Josie Post is an exotic dancer at the 4-Play strip club under the employment of Wally Rimaldi and his crime family. She and her colleagues unionized for better pay and benefits, represented pro bono by prestigious lawyer Vicky Riggs. The women at the club didn't see much of a change in their work, but Vicky closed the deal on what she could with she herself being employed as a stripper at the club, with Josie as her closest confidant.
Vicki was murdered, so detectives spoke to Josie and told them about her stalker, Tim. Tim was innocent, as was Vicky's ex-fiance Alan Anthony Winchell, who called off their engagement after finding out the truth of her night job. Josie was later strangled to death as well in the same fashion, by Walter Inman, a former mercenary hired by Vicky's colleague Tessa McKellen to kill the two women and frame Tessa's husband Linus. Linus was having an affair with Vicky, and Josie provided her apartment for their meetings. (SVU: "Manipulated")
