Brent Allen Banks was a suspect in the rape, torture, and murders of a woman named Gabriella Trevino and her daughter Ilaria.
History
In 1993, Brent had a prior conviction after pleading guilty to the rape-kidnapping of a 15-year-old girl named Maryellen Seaver and served seven years of a 14-year sentence in prison. Six years after he was released, he found the Trevinos after a broke Gabriella tried to sell Ilaria's bicycle to get some money.
After the only evidence in the case against Brent was suppressed, the indictment against him was dismissed without prejudice, causing the delusional Andrew Munch to take matters into his own hands. Andrew found Brent about to flee the jurisdiction via subway, then pushed him onto the tracks, leaving him to be run over by a passing train. (SVU: "Uncle")
