Gwendolyn Graham


Nurses Gwendolyn Graham and Catherine Wood were not only co-workers at the Alpine Manor Nursing Home in Walker, Michigan, but lesbian lovers who's sexual appetite went into overdrive at the thought of murder. Together they killed six elderly females that resided at the home and on more than one occasion made love as they washed the body of thier victim in preperation for burial.

Wood eventually told her ex-husband about the killings, perhaps because she was afraid of what Graham would to to the children in her charge at her new job, or more likely because Graham had taken on a new girlfriend. The man immediately informed police who charged Graham with six counts of murder and anointed Wood the prosecutions star witness. Predictably, Wood managed to put the bulk of the blame on her twisted ex-lover.

Graham went to trial in 1988 and Wood told the court of her role as lookout when Graham suffocated the helpless women. When the trial was over it was no contest and Graham was easily convicted on all counts and sentenced to life without the possiblity for parole. For her part Wood recieved a sentence of 20-40 years.
