Tina Kolas (CSI)

Tina Kolas (Nicole DeHuff; 1975-2005) is the main villainess from "Alter Boys," episode 2.06 of CSI (airdate November 1, 2001). She is the roommate and friend of Shelley Danvers, who was found dead in a sauna at the Mediterranean Hotel.
Catherine Willows and Warrick Brown were on the case, which originally determined heatstroke as the possible cause of Shelley's death. Regarding Tina, she stated that both she and Shelley went to Vegas from their home state of Indiana, and regarding Shelley being in a sauna, she stated that they had been drinking and Shelley thought a sauna would dry her out. After Warrick finds a ripped shirt, Tina admits that they fought over the shirt, but ended up laughing about it after it was torn.
Heatstroke was further suspected after it was revealed that the sauna's temperature was 182 degrees, along with hotel employee Kim Morita confessing to not checking on the sauna and redressing Shelley after finding her dead. However, Shelley's actually cause of death was revealed to be anaphylactic shock caused by an allergy to shellfish, and it was revealed that two bowls of shellfish were ordered that day by Tina. Her knowledge of Shelley's allergy revealed Tina as her roommate's killer, and as also revealed, their aforementioned fight wasn't over a shirt, it was over a man. Both women met a man named Jeremy at a bar, with Shelley making a date with him afterwards. In a rage, the evil Tina ordered the shellfish knowing about Shelley's allergy, doing so to make her sick, though the sauna activated the allergy and Shelley died as a result.
During her confrontation, Tina confessed everything, stating that killing Shelley was not her intention, but adding that she figured Shelley would get hives and miss her date with Jeremy. The villainess also stated that she wasn't even interested in Jeremy; she committed her twisted actions because she didn't want to be left out, after which Brass arrested her for her role in Shelley's death.
