surveillance tape shows her injecting him with heroin and watches him as he suffers a medical reaction and then collapses, yet she never tried to help, never tried to call 911. instead they say she stepped over his body several times trying to gather up her heroin needles and other belongings. even to finish a glass of wine. we also know what she did in the aftermath. we have her computer records, the google searches she made and the things she did to try to get out of this. police wouldn t specify how she tried to cover her tracks, but it was the fingerprints on the wine glass that led them to find her. they lured her to santa cruz by offering her $1,000 for sex, and when she arrived, she was carrying heroin. she sent the details oa sexual fetish publication and wrote on facebook, it s nice to talk to
