Monsters Among Us: Richard Worthington killed nurse Karla Roth in his effort to kill Dr. Glade Curtis because he performed a tubal ligation on his wife

Karla Roth

Richard Worthington pled guilty and was sentenced to 35 years in prison. He committed suicide on 11/11/1993. Dr. Glade Curtis is a great doctor. He was my doctor at one time (a few months before this incident happened) and I was very happy with him as my doctor. He is a great doctor and loved by many. So was Karla Roth, the nurse that Richard Worthington shot and killed that night. Her family and friends still love and miss her.
