Number 7 Amy Locane
Amy Locane is a former actress who achieved mainstream success in the early 1990s,
starring in films like Cry Baby and School Ties as well as in the first season of the prime-time
soap opera Melrose Place. Locane got engaged to businessman Mark Bovenizer, in 2007, with whom
she had two daughters. On June the 27th of 2010, in Montgomery, New Jersey, Locane was driving her
car at 53 mph in an area for which speed was restricted at 35. She crashed into a vehicle
driven by Fred Seeman, who was traveling at 3 mph as he’d made a left-hand turn in front of Locane
to enter his driveway. Seeman’s wife, 60-year-old Helene, was killed in the collision. Testing
revealed that Locane’s blood alcohol levels were almost three times over the legal limit. She
was convicted of vehicular homicide and, in early 2013, ordered to serve only three years in prison,
with a judge factoring the welfare of her children into his decision. After she was
released from prison, in 2015, her husband filed for divorce and the custody of their two children.
A New Jersey court of appeals would subsequently review her initial sentence and deemed it to have
been too lenient. Double jeopardy, the procedural defense by which a person can’t be tried
twice for the same crime, didn’t apply because she’d already served her sentence and parole
term. In September of 2020, she was re-sentenced to 8 years in prison, of which she’d have to serve
a minimum of 6 before being eligible for parole. Number 6 Jacquelyn McKee
Jacquelyn McKee, an adult actress who performed as Foxy Jacky, was arrested in 2010,
for assaulting her husband at their home in Memphis, Tennessee. Jacquelyn, a woman in her late
20s, was no stranger to controversy and had made headlines about two years prior, for filming adult
content for her website in public places. It’s believed that she and her husband, Justin, were
in the process of getting a divorce when the man went to retrieve some belongings from their shared
Cordova residence. The couple got into an argument and Jacquelyn, who was texting at the time,
shoved her phone into Justin’s face. She then reportedly pushed the man, kicked him in the head
and scratched his back. The police arrived at the home and Jacquelyn was taken away in handcuffs.
She was charged with domestic assault-bodily harm and later released from Shelby County Jail.
Number 5 Cindy Taylor
Adult film actress Cindy Taylor, an inductee into the industry’s Hall of Fame,
was arrested in February of 2020, for beating up her boyfriend. The man awoke to find Taylor,
better known to those familiar with her work as Jesse Jane, throwing away his medication. Earlier
in the night, the couple had been sharing drinks at the address in Moore, Oklahoma. The argument
escalated after he confronted her. Taylor would later claim that she’d flown into a fit of rage
because her boyfriend had actually been taking oral anabolic steroids. The police responded to
a call of domestic disturbance and found them in the driveway. Taylor had violently attacked
her boyfriend, whose left eye had been swollen shut and who was bleeding from a deep bite mark
on his hand. She’d told officers that the man had initiated the physical altercation
by grabbing her by the neck and throwing her in a wall. She didn’t, however, have any injuries
and the police found her story questionable. Taylor was arrested and charged with domestic
violence but has since been released. Number 4 Mollie Fitzgerald
In December of 2019, actress Mollie Fitzgerald was arrested in Olathe, Kansas, and charged with
second-degree murder for fatally stabbing her mother, 68-year-old Patricia. Mollie, aged 38,
had a minor role in “Captain America: The First Avenger”, a project for which
she was also the director’s assistant, and had additionally directed, produced and starred in
several other productions of a lower budget. The fatal stabbing occurred on December the 20th.
Mollie, who’d recently moved back in with her parents, would tell the authorities that Patricia
had come at her with the knife and that she’d acted in self-defense. Once she’d taken control
of the knife, Mollie claimed that she was forced to stab Patricia because she kept trying to take
it from her. It was a version of events seemingly unsupported by the post-mortem examination.
Patricia, who’d been stabbed four times in the back, also had defensive injuries in the form of
cuts on both her hands and her thumb had nearly been sliced off. There was also bruising on her
face and around her neck, suggesting attempted strangulation. Mollie chose to act as her own
attorney in the matter and her trial is ongoing as is the investigation which may produce further
revelations into why she’d killed her mother. Number 3 Tucker Reed
In 2018, Aisling Tucker Moore-Reed starred in an independent horror film called “From the Dark”,
under the name Wyn Reed. A scene showed her character, Valerie Faust, shooting someone dead
at a remote Oregon property. It turned out to be a grim example of art imitating real-life events as,
the day after wrapping up, Reed was arrested for fatally shooting her uncle at her parents’ home
in Oregon. The incident dated back to a few years prior and the studio claimed to have been unaware
of Reed’s legal problems right up to the point that she was officially arrested and charged.
Producers argued that a low budget hadn’t allowed for background checks. On July the 26th of 2016,
Reed was meeting with her mother and grandmother as well as a notary, over a property dispute with
her maternal uncle, Shane Moore. He’d allegedly been pressuring Reed’s grandmother into signing a
deed, something that the actress and her mother didn’t want her to do. The man had reportedly
assaulted Reed in 2015 and she’d obtained a restraining order against him. Within roughly
10 seconds of arriving at the home, Moore was shot dead by Reed. She was charged with first
and second degree manslaughter but her mother stated that she’d acted in self-defense. Reed was
bailed out and went on to act in “From the Dark” under a modified name. At some point leading up
to her 2018 arrest, the authorities managed to obtain footage from Reed’s cellphone that they
hadn’t been able to recover during the initial investigation. It showed Moore, through a window,
heading towards the front door and an enraged Reed shouting for someone to grab a gun. As her mother
confronted him, Reed, with her cellphone still in hand and without warning, shot Moore in the chest.
A gunshot was heard in the audio but the footage only showed the aftermath of Moore bleeding in the
driveway. As panic overtook the women, a sobbing Reed was heard claiming that she’d merely meant to
fire a warning shot and scare him. It was based on the footage that the actress was formally charged
and subsequently sentenced to six years and three months, after a 2020 deal in which she pleaded
guilty to second degree manslaughter. Earlier that same year, she’d been charged with supplying
contraband and unlawfully possessing heroin while housed at the Jackson County Jail.

Number 2 Felicia Pearson
Prior to her breakout and critically-acclaimed performance in The Wire, a series in which she
appeared from 2004 to 2008, Baltimore woman Felicia Pearson had had a troublesome past. Her
mother was a crack addict, who continued to abuse the drug while pregnant. Pearson was born severely
underdeveloped and wasn’t expected to live. She beat the odds and survived but, as a youth,
became involved with drugs as a dealer. In her late teens, Pearson was convicted of second-degree
murder for fatally shooting teenager Okia Toomer and was sentenced to two eight-year terms. She
was released in 2000 and, several years later, was introduced to the producers and writers of
The Wire by Michael K. Williams, who played Omar Little. Pearson had met him at a Baltimore club.
She went on to play the semi-fictional character of Felicia “Snoop” Pearson and renowned novelist
Stephen King would refer to her performance as "perhaps the most terrifying female villain to
ever appear in a television series." The role launched her acting career which would include
appearances in various hip-hop music videos, roles in Spike Lee films and appearances on
the 8th and 9th seasons of reality show Love & Hip Hop: New York. Unfortunately, Pearson
eventually fell back into her old ways. She and several others were arrested for drug offences,
in March of 2011, following a DEA operation that resulted in the raid of her Baltimore home.
In August, she pleaded guilty to the charges and was given a suspended seven-year prison term.
Number 1 Aubrey Gold
From 2015 to 2018, American adult film actress Lauren Wambles, who performed as Aubrey Gold,
appeared in dozens of adult films and, once she ended her career, she amassed a lengthy criminal
record, mostly relating to drug offences. However, in the summer of 2020, Wambles would face more
serious charges in connection to the murder of Alabama man Raul Ambriz Guillen, aged 51. He was
found buried in a shallow grave, in Florida, after being declared missing by his daughter
since July the 4th. Her reports indicated that he’d called his ex-wife to let her know that he
was in the company of dangerous people and that he needed to find a way out of the situation.
He’d asked his ex for money but she couldn’t help him as she was in the process of moving at the
time. Guillen had last been seen at the Graceville home of Jeremie Odell Peters, where he’d met with
23-year-old Wambles and her boyfriend William Shane Parker, aged 35. The complex, multi-county,
two-state investigation that ensued could trace its inception to early May, in Alabama.
An unnamed woman, who was roommates with Guillen, went to the sheriff’s office in Jackson County,
to report that she’d been abused by Parker. She would later state that she believed Guillen
had been murdered but was unable to prove it. The connection was made, thus the authorities
in Florida and Alabama collaborated in identifying Peters, Parker and Wambles as suspects. The police
got a warrant to search Peters’ residence and a second home, in both of which they found
evidence of murder. They then used cadaver dogs and traced Guillen’s remains to a grave site in
the northeast of Holmes County. He’d died from a single gunshot wound to the back of the head.
Parker was charged with open count of murder, Wambles with being a principle to murder and
Peters was charged as an accessory. Their trials are ongoing as is the investigation
which could eventually produce more arrests. Thanks for watching! Who would you like to
