I never saw the movie. I did not need to because I worked with the victim Catherine Viramontes
and recall vividly the night this crime happened. While working, Catherine made a comment to
a few of us that she was so over ready to have the baby. She mentioned that a friend, who was a nurse was coming over to induce her labor. Several of us told her to not do this. It just sounded so wrong. Catherine left early from work and then we finished our shifts around 1 am.
When I got home and climbed into bed, my boyfriend had the news on the TV. I was almost asleep when a breaking news report stated that a nurse in Van Nuys had murdered a young woman and
stolen the newborn. I sat straight up and knew immediately that it was Cathy.
We were devastated at the horror of this happening to a sweet young woman who was well liked,
and very peaceful.
