He was a tribal police officer working in Arizona, and, after their latest breakup, Kerri had moved to Orem, Utah to live with her sister. She found a job as an activities director at an upscale retirement center owned by Mina Pajela. Mina was so impressed with Kerri that she promoted her to administrator. With her own daughter living in California, Mina came to view Kerri as a surrogate daughter, and Keri frequently stayed at Mina's home. When Kerri discovered she was pregnant, Mina was supportive. Then, on April 25, 2001, Mina was found shot to death in her car. Witnesses reported seeing a woman trying to set the car on fire. Police began investigating, and while at first they didn't come up with any suspects, they did discover that someone had embezzled close to $40,000 from the retirement center. Further investigation revealed the identity of the embezzler - Kerri Faye Brown. Kerri, in the meantime, had moved back to Arizona with her boyfriend and their baby. In November, 2001 Kerri was charged with multiple financial crimes. When forensic tests proved that the murder weapon belonged to Kerri's boyfriend, she was also charged with Mina's murder. But, in 2002, the charges were dropped; prosecutors felt they needed more time to built their case. Two years later, they refiled charges against Kerri. In August, 2005, before she was scheduled to go to trial, Kerri pleaded no contest to manslaughter and theft by deception. She told the judge that she took the plea, not because she was guilty, but because she was tired of fighting. She was sent to serve up to 30 years for manslaughter and theft.
