Paul tried to plead and beg to Caroline to resume payments. Eventually, Caroline refused his offers, leaving Paul angry. Paul began an elaborate scheme to embezzle Caroline sponsorship money. He created an unknown entity account using Caroline's husband's identity, whenever sponsor's money comes in Caroline's accounts, money would also enter in Paul's entity account and Paul would receive his money.

However, Caroline discovered the entity account that has been taking the sponsorship money. Since it was created under Justin's name, she confronted Justin about the account, which resulted to a verbal argument. Justin then discovered who really created the account, so he called Paul to confront him about the embezzlement.

Justin met up with Paul in the backyard pool, Paul admitted it and offered a share of his income in exchange for his silence, but Justin refused his offers. Desperate, Paul grabbed the ashtray and used it to bludgeon Justin to death. He then pushed Justin into the pool to make it look like a diving accident.

While Edwin Goodman was investigating, Paul denied about the embezzlement. Paul then pretended to think that Caroline was innocent, in reality, he framed Caroline by planting the murder weapon in her storage room.

Despite evading suspicion from the police, Edwin was able to deduce Paul as Justin's murderer. This was established when Paul received a parking ticket on his motorcycle, which Paul eventually disposed off.

Paul eventually confessed in killing Justin and made an attempt to murder Edwin, but the police arrived in time to arrest Paul.

Samuel divorced Rita and married Susan, under the false identity Joyce Parsons, for discretion. Susan had a complete transformation from a timid journalist to a blonde bombshell.

However, after three years of marriage, Susan/Joyce no longer wanted to continue on with the married life. So, Susan and Samuel decided to "kill" Joyce by staging a plane crash from Samuel's private jet. Susan's plastic implants were removed and she reverted back to Susan. The two continued their love relationship in secret. Samuel then started seeing Susan's journalist partner Christina Jordan.

Samuel and Susan's meeting place for their love was the walk-in safe, where they had both access to. One night, Susan entered the safe. But, that night, instead of meeting with Samuel, she met with her killer, who bludgeoned her to death with Samuel's golf club. The safe records show that Christina entered the safe last time.

Paul Siegel

**Paul Carson Siegel** was the manager of the United Bank, he was responsible for the embezzlement of millions of dollars in the bank. Paul resolved in killing the bank's security officer Jimmy Reid through a robbery he staged in the episode "The Robbery In The United Bank".

Paul was siphoning money from his clients in the bank. But, there was a problem, the security officer working in the United Bank Jimmy Reid discovered his ploy. Paul could not take any risks of having anyone know about his scheme, so he meticulously planned his murder through a bank robbery.

That day in the bank, Paul entered the vault and took the disguise of a bank robber and snuck out of the emergency escape hatch, making it look like that he was in the vault during the robbery. Paul burst in the bank and shot Jimmy to death. He held the staff and clients hostage and entered the vault to make it look like he was holding the manager hostage. The staff heard Paul screaming and packing the cash in the bag. After this, he removed his disguise and the pack of cash and hid it in a secret compartment in the vault. Paul shot himself in the arm and threw it out of the escape hatch to make it look like the robber tried to kill him and accidentally dropped his gun while escaping. When the police arrived, the staff claimed that Paul was in the vault during the entire robbery.

However, Edwin Goodman was able to pinpoint Paul as the robber and Jimmy's murderer. The police were able to search through the vault and discovered the disguise and pack of cash in the secret compartment, which Edwin was able to recognise through the wall pattern.

Renee Yeager

**Renee Yeager** is the wife of young philanthropist, Greg Yeager. Both Greg and Renee were renowned for being pillars to the community. Renee appeared in the episode "Until Proven Guilty" (S09E14).

The episode begins with Greg and Renee's house being burgled, the couple caught the burglar, Marvin Jones, in the act. There was a struggle, ending with Marvin and Greg dead and Renee surviving the ordeal.

To Lt. Jensen and the rest of Kentville police, it appears to be a simple open and shut case. Renee has explained the situation to the police – Marvin was caught burgling the house, he shot and killed Greg during a struggle and Renee grabbed the gun from Kevin while struggling with Marvin. She claimed to have killed Marvin in self-defence.

However, in Edwin's perspective, he thinks that Renee killed both the burglar and her husband in cold-blood. At first, he thought that Renee hired Marvin to burgle the house while she was out with her husband. When they arrived home, Marvin killed Greg and Renee killed Marvin to cover up her tracks.

But then, Renee contradicted Edwin's theory – she could not have paid Marvin to kill Greg as she discovered a transaction from Greg's account to Marvin, claiming that Greg could have hired Marvin to kill her. Renee also insinuated that Marvin killed Greg out of greed upon being hired. Edwin was left bewildered in trying to prove Renee as a cold blooded killer.

It was until Edwin noticed the antiques Marvin was stealing – they were insured by Greg and Renee, any damages will reward them $3 million. It was there and then that Edwin established a motive Renee had to kill both Greg and Marvin – the Yeager couple hired Marvin to stage a burglary in order to collect insurance money, but the murders were impromptu to Greg as Renee planned to keep the money to herself. Therefore, a new theory arose – When the Yeager couple arrived home, Renee shot her husband then Marvin, also inflicting injuries on herself to make it look like she fought in self defense.

With the help of the Yeagers' insurance agent, Steven Tomlin, Edwin was able to gather enough evidence to prove that Renee was the orchestrator of both murders. Edwin then weaved up a trap for Renee, instructing Steven to blackmail Renee. Sure enough, Renee fell for the trap, she confronted Steven and tried to kill him because he discovered her scheme. This trap was a demonstration of Renee's cold blooded nature for the police, it was a legible confession that she and Greg came up with the scheme and that Renee planned the murders. Renee was eventually arrested on the spot.

## Trivia

* Renee is among one of the unique killers in the series, as Edwin was trying to prove that she killed in cold blood. She was the only suspect in this case.

Marilyn then began to have an affair with Sherman behind Vincent, falling for his charm, thinking that she was the most special woman he had, with Sherman promising to divorce his wife, Carla, to continue on their relationship.

But, then, Marilyn found out that Sherman had been using his relationship with her only to gain information from Vincent's company so that a merge would not have to be necessary. Marilyn was angry after finding out that she was just "one of his women", no one special. She decided to kill her lover.

When Marilyn noticed that Sherman was planning a passionate night out with his secretary, Martine Pierrette, Marilyn took the opportunity to commit the murder then. Marilyn disguised herself as Martine and went into Sherman's hotel room. Through her experience with Sherman, she knew the process with him, she had to inject an insulin shot in order for him to eat the room service. The shot consisted of a toxin that would kill Sherman once Marilyn would be in her bridal shower, and when Martine would supposedly arrive.

However, Marilyn made one mistake that made Edwin ousted her as the killer — the insulin that was injected into Sherman's system. The recombinant DNA that was used to produce synthetic insulin had a different bacteria that produced it, as deduced from the code that was used to label the bacteria that contained Sherman's DNA. However, the label code of the tampered insulin was different from Sherman's own code, as the bacteria's DNA was different as he received that insulin bottle from Montana. The insulin that was tampered came from Minnesota, with the bottle being purchased by Marilyn, suggesting that Marilyn bought the insulin to kill Sherman. Marilyn, submitting to her guilt, confessed to the murder.
