Dr. Frances Barry (Profiler)

Dr. Frances Barry (Lee Garlington) is the main villainess from "Insight," the pilot episode of Profiler (airdate September 21, 1996). She is a psychiatrist who was approached by Sam Waters during a case involving the murders of several women.
Dr. Barry pointed out that the victims were patients of another psychiatrist, Lawrence Harrison, and he was instantly painted as the main suspect. However, when Sam is at the home of another female patient and attempted victim (who was found tied up), Dr. Barry turned heel and attacked Sam, revealing herself as a villainess and the actual killer. 
As shown during the attack, the evil Barry dressed in men's clothing while strangling Sam, clearly attempting to frame Dr. Harrison for the murders. Sam fought off the villainess and recognized her as Barry, who is later arrested for her actions. As Sam and Bailey Malone revealed, Dr. Barry had self-esteem issues due to being told by her mother that she wasn't pretty enough during her childhood, serving as a motive for Dr. Barry's heel turn and serial killings towards women.
