NOTES:
From an early age, Sara knew that she wanted to be a doctor. Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, she always hoped to work in a hospital. However, after achieving her goal and earning a medical degree, Sara’s career was jeopardized by her drug abuse problem.

After countless relapses, Sara was finally able to get clean with the help of group therapy sessions at Narcotics Anonymous. Being a traditional doctor was no longer enough for her and she decided that she must follow a more humanitarian path.

As one of the few doctors on staff, Sara is responsible for everything from administering physicals to performing emergency surgery. Though Sara doesn’t think twice about the risks she puts herself in every day, it is a constant source of stress for her father, Illinois Governor “Frontier Justice” Frank Tancredi. That, along with their vastly different political beliefs, has cooled their relationship significantly in recent years.

But despite her history of drugs, no one would have predicted however, that Sara would have ever engaged in criminal activity. Immediately following the Fox River eight’s escapes, authorities discovered that the infirmary door was left unlocked, thereby allowing the inmates to access an easy escape route from the prison. After questioning several Fox River employees in the medical wing, Sara became a prime suspect in aiding and abetting the escape; it appeared it was she –who left the door open.

When Chicago PD arrived at her apartment to question her, they found her in a coma, having overdosed from morphine. However, Sara recuperated fairly quickly and was taken into custody for questioning. Govenor Tancredi posted her bail, but was later found dead in his residence from apparent suicide. Sara has been at large since leaving the state.
