The arch villain in
Clovis Road , Jim Thomas, used chloroform as part of his modus operandi along with head injuries, tying people up, masks, and gun battles. Hollywood villians of Spectre used chloroform in the 1965 James Bond movie
Thunderball. In his January 2012 article, “Good Drugs, Bad Doctors,” in Anesthesiology News, A J Wright discusses several notable true crimes associated with chloroform and other anesthetic drugs. He states these types of crimes began in the mid 1800s and the latest he cited was the “Mormon sex in chains” alleged kidnapping case from 1977. While Jim Thomas was not a doctor he was trained in anesthetic technique in the Nebraska prison hospital he was confined to until he returned to Texas.
