Gina Petrocelli (The Mentalist)

Gina Petrocelli (Angelique Cabral) is a villainess from "Silver Wings of Time," episode 6.17 of The Mentalist (airdate April 13, 2014). She is a small time criminal who appeared in the beginning of the episode pushing a baby carriage near a bus stop.
However, as revealed later on, Gina's appearance was part of a scheme to help steal a briefcase belonging to David Renaldo, as she was enlisted by Pete Koch (a PI working for the episode's main villainess) to provide a distraction so he could commit the theft. It was at the bus stop that Renaldo was killed when a bomb went off inside a briefcase, with Koch planting the bomb as part of the murder plot. 
After CBI learned Gina's identity, Kim Fischer and other agents arrived at the door of Gina's apartment looking to interrogate her. All the while, the evil Gina packed her belongings and attempted to escape through the window, only to be caught by Teresa Lisbon. Gina denied any knowledge of the bombing, but admitted to her alliance with Koch, revealing that he hires her to steal things for him during his cases. She also confessed to her role in the theft of Renaldo's briefcase, while also stating that Koch didn't give any other details about the job other than it was high paying. Gina later heard Fischer state that Koch was shot to death, and later on, her statements regarding her ignorance of the bombing were revealed to be true. However, it was inferred that Gina would be arrested and charged as a conspirator, among other crimes.
