Erin (A Daughter's Conviction)

Erin (Keegan Connor Tracy) is the hidden main villainess from the 2006 Lifetime film, A Daughter's Conviction (alternately titled, The Perfect Suspect). She is a reporter and the best friend of main protagonist Jo Hansen, and she was shown assisting Jo regarding the murder of Jo's stepfather, author Jack McBride; a murder that Jo's mother, Maureen, was charged with.
It was revealed that Erin had killed Jack, with the reveal coming after she made the claim to Jo and Maureen that Jack was possibly her birth father. She stated that Jack had an affair with her mother, and he had hired Erin out of the guilt that she could possibly be his daughter. Maureen revealed one problem with Erin's claim: Jack couldn't father children, and she also revealed that Erin's mother had blackmailed Jack. Erin had confronted Jack about his latest book, and the fact that her mother wasn't mentioned in it. This caused Erin to fly into a rage, and at that moment, she took Jack's gun out of a drawer and shot him to death.
After the murder, Erin saw Maureen passed out and placed the gun in her hands, which resulted in Maureen's arrest. Though as Jo stated, Erin actually planned to frame her estranged husband, Sam, for the murder. After the reveal, Erin confessed to the murder, claiming that it was an accident and she framed her husband to keep him away from their daughter, Sarabeth. When she saw Maureen phoning the police, Erin pointed a gun at Maureen, breaking down and stating that she couldn't go to jail and let Sam take custody of Sarabeth. When Detective Gibson (the lead detective on the case) burst into the room, having learned about Erin's guilt in Jack's murder, Erin turned to fire the gun before being shot herself. Erin was last shown being taken away on a stretcher. Although her fate isn't revealed, as Maureen and Jo were speaking with Detective Gibson, they stated that they "feel bad for Erin", likely indicating that Erin would be convicted and sent to prison for her crimes.
