Christopher Duntsch, now known as "Dr. Death," had his medical license revoked in 2013 (more on that below), per Pro Publica. He subsequently moved back in with his parents in Colorado and was about $1 million in debt. Duntsch had two sons with girlfriend Wendy Young, the second being born in 2014 — yes, in the wake of his crimes. Duntsch's life seemed to unravel in Colorado, as he was charged with a DUI in 2014 and was arrested for shoplifting in 2015. 

Then, after prosecutors tirelessly worked on his case for months, he was taken into custody in July 2015 for his medical malpractice. Duntsch's official trial started in 2017. He faced five counts of aggravated assault and one count of injury to an elderly person — although there were many injured and deceased patients who weren't represented in these charges. One strong piece of evidence used in the case was an eery email he wrote to a colleague in 2011. "You, my child, are the only one between me and the other side. I am ready to leave the love and kindness and goodness and patience that I mix with everything else that I am and become a cold blooded killer," he said, per Dallas Morning News.

To no surprise, Duntsch was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison, despite filing appeals, per Pro Publica. He has been held in a Texas prison ever since. His first chance of parole eligibility and potential release is in 2045.
