Her first assignment as a nun is to, ironically, the place she was born, Westin Hills. She is put in 'The Tower', which was the insider nickname for the place where the absolute worst of the criminally insane were locked up like animals.

December 1941: During the holiday season, just a few days shy of Christmas, Amanda Krueger was accidentally locked in 'The Tower' when the guards were in a hurry to go home to their families. The inmates kept her hidden for several days, brutally raping and beating her. When she was finally found, she was barely alive, and pregnant.

Due to this technicality, Freddy is released. The parents swore revenge. That night, a mob of angry parents including Lt. Thompson and his wife Marge, Richard Lane and his wife, Walter Lantz, and Doug Parker, among others, collar Freddy in his boiler room and burn him to death. Also dying around this time was Amanda Krueger. After hearing about what happened in the trial, she lost her mind and hung herself allegedly, but no body was ever found.
