Ruby P. Swisher was an 81-year-old resident of Bowman's Nursing Home in Ormond Beach, Florida, who died on July 27, 1989. Her death was first recorded as from natural causes but was later linked to a series of patient killings by 26-year-old former nurse’s aide Jeffrey Lynn Feltner. Investigators say Feltner smothered several elderly patients at facilities where he worked, including New Life Acres in Melrose and Clyatt Memorial Center in Daytona Beach, between 1988 and 1989.

Feltner reportedly confessed after a mental breakdown in July 1989 and was arrested on August 10, 1989. He admitted acting from a compulsion to end patients’ suffering, later recanted by saying he had fabricated confessions to expose poor conditions, then pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder in a deal that avoided the death penalty and received 25 years to life. Feltner died in custody on March 17, 1993, from complications related to AIDS. Swisher’s death is now regarded as part of that pattern of murders in Florida nursing facilities.

Did anyone have contact with Ruby Swisher or work at Bowman's Nursing Home around 1989 who can add details about her care or the facility’s practices?
