Tammy Mills is a divorcee, a con artist, and an accomplice to murder.

History[]

Tammy left her husband from feeling abandoned, as she didn't see him during his time of working on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. She met failed lawyer Leanne Baker online, and Baker seduced her for her purposes of needing a partner for cons she was ready to carry out. Baker used Tammy as bait to lure married men into affairs, which Baker would take photos of and used as blackmail to extort the men. But Tammy fell for their latest mark, writer Noah Brenzer, which led Baker to improvise when Tammy didn't gather incriminating photos of Brenzer with Tammy and a Ukranian woman who was being prostituted, Anya Pugach, had a three-way tryst.

Baker killed Anya, photographed her next to an unconscious Brezner, and demanded 200 grand for not selling him out to the police. However, Baker still went through with the frame job, the con getting him arrested. Tammy was tracked and questioned, with Baker as her representation and making her lie Brezner never told her about the setup. Baker then made Tammy hang up on Brezner when he tried to call her from holding, before the two made out in the car. Brezner was devastated and hanged himself in the cell. But because his knot tying failed to properly get him hanged the first two times, it cleared him as the killer.

Tammy was arrested when Patrick Cardell, a bar owner Baker seduced into using his bar as a hunting ground, identified Tammy in a lineup as having been with Brezner. Men in the holdup were stalking the women with predatory looks. Tammy was confronted by the detectives, with Baker still trying to silence her, about how they knew Brezner didn't kill Anya. When given Brezner's suicide note to read, Tammy tearfully confessed to the blackmail scheme and chastised Baker for the murder. Baker just bitterly insulted Anya and degraded Tammy over her need to be loved. Both women were arrested on the spot, with Tammy solemnly saying she can finally admit she was left with nothing because of working with Baker.

Tammy was found guilty of blackmail, extortion, conspiracy, accessory, harassment, and false incrimination and was imprisoned. (CI: "Lonelyville")
