Elizabeth Hendrick is an art patron, sadomasichism culture figure, and murderer. She drugged photographer Victor Moore to direct him to be killed by autoerotic asphyxiation, with the assistance of city commissioner and submissive accomplice Henry Rothman. Hendrick had a history of brutally abusing men in the BDSM world, nearly killing a club employee named Gary Pardine.
In spite of Hendrick ordering Rothman to not sell her out, he agreed to testify in exchange for a plea. Hendrick ordered Rothman to recant his testimony and believed she could manipulate the jury in her favor. When Rothman killed himself in his cell, he left pictures proving Hendrick was at the scene of the murder, resulting in her arrest. She remarked how she’d have loved to see pictures of Rothman’s death.
Hendrick was found guilty of murder and tampering and was imprisoned. (L&O: “Prisoner of Love”)
