Biography[]
2007[]
Amanda visits Joe Carroll in jail to ask for advice after having killed her husband and the woman he was having an affair with. She hacked up their bodies, and drove to Florida to dump them in a swamp. Unable to return to Oklahoma, she tells Joe that she has nowhere to go. Joe advises her to contact Roderick for a place to stay.
2013[]
Overcome with emotion at Joe's return, Amanda tells him that she wants her 'chapter' to have a happy ending. She and Louise begin killing women named Claire Matthews, after Joe's wife, in at attempt to draw Ryan Hardy out. When she takes the last Claire Matthews hostage in a face-off with Ryan, she tells him that she has to teach him a lesson for sleeping with Joe's wife. He admits that he is still in love with Claire, and asks Amanda to shoot him with her nail gun to punish him instead. As Amanda moves to do so, Ryan tackles her and frees the hostage, and the police apprehend Amanda and arrest her for the double murder of her husband and his lover.
She is still in custody, as Debra mentioned she has talked about trivial things (albet in a sarcastic and cruel way).
