Biography[]
History[]
Nothing is known about Henry prior to him becoming a wealthy fashion business owner. Through his fashion business he came to know Julia Randall a fashion model from New York who charmed many men with her beauty. Henry Arnett was no exception. He quickly became enamored with her and would do whatever she asked which in this case revolved around burglarizing wealthy high society members to support Julia's constant need for money. Julia and her doctor Dr. Harold Stoneman under the alias "Henderson" would invite high society members to parties while Henry, Willy Reade, and Jimmy Leblanc robbed their mansions of any valuable items they owned.
During this time, Julia introduced Henry to her friend Heather Swanson and the two of them quickly fell in love for each other. By the time he wanted to marry Heather his fashion business was completely bankrupt for supporting Julia's burglary ring and he wanted out. Julia just laughed in his face and refused to let him go. Feeling he had no choice, he paid his burglary partners Willy Reade and Jimmy Leblanc to kill Julia Randall and make it look like a suicide to finally leave her gang and marry Heather.
Unfortunately for Arnett the coroner saw through the fake suicide and correctly deduced that Julia was murdered and not killed by her own hand. Homicide Detectives Rusty Galloway and Stefan Bekowsky and Ad Vice Detectives Cole Phelps and Roy Earle jointly worked together to solve this case. After Phelps and Earle visited Heather Swanson at work and told her about Julia's death they asked her to ask her fiancé Henry to visit Hollywood Police Station to answer some questions about Julia's death. He did visit Hollywood Police Station and was interrogated by Phelps and Earle however he managed to evade their questions but pretending to be uninvolved in Julia's death and coughed up a fake story about being a marine. Phelps and Earle let him go so they could track him.
They followed him to a pawn shop where he pawed a Fabergé cigarette case worth $10,000 for just $600. He used the $600 to pay for a one-way bus ticket to Mexico City to flee from the cops. Sadly for Arnett the next available seat was for the next day which Arnett was forced to accept. He took the bus ticket and left. He went back to his apartment to pack his things but was attacked by Willy Reade. Luckily for him before he could be killed Cole Phelps and Roy Earle arrived at his apartment with Heather and interrupted Reade's attack. Cole Phelps chased after Willy but Willy got the jump on Phelps and knocked him out. After both Phelps and Arnett recovered Phelps once again interrogated Arnett and in which he revealed that he ordered Julia's death and paid Willy Reade and Jimmy Leblanc to kill her so he could marry Heather. The detectives then arrested him for burglary and ordering Julia's murder. While it isn't stated it is assumed his engagement to Heather Swanson is over.
