Meeting Paul Hanover was a monetary blessing for her, as she was able to both love and fool him. Being very street smart, Missy even found a woman she could
manipulate, even down to her teeth "matching" Missy’s.

Killing both Paul and her "kill-in" was easy for Missy with her background of terror. 
Burning the house and the murder victims let her escape the investigative detective first inclination that the "woman" was anybody but Missy!

Something kept sticking in Abe Glitsky’s craw. Where was Missy’s car? All during Catherine Hanover’s trial Abe kept thinking she could not be the murderer.

Abe’s abilities to keep looking in spite of his newborn’s son heart condition, had to mean the the truth would come out.

Checking all the records finally leads Abe to Missy where she actually sneaks up from behind and takes him at gunpoint to her apartment. Abe is afraid that Missy is going to kill him and he calls on his inner strength to get up and walk out as Missy is pointing a gun at him.

Then the shot rings out and Missy will not return to beautiful Algiers!
