Rita is the mother of Lori and Leni. She believes they need love and discipline in equal doses. Very strict as well. Her efforts pay off, and the two pass school. In 2014, Lori connects with a local boy, Bobby Santiago. He's known as a bully in the neighborhood. He was also rebellious, to the point where he's cliche. Lori is drawn to him. The two go for a walk. Lori wants to be a rebel too. She loves her new look. Rita doesn't. She sees a mirror image of her daughter; her own father. Her father was a drug addict. (un)Fortunately, Rita got custody of Lori and Leni. Day and night, Lori is gone. Rita literally slapped Lori in the face. The teen lovers are inseparable, and the two also did it once or twice a day. Like velcro. Completely attached to each other. Rita did things to keep them apart. She finally realized she can't handle this. She goes to the New York Family Court. She wants Lori declared as a person in need of supervision. Rita essentially said she gave up. Lori doesn't want that to happen. Christmas 2014. Lori goes to Bobby's house. She calls Rita and tells here to stay home forever. The two plot to kill Rita. Three days, this goes on. December 28. The teens visit Rita. They turn off the TV. Bobby chokes Rita and Leni is dragged upstairs. To drawn out the sound, Lori sings Jingle Bells. Bobby put a rope around Rita's neck and put her on the ground until blood leaks out of her mouth and she dies. The teens dump her body in the trunk of the car, and celebrate by doing it (you know…). They didn't give a damn. They go shopping with Rita's money. Leni is never out of her sight and is terrified. On New Years Eve, Leni gets a chance to escape! She gets out of the house and goes to the neighbor's house. Horrified, the neighbors call the police. They go detail after detail. No remorse or anything. July 2017. Bobby is convicted of second degree murder and is eligible of parole in 2023. February 2017. Lori is also guilty, and is sentenced to 7 years 10 months in prison. In 2024, Lori is released.
