81-Year-Old Nun Poisoned By Jealous Male
Roommate
 Nov.4, 2004 A 29-year-old man will be
arraigned today for attempted murder in Gallup, N.M., on a complaint
that he poisoned an 81-year-old Catholic nun to get her out of the house
they both shared with a Catholic priest, Reverend Thomas Maikowski.
Derek Kolb was reported to police by a
mental health professional who said Kolb confessed to trying to kill
Sister Margret Mary Liebst by putting sulfuric acid in her cereal,
Windex in her tuna and by replacing her insulin with water, according a
report by Leslie Wood in the Gallup Independent.
Kolb allegedly committed the acts in
2002 to shift Father Maikiowski's attention from the nun, who had been
friends with the priest for 20 years, to himself. Kolb told police he
realized the acid could kill Liebst, but attributed his behavior to an
ongoing bout with depression.
Sister Liebst and Father Maikiowski say they are no longer in contact with Kolb.
