Changes: Stephanie Harker

Revision as of 15:52, 30 October 2014

Stephanie Harker was a Canadian national who resided in New York City.

Her father owned a souvenir stand on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. She was so depressed at watching rich American tourists in Canada that she once said she wished she could have left any way she could, including in a barrel over the Falls.

She ran over her future-husband's first wife in Canada.

She was arrested for ordering her friend Doris Nichols to shoot her husband and stepdaughter. She later killed Nichols. She fled to Canada and was later arrested, but the Canadian authorities initially refused to extradite her, citing the capital charge and Canada's opposition to the death penalty. They relented when promised by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office that they would not seek the death penalty.

Upon discovering new evidence strongly depicting the nature of the crime, District Attorney Adam Schiff went back on his word and sought the death penalty.

She was sentenced to death for the murders. (L&O: True North)
