Doris Moriarty, an 83-year-old resident of the Clyatt Memorial Center in Daytona Beach, Florida, died on July 11, 1989. At the time, she had been living at the nursing home for three years and her death was initially attributed to natural causes with no foul play suspected.

About a month later, a former nurse’s aide at the center, Jeffrey Lynn Feltner, contacted a television station under the name Jack and later was identified by the facility’s administrator as having been on duty the night Moriarty died. Feltner reportedly told others he had suffocated patients and, after arrest, confessed to killing Moriarty and several other patients. He later recanted, saying the confessions were fabricated to draw attention to neglect and abuse. Ultimately he pleaded guilty to two counts of murder, including Moriarty’s, and received a life sentence with a mandatory minimum of 25 years.

Does anyone have information about Moriarty’s care at the Clyatt Memorial Center or recall the response to these allegations at the time?
