Piper Thomas is a serial robber and killer/rapist of men, especially wealthy men, with her partner-in-crime Despina Johnson.
Background[]
The two would drug the men with a drug cocktail that was knocked off of "Purple Magic", a popular underground hallucinogen party elixir, before taking turns on them and stealing their valuables while leaving them tied to hotel beds. When their suppliers, Jade Chen and Felix Tinga, started giving them volatile batches, their victims started turning up dead, which lead to more suspicion and the police following them since the dead men were an escalation from the drugged men who were ashamed to report due to their wealth and marriage.
Trick-Rolled At The Moulin'[]
SVU was horrified to find out two of the duo's murder victims included Simon Marsden, Benson's half-brother, and Xavier Garcia, the violent boyfriend of Lily Bustani, Tamin's cousin. Even more dedicated to close the case, even through the additional attacks of the duo, the squad, partnered with Stabler, track the supply line, leading to Chen, Tinga, and Simon's friend Edward Buddusky, who arranged Thomas and Johnson partying with Simon and cleaned up the scene when he was murdered.
Thomas and Johnson were eventually tracked and arrested, denying everything and saying they just loved to enjoy their lifestyle. The evidence was too damning, as well as the carnage in their collective wake, so they were charged regardless with the maximum felonies and told to give up their suppliers for the Organized Crime Bureau to arrest them all in their jurisdiction.
Thomas and Johnson were found guilty on numerous charges of murder, manslaughter, rape, aggravated assault, drug possession and distribution, robbery, conspiracy, and several others, being imprisoned for life without parole. (SVU: "Trick-Rolled At The Moulin'")
