Angela Agnelli was the best friend of Lisa Downey. She confessed to killing Dr. Derek Tanner in order to retrieve a tape that showed her having sex with him and Lisa.
History[]
Angela and Lisa were Catholic school students with lives considered unbecoming to the people around them: the teenage girls were expansively sexually active, starting off by prostituting themselves at the mall and then at a hotel to buy all they wanted for themselves, eventually being known by their peers at their usual grounds. Angela gave out "sex bracelets" for the two of them and other girls at their school as a joke.
Their promiscuity soon turned into Lisa becoming a teenage porn actress under the employment and direction of producer Max Long, Long was known for having a heavy disregard for sexual safety among his cast and crew, including STD transmission. Lisa, who excelled in Long's films as "Trudi Strutts", contracted HIV and was endangering Long's ratings, so he killed Lisa with a tripod and left her for dead on a rooftop.
After Lisa was identified by her cousin Allison, whose ID Lisa was using, her best friend Angela tracked through her circle of friends. When Lisa's promiscuities tracked all the way to the mall, Angela was found giving a blowjob to Brian, the manager of her favorite clothing store. She admits to the detectives her and Lisa's dalliances and leads them to the hotel, where Lisa's doctor, Derek Tanner, is revealed to have been a regular customer despite being married.
Angela finds out Tanner has a sex tape of both her and Lisa with Tanner, which was recorded by Long. Desperate to get it back to save her pride, Angela went to Tanner's apartment and tried to threaten Tanner with her father's gun to take it for herself. When Tanner didn't want evidence of statutory rape out of his hands, Angela shot Tanner dead and stole it back, leaving the detectives to find Tanner when they were ready to question him again.
When Tanner's locker reveals Angela's monogrammed scarf, Angela's locker is searched and reveals the sex tape. Angela leads the detectives to Long, finding Lisa's hair in the tripod used to killer and resulting in Long's arrest. But when Angela's prints are found in Tanner's apartment, she's confronted at school and confesses. She breaks down in tears and hugs Stabler, who was reminded by his own children throughout the case, telling him she only wanted her life back.
Angela was likely arrested, found guilty of second-degree murder and robbery, and was imprisoned. (SVU: "Hooked")
