1. Anna Garcia had a bad relationship with Alex Garcia. However, previous to the visit William Peterson paid her in August, she had a one night stand with Alex Garcia. Alex Garcia was already in a relationship with Erica Piedmont, and when Erica and William discovered the one night stand, tensions were built. Alex and Erica had been involved in crimes before, but both had personality disorders and wanted to try to do something bigger. Murder had been on their minds, but they both thought it was too out of reach. A trip to her step-mother's apartment led Erica to suspect Anna was pregnant, because she was taking more pills than usual, and she was having morning sickness frequently. After talking to Anna's best friend Lucy, Erica confirmed her suspicions. After bringing this up to Alex, Alex had become furious at Anna because Anna had claimed to be on birth control. However, because of Anna's diabetes, her nosocomial infection at the time, and her heart problems; birth control was unhealthy for her to take. Alex and Erica decided that Anna needed to be killed to prevent the baby from being born and causing too many problems. The day of the murder, Anna skipped taking her ACE inhibitor and Lipitor, but she had taken a couple Aspirin to ease her morning sickness (hence the discovered puke on her clothes). Later that day, Alex and Erica travelled to a Walmart to steal some supplies for the big night. At around dusk, Erica called to tell Anna they would be coming over to visit. Anna, fearing Erica lately because of the knife that had been pulled on her in a store, decided her usual 3 daily glasses of wine wouldn't make the cut. Her business partner, Doug Greene, had recently introduced her into much harder drugs. Anna injected herself with Heroin to make Erica's visit easier. After their arrival, Alex got into a heated argument with Anna about the baby which ended in Alex giving Anna a blow to the head with a bat. Anna fought back, only to be met by a rope with which Erica Garcia strangled her with. Anna clawed and attacked the best she could (which caused her to lose fingernails), but with her weak heart, the lack of oxygen quickly caused her to pass out. Her unconsciousness was also fueled by a lack of energy which resulted from Anna forgetting to pump her insulin this morning. Upon falling unconscious, Erica quickly removed the rope but was concerned that the baby wasn't dead yet as well. To make sure this was no longer a worry of hers, Erica stabbed Anna Garcia multiple times in the stomach, killing what used to be a baby. Scared they would get caught if they left her there, they quickly grabbed trash bags from the kitchen to wrap up the body. They trashed her apartment in the process, knocking over pill bottles and such. They stole Anna's car and travelled over to the nearest Motel 6, paying for the cheapest room. Erica asked a desk clerk if she could use a large luggage rolling cart, but was refused it. Instead, she stole it and used it herself. After using stain remover to clean up their clothes, Alex and Erica stole bed linens from their room to further wrap up Anna's lifeless body. They snuck out of the back of the Motel 6 with the body wrapped up and shoved it back in the car. The two murderers then travelled to the nearest dumpster, which was behind Doug Greene's laundry business. After shoving the rest of their trash into the dumpster along with Anna, they threw away their shoes for good measure. The couple then fled to California because they knew they would have family to stay with, and they have not been seen since. Doug Greene woke up to an interesting surprise behind his business the next day.
