Don't Send Your Elders Here - Amy Archer Gilligan's Deadly Home for the Aged

Amy Archer-Gilligan was an American serial killer who operated a nursing home in Windsor, Connecticut. Early Life Amy Duggan was born on October 31, 1873, in Milton, Connecticut. She married James Archer in 1897, and the couple opened a home for elderly people in Newington, Connecticut. After James’s death in 1910, she married Michael Gilligan in 1913. The Nursing Home Amy ran the "Archer Home for the Elderly and Infirm" in Windsor, which she had established with her first husband. The home catered to elderly residents, many of whom had no other family and relied on Amy’s care. Suspicious Deaths Over the years, a suspiciously high number of residents died under Amy’s care. Many of these deaths were attributed to natural causes, but a pattern emerged: many of the deceased had recently altered their wills in Amy’s favor or had taken out life insurance policies naming her as the beneficiary. Investigation and Arrest In 1914, the death of Franklin R. Andrews, a seemingly healthy man, raised suspicions. His family pushed for an investigation, which uncovered that Amy had purchased large quantities of arsenic. An exhumation and autopsy of several bodies revealed lethal doses of arsenic and strychnine. Trial and Conviction Amy was arrested in 1916 and went on trial for murder. Initially convicted of the murder of Franklin R. Andrews, she was sentenced to death. The sentence was later changed to life imprisonment after a retrial in 1919. Later Life Amy spent the rest of her life in prison and a mental institution. She died on April 23, 1962, at the age of 88. Legacy The case inspired the play and subsequent film "Arsenic and Old Lace," highlighting the macabre story of Amy Archer-Gilligan and her deadly nursing home.
