Lorraine Cobin (née Strickland) was a wealthy widow and a suspect in the murders of her husband, wealthy businessman Alan Cobin, and Ronald Buck, a career criminal who she hired to kill Alan.
Although she was acquitted of the felony murder charge in Buck's death, after Detectives Briscoe and Green recorded a conversation between her and her daughter Melissa Cobin, she was later arrested for murder for hire in the death of her husband, as she hired Buck to murder Alan to inherit his millions. Her daughter, who was also implicated in Buck's murder, was subsequently cleared of all charges. She was tried, convicted, and executed. (L&O: "For Love or Money")
