Dana Wheatley is the daughter of businessman and criminal Richard Wheatley and his ex-wife Angela Wheatley.
History[]
After Manfredi died, Richie was upset and celebrated his life, which angered Dana. She then pulled Richie aside and told him that he should hate Manfredi because he hated her, Richie, Angela and Pilar because they were all people of colour. Richie dismissed Dana's protests, telling her to have respect for him as he had just died. (OC: "Not Your Father's Organized Crime")
Dana discovered that Gina Cappelletti was an undercover police officer after catching her putting a hidden camera in Richard's wine cellar. Both Richard and her alerted Richie, who refused to believe it at first but soon came to the realisation. When Richard ordered Richie to kill Gina, Richie refused. Richard told Dana and Richie that Dana would do it but Richie stopped her in her tracks and agreed to kill Gina. (OC: "I Got This Rat")
Dana was arrested for her part in several crimes alongside Richard and Richie and was temporarily imprisoned. When Stabler and Bell went to Richie's cell to question him about Gina's murder, Dana ordered Richie to keep quiet and not say a word to the police without a lawyer but a distressed Richie told Stabler and Bell everything, which infuriated Dana. (OC: "Everybody Takes a Beating Sometime")
Just before Christmas 2021, Dana and Angela ordered a neighbour of a girl named Mia Zabatino to murder her while Eli Stabler was at her place, making it look like Eli murdered her. When it was discovered that Eli did not murder her, he was acquitted of any wrongdoing but he was left traumatised by his ordeal. When Bell and Stabler went to question Angela and Dana, Dana hid from them. When they left, Dana asked Angela what they wanted. Angela told Dana that she thinks Dana should go away for a while and that Richard could organize something. (OC: "The Christmas Episode")
Fate[]
It is unknown what happened to Dana after Angela and Richard hid her from the police. Considering her whole family is dead, it is likely that if she wasn't arrested and imprisoned at some point that she left New York however this remains unclear.
Personality[]
She is extremely loyal to her family, especially her father and often assists him with his crimes, most notably the robbery of COVID-19 vaccines. She also holds a strong hatred towards Elliot Stabler just like Richard.
