Interesting Facts[]
- Worked the crime scenes for Leanore Bastwick and Ledo’s murders, along with Dawson (head sweeper), Fizz, and Charis Cannery.[7]
- Was observed by Mason Tobias on December 15, while posing as a delivery person outside Ledo’s apartment building. He spotted her taking a picture of the building, and was able to work with Yancy on a sketch.[2]
- Dirk Hastings, her third target, was able to provide an excellent description of her (his girlfriend threw a bottle of pinot noir at her after she stunned him but before she could kill him).[3]
- Used Charis’s ID to gain access to Evidence and pick up explosives. When she was recognized by Officer Hanks, she claimed Charis must have picked up her ID by mistake when they were in the locker room and she’d already left for the day.[4]
- She claimed she was sent to Evidence to pick up the Dobey boxes to take in for reprocessing, and when Officer Hanks bent to pick up the ID she dropped, she stunned him, then restrained and gagged him.[4]
- She then assembled a suicide vest from explosives to take out all of Homicide.[4]
- Worked for four years as lab tech, over two years now as field tech.[4]
- Her mother and sister were killed in a vehicular accident. Two 15-year-old boys were out joyriding, drunk, and were charged with vehicular manslaughter. Juvie time, community service, mandatory rehab, and both of them were free and clear by their eighteenth birthday.[4]
- She cared for her grandmother for five years (until she died), and was left a lot of money by her, enabling her to come to New York. Her dead sister was the pretty and clever one, and then her stepsister was also the pretty and clever one, and she was always overlooked (in her mind).[6]
