Dana Sue Gray’s life reads like a script torn in half. On one side stands the driven nurse and fearless athlete, a woman shaped by a volatile mother, early loss, and a desperate hunger to feel in control. On the other is the predator who stepped through unlocked doors in quiet retirement communities, charming elderly women long enough to get close, then killing them for the thrill of spending their money. Her victims’ final moments were followed by spa treatments, perfume, and shopping sprees that briefly numbed whatever storm was raging inside her.
