Abigail Fleming is a little girl who witnessed the murder of Carl Mullaly by Hannah Welch.
History[]
Abigail and her father, ER doctor Evan Fleming, lived in the same apartment building as predator Carl Mullaly, with Hannah Welch, who was repeatedly raped by Mullaly when Mullaly worked with her father, slipping a note under their door anonymously revealing the truth. Abigail saw her and reported it to her father, who threw the note out and told the daycare where Mullally worked, which got Mullaly fired. Abigail later saw Welch run out of Mullaly's apartment and told Evan when he got back from his night shift. Evan fond Mullaly dead, then called a delivery man so his daughter and he wouldn't have to testify, having already seen in the break room Mullaly exposed as a predator in the pedophile-sting show Hard Focus.
Other tenants directed detectives to the Flemings because of Abigail being in the building. While on his shoulders, Abigail repeated with him they saw and heard nothing, as Evan made her agree to. But Evan's lies unraveled when he was found out to have reported Mullaly to his managers and then called the delivery man. When threatened with jail time, he agreed to bring Abigail in for her testimony. She described Welch perfectly and tied her to both the murder and the note, before picking Welch out of a lineup. Welch was arrested and took a plea for leniency. (L&O: "Public Service Homicide")
