The Osgood Maid (The Golden Girls)

The Osgood Maid is an unnamed and unseen villainess from "The Truth Will Out", episode 1.16 of The Golden Girls (airdate January 18, 1986). The episode's subplot has Blanche Devereaux following the trial of Duncan Osgood through the newspaper, who stood accused of murdering his wife, Tippi Paxton Osgood.
Blanche was initially adamant of Duncan's guilt, as Tippi was found dead at the bottom of their private lake with a dickey of his in her hand and she had recently changed her will to leave him as the sole heir of Tippi's family's napkin fortune. A photograph was also uncovered of Duncan dressed in a scuba suit while dragging Tippi's body down the stairs wrapped in a carpet, which appeared to serve as damning evidence against Duncan.
But later on, Blanche revealed to Dorothy Zbornak that she'd read about a shocking turn in the trial: Duncan was found innocent in his wife's murder, and all the incriminating evidence found was planted by one of his servants. Blanche also revealed that while the butler formulated the plan, he had the Osgoods' maid (who likely conspired with the butler in his murder plot) kill Tippi herself. It can be assumed that both the maid and butler were placed under arrest for killing Tippi Paxton Osgood and trying to frame Duncan Osgood.
