Sandra Babcock (Crossing Jordan)

Sandra Babcock (Yvette Napir) is the main villainess of "The Dawn of a New Day", episode 1.02 of Crossing Jordan (airdate October 1, 2001). She was an operator for a domestic violence hotline and the wife of lawyer Nolan Babcock. When Nolan was found bludgeoned to death in the trunk of a cab belonging to Louis Stahler (who was also found shot to death), Sandra appeared heartbroken as she was brought in to identify her husband.
But in actuality, Sandra had orchestrated Nolan's murder in order to gain access to his life insurance policy, which was revealed to be worth 2.2 million dollars. To do so, Sandra contacted Louis's wife Elaine, who often called her hotline regarding Louis, and the two made a pact: Elaine would kill Nolan and Sandra would kill Louis. To persuade Elaine into agreeing to the plan, the evil Sandra claimed that Nolan was molesting their children (when in actuality, the Babcocks had no children).
Medical examiner Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh uncovered Elaine and Sandra's plot, with her boss Dr. Garret Macy discovering that Elaine's DNA from his handkerchief--which she had used earlier--matched that of the wads of gum they found in both Louis's cab and on a nearby payphone. Sandra was definitively outed as a scheming murderer when Jordan called her hotline and asked to speak with the operator on duty at the time that Elaine called on the night of the murders, with Sandra answering the call and asking if it was Elaine sealing her fate. After Jordan convinced Elaine to confess to the murder plot, Sandra was presumably arrested offscreen.
