Louise Karnaki was one of the prime suspects in the murder of Melody Quinn.
History[]
Karnaki was in love with gaming addict Garrett Perle and submitted to his demands. When Perle wanted to kill based on his favorite game, NtenCity, she complied. She lured lonely sex fiend Larry Tauber out of a strip club to set him up with Melody just for Perle's plans.
Perle and Karnaki beat and kicked Quinn to death and ran her over with a car, followed by Perle calling the cops with police dialect learned from the game as a taunt after the murder. Perle then paid game creator Stuart Davis to send Tauber a harassing email to make him commit suicide. Perle and Karnaki beat and kicked Tauber's corpse also as part of the game.
Karnaki was tracked from security footage at the strip club and arrested once Melody's tissue was found on Karnaki's shoes. Perle was arrested, but he wiped his hard drive to prevent the detectives from having evidence. The couple's defense was Tauber made them do it and Perle didn't have competence from the games. But when Davis testified about the email and perle laughed about the crimes as a joke on the stand shortly after, the defense was squashed.
Both were found guilty of second-degree murder and are serving the maximum sentence in Bedford Hills Correctional Facility. (SVU: "Game")
