Maria LaGuerta

Maria LaGuerta is a recurring antagonist on Dexter tv series. She is the police Lieutenant and Captain of Miami Metro Police Department. Mostly she is obsessed about the Bay Harbor Butcher. She knew Sergeant James Doakes was on the trail the Bay Harbor Butcher and the Bay Harbor Butcher is Dexter Morgan. What they don't know is, Dexter is the good guy and he only takes out serial killers and criminals. James figured out Dexter is the Bay Harbor Butcher. He would do the world of favor to arrest him or kill him. But Lila West already killed him. But Dexter doesn't like Lila West killed an innocent person, he took her out and also to protect her. Dexter pin the Bay Harbor Butcher to Doakes. Maria for a long time, knew Doakes wasn't the bay harbor butcher and figure out it was Dexter. She even arrested him and has enough evidence to put him away. She doesn't see the big picture, that all of Dexter's victims were all criminals. She is the main reason why like any other female cop hides behind the law and the badge. That is talk for, they don't care about protecting protecting just law and order they only care about. That is what makes cops like her alone and end up dead, demoted or fired. Luckily for me, Dexter already made the switcheroo and pin the frame up to LaGuerta. Her career is over. She has only one more chance to get Dexter is by getting some close to her, is his foster sister Debra. Debra is sticking up for him. Maria followed Dexter on one of his killing sessions, but Dexter stopped her. But he didn't kill her, because of Harry Morgan rule. Debra went up their and stopped Dexter for doing something he regrets. Maria ordered Debra to kill Dexter and told her she was a good cop and a good person. Dexter gave in and told her do what you have to do. Dexter wants her to kill him, so she can keep her job and make Maria happy. Put an end of Bay Harbor Butcher. Debra chose Dexter and shot Maria. After a few episodes she quit the force and fell off the wagon. Dexter pulled her out and figure out why she chose Dexter or Maria. In her mind, she shot Dexter. I found out why, not because Dexter is family. If she shot Dexter, Maria would be bullying her whole life and the city of Miami needs the Bay Harbor Butcher to take down all the other serial killers and criminals that Miami P.D. can't touch.
