Joanna Sapphire (CSI)

Joanna Sapphire (Frances Fisher) is the true main villainess from "Maid Man," episode 12.04 of CSI (airdate October 12, 2011). She was the wife of notorious mobster Vinny Sapphire.
Joanna was shown as one of three mob wives who attended the opening of a mob museum, which was hosted by former Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman. Goodman was later shot, but survived due to his suit being made of bulletproof material; however, Stanley Gant--a security guard--was found shot to death. Joanna was interviewed by Jim Brass, who asked her about Vinny, with Joanna replying that while she supported Goodman, her husband didn't, mainly due to the fact that Goodman refused to defend him when he was facing double murder charges 20 years prior.
Vinny disappeared in the 20 years that passed, though he was suspected of the shootings, mainly due to the fact that the motive behind the incident was a hit list belonging to Lou Gatta, who was Vinny's boss. The CSI crew appeared to find Vinny at a hotel room, but as it turned out, the person found in the suit was none other than Monique Roberts, who was Vinny's mistress. Monique had been shot to death, and as for Joanna, she was found at a mortuary by D.B. Russell and Greg Sanders, lashing out at Vinny in anger. After a feather was found on her person, it was concluded that Joanna was Monique's killer, and her fingerprints in the motel (as well as gunshot residue on her hands) completed the reveal.
As it turned out, both Joanna and Monique were co-conspirators in the scheme to find Gatta's list, which revealed the location of Vinny's emergency funds. Joanna revealed that Monique phoned her five months prior and revealed that Vinny had died of cancer, after which they went on the mission to find the money. Monique seduced Gant into getting the list, after which she shot him to death; all the while, Joanna got herself invited to the opening, and she was the one who shot Goodman. Afterwards, the evil Joanna shot Monique to death in the hotel room, and while she didn't reveal why she killed Monique, she stated that she shot Goodman because he (in her mind) ruined her marriage when he didn't defend Vinny. Joanna was arrested for her crimes, and in a surprising moment, Goodman appeared and revealed that he would serve as Joanna's legal defense.
