Found a 1987 newspaper in the ceiling of this Kmart with an article about serial killer Donald Harvey, who had 37 confirmed kills and 87 suspected killings over the course of 17 years while working as a hospital orderly in Kentucky and Ohio. ๐งต
Harvey also poisoned his lover, Carl Hoeweler, Hoeweler's father, and two of his neighbors with arsenic. Hoeweler's father and one of the neighbors died.
He used a variety of ways to kill his victims, including several different poisons and more inventive methods.

Harvey was, surprise surprise, in the USAF and was discharged after nervous breakdowns and suicide attempts.
He was also fired from a VA hospital for "stealing body parts for occult rituals"

Harvey was sentenced to 28 consecutive life sentences in 1987. In 2017 he was fatally beaten to death by another inmate, James Elliott, who was from the area of Kentucky Harvey had done some of his killings.
I'll need to do some more digging into the occult practices aspect of Donald Harvey and look into his time with the Air Force. Just thought it was an interesting article to find in an old newspaper that fell out of an acoustic ceiling at work. Hadn't ever heard of this guy before
