The Story

Candi and Ginger worked together at a strip club. Ginger worked as a bartender and Candi was the entertainment. Ginger had used drugs before, but had been clean for some time. Candi used drugs frequently and tried to convince Ginger to join her. Candi really wanted Ginger’s money so she could pay for drugs. Ginger refused to give her money or do drugs, but Candi persisted in asking. This led Ginger send a note to one of her friends asking for help, however, she was never able to send the note. Before she could, Candi, after several drinks at a bar, sought out Ginger for money again and this time, when she refused, assaulted her. The fight ended with Candi murdering Ginger. After taking everything of value on Candi’s person, but the necklace (It was fake and worth very little) she wrote a short note to explain, then fled.
