A former Texas nurse serving a 99-year sentence for killing a child and suspected in the poisoning deaths of dozens more has been indicted on a new charge of murdering a toddler 35 years ago. Genene Jones, 66, was indicted by a grand jury Wednesday in the September 1981 death of 2-year-old Rosemary Vega, according to the Bexar County Prosecutor’s Office. Law enforcers are focusing fresh attention on the killer nurse because a 1970s state law aimed at easing prison overcrowding mandates that she be freed on parole in March 2018. “Our Office will attempt to account for every child whose life was stolen by the actions of Jones. “Prior to her mandatory release, she will be extradited back to Bexar County where she will await trial for the new charges,” LaHood said Wednesday.
