Years ago, Melissa's younger brother Leo was working for Joseph Sorel. Roy had befriended Leo and he and Melissa had been romantically involved...but Roy eventually betrayed them by turning Leo over to the FBI. Leo was imprisoned, where he was later killed. Melissa wasn't able to forgive Roy at the time, and their relationship ended.
When Melissa realized she still loved Roy, she came back to Port Charles to let him know she forgave him, and the two began dating. When Melissa found out that Sorel had been responsible for her brother's death, she was furious. When Sorel turned up dead in his hospital bed, Melissa was an obvious suspect because of her hatred for him. However, Sorel had several other enemies, and as of yet, the killer has not been revealed. |
