Best Answer

The mastermind behind the Fernandez-Beck murders would be Ray Fernandez. Although Beck did share in some of the crimes, she was a follower not a leader. Beck was so smitten with Fernandez that she would have done just about anything for him. In the movie ( Lonely Hearts) Beck seem to be the driving force but in real life that didn't seem to be the case.
