Genene Jones- Biography
Genene Jones is a registered vocational nurse who is accused of killing up to 60 newborns and children in her care by inducing medical emergencies using extraordinarily potent medications. Jones was constantly investigated and even fired by two different medical facilities due to the extraordinarily high rate of mortality of the children in her care; yet, she continued to inject children with drugs that caused heart attacks and serious hemorrhage. She was finally tried for killing a four-week-old infant while getting a regular checkup and injuring several others, and she received a 99-year term, followed by a 60-year sentence for a second child murder attempt.
Her release was denied because of considerable protest from the victims’ families. While she is eligible for early release due to a Texas regulation designed to free up prison space, she will remain in jail pending trial for five new counts of infant murder.
Genene Jones- Birth, Age, Ethnicity, Siblings, Education
Genene Anne Jones was born on July 13, 1950, and was promptly adopted by Dick and Gladys Jones, a San Antonio couple who had previously adopted three children, one younger than Genene. Dick was a professional gambler and serial entrepreneur; he started a nightclub, then a restaurant, and finally a billboard company, all of which failed to owe to his reckless spending and took a toll on the family.
She feigned illness to get attention because she felt left out and unappreciated by her parents. Her loneliness was aggravated by her low stature and obesity, and she developed a reputation for being aggressive, as well as lying, manipulating, and deceiving others. Her younger brother, Travis, died in an accident when he was 14 years old, followed by the death of her father a year later due to cancer, which devastated her.
In order to gain security, she wanted to marry, but her mother, Gladys, objected on the grounds that it was too soon because she hadn’t even finished high school. After graduating from John Marshall High School, she married a high school dropout, but after seven months, her husband James “Jimmy” Harvey DeLany Jr. joined the Navy and left. Genene was a sexually insatiable woman who boasted about her carnal experiences.
Encouraged by her mother to pursue a career, she trained to be a beautician at Mim’s Beauty School and even had a kid, Richard Michael DeLany, after Jimmy returned, but four years later, on June 3, 1974, she divorced him, but they reunited and then went their separate ways. Heather, her second child, was born on July 17, 1977, during the era of reconciliation with Jimmy. Despite her love for children, she left her own two children in the care of her mother.
