Randall Fuller was the leader of a self-improvement cult called Gracenote. He manipulated a boy named Doug Morgan into killing his half-brother and his father and giving him full control of the latter's money.
History[]
Fuller founded Gracenote as a self-improvement group aimed at counteracting "negative self-programming" by transforming one's "context", and subsequently developing a positive "life strategy". In reality, the entire program was operated as a cult, with Fuller brainwashing and exploiting weak-willed people to enrich himself. He occasionally made use of a follower, Lena Caruso, to rob his male victims of their assets.
At a certain point, he stumbled upon Doug Morgan, a young man who attended some of his seminars. Morgan unknowingly held $2 million from his father's swindles in several bank accounts listed in his name. With the help of Lena, Fuller convinced Doug to donate a major part of the loot to Gracenote, but Jimmy Connelly, Doug's half-brother, managed to freeze the rest.
Eventually, Doug's father, Mickey Connelly, discovered this and requested his money back. In order to cover up his tracks, Fuller made Doug and another follower incapacitate both Mickey and Jimmy, had them imprisoned inside a bathtub box until they revealed the location of the remaining cash, and urged Doug to kill them and make it appear like a murder-suicide. He also compelled Lena to commit suicide to silence her.
Detectives Goren and Eames were eventually able to arrest Fuller, who incriminated himself just after Doug confessed to being pushed into committing the murders by him. (CI: "Con-Text")
