Lori Graham (Murder, She Wrote)

Lori Graham (Lisa Wilcox) is a hidden villainess from "Murder on the Thirtieth Floor," episode 10.15 of Murder, She Wrote (airdate February 6, 1994). She was introduced as the niece of Jessica Fletcher's publisher, Edward Graham.
In actuality, Lori was not Edward's niece, nor was Lori Graham her real name (which was never revealed). She was actually an out-of-work actress enlisted by Leonard Ambler in a plan to kill Edward for his insurance money. The plan also included psychiatrist Jerry Santana, who manipulated Edward as he spoke about his dreams regarding his late wife, Beth Graham. As part of the plan, the evil Lori "haunted" Edward by leaving messages posing as Beth, coercing him to "join" her.
Lori's messages were made to trick Edward into killing himself, and it was in the episode's midpoint that the villainess spoke to Edward once again as Beth, leading a mesmerized Edward to walk up to the top of the building. Once there, Leonard appeared and shoved Edward off the roof, and he later killed Santana to prevent him from getting a share of the money. It was after Lori received the payment that she was revealed as a conspirator, and this was followed by Leonard's reveal as the mastermind. The villainess denied everything at first, but after Jessica uncovered Leonard's role in killing Santana, Lori confessed to being hired by Leonard, but claimed that she had no idea what she was doing. Jessica stated otherwise to the claim, and Lori was arrested for her role in Edward's death.
