Lauren Cardenas

Maria Lorena "Lauren" Cardenas was the mother of Bambi Cardenas and the wife of Hunter Cardenas.

Background
At some point prior to the start of the Murders By series, Lauren met and married a man named Hunter. They had three children namely: Margie, Bambi and Master.

Four years before Hunter passed away, Lauren's daughter Bambi became jealous of her other daughter Margie because of inheritance. Despite this, Lauren never gave any hint on the inheritance. Bambi murdered Margie by impaling her on a stake and her corpse was soon discovered by Lauren. Seeing her eldest daughter dead, Lauren suffered a bout of depression, and began gambling her money. Until the years came up to her, Lauren lost all of her money. Lauren died old and poor, leaving Bambi and Master with only a dollar each.
