Ella Christiansen is the only daughter and child of Everett Drake and his first wife and the mother of two children, one of whom is deceased.

History

When Ella was 18 she began having a sexual relationship with her father that resulted in two pregnancies over the next two and a half years.

Ella was a suspect for murder in the death of her first child in Newark, New Jersey. However, as no charges were brought up against her, the investigation was dropped.

She was tried for the attempted murder of her second child in New York, but was acquitted by reason of mental defect and is currently institutionalized. But after she revealed to Olivia Benson that her first child in New Jersey was alive when it was born and that she did kill it, charges would be filed against her for its death after her release from the psychiatric facility, though it is likely that the same verdict was to be expected.

Just before she was committed, her father received an injunction barring him from having any contact with Ella's second child for life.
