Leslie Hunter (Murder, She Wrote)

Leslie Hunter (Lee Meriwether) is the main villainess from Murder, She Wrote episode 9.20, "Ship of Thieves" (airdate May 2, 1993).
Leslie Hunter is an old college friend of Jessica Fletcher, but as revealed at the episode's climax, she is a notorious money launderer known by the name Amber. Her last operation was halted when the FBI closed in on her, and a year prior to the episode's events, Leslie met cruise ship captain Rory O'Neill, and used his boat to continue her criminal activities. After reminiscing with Jessica, Leslie planned to surprise Rory, only to witness and overhear him being confronted by Janet Fisk regarding the operation. Shortly afterwards, the evil Leslie killed Janet to keep her quiet.
Leslie's villainous reveal came while Jessica confronted Rory regarding the operation and Janet's murder, when she appeared and confirmed Jessica's statements about her. Leslie confessed everything, while pointing a gun at Jessica, and stated that she had used Rory while also falling for him. She later demanded that Rory leave her to kill Jessica, only for Dennis Stanton to appear and arrest the villainess.
