Marjory Bartlett (New Tricks)

Marjory Bartlett was an unseen hidden villainess mentioned in "Buried Treasure," the antepenultimate episode of New Tricks' fourth season (airdate 14 May 2007). She was the wife of Andrew Bartlett, and the couple lived next door to property developer Neil Williams.
Neil Williams was murdered on May 10, 1993, and four years later, his business partner, Michael Evans, was convicted of his murder. Andrew was interviewed by Jack Halford in the episode, with the progression suggesting that Marjory and Neil were engaged in an extramarital affair. After Neil's body was finally found, Andrew appeared to Jack again, this time confessing to killing Neil after catching him with Marjory in a cabin, stating that he used a knife to stab Neil in the back and neck. However, Jack revealed that a pathologist's report on the marks showed that Neil was killed by someone shorter than him, which ended up revealing the truth: Marjory killed Neil.
Another truth was revealed: Neil's affair was with Andrew, not Marjory, all those years ago. After catching the pair inside the cabin, Marjory turned heel and stabbed Neil to death in a fit of rage, with the couple burying Neil's body after the murder. Afterwards, the evil Marjory claimed that Neil simply disappeared during the couple's interview, with Andrew continuing to cover for his villainous wife to spare her and to cover up his affair due to his work with children and fearing scrutiny. As a result, Evans ended up arrested and convicted, though he was released following Marjory's posthumous villainous reveal. Marjory passed away of a brain hemorrhage three years prior to the events, taking her role as a murderous villainess to the grave.
