Selena Rigas (Castle)

Selena Rigas (Raquel Alessi) is a hidden villainess from Castle's 100th episode, "The Lives of Others" (airdate April 1, 2013). She is a security guard who witnessed the brutal murder of a woman in an alley.
The victim was identified as Clara DeWinter, and Selena informed Kate Beckett that she witnessed the murder on her security camera. A man named Dan Renner was accused of the murder, but Clara's husband, Gavin, ended up being Beckett's main suspect after it was revealed that he put out a million dollar insurance policy on Clara. Gavin was revealed to be the true killer, but as it turned out, Selena was uncovered as a co-conspirator.
A year prior to the events, Selena worked security at Gavin's supermarket, and it was during that time that she met Gavin and began an affair with him. Gavin decided to kill Clara instead of divorcing her, and he committed the actual murder in his garage, doing so by bashing her with a baseball bat. After Clara's murder, Selena colluded with Gavin to stage her murder to create an alibi and set up Renner, and as part of the ruse, the evil Selena dressed up as Clara and used her access to the building's cameras to allow herself to be filmed being "killed" by Gavin, who dumped Clara's body in the dumpster.
Beckett came to the conclusion that the video was staged during Richard Castle's birthday party, which included Beckett staging a murder scene to get Castle to head to his party. It was after this that Selena was interrogated by Beckett, who revealed the one thing that gave the entire video away: a spot of graffiti that appeared after the "murder." She also added that Selena was the one in the video as Clara, with the villainess denying the claim and responding to the revelation of her connection to Gavin by referring to it as a coincidence.. However, Beckett revealed that she knew that Selena rented a Mercedes CLS 550, the same car that was at the scene, and afterwards, Selena stated that she didn't kill Clara. Beckett replied that she knew she didn't kill Clara, but wanted to know who did. Afterwards, Gavin was shown in handcuffs, revealing that Selena revealed him as his wife's killer. Selena was also arrested (off-screen) for conspiracy in Clara's murder.
