Why did Vera kill Felix Navidad?

Answer 1

She killed him because Vera was Felix's "sweetheart" from high school. They broke up, but Vera was optimistic when she saw Felix at his parent's funeral. He was very affectionate and said that he missed her. When Felix invited Vera to the cottage, she thought that Felix was interested in getting back together with her... then she found out about Kristal Chandleir... Vera was furious. However, she decided to "keep her cool" when she realized that she was in the will, but Kristal was not. Felix, not realizing that Vera was still in love with him, told her about Kristal a couple of days before the housewarming. He admitted that he loved Kristal and was planning on marrying her. Vera was in a jealous rage. Not only would Kristal get Felix... but she knew that once they were married, Felix would change his will, and Kristal would get the money as well!! Vera vowed never to allow that to happen. How did she do it? Vera decided to murder Felix at a time she knew everyone would be relaxing. Gene and his dog always took a nap in the afternoon, Alfredo liked to strum on his guitar, and Kendra usually spent one hour getting ready to shower, one hour in the shower, and one hour getting ready once out of the shower. It was the perfect time to plan a crime. Vera concocted the fake blood and poisoned the ice in advance. She knew that Felix liked to spend time alone on the patio in the afternoon with a can of coke, and she planned to poison him at that time, framing Gene for the murder. Gene always took a bottle of water to the beach with him for an afternoon stroll with Sasha. Vera crushed sleeping pills and put them in Gene's water while he was getting ready, then followed him to the beach. Once he was asleep, she took out Gene's cologne that she stole the night before; poured it on washcloth she found in the bathroom (Kendra's) and tricked Sasha into following her. She took Gene's shoes that he had taken off, grabbed his sunglasses, and led Sasha to the patio. However, she was not expecting Alfredo to be on the patio with Felix, and panicked when she realized she could not complete her plan if Alfredo was around. In her panic, she dropped Gene's sunglasses into a puddle of mud as she was waiting in the woods, and was too distracted to wipe them of. Luckily (for Alfredo and Vera), before drinking his cola, Alfredo left to use the restroom, leaving Felix alone. Vera watched Felix drink about half of his coca cola, when Sasha started barking. Felix stood up to investigate, and found Vera "playing" tug-a-war with Sasha with a white washcloth. He invited them onto the patio and proceeded to play with Sasha (leaving cotton fibers on the floor) while Vera stood by eating a chocolate candy bar. When Felix's back was turned, she set the chocolate bar down on a piece of paper towel (brown stain), and picked up Felix's glass to ensure he had placed ice in it. •The poison took effect almost immediately after, and Felix fell to the ground knocking over his clock on his way down. Vera then set her plan into motion to frame Gene. She placed Gene's sunglasses on the ground, planted the impression of the note, (she figured that it would look suspicious if NONE of the evidence pointed to her -- but she was sure to forage Kendra's handwriting so it would appear as if Kendra wrote the note.) dumped a bucket of paint on the patio, took off Felix's shoes and made prints through the paint before putting them back on him. Next she put one Gene's sandals and walked Sasha through the paint. When she got to Felix, she poured the fake blood around his body. She planned on replacing the contaminated ice cube tray with a different tray so Felix's murder could not be traced to the poison. But then she heard Alfredo coming back. Once again, Vera panicked. She threw her candy wrapper, Gene's cologne, and the washcloth into the garbage can and took off with Sasha. Vera realized that Felix's murder could be traced to the poisoned ice cubes, and then to her. So Vera snuck into the ambulance on the way to the morgue, and was able to open the back doors and push Felix out Into the Woods as they were moving, jumping out behind him. She buried him in a shallow grave and then returned to the beach house.
