Vicki Salinas (Monk)

Vicki Salinas (Nicole DeHuff; 1975-2005) is a villainess from Monk, appearing in Season Two's "Mr. Monk and the Paperboy" (airdate January 16, 2004). She was one of the co-workers of a convenience store, where Adrian Monk's neighbor, Kevin Dorfman, buys a lottery ticket.
After Vicki and her co-worker, Boz Harrelson, learn that Kevin won the jackpot, they work together to steal his winnings. Because Kevin and Monk live in the same building, Boz stole the newspaper delivered to the door to keep Kevin from reading the lottery numbers. This resulted in him kill one of Monk's paperboys Nestor Alvarez . Vicki later cozied up to Kevin and becomes his girlfriend, after barely noticing him when he bought his ticket. Vicki kept Kevin's phone disconnected, unplugged his radio, and took the batteries out of his TV remote to make sure he did not see the winning numbers, distracting him with constant sex. 
The plan originally involved killing Kevin so Vicki and Boz would split the lottery winnings, but while the pair discussed their scheme while depositing the store's earnings for the day, Vicki turned heel against Boz and killed him, doing so by smashing a bottle on his head and stabbing him with it after trying to use a knife, clearly wanting sole possession of the jackpot.
After Monk finally sees the winning numbers, he figures out that Vicki and Boz were conspirators in his paperboy's death, with Vicki revealed as the true mastermind. Her new plan was to marry Kevin and then kill him to inherit the winnings, and in the episode's climax, the evil Vicki drove Kevin onto the train tracks, with a train about to arrive. Monk and Sharona arrive in time to save Kevin and take down Vicki, who was later arrested (off-screen).
