Sandra Chandler (CSI: NY)

Sandra Chandler (Amy Gumenick) is a villainess from "Blood Actually", the penultimate episode of the ninth and final season of CSI: NY (airdate February 15, 2013). She was the wife of Bernard "Bernie" Chandler, with her introduction having her being questioned by Danny Messer when she came home to find her husband dead. Sandra stated that she believed Bernie had come home early to plan a Valentine's Day surprise for her, tearfully bemoaning that Bernie would die on that day--which was also their fifth anniversary.
However, the CSI team's investigation would reveal Sandra's grief was a mask for her true nature as a scorned murderess. Sometime prior to the episode's events, Sandra began suspecting Bernie was cheating on her due to his suspicious behavior, leading her to break into his phone to read his text messages. After finding several texts between Bernie and a woman named Evelyn Long, Sandra's fears were confirmed in her mind and she began plotting to kill her husband.
Knowing her husband was diabetic and had a sweet tooth, the evil Sandra replaced Bernie's insulin with simple syrup and left him a box of chocolates that were labelled sugar free; chocolates Sandra had swapped out for ones containing sugar. Sandra's devious plan succeeding in killing her husband, with the villainess cleaning up the scene and removing the deceptive label and throwing them down the garbage chute. The CSI team uncovered the discarded evidence, however, with the label definitively proving Sandra's role in her husband's death. Sandra was brought in for interrogation with Danny, who revealed that the evidence she threw away was found and would be tested while chastising Sandra for her sloppy means of covering her tracks.
After attempting to deny everything and claim she would never kill her husband, Sandra confessed, detailing how she came to suspect Bernie of being unfaithful and her belief that other women lusted after her husband and were jealous of her, as well as her belief that Evelyn was younger and prettier than her and how she hated herself for (inn her mind) not being good enough for Bernie. Sandra also revealed that she killed Bernie when he said they needed to have a "serious talk" that day, fearing he was preparing to leave her and how the thought of him having a life with another woman would've killed her. Danny then revealed to Sandra the truth about Evelyn: she was never having an affair with Bernie, and was actualy a travel agent helping Bernie plan his and Sandra's dream vacation to Europe. Danny then left a stunned Sandra alone in the interrogation room, with Sandra being arrested (off-screen) for killing Bernie.
