Sword and Scale Host

They were soulmates.

When detectives interviewed Alicia for the first time, she didn't want to say much.

But after she realized that she could be implicated and ultimately serve time, that's when she started to talk.

On paper, Alicia didn't look like the kind of woman who'd ever be connected to a double homicide.

She was a mental health worker and she was married.

But somehow she was charmed by this asshole.

After his release in April 2017, Alicia became more than just his girlfriend.

She was his driver, his banker, and his safety net.

When parole rules barred Tom from living with her, she paid for his motel rooms.

When he needed money, she wired it.

And when he called her in the middle of the night, she came.

On May 12, 2017, Alicia drove to pick him up.

after he made a desperate phone call.

She remembered his left index finger was badly cut, a fresh wound he couldn't easily explain.

Tom's version started with his relationship with John.

He felt sorry for John because Regina was taking advantage of him.

What started as a partnership had turned into a one-way street that ended with Regina being the only happy partner.

She came and went as she pleased.

She took John's money and did little in exchange.

She even started seeing other guys and bringing them back to the house.
