiple
times by a male assailant.
Police were called to the hospital staff parking lot, at about 8:30 pm, and Clough was rushed
to the emergency room, located only about 100 yards away from where she’d been brutally
attacked.
Her co-workers fought to save her life, but she ultimately passed away a short time later.
Clough’s autopsy concluded that she’d succumbed to excessive blood loss resulting
from the 71 stab wounds she’d sustained.
The morning after the incident, law enforcement went to the home of paramedic Jonathan Vass,
in the village of Barrowford, and took the 30-year-old into custody.
According to subsequent findings, the man had previously left his wife to move in with
Clough.
Before her tragic death, Clough alleged that Vass had assaulted her in their home, a crime
for which the paramedic eventually faced charges.
He posted bail and Clough, upon learning he was out of police custody, reportedly wrote
several entries in her personal journal expressing fear that he might violate the terms of his
release and come after her.
Her prescient concerns came to tragic fruition on the night of July the 25th when Vass ambushed
her in the hospital parking lot and stabbed her to death.
He was consequently sentenced to a minimum prison term of 30 years.
#1 - Daniel Murphy Florida paramedic Daniel Murphy, aged 23,
got into an altercation with his girlfriend at their Lakeland residence, on June the 26th
of 2020.
Court documents detailed how the emergency worker had been confronted by his partner
of 7 months about his alleged infidelity, which led to heated arguments between them.
As the victim would later tell investigators, she’d been on the phone with a friend when
Murphy grabbed her arm, snatched the phone and threw it against the wall.
The woman consequently suffered bruising and she called the police.
By the time deputies arrived at the home, Murphy had already fled the scene, although
he too called the authorities a short time later to report that he’d actually been
the victim during the conflict with his girlfriend.
When officers made contact with the young man, they discovered that he had prescription
drugs, multiple IV lines and needles as well as saline bags and syringes in his possession.
After being questioned by detectives, Murphy ultimately confessed to stealing the medical
equipment from his place of work.
During police’s interviews with the paramedic’s girlfriend, more dramatic revelations followed.
It emerged that, after passing out from drinking too much one night, she’d awoken to find
an IV in her arm and what appeared to be blood being drawn out.
One of Murphy’s ex-girlfriends had also allegedly told the victim that the paramedic
frequently asked her if he could draw her blood during the course of their relationship.
Murphy later denied the allegations, but did admit to drawing people’s blood as part
of a friend’s “art project”.
He was taken into custody and charged with domestic violence battery, petty theft, and
possession of prescription drugs without a prescription.
Murphy’s employment with Polk County Fire Rescue was reportedly terminated following
his arrest.
