One of America’s most notorious serial killers, Jones has spent nearly 40 years behind bars, but is due for release in March as laws aimed at easing prison overcrowding slashed her 99-year and concurrent 60-year sentences in half!

Now authorities are scrambling to nail the 67-year-old baby-killer for more unspeakable crimes to keep her behind bars. But lawmen admit it won’t be easy — and getting her convicted the first time was touch-and-go, too.

Jones’ lethal spree was discovered while she was working in the eight-bed pediatric ICU at San Antonio’s Bexar County Medical Center, where the hearts or breathing of 42 infants and children had stopped between April 1981 to June 1982.

An investigation found that 34 of the kids died during the 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. rotation that workers began calling “the death shift,” and that one nurse was working the rotation during all of the deaths: Jones. The hospital, which found no connecting evidence, let Jones go — with a glowing recommendation.

Yet their internal probe noted “sudden and unexplained” complications in ten deaths and concluded: “This association of Nurse Jones with the deaths of the ten children could be coincidental. However, negligence or wrongdoing cannot be excluded.”

Jones then went to work at a nearby children’s clinic in Kerrville. After six children were poisoned, a doctor discovered Jones had been taking out doses of succinylcholine, a muscle paralyzer that stops breathing.

In 1984, Jones was convicted and sentenced to 99 years for murdering 15-month-old clinic patient Chelsea McClellan with a shot of succinylcholine. She was also convicted and sentenced to 60 years for attempting to kill month-old Rolando Santos with a shot of the blood thinner heparin, while at the Bexar ICU.

At the time, District Attorney Sam Millsap refused to attempt to convict her of any more of the dozens of suspected murders. “There will be no additional indictments of Genene Jones,” he said. “No useful purpose would be served. I think she will spend the rest of her life in jail.”

On Dec. 7, Jones was hauled into court and charged with five more murders. She pleaded not guilty to all of them. She’s being held on a $1-million bond at Bexar County Jail, but will be released in March if she posts bail.
