Jeri Newman (CSI)

Jeri Newman (Mary-Margaret Humes) is the hidden main villainess from "Let the Seller Beware," episode 3.03 of CSI (airdate October 10, 2002). She is the ex-wife of Cal Newman, who was found murdered along with his second wife, Monica Newman.
Jeri first appeared with Max Newman, her son with Cal, at the home where the murders took place, and later expressed sorrow as she identified Cal's body. Surprisingly, Max was suspected of the murder when Jim Brass uncovered photos of a naked Monica, revealed to be taken by Max, while it was revealed that Max's sperm sample was found in Monica's body. Though Jeri expressed anger at Max by slapping him, she states that he couldn't have committed the murder of his father because he couldn't swim. It was ultimately revealed that Peter Berglund killed Cal and Monica, as a rash caused by a mildew in the Newmans' pool was on his right foot, revealing that he was hiding out in the pool during his plan to kill Cal.
However, it was later revealed that the true mastermind of the murders was none other than Jeri, who had known Peter back when they both lived in San Diego. A few weeks prior to the events, the evil Jeri concocted a financial arrangement that involved enlisting Peter to kill her ex-husband and his new wife, and as a result of the deaths, Peter would get Jeri's home, while the villainess would inherit her ex-husband's money. During her interrogation with Catherine Willows, Jeri denied knowing Peter, until their connection was revealed during an online search by Catherine. Even so, Jeri claimed that she didn't have Cal killed, only for Catherine to reveal Peter's loan application, which showed both of their signatures. Jeri co-signed because Peter didn't qualify for a loan on his own, and it was payment for him to commit the murders. Afterwards, Jeri was arrested (off-screen) for masterminding Cal and Monica's murders.
