Darby Wechsler (Without a Trace)

Darby Wechsler (Sarah Ramos) is the main villainess of "True/False," episode 7.04 of Without a Trace (airdate October 21, 2008). She is a Chapman-Hall Academy student, the daughter of Paula Wechsler, and has been the best friend of Will Duncan—who was revealed to have hacked into the school's server and copied test answers, which he gave away to several students.
After learning about Will's cheating ploy, Darby spotted him at an Internet café and followed him to an apartment building that his father Mark used to carry on an affair with his blonde mistress. She approached Will and asked him for the answers to an English Literature test, but the latter refused and said he was done with the ploy. Darby went into a panic and rage about needing to pass the test so she could get into Cornell University. She then demanded the answers from Will once more, who turned her down just like he had done moments ago. Her subsequent rage led her to accidentally shove her best friend backwards down a flight of stairs, killing him. Minutes later, Paula arrived at the building, and after seeing what Darby had done, the duo covered up the murder, doing so by wrapping Will's body in a rug and then placing it into a dumpster.
Photos of Darby trailing Will into the building revealed her as his killer, and as she and her mother were interrogated by Jack Malone and Clark Medina in the episode's climax, the former of the two villainesses tearfully confessed to everything, stating that he wouldn't help her out, along with disclosing Paula's role in the cover-up. Both mother and daughter were then arrested offscreen for their crimes.
