History[]
Little is known about Sanders other than she dated Jay Seaver for some time before he broke up with her. She never got over the relationship and began staking him around. When he killed a man, Martin Pearlman, for his apartment, she took the murder weapon, a utility cutter, and hid it to cover up his crime and show her devotion. As afraid as he was, he let her to take the opportunity. From then on, she vowed to keep her to himself and kill whoever stood in her or Seaver's way. She first killed his girlfriend, Katrina Hannigan, and then his colleague in line for a position he wanted, Patrick Wakefield. He was first suspected, but when he revealed her existence and the stalking, the murders were tied to her. To throw off suspicion, Seaver hired an attorney for her, alleging he "felt responsible", yet he was also later tied to his own murder and arrested. She later ended up either incarcerated or institutionalized, depending in her competency.
