We all watched in shock as Elizabeth Holmes, once hailed as the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire, rose to the top with Theranos, promising to revolutionize medicine through a single drop of blood. But when it all came crashing down, she left a trail of shattered dreams, empty bank accounts, and broken trust behind her.

For more than two decades, Jana profiled serial killers, liars, and white-collar criminals. If anyone knows what evil really looks like, it’s her.
