Michelle (Crossing Jordan)

Michelle (Emily Deschanel) is the hidden villainess of "All the News Fit to Print", episode 3.09 of Crossing Jordan (airdate April 25, 2004). She was a paramedic and a partner of fellow paramedic Dave. Prior to the episode, Michelle's father died of a heart attack, with the ambulance arriving too late due to the paramedics being preoccupied with a man who was shot while trying to rob a convenience store. Michelle later filed a lawsuit against the city, though it ultimately failed.
Afterwards, Michelle began killing criminals that she picked up with Dave, poisoning them
with potassium chloride. By the time of the episode, Michelle had five known
victims under her belt. Her latest victim was Antonio Vega, who was struck by a car as he was trying to return a woman's purse that she left at a restaurant he worked at. The evil Michelle, however, assumed Antonio was a mugger and killed
him.
After Antonio's death, Dr. Garret Macy (who had helped Michelle and Dave at the
scene) began investigating, questioning Michelle and Dave at work. Michelle
revealed that all of her victims were patients of the pompous Dr. Russell Flynn, effectively framing him for her murders. Later on, though, Flynn confessed to Garret that he hadn't seen any of the murdered patients and had only signed his name to collect more insurance money, and Winslow later pointed out that Michelle was also connected to all the victims. 
Realizing Michelle's guilt, Garret confronted her at work again, revealing how he had found potassium chloride in Michelle's kit and that he'd learned her motivation. As she was handcuffed by the arriving police, Michelle confessed to her killing spree, stating that criminals were wasting the time of paramedics trying to save good people and that they didn't deserve to be saved, before being taken into custody.

* "People....good people with lives and jobs and purpose wait for an ambulance, while they, these...these thieves and murderers waste our time. They don't deserve to live, they don't deserve to be saved. (Garret: "That gives you the right?") We do what we have to do." (Michelle's justification for her murder spree)
