Sandra Boatwright (The Mentalist)

Sandra Boatwright (Judith Hoag) was a villainess from "Red Hair and Silver Tape," the 2nd-ever episode of The Mentalist (airdate September 30, 2008). She was the co-owner of the Shand Creek Winery alongside her husband, Malcolm Boatwright.
Other than running their restaurant, Sandra and Malcolm are both serial kidnappers who abducted various young women. They committed one of the kidnappings in Fairfield, abducting and tying up a woman named Dolores Sanchez. In the episode's events, the twisted duo kidnapped Melanie O'Keefe, a waitress who worked at their restaurant. With the police on the search for Melanie, Sandra hid with her victim in the back of their van, and she attempted to silence Melanie by smothering her, only to end up killing her with a knife. It was never fully revealed what the couple's intentions were with their victims, although Patrick Jane's comments (regarding his suspicion of Malcolm in which he referred to Malcolm as a glutton and self-indulgent) can be interpreted as hinting that the couple's intentions may have been sexual.
Sandra's reveal came when she and Malcolm were caught by Jane bringing in another victim into the hotel room. The villainous couple prepared themselves by placing plastic sheeting over the bed, but it was at that moment that they saw Jane watching them. After this, the evil Sandra unleashed her gun while Malcolm wielded a knife, but they later began bickering between themselves after Jane attempted to talk them down. Teresa Lisbon later entered the room and caught the couple threatening Jane, and with Malcolm refusing to drop his weapon, she shot him twice, killing him. As for Sandra, Lisbon shot and killed the villainess when she refused to drop her gun.
