DA Janis Lake Revealed as Victor Ochoa's Killer

The mystery surrounding Victor Ochoa's murder was resolved on Tuesday's episode, identifying District Attorney Janis Lake as the killer. Lake, recently introduced as a close friend of the Ochoa family, was portrayed by Elaine Hendrix. Hendrix, an actress previously known for roles in "The Parent Trap" and "Dynasty," acknowledged the expectation of her character being the villain.

Hendrix shared her thoughts on playing a villainous role, noting that while past roles might have led audiences to expect her villainous turn, her participation in "Dancing with the Stars" might have introduced her to viewers in a way that could have created some doubt. Despite this, she confirmed that she was indeed responsible for Victor's death and expressed satisfaction with the storyline's unfolding. The actress also touched upon the experience of filming the murder scene with co-star David Zayas under challenging hot weather conditions in Florida.
