Laura (Scooby Doo and the Alien Invaders)

Laura (Audrey Wasilewski) is a villainess from the 2000 film Scooby Doo and the Alien Invaders. She, along with her friends Steve and Max, made up the group SALF (Search for Alien Life Forms), an organization operating out of Roswell, New Mexico.
During their work, Laura and her friends inadvertently uncovered a cave filled with gold. Knowing that they couldn't claim the gold due to it being on government property, Laura and her greedy co-workers decided to keep the gold for themselves and not report the finding. To keep locals from discovering the mine, Laura and her friends disguised themselves as aliens to scare them away, even disguising a helicopter as a spaceship and stealing local livestock to further the deception. They also hired fake military police officers to monitor the area and keep people away.
When the Scooby Gang arrived in Roswell after their car broke down in the desert, Shaggy and Scooby were abducted by the disguised scientists, holding them captive before knocking them out and leaving them in the desert. Velma Dinkley had early suspicions about Laura and her friends as she, Fred Jones, and Daphne Blake received a tour of SALF, as she noticed mud on their boots from their illegal excursions into the mine.
Laura and her friends were exposed as self-serving villains when the Scooby Gang (along with Shaggy's new love interest, Crystal, and her dog, Amber) discovered the mine, leading to Laura and her accomplices (disguised as aliens) trapping Velma, Fred, and Daphne in a net while the fake MPs chased after Shaggy, Crystal, and Amber. After Velma deduced that the three scientists were the "aliens", Laura unmasked herself along with Steve and Max, with the gang revealing their greedy goal of robbing the mine before preparing to kill the mystery solvers by dropping them down a pit.
But before they could, their fake MPs ran up to them, having been scared off by Crystal and Amber transforming into their true alien forms. Laura prepared to run when Steve stopped her and convinced her to help him capture Crystal and Amber using their bulldozer, agreeing with him that capturing the aliens would be worth far more than the gold. Laura and Steve were ultimately defeated when Fred dropped their net on them, and their other conspirators were wrapped in a metal bar by alien Amber. After Crystal and Amber returned to their spaceship, Laura and her conspirators were arrested.
