Liz Dougherty (Murder, She Wrote)

Liz Dougherty (Gretchen German) is the main villainess in Murder, She Wrote's fourth episode of season eleven "Death In Hawaii". Liz is employed as a campaign manager for politician Jeff Kincaid, and also her lover.
However, Jeff never knew about Liz's involvement in a scam operated by Brett Reynolds in his bank. The incriminating records were kept in the Kilauea file (named after the Hawaiian volcano). Jeff's brother Danny Kincaid was after the Kilauea file to take down Reynolds, even hiring a mole to send the entire file to Danny's computer. 
But when Liz discovered Danny's scheme, she tried to kill him while he was swimming along the beach. Liz donned a diving suit with a silver stripe on the left shoulder and went on an inflatable boat and circled Danny while he was in the water, trapping him while the evil Liz spilled chum to attract sharks to kill Danny. But Liz did not know that Danny escaped the attempted murder.
After attempting to kill Danny, she went over to the sugar mill house (informed by Boone Aldridge) to go on Danny's computer to download the Kilauea file sent by the mole. But Danny's friend Ben Kanaka interrupted Liz's villainous scheme. The evil Liz shot and killed Ben, then she smashed the computer to destroy any incriminating evidence.
Just as Liz was about to get away with it, Jessica Fletcher deduced Liz as Danny's attempted killer when the silver stripe on the diving suit was actually a length of silver duct tape to remporarily repair the suit after tearing it while coral diving. The police eventually discovered the Kilauea disk in Liz's belongings, along with the diving suit and inflatable boat. Liz, seeing as there is no point of denying it, confessed in attempting to kill Danny to prevent her scam involvement to be revealed and killed Ben when he found out. Liz was eventually taken under arrest for her crimes.
