Heidi Dillon (CSI: Miami)

Heidi Dillon (Taryn Manning) is a hidden villainess from "Money Plane," episode 3.17 of CSI: Miami (airdate March 7, 2005). She is the assistant to Sophie Townsend, who is the mother of murdered socialite Caitlyn Townsend.
Heidi's slight backstory revealed that she had a criminal history; having been arrested for drug possession, fraud, and theft. She befriended Caitlyn while they were both in rehab, and she became one of many runaway girls Caitlyn helped in her charity. However, as revealed later on, Heidi was a villainous conspirator in the embezzlement of the charity, with Sophie as the evil mastermind. Under Sophie's orders, the evil Heidi forged Caitlyn's signature on checks that were intended for Caitlyn's charity, only for the checks to be cashed and deposited into the Pummelo Corporation, Sophie's account in Charleston, South Carolina.
A signing machine was used to sign Caitlyn's name on the checks, and Heidi's fingerprints on the machine revealed her role in the embezzlement. In her first interrogation, Heidi denied stealing from Caitlyn, stating that she only set up the machine. Heidi was named as a suspect in Caitlyn's murder, under the belief that she killed Caitlyn after she found out about Heidi stealing from her. However, it was revealed that Nick Marshall killed Caitlyn, as she was firing him for starting a relationship with Heidi and getting her pregnant. Despite being cleared in Caitlyn's murder, it was assumed that Heidi was arrested for her role in embezzling from Caitlyn's charity.
