Tammy Fritz Trivia

  • Tammy Fritz was born in Colorado Spring, United States.
  • Tammy Fritz’s birth sign is Capricorn.
  • Who is Tammy Fritz? Tammy Fritz, who appears in season 2 of Netflix’s “Worst Roommate Ever,” married Richard Fritz Jr. in 1994 following a brief engagement. Despite family reservations about their quick marriage, the couple appeared content as long as they were pleased. They moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado, where their son Christian was born and instantly became the light of their lives.
  • Marriage Problems and Tragic Loss: Tammy and Richard’s relationship began to decline in the late 1990s, with frequent conflicts. Richard’s relatives believed Tammy was too demanding, even though Richard met all her needs. Richard unexpectedly died from acute strep throat on June 18, 2001, just as they were planning to divorce.
  • After Richard’s Death: After Richard’s sudden death, Tammy started selling his assets and using his insurance money to support herself and Christian. She invited James “Bo” Bowden, Richard’s Army friend, to live with them, believing it would be a good arrangement since he needed a place to stay.
  • James Bowden Moves In: James moved in with Tammy and Christian on December 23, 2002, and quickly bonded with them, becoming like a brother to Christian. He often socialized with Tammy and her friends, and it seemed like a fresh start for him.
  • Suspicious Incidents: In August 2004, after a night of drinking with Tammy, James felt very sick after just one drink and had to be taken to the hospital. Though he dismissed it as a one-time incident, another episode in 2005 changed his perspective. After drinking with Tammy on June 30, 2005, James passed out and woke up to a strong smoke smell from his room but managed to escape safely.
  • Growing Tensions and Separation: After the smoke incident, James distanced himself from Tammy but remained in contact. Tammy became dependent on strong drugs and started neglecting Christian, leaving him to care for himself while she spent time with Sean Lagoe and Michelle Heaston.
  • James’ Departure and Final Incident: By 2009, James had decided to return to Alaska, believing his drinking was out of control. On August 3, 2009, he went out with Tammy to say farewell, but the next morning he was found severely battered in his room. Initially, it was assumed that he fell while intoxicated, but a deeper look revealed that he was the victim of an attempted murder.
  • Tammy’s Legal Troubles: Tammy was already under investigation for financial fraud and writing bad checks. Police discovered she had taken out a life insurance policy on James, naming herself as the sole beneficiary. It became evident that Tammy was involved in a larger, more sinister scheme, and there were suspicions she might have been linked to Richard’s death as well, including the fire in James’ room.
  • Criminal Charges: Tammy Fritz was charged with the attempted murder of James Bowden after an investigation. Authorities found her guilty of conspiracy to commit murder, solicitation of attempted murder, and attempted murder.
  • Sentence and Imprisonment: Tammy received a 48-year prison sentence, which she is currently serving. She is being held at the Denver Women’s Correctional Facility and is scheduled for a parole hearing in August 2034.
  • Incident Details: In August 2009, Tammy hired her friends, Sean Lagoe and Michelle Heaston, to attack James Bowden. As a result of the assault, Bowden needed physical and speech rehabilitation.
  • Family Dynamics: Tammy’s son, Christian, remains in contact with her but is cautious about developing a closer relationship due to safety concerns for his own family. Despite their strained relationship, Christian considers Tammy part of his family, and Bowden values his connection with Christian.
  • Background and Age: Tammy Fritz is 58 years old as of 2024, having been born in 1966. She was likely a business owner, possibly running Secure Check Screening & Investigation Services, Inc., according to LinkedIn.
  • Unresolved Suspicions: Tammy’s mother-in-law, Joyce Fritz, expressed suspicions in the documentary ‘Worst Roommate Ever’ that Tammy was involved in Richard Fritz’s death, though Tammy has never been charged in relation to this case.
