Katrina Ludlow is a charity organizer and a psychopathic, manipulative murderer.
History[]
Ludlow was in partnership with Julian Spector to build a sports stadium named after Spector, Ludlow hired to sweeten the pot by having an affair with one of Spector’s friends and sponsors, Gilbert Sanderson. Sanderson was pulling out of his intended high ratings, which would cost Spector millions in his investments, leading to Spector buying potent viagra from a drug dealer and pulling financial strings to bribe Ludlow to poison Sanderson with the drug during their latest tryst at a fundraiser. Ludlow herself planned to double-cross Spector once he came under suspicion to keep the stadium rights for herself.
It went off without a hitch, as Sanderson collapsed from a heart attack while dining with his wife out at a restaurant. Ludlow originally admitted to the affair without revealing the murder plot, and Spector’s motive was revealed, leaving to the prosecution convening a grand jury. Ludlow asked for protection in exchange for evidence. She produced the viagra she killsd Gilbert Sanderson with, but she also tried to seduce Curtis who rebuffed her.
Once Ludlow was revealed during Spector’s trial to have been actively involved by uncovering the bribe, she was to face a murder two charge. She threatened against it by swearing to lie she and Curtis had an affair after all, reducing his and the evidence’s credibility. Spector’ attorney also interrogated Curtis on the stand the same way, but he didn’t break from the truth. Spector was found guilty, and Ludlow, taunting Curtis with her successes, walked away with inheritance of the stadium, which she argued rich people long have resorted to crime to get such achievements and nothing’s changed.
