Stefan Cassadine, son of Mikkos and brother of Stavros had kidnapped Laura years ago, was keeping Lesley drugged in a catatonic state.

When Rick encountered Laura in the Webber attic, she freaked out and presumably hit him over the head which caused his death.

Lesley not only had to deal with the loss of the love of her life but the prospect of losing her daughter whom she had struggled hard years before to find and reconnect with.

In October 2006, Luke gave Robin Scorpio, now a doctor, his permission to give Laura an experimental drug called LS-49 that would temporarily bring her out of her catatonic state.

Before her goodbye with Lulu, Laura told her daughter that she didn't believe that she had actually killed Rick Webber, but not to tell Luke this because it would break his heart.

(Luke telling Laura that she killed her stepfather is what actually pushed her to really have her breakdown and into her catatonic state) Lulu vowed to pursue the matter and find Rick's real killer.

When Lulu confronts a recently returned to town during the hostage crisis Scott about the letter, he eventually confirms it.

He went to the Scorpio house that night to check on Laura and upon hearing her scream found her in the attic fighting with Rick.

He left just before Luke arrived on the scene and came to the only possible conclusion that he could think of: in an altercation, with Laura's current state of mind, she thought Rick was trying to hurt her so she hit him with the now bloody candlestick and accidentally killed him.

Lulu decided that she could never tell her father what she has learned because it would destroy him; he would either a) kill Scott Baldwin for his part and be sent to jail for murder and she would never see him again or b) he would want to kill Scott and he would feel so guilty and heartbroken that he was the one who caused Laura's catatonia telling her something so traumatic when it didn't even happen.
