He also had a previous record for child molestation, a crime for which he had received a five-year sentence in 1989. On September 20, 2001, he met with detective Martinez, saying he could arrange a meeting and have Pender admit to him her responsibility for the murders. He had been involved in a correspondence with Pender which totaled at the time 75 letters. This had evolved into a long-distance relationship. After his meeting with Martinez, he wrote to Pender to arrange the date on which she would fake being sick so as to be sent to Wishard Hospital. On September 22, he faked having a kidney problem and both met as planned at the hospital. On September 28, 2001, Pennington gave a statement according to which he had been able to talk with Pender for three to four hours. He said that they were left alone for half an hour during which Pender admitted to planning the murder, coercing Hull to kill both Cataldi and Nordman, and being present in the house at the time of the murders.

The girl graduated in 1997 from Lawrence Central High School in 1997. She was Secretary in the office of Carl E. Most and Sons.

She was able to escape of Rockville Correctional Facility with the assistance of a guard in 2008, but was arrested four months later.

Citing the fact that Pender had bought the murder weapon on the morning of the murders and that she later helped Hull in disposing of the bodies, Sells told the jury that she had planned the murders and had manipulated Hull into committing them. According to Indianapolis Star journalist Vic Ryckaert, Sells “likened her influence over Hull to the control Manson had over his followers, who committed a string of murders in 1969”. The “female Charles Manson” tag has stuck to Pender ever since.

The only hard piece of evidence presented at Pender’s trial as proof of her guilt was the letter that she allegedly wrote on May 16, 2001, and sent to Hull. Hull gave this letter to his attorney, who passed it on to Indianapolis detective Kenneth Martinez between September and October 2001. Pender, her lawyers, and her supporters have always said that Hull had manufactured the evidence to shift the responsibility of the murder on her. Several elements support this claim.

Another piece of evidence presented to the jury was the testimony of fellow inmate Floyd Pennington, who had a pen relationship with Sarah Pender for several months. He testified that Pender had admitted her responsibility in the double homicide to him during a meeting they had arranged on September 22, 2001, at Wishard Hospital.

According to neighbor Jana Frederick, tensions had been growing for three weeks between the couples, as Hull and Cataldi had frequent arguments. At some point prior to the murders, Hull, who could not legally purchase firearms due to his criminal record, sought to purchase a weapon from the son of Frederick’s boyfriend. He was unsuccessful in this attempt, but was later able to convince Pender to purchase a weapon for him. On the morning of October 24, 2000, Hull drove Pender to a local Walmart to purchase a 12-gauge shotgun, a soda, and condoms. The clerk who handled the sale of the weapon later reported seeing Hull select the ammunition and bring it to the counter, where Pender then paid for it. The couple then went for an outing with Pender’s parents and returned home around 11 p.m. Shortly after returning, Pender left the building to take a walk.

In 2002, during her trial, Marion County Deputy Prosecutor Larry Sells likened Pender to a “Female Charles Manson” to describe her alleged influence over Hull. This comparison was relayed by the media on several occasions and it has regularly resurfaced since in the online media. Supporters of Pender claim that this comparison is inappropriate because Pender did not plan, commit, or pressure Hull into murdering Nordman and Cataldi. They claim that even if Pender had been involved in planning the murders, the comparison would be grossly exaggerated; Charles Manson was a guru with a juvenile offender record and a psychiatric history who led several members of his sect to commit several murders on several occasions over a period of several months.

To prove Pender’s guilt, Sells relied chiefly on a letter allegedly sent to Hull by Pender in May 2001 and on the testimony of inmate Floyd Pennington. In the letter Pender took responsibility for the murder. “I wish I could go back and change the events of that night”, said the letter. “Drew was so mean that night. I just snapped. I didn’t mean to kill them. It must have been the acid.[…] When you said you would try to take the blame, I knew then that you loved me deeply. At first I thought you would tell, but you stuck to your promise.” The letter ended with a postscript: “Destroy this.” Forensic Document Examiner Lee Ann Harmless testified the letter had been written by Pender. Defense attorney James Nave contended the letter was a fake. He said that Sarah Pender was no “clever criminal mastermind” and that the murder “was not a cleverly planned criminal act. It was an act of the moment.” He argued that Richard Hull had shot Cataldi and Nordman because they were about to cut him out of a big drug deal.
