Shannon Turner (CSI)

Shannon Turner (Ally Sheedy) is a villainess from "Leapin' Lizards," the antepenultimate episode of CSI's seventh season (airdate May 3, 2007). She was part of a group of people who believed in the existence of reptilian-like aliens; a group which was led by con man Preston DeVere.
Preston enlisted Shannon and Hank Connors in a plan to kill his wife, Chyna, a blackjack dealer. The revealed motive was an inheritance that Chyna received, and part of the plan had Shannon believing that Chyna was one of the reptilian aliens. Shortly before the episode's events, the evil Shannon confronted Chyna while dressed in a warrior outfit and carrying a sword, leading to a violent confrontation that ended with Shannon killing Chyna. After the murder, Preston instructed Hank to decapitate the body, stating that decapitation is the purest way to kill an alien.
After Hank committed suicide, Shannon was taken in by CSI, and while there, she attacked and bit the hand of Greg Sanders--who was attempting to take her DNA sample. Her role was revealed when video of Shannon playing blackjack solely at Chyna's table was shown, as she had been gaining her trust as part of the plan. Shannon was later interrogated by Brass, who admitted to the murder--claiming that she was saving the human race. After her confession, Shannon was arrested for Chyna's murder; a charge that was added along with her assault towards Sanders.
