Maureen "Miki" McDermott Hunger for Cash

In season 8, episode 6, the murder of Steven Eldridge by
Maureen "Miki" McDermott is shown. The show is titled Hunger for Cash and Discovery ID's Deadly Women describes as Nurse Maureen McDermott hires a coworker to murder her roommate; Marie Porter goes to the electric chair for murdering her brother to collect on a life insurance policy; bookkeeper Debra Lynn Baker poisons her boss after embezzling money..

Maureen "Miki" McDermott was convicted of 1st Degree Murder and sentenced to Death .

Her victim was Stephen Eldridge.  

She killed her roommate to collect the insurance on their shared mortgage which would mean she owned the property without debt.

You can not write to Maureen "Miki" McDermott as her location is unknown. While California is better then Louisiana at providing inmate information, if they die or are moved to another state, no record remains. We can not find her anywhere in their system.

Her appeal includes (see link):
On April 28, 1985, Stephen Eldridge was brutally stabbed to death in the home he shared with defendant, Maureen McDermott.   It was undisputed at trial that the actual killers were Jimmy Luna (a former coworker and personal friend of defendant's) and two brothers whom Luna had hired for the murder, Marvin and Dondell Lee. The prosecution's theory at defendant's trial was that defendant had hired Luna to kill Eldridge so she could obtain sole ownership of a house she co-owned with Eldridge and collect $100,000 under an insurance policy she had on Eldridge's life.   Luna (who had pled guilty to first degree murder) and both Marvin and Dondell Lee (who had received complete immunity and were never charged with the murder) testified against defendant.   Defendant denied complicity in Eldridge's murder.



At the end of the day, if you do not learn you can't get something for nothing from this, you never will.
